LONDON, UK
- One of my favorite little black dresses... I got this piece in Williamsburg, Brooklyn in a tiny shop off Bedford. The prices were so low, the shop owner clearly didn't know of her hidden gems!

LONDON, UK- If you've ever been to the "Sunday Up Market" on Brick Lane then you know exactly why this post is called SEE AND BE SEEN. One of my favorite Sunday hangouts, It's the true mecca of all things street style. Small booths line a industrial warehouse packed with the most unique people and things. Find anything from Art to Fashion to food from around the world. With any budget you'll never go home empty handed...
 
Inspired by Isabel Marants Fall '09 RTW show, I picked up this vintage wolf coat for £120, while the jewelry in the pictures shown went for a mere £12-£20 a piece.

Zipped


LOS ANGELES, CA- I came to L.A. this weekend for some very important business. On my drive  up I was reading the latest addition of Marie Claire US (with Ashley Olsen on the cover... whom I LOVE). I got to page 28 where they have an article on motorcycle jackets when it hit me,.. I'm missing this key piece in my wardrobe!?! I wasted no time... I got on my blackberry and found my nearest thrift store locations. I wasn't really expecting to find the perfect one, but I did!!

City of Sun

SAN DIEGO, CA- A city that always gives me mixed emotions... 
I'll be spending the next two weeks here. I know San Diego like the back of my hand which is useful when it comes to locating my great "finds." I've found some of my favorite pieces here possibly because people aren't big vintage shoppers so there's more to find. The styles so casual, most people are busy enjoying what the citys' known for... cool beaches, stunning sunsets, and  nice weather.
