Rosebowl Ingenuity

Good Morning!!  
A little while ago I had the opportunity to work with such an amazing blogger, and most importantly an extremely awesome girl, Alexia whose blog Trinkets & Trends is sure to impress if you haven't checked it out already, you must do so now!  Anyways as you know I love vintage and always have! If you're new to looking and to trying to decipher what to look for and purchase, we thought it would be great to offer some help!   So..... we ventured into the wild depths of the Rosebowl Flea Market to see what damage we could do together!!!  So here is the result...some awesome tips for people looking for good vintage advice and in a ridiculously cool layout, so check it out!!  Also thank you so much Alexia for such an awesome day!  I love a good vintage hunt!

P.S.  NEW vintage gems are trickling in for the holidays, so be sure to check them out at Fashion or Famine Vintage Store!!!

B-b-b-b-eanie and the Jets








Well hello there and I hope you are having a seriously rad week so far!! hehe! Not to mention, I hope you had an absolutely wonderful Thanksgiving!!

I am really all about trying to get into the cold weather looks, but seriously its just been so darn warm in L.A.!!  I'm not saying I'm complaining, but I really could use just a little cold weather and maybe even some snow!!!  I have however, been able to bust out the ol' beanie and oh man I love this beanie so much!!  So why not throw it on with a black cocktail dress!

I had needed a black dress as very specific attire for an event, and of course I knew exactly what I wanted the dress to look like (well, to be honest I wanted the Balenciaga black ruffle skirt with a high slit from their past runway collection to be completely honest!).  Either way, I wanted volume and I wanted a big shoulder.  So I searched high and low and after much hem and haw I found this one in the most unexpected vintage store, and the minute I slipped it on it was mine.  So there you have it!

Talk to you soon!

Holiday Gold





Hello and good morning!!!  

I can't even believe its the holiday season already, let alone Thanksgiving next week and I couldn't be more excited about it!!  It's definitely one of my favorite holiday's if not my favorite!!  In lieu of the holiday season its time to wear as much gold as possible (even though I do this year round!)  

Today's look is all about my gold skirt I seriously can't get enough of!!  If you didn't know this already, I LOVE gold so much, a major chunk of my wardrobe consists of gold, and in my opinion it works the same way black does, it goes with everything!!  I have been getting a ton a wear out of this skirt and so for this I decided to keep it simple with a super old ripped up vintage white tee and my studded booties.         Also if your wondering how I'm wearing a tee and a skirt towards the end of November its because to be honest it just really hasn't gotten cold here yet!!  Looking forward to bundling up for the cold season!!

Talk to you soon!!!

Last Bit of Summer


 

Good Morning!!

As it's not quite freezing yet, its definitely getting cooler in L.A., so I figured one last ode to Summer with this look! I kept it super simple with some pastel vintage shorts that are too comfortable for words, and my favorite Stella McCartney sweat top.  Seriously I wear that puppy more than you know, it is just such an awesome basic.  The sleeves are very voluminous which add such a sense of chic to a sweatshirt!  Last but not least my favorite white pumps that couldn't be more perfect!

Simple In It's Paisleyness




Good Morning!!!

Today's post is simple in its paisleyness.  I love paisley (if you didn't already know this)!!!  These pants may or may not have been borrowed (wink, wink) from the raddest guy around aka Noah Dean.   I really haven't stopped wearing them since I discovered them.  They are the perfect loose fit and the colors are exuberant!  Awesome for an easy go to outfit,  all you need is a simple tank and some classic patent pumps!

Anyways I hope you have an amazing rest of your week!!

Talk to you soon!
