VPOD: In a Clutch
2008-10-08 16:34:00
Open any home decorating magazine and you'll find some article talking about the mixing of textures. Different textures help to give a room depth and also help satisfy our tactile natures as human beings.Well, mixing textures in fashion is just as important. And the designer of today's VPOD accomplished the task beautifully.This vintage clutch by Vittorio Arnio mixes leather, shiny black patent leather and suede in an oh-so-chic bag that's big enough to carry your essentials without throwing out your back.It's one stylish find for a vintage fashionista!Available at Modify.

VPOD: Lady in Lace
2008-10-07 15:58:00
Isaac Mizrahi once described Norman Norell's designs to Vogue magazine as "simply the most glamorous clothes said in the fewest words."One glance at today's VPOD and you know exactly why he was raving. This 1960s dress by Norman Norell features gorgeous lace over pink dupioni silk with a smashing pink sash. It's breathtakingly feminine and oh-so-pretty.

VPOD: James Galanos American Luxury
2008-10-03 16:05:00
With the fashion industry so focused on the outside, it's good to remember that it's what's on the inside that counts. No matter how beautiful a woman may appear to the eye, if she is nasty or mean-spirited her beauty will diminish the minute she opens her mouth. And James Galanos knew that what was on the inside counted, too. He established a reputation for creating garments whose insides were just as meticulously finished and beautiful as their outsides.Today's VPOD, a 1980s wool dress, is a fine example of his excellent tailoring and is available for a stylish fashionista to call her own. But more than 120 other Galanos masterpieces are available as eye candy at Kent State University's exhibit, James Galanos American Luxury , which runs until March 1, 2009 on the university campus. If you're in my old stomping grounds of northeast Ohio, be sure to visit.It's a Galanos treat for a vintage fashionista!Available at Frock Vintage NYC.For more information on the exhibit, clic...

VPOD: 30s Rock
2008-10-02 16:52:00
I was watching The Rachel Zoe Project last night and Rachel was talking about her two great loves: (1) her husband, Roger, and (2) the fashion world. And that got me to thinking about love and fashion.Have you ever noticed that finding the perfect dress and finding the perfect man have a lot in common? While each task requires you to be proactive (dresses and men don't generally fling themselves at your door!), no matter how systematic your approach, there will always be an element of fate or luck in the process that you can't control.And why is it that oftentimes the dress or the man that makes you lose your head is wildly inappropriate while the dress that looks great on the rack or the man who looks great on paper ends up being a huge disappointment?And who can explain that element of chemistry that makes your heart beat and your stomach flutter to tell you when you've found the one?Unfortunately, I can't point you to your perfect match in the romance department but I did fi...

VPOD: Shell It Out
2008-10-01 15:20:00
Believe it or not, there are still a whole lot of women who believe that vintage = mothball-scented grandma sweaters + frumpy housedresses. Au contraire! Sure there are loads of these types of items living in thrift shops throughout the country, but there are also little gems like today's VPOD hidden away.This little sweater shell has beads and sequins galore but looks tres chic with skinny jeans--not at all frumpy or old-fashioned. This one is missing a bead or sequin here and there. But with a price tag under $35, you'll never miss them! (And no one will wonder if it's a vintage-inspired knockoff--they'll know it's the real deal.)It's a chic (and inexpensive) find for a vintage fashionista!Available at Ikonic Vintage.(To receive the VPOD via email with detailed size, price and purchase information, sign up for my growing email mailing list here.

VPOD: Knit Picker
2008-09-30 16:39:00
Cashmere is known as the "diamond fiber" in China and could be this vintage fashionista's favorite eco-fabric. After all, quality cashmere garments can last forever with little to no pilling. They can be hand-washed requiring no chemical-heavy dry-cleaning. Plus they are about eight times warmer than wool and don't wrinkle. But......China's increased production of cashmere to meet our needs in the West is having a huge detrimental effect on its land, air and water. Not to mention the deplorable conditions for the darling goats who offer up their fur for your toasty cardigan sweater.As with so many fashion choices, choosing vintage cashmere not only benefits our environment but can offer a one-of-a-kind look that differentiates from the thousands of ho-hum cashmere sweaters sold by big-box retailers every year.Consider today's VPOD. This charming 1960s vintage cashmere sweater by Pringle would look smashing for the office with a skinny little belt, a white shirt, a pencil ski...

