Denisebrain field trip 2: Vintage Fashion Expo San Francisco
Once again, I was fortunate enough to get to go to the Vintage Fashion Expo in San Francisco, March 21-22, home of the most amazing quantity and quality of vintage temptations I've ever seen! I helped my friend Anna Newman (Anna Newman Vintage and Booty Vintage on Etsy) with her booth, which was smashingly cheery! It didn't hurt that the event was being held, after a long absence, at the SF Concourse, with plenty of natural light.





Sneak peek: spring & summer fashion 2009 / 80s earrings / a lot of me

Lovely 80s earrings. Pale pink dress with sort of puffy sleeves with buttons.


The blazer's color is sth between royal blue and royal purple. The collar is V-shaped without 'flaps'. It is silk heaven!
The shirt is so light i can barely feel it, very appropriate for hot weather. The white mini dress goes with everything. Ingenious!

This black blazer's got heavenly shoulder pads, a round collar and perfect length. Will have to show you later on.

Another pic showing my new bob haircut (will be ajusted). And another shoulder padded blouse ;)
PS, if i knew i was actually gonna post these pics in my blog i would have dusted off the mirror and tidied up in the background first. This mirror is awful btw, and i had to crouch down to get my head in the pictures ;)
1980s looks, so fresh


First pic: authentic 80s fashion photo. Bottom pic: Louis Vuitton RTW fall 2009 has got some of that 80's fashion and 80's freshness to it, especially in this pic. (nymag.com)
Vintage rainwear
Especially good to have something bright and happy...and vintage...for a rainy day.
My latest Flickr set is devoted to vintage rainwear:

Black and white stripes
I love Wendy Bevan's photos, and these ones makes me long for warm weather. The black and white dress is amazing.
And speaking of subway grates...
