Wow! A 90-piece collection of vintage Braniff uniforms, shoes, luggage and accessories designed by none other than Pucci, Halson and Narducci of Dallas is now available on eBay.
The collection was amassed by a former Braniff flight attendant who flew for over 20 years. And I guess if you or I had to wear a uniform designed by Pucci or Halston, we might actually tuck it…
If you’ve been experiencing the intense heat wave creating record high temperatures this summer, probably the last thing you want to look at is anything made of heavy knit, wool, or tweed.
But global warming is not only making our hot days hotter. Oh no, no, no. While winters are becoming milder and shorter on average, we can also expect the effects of global warming to produce…
I attended the screening of Salt last night at LACMA, which was actually the movie’s “real” premiere since the showing at Grauman’s Chinese Theater started an hour later. And while action films aren’t my favorite genre, I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed this hour-and-a-half of non-stop action.
During the Q&A with the film’s director, Phillip Noyce, we learned that this film about a sleeper…
Very often, your choice of jewelry is the piece de resistance of your outfit, the finishing touch that makes the whole look special and unique. I know I often find myself in front of the mirror with multiple selections of bracelets and necklaces in a pile nearby, trying one piece, then another, then two together, until finally, finally, I find the right balance.
Of course, if want…
Vintage scarves are one of the great pleasures in life, don’t you think?
They come in every shape, color and size and you can find one to fit any budget. Whether you choose to tie one around you neck, wrap one around your head, tuck one into a pocket or attach one to your purse, they’re a great way to add color and style to any…
Just because I don’t carry vintage shoes in my online boutique doesn’t mean I’m averse to wearing them. Oh no, no, no! On the contrary, I have plenty of vintage heels and even a few flats kicking around in my shoe drawers. (Yes, you read that right, I store my shoes in drawers.)
And I tend to mix and match. If I’m wearing a modern dress…
So many people complain that there aren’t enough hours in a day and use that as an excuse for why they aren’t doing their part to green the planet. But it doesn’t take an hour a day to be green, it can take as little as 30 seconds. That’s right—just 30 seconds!
Greenwala recently shared 10 Ways to Go Green in 30 Seconds or Less that included…
About a decade ago, I remember being at a formal event in NYC and walking into the powder room where a woman took me by the arm and whispered, “Your dress is the talk of the evening.” I hoped, of course, that she meant it as a compliment, but considering I was wearing an outrageously colorful peacock print maxi I wasn’t so sure.
You see, I’m…
When I’m acquiring vintage pieces for myself or for my business, I am usually searching for the very iconic or the extremely distinctive. I have often returned a piece to the rack simply because it wasn’t special enough.
But sometimes, the plain ol’ ordinary can rise to a level of extraordinary and make my cut. A piece like today’s VPOD, for instance.
The stark minimalism of this…
You may love silk but did you know that according to a University of Illinois report quoted at PETA’s Media Center, about 3,000 silkworms die to make every pound of silk?
Now, I’m a gal who refrains from harming animals whenever possible. I’m one of those people who has a cup under her sink labeled “Bugs” for capturing and releasing to the great outdoors the myriad…