I just returned from the northeast where the autumn leaves are beginning their annual display of fall splendor. Of course, with today's VPOD, there's a way to bring this beautiful change of seasons to any part of the country.This 1960s vintage black cotton skirt with felt leaves is oh-so-charming and screams "It's Autumn!" loud and clear.

VPOD: Biker Chic
2008-09-16 16:50:00
They're #4 on Elle Magazine's list of Fall Must-Haves and the good news is that you don't have to own or operate a motorcycle to join in the fun. Yes, motorcross jackets are all the rage this season--good news for vintage fashionistas since there's no better way to get an authentic lived-in look that to find a jacket that has actually been peppered by pebbles from the road. Of course, not all of these jackets are distressed, some are quite slick and shiny--like today's VPOD.This 1980s version by Moschino glitters with little square mirrors and a crystal drop zipper pull.It's true biker chic for a vintage fashionista!Available at live auction from Leslie Hindman auctioneers.(To receive the VPOD via email with detailed size, price and purchase information, sign up for my growing email mailing list here.

VPOD: Arbiters of Style
2008-09-15 17:45:00
Women have always played a significant role in fashion and The Museum at FIT is celebrating their contributions in a special exhibit, Arbiters of Style : Women at the Forefront of Fashion. The show runs through November 8 and features over seventy looks from influential female designers as well as fashion leaders like Diane Vreeland, fashion executive Rose Marie Bravo, photographer Louise Dahl Wolf and Lauren Bacall.These arbiters of style--though often not well-known by the general public--have influenced and shaped fashion for over 250 years as revealed in the exhibition's selected garments from the eighteenth century to today.If you're in NYC, be sure to visit the museum in person. If you won't be visiting the Big Apple anytime soon, the museum's online exhibit is the next best thing. It's a fascinating journey for a vintage fashionista!Photo Credit: Irving Salero/The Museum at FIT(To receive the VPOD via email with detailed size, price and purchase information, sign up for...

VPOD: Chanel on Lifetime
2008-09-12 15:54:00
Millions of women have been inspired by Coco Chanel and her timeless designs as well as by her own sense of personal style. And you can watch her rags-to-riches story in an original three-hour Lifetime movie airing this Saturday at 8 pm. Tune in or set the DVR to follow her humble beginnings through her rise to fame. The Chanel brand, of course, is still strong with a totally distinctive look and feel. Just check out today's VPOD.The bold black-and-red color combination of this vintage Chanel blouse from the 1980s is softened by its luscious lightweight silk fabric and that little pussy bow.It's a ladylike find for a vintage fashionista!Available at Claire Incorruptible.(To receive the VPOD via email with detailed size, price and purchase information, sign up for my growing email mailing list here.

VPOD: A Chic Shawl
2008-04-18 16:19:00
I adore handcrafted items--anything embroidered, hand-beaded or crocheted. I can't help but think about the hours upon hours of labor that are invested in the piece. And I'm so happy and proud to be able to wear that labor decades later for all to see. Today's VPOD is an exquisite example of handcrafting that is guaranteed to turn heads. Why choose an evening coat when you can throw this masterpiece over your shoulders! This hand-embroidered piano shawl dates from the early part of the 19th century. Oh, the colors! Garnet, ruby, tangerine, amethyst, midnight blue, the most delicate pink and more. The thick silk embroidery floss covers every inch of the black silk shawl. And the detail on the fringe is simply amazing!It's a very rare, one-of-a-kind find for a vintage fashionista!Available at Heaven of Gowns.(To receive the VPOD via email with detailed size, price and purchase information, sign up for my growing email mailing list here.

