VPOD: Vintage 1980s Leather Jacket with Sequin Panels

vintage 1980s sequin leather jacket

I was paging through the August edition of a fashion magazine yesterday (from back to front as I have a habit of doing), when I stopped on a page that told me that color-block handbags were OUT.

VPOD: Vintage 1980s Coach Drawstring Bucket Handbag

vintage 1980s coach drawstring bucket handbag 1

vintage 1980s coach drawstring bucket handbag

As drawstring bucket bags come back into style and take their place on plenty of magazine editorial spreads for fall, I see it as a perfect opportunity to talk about women who carry a different kind of bucket everyday—a bucket full of water.

VPOD: Vintage 1980s Gianni Versace Dress

vintage 1980s gianni versace dress

When I think of summer dresses, I usually think of bright neons or romantic pastels but today’s VPOD makes me want to re-think summer (and re-think Versace).

Know for sex, glamour and rock ‘n’ roll, Versace dresses have been described as a mixture of “curve, glitter and slink,” and have been a favorite among supermodels and celebrities. And while today’s VPOD is missing the glitter, it…

vintage 1980s yves saint laurent sequin and suede wrap skirt

“That’s a wrap!” While this phrase once belonged only to Hollywood, signifying the end of filming on a movie set, it’s since worked it’s way into the lexicon and can be used to signify the end to…well, just about anything.

So next time you’re on the hunt for that perfect statement piece for your wardrobe, logging miles and miles leap-frogging from boutique to boutique, or getting…

VPOD: Vintage 1980s Gianfranco Ferre Sweater

vintage 1980s gianfranco ferre sweater

They say that vertical stripes make you appear slimmer. And they say that horizontal stripes make you appear wider. But I say that when you mix them all together like today’s VPOD, then stripes just look fantastic!

This bold 1980s graphic sweater by Gianfranco Ferre combines two of my favorites, grey and black, with two of my not-so-favorites, yellow and purple, for an eye-catching combination that…

VPOD: Vintage Bee Pins
