LOVIN? IT: Candlesticks as Bracelet Holders
2011-12-01 19:30:00 I spied this clever and decorative organizing idea in a 2005 issue of House & Garden magazine and I’m lovin’ the quirky combination of bracelets + candlestick. It’s a fine way to display two of my favorite types of vintage objects at the same time and squeeze more style bang from my buck. And that makes it an idea I just had to share with Vintage Crusaders! … More About: Bracelet

2011-11-30 17:54:00 Right around now is when parents start pulling out a pretty strong behavior card: Santa’s Naughty and Nice list. Think about it. You don’t hear parents out in public with unruly kids in June sternly admonishing them, “Behave! You don’t want to end up on Santa’s Naughty List or he won’t bring you any presents!” But it’s a common occurrence during these last few weeks before Christmas.

VPOD: Vintage 1970s Halter Dress and Rethinking Leftovers
2011-11-26 18:40:00 Leftovers again?! I clearly remember how my sister and I would whine about leftovers when we were growing up because not a morsel of food was ever wasted in our house! And I thought this weekend after Thanksgiving might be a fine time to re-think leftovers from a more mature point of view. According to WastedFood, Americans waste as much as half the food produced each year. That’s… More About: Vintage , Dress , Halter

VPOD: Vintage Art Deco Diamond Cornucopia Brooch and Food Drives
2011-11-23 18:15:00 Both of my parents were the children of coal miners and grew up quite poor in northeastern Pennsylvania. I remember my mother always praising and supporting the Salvation Army because without the food baskets this organization delivered to her family’s doorstep, she and her brother wouldn’t have experienced any type of Thanksgiving abundance. So I was very interested in a recent LA Times editorial by John Arnold… More About: Food , Vintage , Pins

VPOD: Yves Saint Laurent Y-Mail Wallet and Google Wallet
2011-11-21 18:50:00 While I was traveling two weeks ago, I got a call from Chase to tell me that my debit card has been compromised and they were monitoring my account for suspicious transactions. This meant they were also placing pretty strict limits on my daily ATM and transaction limits. An inconvenience? Sure. But not a disaster. Still, as I activated my replacement debit card on Saturday and… More About: Google , Mail , Accessories

VPOD: Vintage 1950s Satin Pumps, Ruby Slippers and The Wizard of Oz
2011-11-19 17:14:00 One of the greatest thrills of my childhood was being cast as Dorothy in a local production of The Wizard of Oz. I can’t remember exactly how old I was but I do remember the thrill of slipping on those ruby red slippers. And while the stylist in me wouldn’t think of pairing sequin shoes with a gingham pinafore, somehow Dorothy pulled off the look… More About: Shoes , Ruby , Vintage , Pumps , Satin

2011-11-16 16:59:00 My daughter is invited to a Friendsgiving dinner this weekend. It’s a get-together celebrated annually with her friends in Chicago before they all journey to various corners of the United States to spend the actual Thanksgiving holiday with their families. Now, since I’m a vegetarian, the conventional menu for Thanksgiving doesn’t appeal to my taste buds. But I’m not too fond of the idea of taking… More About: Vintage , Blazer

2011-11-15 17:29:00 While on my way to LAX on Friday to catch a flight to Santa Clara for the first Experts Industry Association Conference, I witnessed the most extraordinary sight.

VPOD: Vintage Lilli Ann Velvet Cocktail Dress and Picture Perfect Style
2011-11-09 17:36:00 My daughter recently sent me some of her travel pics—she’s quite a talented amateur photographer. And this got me thinking about cameras and picture perfect style. It used to be that to take great pictures, you had to understand things like lenses and apertures and shutter speeds. Then automatic cameras came along that could make all the proper adjustments so that, most of the time, your… More About: Picture , Style , Vintage , Dress , Cocktail

2011-11-08 17:20:00 I’m baaaack! I know I seemed to drop of the planet for a few days. I left LA last Wednesday to attend a seminar near San Francisco.

VPOD: Vintage 1970s Suede Skirt and Being On the Fringe
2011-10-31 22:03:00 When we talk about someone who’s “on the fringe,” we’re referring to someone far out there near the very edge, on the periphery. Maybe they’re on the fringe of a personal breakthrough, on the fringe of stardom, on the fringe of madness, or on the fringe of a world-changing idea or scientific discovery. But being on the fringe can be a very lonely, scary and uncomfortable… More About: Vintage , Skirt , Skirts , Fringe , Separates