VPOD: Make a Statement
2008-04-17 16:25:00
Make a statement with something big, bold and beautiful. Everyone should have at least one statement piece--you know, that necklace that completely upstages the dress or blouse. And I'm not talking diamonds and rubies here. No, the statement pieces I'm referring to are usually costume and quite often, ethnic.Just like today's VPOD. This 1960s enamel bib necklace isn't made by a famous designer although it packs some great color and design and then delivers it with a whopping punch. Just perfect with this season's caftans.It's a bold statement for a vintage fashionista!Available at Kakkoii Mono.(To receive the VPOD via email with detailed size, price and purchase information, sign up for my growing email mailing list here.

VPOD: Got It? Flaunt It!
2008-04-16 15:56:00
So I caught a bit of The Millionaire Matchmaker the other evening and realized there is some value to reality television. The series follows a matchmaker who fixes up millionaire men with suitable women. And the proprietress, Patti, offered some good advice for any woman, single or attached: If you've got it, flaunt it! If you've got great shoulders, show them off. If you have great feet, make sure they're pedicured. If you've got great legs...well then strut your stuff in today's VPOD.This 1970s mini caftan was born for a long-legged beauty and its bright floral print is cheery and oh-so-right for Spring.

Anyone remember Frito-Lay's slogan for its potato chips? That's right: "RRRuffles have Ridges." But with just a little tweaking it becomes "RRRuffles have STYLE!"After all, ruffles have been a staple throughout fashion history from the ruffled Elizabethan collars that displayed one's status in society right through the multitude of looks in this fall's runway shows.Today's VPOD features a chic little ruffled 1960s jacket/top/blouse--take your pick!

VPOD: The Big Chill
2008-04-14 16:20:00
It may have been sweltering in Los Angeles this past weekend, but I felt as if I was in the Arctic Circle. Why? Because I was holed up at an Internet Conference working on plans for the new Zuburbia.com vintage boutique. And, well, can someone please tell me why we're smart enough to send men and women to the International Space Station but not smart enough to keep a hotel room's temperature at a steady 72 degrees!So while tourists were sweltering at Disneyland just a block away, I battled through chattering teeth and monster goose bumps. I would have given anything for a warm and cozy coat like today's VPOD. And now's the time to grab these beauties, ladies--while everyone else is thinking of swimsuits. The vibrant color and the luscious fur trim on this one make for an especially eye-catching combination. And what a thrill to re-discover it in your closet next fall.It's a fabulous off-season find for a vintage fashionista!Available at Shrimpton Couture.P.S. Shrimpton Co...

VPOD: Get Your Wilma On
2008-04-10 15:51:00
This season's runways were packed with asymmetrical, one-shoulder dresses making the oft-forgotten shoulder the body part to bare this spring and summer. And while most designers attribute their inspiration for these designs to the Greek toga, one has to wonder if a little lady by the name of Wilma Flintstone, hailing from the Stone Age town of Bedrock and sporting a simple one-shoulder mini, didn't act as a muse as well. Today's VPOD is a vintage version of the current fashion trend designed by Mary McFadden in the 1980s. Fortuny-style pleats drape oh-so-elegantly in classic muted tones of peach and taupe. Just keep accessories to a minimum--earrings and bracelets will usually work better with this style than necklaces. It's a "yabbadabbadoo" find for a vintage fashionista!Available at C.

Oh-la-la! This stunning Chanel dress epitomizes Parisian chic!Yards and yards of navy lace, with just a touch of gray and purple on the bottom ruffles. Boning in all the right places. Tulle underlayer to create structure and movement. This is classic design at its best--made in 1958 yet fresh enough to wear tonight.By the way, this same dress, but in black, was featured in the Victoria & Albert exhibition. And while black would be totally dramatic, I prefer the frivolity suggested by the blue, don't you?It's a charming masterpiece for a vintage fashionista!Available at Frock Vintage NYC.(To receive the VPOD via email with detailed size, price and purchase information, sign up for my growing email mailing list here.

