Manhattan Vintage Clothing Show
Put 90 vintage clothing vendors under one roof and I’m like a kid in a candy store. One of my annual to-dos before fashion week is browsing the racks at the Manhattan Vintage Show. This year’s event was held on February 3rd & 4th at the Metropolitan Pavilion, and was nothing short of amazing. The only shortcoming was the Christian Lacroix special exhibit. He’s got talent, but most of the...

Hats off to vintage
I wish I lived in an era where beautiful hats were part of a women’s daily wardrobe. Unfortunatly, fashion hats are a rarity now outside of horse races and Southern churches. Still, I can’t help but wonder what life would have been like to walk down 5th ave donning a nice pill box…without looking like I was on my way to a theme party. I love this image of a classic Givenchy hat,...

Le Swing Vintage Shop
If there’s one thing I love, it’s discovering new vintage shops. Too bad my latest discovery was over 3,500 miles away! Located in the El Born area of Barcelona (think Soho without the annoying tourists), Le Swing Vintage is notably one of the coolest shops in Spain. From classic brands like Chanel, Vuitton, & St.Laurent, to retro-chic clothing from local designers, Le Swing offers an...
