Pink Is The New Black

Jacket: Vintage, Blouse: Vintage, Shorts: Paper Denim for Men, Shoes: Sam Edelman

Sometimes there is nothing better than wanting something that is in style and finding it for a dollar. I lust after the Alexander Wang fuchsia blazer but, at that price it's just not happening now. I lucked out on this great blazer that came with some hideously cool pants. The pants are to small but, that's okay all I wanted was the jacket anyways. The blouse kind of reminds me like Marc by Marc Jacobs. I think I am obsessed with pink right now.

In The Pink

Dress: Alexander Wang, Jacket: Rose Bowl Flea Market, Boot: Prada, Gladiators: Jeffrey Campbell, Vest: Solemio

I was inspired by an outfit in Vogue. I thought, I have the dress and I have a similar jacket, now all I have to do is create this from my closet. I also wore this ensemble to work and needed to tone it down for the daytime so I chose a vest that is faux leather and grey that I picked up at a cute store on Abbot Kinney, in Venice, called Princepessa. I love the pink right now and it is a hot color to wear with black. Check out the Alexander Wang spring.

Inspiration Balmain

Loved this look since the first time I laid eyes on it.

Look at this fabulous military style jacket and the jeans are to die for, if you can afford 2 grand a pair.

Here's my find it yourself. I still am looking for the perfect acid wash jeans. These jeans I bought from the men's side at Barneys and decided to go big and make them into slouchy skinny style boyfriend jean. My alterations gal did amazing job in getting the jeans a bit more skinnier. The jacket was found at the Rose Bowl Flea Market. I thought I was dreaming. It cost only 10.00 dollars ( oh and the jeans were 8.00 dollars plus alterations).

My sister and I went shopping at the Grove in L.A. and stumbled upon these Jeffrey Campbell look a-likes. I yelled Balmain, I have to have those. Viola the look complete.

Today's Diggs

Jeans, Paper Denim: Blouse, Velvet: Jacket, Vintage: Boots Dumond

This was today's work outfit. I thought it was best to start wearing more of the things that I have and really incorporate a lot of the old with the new, such as the vintage velvet jacket. Sometimes at night I think of different things that I have and how I would wear them and say to myself, " I don't need another thing but what happens is I don't really listen to self. This is the L.A. uniform for winter, boots and skinnies.

Sequins And Fur

This was an outfit that I wore for a Christmas dinner party.

I was ecstatic when my sister brought this dress home from a

local thrift store in the area. Usually this area isn't conducive to

amazing finds. But, I was so excited to see this sequins, 80's, bohemian

style dress. I thought the perfect thing to wear with it is my new

rabbit coat/ vest.

Sometimes it's just fun to bring out what's in the closet. Since I did the biggest shopping spree that I have ever done in the history of my life, at the BNY warehouse sale, I really need to get creative with what is in my closet. Seriously, I have some serious fashion issues. It's really never enough. It's just so much damn fun that it's addicting. Thrifting isn't about what I find but, the hunt of the find. When you love something so much and feel a creative flow, you just have to indulge a little and show what you got. I love being inspired by so many different creative aspects.

Dulcinee N.Y.C.

Photography: Rinze Van Brug
Styling: Anett Gabriel

I discovered this awesome store in the new Nylon mag. Dulcinee NYC is a high end vintage store store that carries the most amazing pieces by some of the most coveted designers. The boutique is owned by Mauren Leon and is located in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. The appeal is very early 1900's these looks are so delicious and lovely. I love the flirty girl inspired looks and pieces. Being a photographer I was in love with the editorial of the stores website and had to check out Rinze and Anett. These are some of the most talented people and between all three of them have amazing since of taste and style.

Today's Outfit

Dress: Diane Von Furstenburg

Shoes: Jeffdrey Campbell

Tuxedo Jacket: Vintage

Belt: Dries Van Noten

I was inspired by a look that people found hard to pull off at my work. Countless women would try this dress on and to no avail would put it back. So, I decided that I would have to purchase this ensemble and try to make it work. I thought why not pair it with this Dries Van Noten belt and my fringe glads. I was so impressed by how amazing this dress worked out that I bought it and decided to wear it to work. I actually sold this whole look to another girl who thought of buying it before but thought that it was just to much fabric. Well over the past couple of days since I bought it it has sold out. I can't take 100% of the credit but, it sure felt good to see someone be inspired by a little ole challenge of mine.

What I'm Wearing

Dress: Vintage Neiman Marcus
Belt: Nicholas K
Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell

Sometimes you just luck out on something remarkable at a thrift store. When I first saw this dress it was long and kind of old fashion. So, the only solution was to mini the sucker. I loved that it has such incredible rose detail and that the fabric is silk. I adore silk and it has to be one of my favorite fabrics along with cashmere. But, who doesn't like quality fabric?

Good Ole China Town

It was a fun day in L.A. hanging with friends on a beautiful Sunday. That's the best time to be in L.A. when there is no traffic. I hope everyone had a safe and wonderful 4th of July.

Here's To You Nikks

Jumper: Calvin Klein Vintage

Shoes: Bakers Shoes

Belt: Dries Van Noten

When I found this nifty jumper I was thrilled. I had all these ideas of what I would wear and how I would wear it. But, then I thought can I really pull this off. I am in suburbia and suburbia is always two years behind any new trend. So, being me I thought who gives a hoot hoot. When I got to work I promised everyone that I would wear this and well here it is. I couldn't believe how many people, young and old responded by this look and asked where did I get this jumper. I guess it was worth going all over town and looking for a good find. Here's to you Nikki. Have an awesome summer and kick but, up north.

Okay, I look like I am trying to take flight not once but, twice. This one is a self timer picture and to get the frame I had to do it. This is my Saturday outfit. My sister and I got up early to get to this estate sale. I must say people are crazy. I got pushed in the frenzy to get to nothing, go figure. But, I did find this great hat and it has a feather on the size. I also got a couple of vests and a necklace. So, in the long run it was worth the madness.

Awww The Infamous Clutch

I went to northern Cali for a little get away with my sister. I love the fresh air of Northern cali. It is always so pleasant and the people are very approachable. Along the way I saw a yard sale and had to stop. You never know what you will find at such places. Plus where do all the groovey mammas go when they retire with all their cool digs in tow? Yes northern Cali. It's an oasis for those who have the need to retreat away from southern Cali. You know the ones who paved the way for us fashionistas.

When I got to the table and saw all these incredible clutch bags, I thought I was in a fanatasy dream where you find everything you've ever wanted and then wake up and it's all just a dream. Well, this one came true. The treasures that bestowed me. My arms were so full before I had to ask where can I put this to look some more. I was in the "Zone" you couldn't pry me away from scourring through the tables, boxes, and racks. They even had a free box. And, yes there were treasures in there as well. My sister even ask with excitement, "who are these people and where did they come from?" They were somebodies grandma now but, they must of been some sweet fashionistas in their day. Check out a few of these precious finds.
