Three's a Trend: Kanye West
All too often we think of fashion as being disposable. So, it is refreshing to see a celebrity re-wear a piece within a couple of weeks. Kanye West gave fresh life to a classic jean jacket three different times during New York's and London's fashion week. Proving that a classic item can be a building block of a wardrobe.

Fresh for '88 - You Suckas!
Salt-n-Pepa circa 1980s
Chanel Bomber
Santogold in Gucci Sweats
Door Knocker Earrings
I am having a love affair with vintage hip-hop gear right now. I visited an antique mall and found a circa 1980's silver nugget "$" sign ring. Since then, I am on the look out for door knocker earrings, track suits / sweat shirts, and five finger rings. Salt-n-Pepa epitomize this late 80's look for women. Currently, Santogold and M.I.A. are reviving this style.

Fall 2008 Trend: Sculpted Blue Dress
Calvin Klein Fall 2008
On the Street
Vintage Nicole Miller
The Fall 2008 season has a wonderful mix of trends including the return to elegance, rich jewel tones, and the introduction of sculptural dress shapes. The dresses above hit all three of the trends at once. Calvin Klein featured sculpted minimalism with strong lines and crisp silhouettes. On the street we see this trend continue with a notched neckline and clean shape. The vintage Nicole Miller dress has the shape, color, and elegance to be right in line with the current looks.

Feminine Plaids
On the Runway - Veronique Branquinho S08
On the street
Vintage Version
Here's a look at three different takes on ruffled plaid shirts. I think these shirts look best with a slim/skinny jean. Since the shirt has ruffles and puff sleeves - there's no need for a lot of addditonal ornamentation.

Recreate with Vintage
pic via the sartorialist
Even though this outfit is not vintage - I still love it. I think it is a good look that can be recreated with vintage/thrift finds. Visit the men's section and find the perfect pair of roomy denim jeans. Then, cut them to the appropriate length and your done. (As a side note: I am partial to this length - any shorter and it can hit in the awkward thigh area, and any shorter than that - you'll look like daisy duke.)

I couldn't help but post more pictures from the Rose Bowl Flea Market. These four ladies are a little more eclectic and bohemian than the first set. Picture number 3 is my favorite.
Vintage at the Rose Bowl Flea Market
First, let me say that I love the Rose Bowl Flea Market. Just looking at these pictures made me wish that I was there. Each of these lovely ladies are the epitome of summer style. They each have a relaxed look that is slightly crumpled and not overdone. Plus - they are wearing vintage!
