  • Vintage Blouse + Chiffon Ruffle Skirt

    By SP on August 10, 2011
    It has been so cold in the morning and evening in Los Angeles. The weather is so tricky. You bundle up.. only to have to undress during the day. Sigh! This look was inspired by Frida Kahlo. My good friend Natalie Rotman, named her precious rescue dog (who took pictures with me in this post) after Frida. In addition to [...]

  • Vintage Shirt + High-Waist Belted Skirt

    By SP on July 28, 2011
    I think one of the joys of “personal style” is exploring and having fun. I love playing with and mixing loud colors, prints, and shapes. With this outfit, I didn’t think twice about pairing the prints together. My whole outfit + accessories is centered around the skirt. I may wear it with a solid color top (preferably denim shirt or [...]

  • Vintage Pleated Boho Blouse + Ditsy Flare Pants

    By SP on July 8, 2011
    It has been a very exhausting but productive week. I’m thankful for his mercies. Ready for a chilled weekend. Scratch that. My favorite (she twisted my arm) and only niece is in town, so I’m going to show her a good time. I’ve had this top for a decade. Bought it at a vintage store in Maryland. For years, I [...]

  • Plaid Shirt + DIY Denim Skirt + OTK Boots

    By SP on May 16, 2011
    It has been a little cold in Los Angeles. Actually, not cold, cool. Nice breeze accompanied with some sunshine. That’s my kind of weather. So I brought out the OTK boots. The denim skirt, I made. Well, when I picked it up from a vintage store, it was an awkward length. I cut it shorter, cut off the waist, and [...]

  • Polka Dots Blouse + Electric Green Vintage Skirt

    By SP on May 10, 2011
    The first time I wore this top, I wore it here and paired it with a blue sheer maxi skirt I made. I like to pair bright hues with an equally loud piece (when they are separates). For me, toning it down totally bores. Today, I’m wearing it with a vintage skirt have had for years. Check this, I bought [...]

  • Sheer Tail Shirt + Bell Bottoms

    By SP on May 3, 2011
    I’m so glad I held on to these pants. I have close to giving it away so many times, but it was so hard to part with it. The fact is, I have had it in my closet pre kids and my first child is thirteen. There was a time, where I wouldn’t wear pants unless they are bell or [...]

  • Vintage Silk Caftan

    By SP on April 21, 2011
    This is what LA weather does to me. Right now, the weather is just perfect! Not too hot nor cold. Breeze so perfect you can feel it under your clothes. That’s why I’m in the softest caftan. A silk one. By the way, did I mention that I’m going to see PRINCE in concert tonight? Oh yeah.. My friend Theo [...]

  • Oliver Peoples 2011 Vintage Eyewear

    By ChalleBrown on April 11, 2011
    I was born with glasses on, so I am really excited that wearing them now is considered a “cool trend”.  Now, if you mix a passion for all that is vintage, you will understand why I love Oliver Peoples’ Spring 2011 Vintage Collection of spectacles. The collection was inspired by the 1920’s and 30’s with a hint of 60’s flair. [...]

  • The 70s Neon Green Pants

    By SP on April 8, 2011
    Those pants on Lady Gaga are heavenly. Topped with the platforms. I purchased 2 different styles from Urban Outfitters about 6 years ago. Definitely a good site to stalk every now and then for 70s or bohemian style. Wore one of the styles here. Your local thrift and vintage stores are also a good starting point, especially if you want [...]
