Vintage Vixen

Nothing says vintage vixen like chic old-fashioned clothing, accessories, and home decor. Here I've rounded up samples of the best vintage options around, including A-line skirts, heirloom style jewelry, and antiquities to revamp your pad. If you’re a sucker for lace, chiffon, floral, and uniquely-fashioned finds, this is the collection for you! Scour your local thrift store, garage sales, and second-hand shops. Don't like the idea of wearing gently-used clothing? Check out www.modcloth.com for retro-inspired options. For me, vintage shopping is about the thrill of the hunt and the history behind each garment or piece. What are you waiting for? Get out there and reinvent the past with timeless style and a touch of glamour.

Preppy + Hipster = Prepster

Just because an Ivy League education costs an arm and a leg doesn’t mean you can’t rock the polished “Prepster” look! The selection of casual, evening, and business-minded duds will take you from day to night. Nautical hues and carefully selected neckwear, topped off with a double-breasted jacket create clean lines and ooze a sense of sophistication. The combination of stripes, slim-fit, crisp collars, and oxfords will leave you looking quirky, yet refined, cultured, and elite

Spring Forward with a Blast from the Past

Spotlight on Derek Lam’s 2011 Spring Collection where bell bottoms swept the runway, literally.

Almost a half-century later, the 70’s inspired jeans still manage to look cool! Worried that you can’t pull off this vintage look? Nonsense! Flared jeans are universally flattering. For girls with curves, the width below the knee will help to balance out a wide hip, in contrast to the popular skinny jean. Pair them with a tucked-in blouse and towering wedge heels for a long and lean look. Complete the look with wooden bangles and a cross-body bag. You’ll be lookin’ outta sight and feelin’ groovy!
