Sunday Sunrises: "Don't Let The Pit Bull Bite You!"

Sunrise at the Belmont Plateau is the most beautiful view of the Philadelphia skyline.

BCBG Max Azria sweater, vintage black Coach purse, an assortment of silver bangles, black skinny jeans, slouchy black boots, and thrifted round sunglasses

The inspiration for this outfit comes fromTsumori Chisato Fall 2010 poncho look. The collection was filled with mismatched prints, and bold colors- polar opposite of the Chloe collection I so much adore.  But how could one resist clothes that are this much fun!

WAWA! It's like 7-11 but classy. If you're ever in Pennsylvania you must find one!

This is the point where my mother shouts to the couple under the tree "Don't let the pit bull bite you!" It was a desperate attempt to make them move out of our picture! Needless to say it was a failed attempt. There were no dogs in sight. But we did succeed in looking absolutely crazy!

Treasure Hunting

Every other Saturday morning I go treasure hunting. Thrifting is the most exciting shopping that exists. You never know what you'll find. It takes patience and a good eye. Here is what I found yesterday morning.

 

  

1. Short fur coat from the 40's 

(Jeanette, the lovely woman who volunteers at the thrift store talked me into buying the fur. I tried it on just for kicks and giggles with no intention on buying it but Jeanette convinced me that I looked like a movie star. She said that it was only $5 so who cares if I get drowned in paint by animal right activists. She had a point and since there was no mirror in the shop I took her word on the whole movie star bit. When I got home I looked in the mirror and was shocked to see that I looked like a cross between a pimp and a linebacker. Touche, Jeanette on your adept sales abilities.)

2. 100% Pure wool brown floppy hat

2. Vintage Z.Cavaricci dark grean tied-dyed jeans from the 80's 

3. Gold bracelet

Nude All Over

 I think we can all agree that Chloe's Fall 2010 Collection was beyond chic. Each look was incredibly elegant, warm, and beautifully effortless. I could see myself wearing each and every one of these pieces.

This past fall I had the privilege of returning to Oscar de la Renta (where I interned for three months this past spring) to help out for the Fall 2011 show.  My first day back the outfit I wore was 100% inspired by Chloe's fall show. 

1. Thrifted printed silk blouse

2. Express cropped linen pants

3. Dolce Vita Clogs

I know the picture quality kind of stinks and I look like a zombie but it was 5:30 in the morning and I was running out the door to catch my bus from Philly to New York. I asked my Mommacita to take a quick snap of the look just in case I took another hack at the whole blog thing. Anywhos, all the boys at Oscar adored the outfit!

Vintage Vendredi

There is nothing I love more than looking at vintage photos. I was attempting to clean my room yesterday when I got distracted by an old family photo album. Here are just a few of the treasures I found.
