The Coveted Shoppe Opens
Well, here it is, The Coveted Shoppe. It had to happen… a shop born out of my love for shopping and sharing my finds with you. It’s a shop where you can find affordable vintage pieces that you can wear in your everyday wardrobe, pieces that are meant to be worn in a modern way, [...]
Nothing Neutral About It
One of the great thrills of living in a new city is finding the cool boutiques. One of the great things about boutiques is that they have so much more personality than major shopping chains. I really got the European experience when finding Azita in Frankfurt. It carries Reality Studio and Henrik Vibskov, two designers [...]
This Little Pixie Went to the Market
Lovely Mia turned us onto Pixie Market… holy moly. I’m beginning to wonder if LA is really my city (it’s not, the driving sucks, but sometimes I wonder and I’d like to be closer to Mom). Like Welcome Hunters, Pixie Market is a seriously cool boutique in LA. I would say they have even [...]
23 Stores to Watch on eBay
The good thing about eBay is you can find anything your looking for… the bad thing about ebay is… well since anything can be found, it’s hard sorting through the mass of listings.
Personally, I get overwhelmed easily. I’ve spent a lot of time working out how to look for things on eBay, like spending hours [...]
The Coveted Closet on eBay
Unless you are a hardcore eBay junkie, you probably don’t know of my new pieces on eBay. I just listed them yesterday. The only reason why I’m selling them is because I couldn’t take them to Germany with me. They might as well not sit at my sister’s house…
First of is a vintage 1960’s [...]
Welcome Hunters & Gatherers
Just when you start to wonder if LA style is really all about Nicole Ritchie and what’s her name… Mischa Barton, something like Welcome Hunters pops up on the radar. From the many times I’ve wishfully gazed upon the pages of Creatures of Comfort, Welcome Hunters adds to my joy that I’ll always have a [...]
Hope in a 3 Euro Bolero…
Rocky felt bad about my wandering around Frankfurt aimlessly, looking for good shops. Today, he took me to Kleidermakrt a second had shop that gets most of its vintage imported from the US. It was pretty cool, the price point being €15 or so. I would liken it to going to Wasteland, only I don’t [...]
In Lieu of Ordinary Attire
It’s no secret that over the years I’ve been a dedicated patron of the Polk Street boutiques, and I’ll miss the likes of Mascara Vintage, Bella Cose, Anica and of course In Lieu. In the past few months I’ve become friends with Christina Claypool owner of this boutique. She’s certainly passionate about finding high quality [...]
Why, I Otte..
Finding shoppes online is easy, finding good ones? Not so easy. Finding ones that inspire, even tougher. Lately, I’ve been going through some what of a challenge trying to determine how to cultivate my personal style. I’m not really sure how to articulate what has been bothering me lately, perhaps because I’ve gained weight and [...]
Citizens of the world
I finally got down to neighborhood boutique, Eco Citizen, It’s such a great little place, with so many wonderful eco-friendly clothing. Many of the designers they carry are from San Francisco, so making it such a wonderful little jem. Seriously, she has all the great William Good, and Turk&Taylor clothes, along with some really high-end [...]