VPOD: D is for Dior
2008-04-08 15:55:00
During the winter, I tend to carry a B-I-G tote bag--one that can hold a scarf and gloves and other paraphernalia. But come Spring, it's time to lighten up. I mean, in a pinch, a girl can get by with just a lipstick, a credit card, and a cell phone, right? Who needs a big, heavy bag loaded with stuff to slow you down? Give your shoulders a break and check out today's VPOD. This little 1980s Christian Dior screams "It's Spring!" loud and clear. Yes, that's pastel python snake skin--totally unique and simply gorgeous! Collapse the handle and carry it as a clutch.

This vintage number is created out of strips of cream leather and cropped to just the right length. Then a talented artisan added snakeskin appliques of daffodils and a butterfly.

VPOD: A Trigere to Treasure
2008-04-04 06:25:00
In one interview, Pauline Trigere talked about how she could have been an architect or even a surgeon, but that she didn't think she would have enjoyed anything but designing collection after collection. And oh her collections! She began her business in 1942 and officially retired when she was 85 with work that has been compared to that of Balenciaga and Vionnet.Fabric was both inspiration and guide to Pauline Trigere, and she was especially known for the exquisite tailoring in her suits and coats. Today's VPOD is a perfect example of that craftsmanship.This 1960s ensemble features a coat in gray wool tweed with fox cuffs, a matching sleeveless sheath and a fox hat.It's a striking and exquisite find for a vintage fashionista!Available at Woodland Farms Antiques.(To receive the VPOD via email with detailed size, price and purchase information, sign up for my growing email mailing list here.

VPOD: Oooh La La Lilli
2008-04-02 15:15:00
If you read any of the fashion or entertainment magazines, you've seen the pics of celebrities wearing vintage. I mean, the night Angelina Jolie wore that $26 velvet dress from the Wasteland to the premiere of A Mighty Heart, more attention was given to the dress than to the subject of the film (which is perhaps a sad commentary about our priorities lately). From press coverage alone, you might think that vintage clothing comes in only one size: small enough to fit the perfect figures of Hollywood starlets. But here at Zuburbia, we hope to encourage women of all shapes and sizes to consider adding a little vintage to their wardrobe mix. And while there does seem to be a plethora of vintage choices in small sizes, there are other options out there if you devote a little time and effort to the search.Today's VPOD is one gorgeous choice. This amazing wool jacket is from the 1950s and features an hourglass shape, rhinestone broach button, and luxurious fox trim on the sleeves. D...

VPOD: Mission Missoni
2008-04-01 15:29:00
Have you heard the expression: When life gives you lemons, make lemonade? Well, that's exactly what newlyweds Otavio and Rosita Missoni did in 1953. They bought two knitting machines, set up a small knitwear shop in the basement of their home in Italy, and then discovered...uh-oh...the machines only made stripes. And so they sewed stripes and more stripes and then zig zags and then more stripes and the distinctive look of the Missoni knitwear line was born.Today's VPOD features a 1970 Missoni v-neck wool sweater in an abstract yellow, black and gray horizontal print. It's just the right weight for these still-chilly April mornings.And it's a timeless wardrobe staple for a vintage fashionista!Available at Hemlock Vintage.(To receive the VPOD via email with detailed size, price and purchase information, sign up for my growing email mailing list here.

VPOD: Pump It Up
2008-03-31 16:13:00
In yesterday's LA Times, there was an interesting article entitled Pain at the Pump ." But it wasn't talking about the rising cost of oil. No, it was detailing the rising cost of the other kind of pumps: those by Christian Louboutin, Versace and Balenciaga. Cinderella would have had a fit if she lost one of these...it seems prices have broken through the magical $1,000 mark with some Spring styles carrying price tags of $1300 and more! As Miuccia Prada said in the article: "The obsession with handbags is over. It's about shoes."So how thrilling to find today's VPOD. These vintage 1970s Givenchy peep-toe pumps are just as sexy, just as dramatic, just as glam as the new ones in stores carrying the four-digit price tags. They're cocoa patent leather on cream leather with a 4.5-inch heel and while I'm sure they're as comfy as any 4.5-inch heel can be, at least they won't be as painful on your pocketbook--these won't cost a month's rent.They're a sexy, affordable find for ...

