Givenchy ankle booties and I walked away with a broken heart!

Givenchy ankle booties (see more bootie boots)
The other week I went to Sacks 5th Avenue and saw a pair of these puppies on sale! (GASP! I know!) I was shopping with my boyfriends sister in law (Hi AnneMarie :) and she practically had to pull me away from them! One shoe was missing an ankle strap and they were the last pair, I almost bought them just to have a new strap made at a local shoe repair shop. I walked away from them with shaky knees, and I miss them still. Farewell my Givency friends. Maybe someday you will be mine!

To Vintage or not to Vintage? That is the question....

  It is items like this sweater that I will be looking for at the Vintage Stores this season: 

Vintage Marni

Sweater (see more v neck tops)


One of my favorite tn: 


One of my favorite things to do is spend a day with my sister driving around to all of our favorite Vintage shops. I am the quick shopper and she is the patient one that will take the time to comb through the racks-she finds the most marvelous things. But, my point is that we make a good team!
I found myself with the question, what denotes an item officially "Vintage"? Generally speaking, clothing that was produced before the 1920's is referred to as antique clothing and clothing from the 1920's to the 1980's is considered vintage. Let the shopping begin!

Rick Owens jacket, perfect Fashion Investment

Rick Owens jacket (see more leather biker jackets)


Every now and again a fashion item comes along that a woman really must splurge on. My personal opinion is that one of those items is a wonderful leather jacket. You want a cut that is timeless. It should be black or another signature color that you know will never go out of style for you, like brown... And then when you fall in love and just know it would it fit just right over practically everything that you have in your closet: SPLURGE!
