VPOD: Raise the Volume
2007-08-08 15:45:00
A structured dress with a hint of fullness in the skirt or the sleeves seems to be on the Fall 2007 Must-Have List in every major fashion magazine. Of course, pulling off this look requires excellent tailoring and design so the best examples carry labels like Galliano for Dior, Lanvin and Louis Vuitton. You can, however, find vintage alternatives to the modern dresses that walked down the fall runways. You're looking for soft volume in a structured shape--like in today's VPOD.This vintage 1970s dress by Roger Milot for Fred Perlberg is stunning with its rich and vibrant paisley wool. The full skirt has large pleats and there's sequin detail on the long sleeves.It's a runway-worthy find for a vintage fashionista!Available at Mary Moore Vintage.(To receive the VPOD via email with detailed size, price and purchase information, sign up for my growing email mailing list.

VPOD: Boot-ing Up
2007-08-07 16:17:00
It isn't quite time to pack up the sandals yet, but it is time to maybe start thinking about your fall purchases. And if you only have room in your budget for one piece of footwear this season, then consider an ankle boot. Something like today's VPOD perhaps?Yes, the ankle boot is back and I just love this utilitarian piece. Sooo comfy with pants and yet so fashionable with some textured tights when you decide to wear a skirt or dress instead.These vintage brown ankle boots are by Xavier Denaud and feature a high--make that very high--four-inch heel. They'll look awesome with jeans, a fall sweater dress, a little plaid skirt and so much more. So maybe they're not utilitarian enough for an ice storm or blizzard but that still leaves lots of days in between for these boots to do some walking.They're the perfect footwear for a vintage fashionista!Available at Archive Vintage.(To receive the VPOD via email with detailed size, price and purchase information, sign up for my grow...

VPOD: A Pretty Peplum
2007-08-06 16:39:00
A fashion designer I met at a recent wedding has been interviewing for jobs all over LA and of course, our conversation turned to Spring 2008. What can we look forward to? One thing she mentioned was that we'd see flaired waists and peplums again. So...maybe we will and maybe we won't but you can choose to take fashion into your own hands and create your own waist-oriented looks with this fabulous vintage belt.Pure 1980s, it features black polka dots and a flirty peplum cut with an enamel buckle. It's a great little addition to a clingy black dress or white leggings, adding a playful element that says you don't take yourself too seriously.It's a fun little find for a vintage fashionista!Available at Enoki World.(To receive the VPOD via email with detailed size, price and purchase information, sign up for my growing email mailing list.

VPOD: Hail Halston
2007-08-03 16:10:00
Roy Halston Frowick was born in Des Moines, Iowa and raised in Evanston, Indiana--not the hubs of the fashion world by any means--yet somehow he went on to build a fashion empire. And though it might have spiraled a bit out of control in the later years, when his name was licensed and found on just about everything it seemed, he remains on the list of masterful American fashion designers.Today's VPOD expresses Halston's beautiful draping ability and his sense of minimalism that inspires the wearer to add her own personal style to the outfit. Tie on a fox scarf, drape that dangling pendant neklace, layer a silk turtleneck underneath--just not all at the same time please! It's a welcoming palette for a vintage fashionista!Available at Revival Boutique.(To receive the VPOD via email with detailed size, price and purchase information, sign up for my growing email mailing list.

VPOD: Gucci Gal
2007-08-02 15:55:00
Warning: There are plenty of counterfeit designer handbags out there! Usually created in the most popular styles, some of them can be really great copies--hardly distinguishable from the real thing at first glance and sometimes even at a second or third glance. But you'll never find me carrying one!No, I'm not a snob. There are lots of legitimate reasons not to succumb to the temptation of a fake Fendi on your arm. Here are my top three:1. The sale of counterfeits has been linked to terrorism and organized crime.2. The holders of copyrights, trademarks and patents should receive the profits owed to them for their work rather than criminals. 3. Counterfeits cost Americans jobs. (And often their work is replaced by sweatshop or even forced child labor.)So as a consumer how do you protect yourself?First and foremost, buy from reputable sellers! Today's VPOD features a fabulous 1970s Gucci satchel that was recreated by Tom Ford as part of his "custom line" of vintage Gucci han...

