This weekend I braved the cold and stopped in the Manhattan Vintage Clothing Show. 90 of the top vintage sellers were all in one place armed with the most amazing finds. I saw the lovely Pamela from Market Publique and snapped a quick pic. You MUST check out her site! A couple of my fave pieces are this, this and this.
Quick post before I lock my self in my apt this weekend to do a massive spring cleaning,make some new pieces for Ludlow and escape the “blizzard” this weekend(I am from Wisco so my blizzard standards are much different then NYers).
Above is my fave lady, Lizzy, and I at a showroom opening for Red Light PR. We drank way too much wine, chatted up some very interesting folks,and I got wear my little floral dress, all and all a stellar night.

Last night I went to great DIY event at Bloomingdale’s for Helmut Lang,
run by Erica from the blog p.s. I made this.
Everyone got down and dirty, hole punching leather,
knotting scarfs, braiding denim…and sipping champagne.
I am wearing my creation up top with Erica,
who comes up with AMAZING DIY projects for her blog!
You def should check out this Proenza look-a-like
she made for WhoWhatWear.
After getting wait listed for every pair of Jeffery Campbell shoes on Gilt today, I decided to peruse Piperlime for warm weather oxfords, and was stoked to see a handful of affordable shoes and a couple lust worthy pairs.
I love the idea of pairing these with a lovely floral dress on a sunny day…siiigh…daydream…
1. Chelsea Crew Holland $65.00
2. Belle by Sigerson Morrison $220.00
3. Moschino Cheap & Chic Henry $300.00
4. Steven by Steve Madden Melin $99.00
5. Boutique 9 Ronnie 2 $99.00
I was the odd man out today, as the look de jour was horizontal stripes. But I must say, I dug my vertical version. When I thrifted this shirt in Florida, I was a tad concerned that it may be overwhelming. Adding a vest and some chunky gold jewelry broke up the stripes and steered the look away from jailbird.
Anyone else deep in the winter blues (see sad/upset/awkward face in pic two). I need a serious PICK ME UP. Maybe some retail therapy? New oxford shoes? A floral dress?
What spring trends are you all looking forward to? And what should I purchase ASAP?
