For Nava-Ho's


Pretty much fell in love with these on sight. Someone buy $150 worth of clothes from me so I can own these stat.

By the way, this "Navajo Tribal" look, which is engulfing Urban Outfitters right now is something we've been touting for months. I'm wondering how long before they steal our maxi skirt-to-dress idea.


Trend-settin', bitches.

Beige, Nude, Blush Collection


Tonight is an auction night! Grab your carpal tunnel medicine and Beatle CDs because it's going to be a good one.

Tomorrow we'll be listing our Beige, Nude, Blush collection - a romantic series of vintage dresses in the most irresistible palette. The Spring-Summer 2011 runways are all over this trend, but I'm a big cohort because these colors look STUNNING on virtually everyone.

Our latest collection will include midi to maxi dresses, skirts, lots of crocheted lace, Gunne Saxe inspired blouses, and blush to mocha tones. You haven't seen the '70s revival quite like this before, and as always, every piece has been hand-selected by me.

Excited? So am I!

"Network" (1976)




"Can you believe how prescient this movie is?" my husband asked, as we watched the 1976 classic "Network."

"I know. Faye Dunaway is so in style right now."

Okay, so I have what some may call a "bad" habit of getting distracted by the vintage clothes when we watch old movies. But yesterday while watching "Network," it was impossible NOT to notice how glamorously chic Faye looked in her camel-colored wardrobe. I swear, every scene introduced a new silk blouse with poet sleeves and built-in ascot. She wore blouson tops with high-waisted skirts or pants, all in this earthy '70s palette that's so warm and inviting.

By the time she strutted down the street in a tweed and fur coat, I had to pause the movie. It was too... good. With all this style inspiration coursing through my veins, I turned to Tin Roof Vintage, one of my favorite and most reliably chic haunts. Their collection brought out the best of Faye with a modern twist.