VPOD: I Dream of Pucci
2007-08-01 15:54:00
There are certainly more coveted labels if you plan to sell your vintage collection at an auction house someday (Fortuny, Poiret and Worth come to mind), but when it comes to contemporary vintage--those treasured items that we wear out in the world to work and to play--Pucci is still one of the most-popular labels. And there are plenty of Puccis to choose from although some--like today's VPOD--just take your breath away.Talk about being ahead of your time! This beautiful fitted velvet jacket was designed in the 1960s and still retains all of its eye-catching charm. I love the black! Somehow it just offsets the pink and watermelon swirls perfectly and gives a girl like me a whole new way to spice up my closet of little black dresses, long black skirts, short black skirts, black shorts, black leggings, black wool pants, black leather pants...you get the idea.It's an ultra-chic find for a vintage fashionista!Available at Posh Vintage.(To receive the VPOD via email with detailed s...

I'm a member of a special little Chai n Gang --no, not the type you see on the highways in orange jumpsuits near jails--I'm referring to those of us who adore Hermes and the often-seen chains in Hermes prints.This 1970s silk jersey Hermes is the creme de la creme.

VPOD: Seasonless Skirt

I noticed there were Back-to-School ads in last Sunday's newspaper already--a timely reminder that these hot summer days won't last forever. Now that I live in Los Angeles, the "changing of the closets" isn't quite the chore it was when I lived in Ohio, but there is still a change of seasons, even out here. Of course, some items, like today's VPOD, are able to do double duty and can stay in your closet from July through October.I just love the deep rich earthy tones on this darling vintage skirt. In sandal weather, you can top it with a tank and a wide belt and come cooler temps, add brown tights and a navy blue sweater (or blue tights and a brown sweater for that matter!)And the best news is that all this versatility comes at a true thrift-store price.It's a no-guilt treat for a vintage fashionista!Available at Parish Vintage.(To receive the VPOD via email with detailed size, price and purchase information, sign up for my growing email mailing list.

VPOD: Seeing Stripes
2007-07-25 16:04:00
I was at a private estate sale last evening and noticed a rack of beautiful fur coats, many of them spotted and striped fur from currently endangered species. Just wanted to remind everyone that in general, it is illegal to buy or sell garments made from endangered species even if they are considered old, used or vintage. The laws related to this can get quite complicated. While there are some exceptions for vintage items with proof of age, some state laws trump the federal law in strictness. The best rule of thumb is just don't do it! If you get caught, you could be punished with five years in prison and a $250,000 fine--double that if you're a business. No reputable furriers deal in endangered species and you shouldn't either--although it is perfectly fine to get that old leopard, ocelot, tiger or monkey coat restyled into a more contemporary look.And keep in mind that you can get the fashionable look of animal prints without even wearing fur. Take a look at today's VPOD....

VPOD: Go With Green

Today I just want to remind everyone that you can build a fabulous vintage wardrobe without spending a fortune or amassing a closetful full of designer names. Because so many women in previous decades made their own clothes or had their clothes made for them by talented dressmakers, there are fabulous vintage items just waiting for new homes.Take today's VPOD for instance. Its Asian label is certainly not being coveted and bid up by the likes of Pucci collectors on eBay, but it is fabulous! The deep emerald green is set off with brown cuffs and a little tie belt.

VPOD: The Art of Aldrich
2007-07-09 15:32:00
Sometimes it's the littlest decision that can change the direction of our lives. For Larry Aldrich, this happened the summer before he was to attend Columbia University and study law. He took a summer job as a salesman for a local dress manufacturer and within two years had created his own fashion firm. But even this was just a stepping stone as he dedicated the better part of his life to collecting and promoting art and eventually founded the first museum in the country to devote itself entirely to contemporary art. This museum, The A ldrich Museum of Contemporary Art, opened to the public in 1964. Larry Aldrich always fostered a deep appreciation for beauty and one can see it in his fashion as well. Today's VPOD features a stunning sapphire blue ensemble he designed in the 1950s. The 3/4-length sleeves and patch pockets keep it from being too stuffy. The dress and jacket work well independent of each other and the pink rhinestone buttons add charm.It's a gorgeous find for ...
