It's hard to part with anything beautiful! But I am cleaning out my closets and everything must go. By the end of this week my vintage finds will have found their way onto the racks of a new home. C'est la vie.
Model is Missy Strong. Photographer- Darren D'Altorio.
This one I like the most, everything about it is amazing. The beading is truly something to be appreciated. There is so much adventure behind this picture. We shot in an abandoned house in the middle of nowhere, on a sunny afternoon in Ohio. I'm not one for jumping fences so thank god the worst part was crawling through the window.......come to think of it... I'm not sure I ever did try the front door.

Its rainy and beautiful in LA today... I've been waiting for this kind of weather! I hope that it sticks around for a few days. Each raindrop brings a small dose of creativity and inspiration to my doorstep.
My dear friend left these geek-chic glasses on accident and I haven't let them out of my sight since ( no pun intended :). I fought the trend for quite sometime... but honestly... I LOVE THEM.
Beat up kicks. Vintage dress. Aviators... and an optimistic attitude.
The first photoshoot for The Vintage Vine.
Its quite terrifying to put yourself out there and share your passion with the world. This shoot
marks the beginning of exposing what holds dear to my heart: Vintage.
“There is one great truth on this
planet: whoever you are, or whatever it is that you do, when you really
want something, it’s because that desire originated in the soul of the
universe. It’s your mission on earth.”
With fall approaching its essential to re-purpose and get creative. It's all about layering. Tis' the season of jackets, sweaters, scarves, hats, and boots!!! Of course we all want to run off and shop for layers...but a rummage through your closet may be all you need! Here is a sneak of what to do with a long dress.
On left: Saks Fifth Avenue jacket, Steve Madden Shoes, Vintage accessories. Right: BDG Sweater, Vintage jewelry, and thrifted shoes. Dress- gifted (vintage).
