Lara Noel Hill is a talented LA jewelry designer who recycles one-of-a-kind vintage jewelry into fresh, modern pieces that any vintage fashionista will love.
After a little persuasion and whole lot of wooing, she agreed to design several exclusive necklaces for Zuburbia that will be available only through my Open Sky Store.
And ta-dah! Her first two designs have finally arrived.
Each piece is lovingly handmade and you should grab her talent while you can at a price you can afford.
After all, her beauties have graced the runways of Eileen Fisher, Richard Tyler and Betsey Johnson and have been worn by celebrities as diverse as Queen Latifah, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Sharon Osbourne, Kim Delaney and Avril Lavigne.
Her first necklace design for Zuburbia features a vintage 1950s Coro gold-and-white floral brooch as its centerpiece and is accented with a vintage 1960 gold-toned chain, textured beads and faux pearls.
And while Lara’s pieces retail as high as $750 at various boutiques across the country, she’s offering this one-of-a-kind piece through Zuburbia for only $145.
It’s an exclusive and beautiful find for a vintage fashionista!

I was driving a good friend to the mechanic’s yesterday to pick up his car and moaning about how my sunroof wasn’t working. And as I was punching the button to show him the problem he said, “That’s cute. You’re trying to open the sunroof by pressing the garage door opener.”
So clearly my issue was no more serious than operator stupidity! Of greater concern to me, however, was his use of the word cute.
Cute?! No way!
I can think of plenty of words to describe me—some quite unflattering—but I outgrew cute at least two decades ago. It’s a compliment that should never be paid to women but only to adorable little lovelies like today’s VPOD.
This vintage cotton sundress with its summer-y pastel stripes and deep pockets also reveals plenty of tanned back—and all at a price that won’t break your wallet.
It’s a super-cute find for a young vintage fashionista!
Available from Ikahn Vintage.

Here’s a great dinner party question for you:
“If you could have one superpower what would it be?”
The ability to fly? Invisibility? Telekinesis?
NPR featured a piece on this issue over the weekend and the surprising part was that almost everyone knew immediately which superpower they’d choose but no one was interested in using their superpower to help others.
As for me, I’d want to be a caped crusader in today’s VPOD with the ability to take away physical and emotional pain. This vintage 1970s wool cape from Yves Saint Laurent’s Ballet Russe collection is a museum quality collector’s piece and an ultra-chic way to fight fashion crime.
It’s a powerful find for a vintage fashionista!
Available at Time’s Up Vintage.
