Family Favorite
Both Khloe and Kim Kardashian have been spotted recently in the Cargo Skinny by Blank Denim. I’m drooling over these skinnies — the perfect dose of military chic for this fall. The sisters seem to have the look mastered with heels and oversized tops.

Party Platform
Ahhh the September issue…it even SMELLS glorious. This year’s featured some platform clogs from Celine which, unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’re bound to have seen before. Brands like Jeffrey Campbell and Zigi have done a great job of producing nearly identical versions which are much more cost effective. My wallet says, “hoooray!”

Doppelganger
Pack up your tanks and your flippy floppies! Autumn is just around the corner, bringing with it cooler weather, military inspired duds, and some positively lusty leather boots. While many brands are leaning towards a more muted palate, Dolce Vita certainly isn’t afraid to use a little color! Check out the Mica dress, which features a bold navy and deep russet orange colorway. The burnt orange pattern works on just about any skin tone, and provides a nice alternative to what promises to be a season inundated with olive and khaki.

We Love Weiners…
…all of them. But especially Erica Weiner. As one of our latest jewelry additions, this lady is bringing us affordable, unique pieces that are handmade in New York. Her jewelry materials include vintage, dead stock, and re-purposed goods – tres chic, and tres authentique. Plus Erica not only links past history with her work, she also contributes to creating a more harmonious world in which we can rock her work. Packing materials and mailers are 90% post consumer paper and 100% recyclable. The company offsets 300% of its carbon output through carbonfund.org. 5% of all after tax profits from the line go to charities. AND at prices hovering between $20-60 buckaroos, Erica Weiner is a great way to update your steez and stay wallet friendly.
Wanna hear a couple ditties? Well that adorable ring necklace — is actually a bronze engagement ring dated from the 15th century and excavated from the site of a medieval battle in the Balkans. Yup you heard that right. Oh and the bangles — those are randomly selected for a 4 piece set including various sized, designed, and material bracelets. No 2 sets are alike! The Old Style earrings? Apparently the boozy brand is considered the PBR of the Midwest (I assume we all have an appreciation for cheap beer). Maybe the budding storywriter in you will be drawn to the pen nib necklace — randomly selected from a bin of antique nibs found in a Maine barn.
Cop a Weiner piece and add your own history to this vintage legacy!
