Weekend Whereabouts

Hit The vintage Flea markets again, thinking this is going to be my saturday routine, there's a overturn of amazing vintage finds and i love getting out walking around, and getting inspiration & ideas! Went to a two floor flea in chelsea...don't go it was a shitshow. I will never ever go back. But right across the street was New York Vintage, where Rachel Zoe goes when she's in town. Oh my word this store was amazing. Yes everything was suer expensive i'm talking about numbers hitting over $800 to well over a thousand for pieces but the stuff was impeccable everything was carefully cleaned and cared for before putting on the floor to sell. The selection from 60's cocktail dresses to coats, shoes, handbags, scarfs, jewelry. They had the biggest selection of vintage Emilio Pucci I have seen in one place. I wanted to take pictures so bad, but they had about 30 signs all over the store stating no pictures were allowed. If you're in NYC take a trip, just to look its a amazing collection of vintage, as a designer and artist its a great place for inspiration. I will be going back & hey you never know maybe ill run into Rachel Zoe one day!

  1. Sign me up :) Something I have come to treasure is my great great grandmother's cameo brooch, it's been passed down from my mother and it's gorgeous but I'm yet to find something to wear it with, maybe I'll do a blog about it and some people will have ideas.

  2. I'm a follower (of course!) And my favorite vintage piece is my Grandmother's "The Lilly" dress from Lilly's first year of designing! Since her death, I have remodeled the dress to a more modern cut, and I am sure to be seen wearing it every Spring/Summer!
    Love the fashionista diaries!
