Back To My Roots

We just can’t get away from fashion (and who wants to?)! As a recovering fashionista, I feel fashion helps us express who we are. Living in New York, we are surrounded by inspiration! Case in point: this weekend was the Manhattan Vintage Clothing Show at the Metropolitan Pavillion.

I took my 13 year-old daughter in the hopes that it would pique her curiosity and inspire her creative soul. Alas, she may have been too young to fully appreciate the “newness” in the old! I, on the other hand, got lost in it! I love collecting antique jewelry and vintage clothes. I’ll always find something different and unique and of course…I love the hunt!

How fabulous are these LBDs (Little Black Dresses)? I’d love to wear any one of them.

I thought the black and white dresses in the front were fabulous. Perfect for when you want to stand out in a crowd!





If only I’d known! I, too enjoy the hunt, used to own a vintage clothing store in the early 90’s. Yet another testimony to fine craftsmanship & good design, even in a garment, always withstands the test of time. If ever in New Haven, CT, look for my friends Todd & Kara at Fashionista Boutique on Whitney Ave. & be pleasantly surprised!
Thanks so much for commenting, Lisa! I wish you still had your store, I would have been happy to come in and support you! In the meantime, I’ll be sure to check out your friends’ store when I am in the area. Happy hunting!
