A few nights ago my mom and I took some of our favorite pieces of vintage/thrifted clothing items to style-and took pictures! On Monday my mom and I went to a Goodwill that has unsually high volume of vintage asian jackets, which sort of fit into the luxe robe look that I posted about a few posts back. I’ve been working these pieces around a Fall 07 Miu Miu skirt that I got at our Neiman’s outlet during a sale. I wish I had up-close pictures of the fabric (it’s so cool!) but I just sent it to the tailor to be taken in a little.

Thrifted satin coat, H&M tank top, Miu Miu pleated skirt, Chloe shoeboot

Here mom is wearing her sixties studded Givenchy shift. It was a great find on eBay. She wears it over Hysteric Glamour jeans with Prada heels.

This angora sweater I’m wearing was about to be trashed by my mom’s friend-it was rescued and bought to me and is now one of my favorite cold weather pieces. The angora is so luxe that it looks like a fur coat.

Worn with Miu Miu skirt, sequin tube top from UO, Margiela boots

Mom just got this vintage Chanel jacket from eBay-paired again with Hysteric Glamour jeans and Givenchy lace up heels.

Those are just a few of the things we tried on-later I hope to do another post full of my favorite vintage things-there are so many waiting to be worn in the back of my closet.

Happy Fourth of July to American readers!

You may have noticed my fanatic obsession for worn in denim (it’s always peeking out of the corners of my inspiration boards)….it’s so difficult to find vintage Levi’s for women in tiny sizes but I managed to snag this pair on eBay in my size for $20 while I was in Mexico…they’re so beautiful! They arrived in the mail today.

^(don’t mind the awful picture quality…) today I’m repeating yesterday’s ensemble a bit with a simple shirt (cotton button down from J Crew), Pradas (which thanks to some helpful readers I found are from SS06), and a See by Chloe puffer vest.

If you like these jeans you will freak out over these two looks from a spread in Doingbird magazine (issue number 13?) these pictures were scanned by Alien Sex Fiend at TFS…thanks!

Yikes, I’ve embarked on a closet cleaning project as of today…what a pain, but a necessary pain.
Flared flannel orange plaid high waisted pants….whuuuutt
where do I find these things….

I was tagged by Rosie of La Mode Vogue…to choose my seven favorite songs of summer!

1. SORRY PARTY by Tickley Feather
 ^SOMEONE NEEDS TO USE THIS SONG ON A RUNWAY SOUNDTRACK! PRONTO!

2. AVALON by Roxy Music
All time favorite album for the summer-Avalon is a great song. Reminds me of summer hangouts with your friends.

3. NEW VIOLENCE by White Williams
Hella peppy and sorta dancy-I have a huge crush on White Williams.

4. EVERYBODY DAYLIGHT by Brightblack Morning Light
Well, I would choose this whole album but I can only choose one song…sloooow and steady and kinda groovy.

5. WAITING FOR THE SUMMER by Yeasayer
Makes me happy to be alive…such a cool sound, I missed the chance to see them in Dallas recently and I was super bummed.

6. CHEREE by Suicide
Breathy sexy innocent and manic-I LOVE SUICIDE!

7. BABY by Os Mutantes
Not really typical of Os Mutantes sound but so so so summery.
