Corks and Caftans

Man am I glad I wrote this post way back when: Oprah knows fashion, y’all. If not, there’d be a good chance someone would spy the following post and waver for a moment while considering whether or not I’d previously mentioned an inclination toward religious cult-dom. Sistah Wives in the hizzy: [Vintage dress from etsy [...]

[Vintage silk wrap dress, $15, from Custard Heart Vintage + Pelle Moda heels, on sale at Shopbop + Gorjana turquoise pendant + Ben Amun dreamcatcher earrings.] I feel like sort of a show-off with these vintage things, but I slipped this on tonight and had to high five Eli’s butt in my solitude. What is [...]

Meet my first decent vintage piece, found all on my own—without any help from carefully curated etsy shops. After some encouragement from Kaitlin (at All This Happiness, so lovely) I decided to venture into the awfully quiet back room of Reruns in Saratoga Springs—seriously, it’s so quiet, I panic and imagine Labyrinth-style goblins holding their [...]

Reposting out of sheer excitement that fleece-lined bomber jackets are all over the place right now. Not as a badge of my foresight, more bragging about the foresight of a father who held on to it. Do I still want a Burberry one? Oh God yes. Will this have to do for now? Yup. And… [...]

I got this ridiculous vintage shirt at the “Egyptian Bazaar” on Broadway for five bones. It was nestled between some seriously legit caftans. And when it [...]

My new amulet, to keep away evil spirits and jerks and kitter-hating meanies:

[Vintage dashiki + Current/Elliott Elephant bell jeans + Alex and Ani hoops] Where I can usually be found: on my tuffet by the fire, laptop open, glass of wine and Eli present and close by.

Our buddy Grieco referred me to this awesome line, based out of good old Richmond, VA, my old hometown. Excellent drapey necklaces that are, as he mentioned, “right up my alley.” Meet Thief&Bandit, and my next purchase: [Thief&Bandit and some wares.] [Double braid spring forest fabric necklace, $40.]

[70s jewelry designers, Alex & Lee courtesy style.com.] Groov-normous! Fringe-adelic! Look at these dudes.

SHUT UP. Must possess: [Gucci 90's-era column dress, $294 @ VagabondNYC.com] Tom Ford, people.

From the ELLE Street Chic blog: Dude. No. Way… I totally have that exact coat! Seriously—the exact same coat!
