Hello GLAM Ladies......... We are very exited about what is in your store this week! check it out

Copy or Coincidence???

Its amazing on our travel hunting for gems how many vintage pieces look or are similar to modern designer pieces. Just take a look at our  Saks Fifth Ave 8o's dress compared with the Balenciaga dress from Fall 2008 collection. When we found this dress I was so excited, (wanted to wear it straight away) because I love the Balenciaga version.  Granted our version has gold buttons and sleeves, and is not as sculptured but the resemblance is there, and once I remove the sleeves its gonna look even HOTTER!!! We'll be showing it soon, just as soon as I finish the million other pieces to be altered. Lol!! 

We all know that fashion is borrowed from the past, and studying at London College of Fashion the past was very important as a source of inspiration. But we were always encouraged to take elements from a piece not the whole piece which we find time and time again.

So you be the judge a blatant copy or coincidence?!!!

Our Obsession "OPEN BACK"

Like we mentioned before we love open backs..... we alter a lot of time pieces to create an open back, next week when I am back in NY I will show you guys my baby, my dress, a dress in which I "opened" the back. I got so inspired after I watching Sara Jessica Parker in the Sex In The City Movie, wearing a pink dress with open back,  while she is shopping and calling Samantha to tell her she is getting married...lol!!! If you still don't know what I am talking about I will show the "my dress" next week. All the dresses and jumper will be in our STORE in 2day's. Don't miss out on our custom made one of a kind pieces.....

LA goodies

We found this great Japanese piece from the 70's, it's even hand painted. I don't think it needs altering as I think its fantastic as is, and we don't want to loose any of the flower detail,  but you never know with Jazz, Lol. 



I love the fit of this cute CUTE little blue dress, I absolutely don't like the white embroidery trim. I think I would like to see it with some studs.... I love studs, I was so in love with the Gucci collection from fall 2008 the studded boots and bags.It  was and still is so HOT!!! I was hoping that in Rome the sale would make them more affordable... NOT!!  I have this thing, I can not spend more then one months rent on shoes or bags,  so the Gucci shoes are still not in my closet! (: To make a long story short the studs will give the dress a edgier look, the dress looks TOO girly cute now!  We'll keep you posted and in a couple of weeks we can show you the end result.

Checking out the vintage LA scene

Used & Abused is in LA!!!!

We were at this POTLUCK party last Night, Never heard of that before, but I love the meaning of it, I know that all Americans know that it means but for me this was a hole new experience. For the ppl that don't know what it means....just like me, it is a gathering were you invite friends and everybody brings a POT full of home cooked food! it's symbolic for a pot full of LUCK! I think it's a great Idea for a recession proof Party fun times... and you don't need to say we go Dutch! lol Potluck sounds so much better. The ppl who invited us had a great house I wanted to share with you guy's this crazy tepee tent, I have never been in one before and for a NY/Amsterdam city Girl, A garden like this is heaven with a tepee tent were you can chill crazy, It would be great for a shoot.