VPOD: Jump(suit) for Joy
2008-03-27 14:18:00
In fashion, at least, there is proof of reincarnation. How else to explain the jumpsuit returning to life once again? And from my informal opinion polls, this is one polarizing piece of clothing: you either Love it (with a capital L) or Hate it (with a capital H).If you're part of the latter group, you won't be too pleased with today's VPOD selection. But if you're of the other persuasion, you can clap your hands with glee. After all, the trick is finding a jumpsuit that is both fashionable and comfortable, and this one is a clearly a winner. Designed in the 1970s by Diane von Furstenberg, it channels the ease of her iconic wrap dresses as well as their fun prints.Wide legs. A wrap waist. A sexy v-neckline. This is a trendy little find for a vintage fashionista!Available at The Urban Collection.(To receive the VPOD via email with detailed size, price and purchase information, sign up for my growing email mailing list here.

VPOD: A Victorian Treat
2008-03-26 15:40:00
As a vintage dealer, I primarily handle items from the last few decades. Although I do have an affinity for century-old clothing--and have a gorgeous black mourning dress that I will whip out of its archival box for an evening gala someday--it's so difficult to find clothes of this age in wonderful, wearable condition. Today's VPOD, however, is a notable exception.This white linen bustle coat dates from the 1880s and has a very contemporary feel with its scalloped edging, adjustable side ruching and row of brass buttons. Even more exciting is that it's a wearable size (36-27-44 to be exact) and in sturdy, wearable condition.You sassy teens and twenty-somethings can pair it with leggings; more mature gals like myself can match it with jeans for day or satin trousers for evening. It's a true Victorian treat for a vintage fashionista!Available at Vintage Textile.(To receive the VPOD via email with detailed size, price and purchase information, sign up for my growing email mail...

VPOD: Vintage of Tomorrow
2008-03-25 14:28:00
When people meet me for the first time, they inevitably expect me to be wearing head-to-toe vintage. And they are always disappointed. Seldom does head-to-toe vintage work well. Instead, I pepper my outfits with vintage: a blouse or blazer here, a cuff bracelet or vintage belt there. And while I love my super-flattering pair of Jordache jeans from the 1970s I also wear Seven for All Mankind. This weekend, I sported a pair of black-and-fire-engine-red vintage pumps with a very contemporary dress.Yet even when I buy contemporary clothes, I've got vintage on my mind: the vintage of tomorrow. I'm always asking myself, Is this something I'd like to pass on to my granddaughter someday? (And no I'm not a grandmother yet!) But it's a way to test whether I think something is timeless. And if I'm going to buy timeless, well-designed, contemporary pieces, I prefer to pay bargain prices. So I thought I'd share one of my secret sources. Gilt.com offers luxury lifestyle brands at s...

VPOD: Polo Power
2008-03-24 04:04:00
The sport of polo was first played in Persia as a training game for the military and has been called the "Game of Kings." Of course, in the fashion world, Polo is associated with Ralph Lauren. But the label on today's VPOD comes from a more unlikely source.This carefree summer frock is actually a Malia-Honolulu creation but without an ounce of Hawaiian influence. Instead, it's loaded with preppy fun-in-the-sun appeal with bold stripes and a polo pony print on kelly green cotton. Plus its price tag is designed for those of us who don't have trust funds.What a preppy polo find for a vintage fashionista!Available at Mavro Vintage.(To receive the VPOD via email with detailed size, price and purchase information, sign up for my growing email mailing list here.
