This might be the motherload of caftans and has the biggest "wingspan" I've seen on a garment
So, this is probably the last update I will do from my upstairs office in Brooklyn. For so long I had been a pouty baby about shopping in NY and the surrounding areas bc I was sure it was picked over and I wasn't going to find anything and how could anything possibly be better than digging in South Florida? Well, for once, I was wrong. I only regret thinking about what I missed out on. I mean, this is the place where I found a quilted coat with a leather patchwork mallard duck on it and my pink and black leopard weirdo cocoon sweater dress. I started realizing that even eccentrics get tired of their stuff and want to pass it on to eagerly awaiting vintage obsessors so they can keep shopping. Oh New York- we have had such an intense relationship. You've dressed me in your finest rags, will DC be able to compete? I will keep you posted. In the meantime, enjoy my pre-fall warm-up....
Personal acquisition of the week, and no your eyes are not fooling you, those are padded kimono sleeves
I know, I couldn't believe my eyes either...
Don't be fooled! Its a scarf(which will be sewn into a caftan) and a cropped bolero
A creampuff dream
Such gorgeous embroidery and fabric
Jantzen
Wild Horses
Missoni
Really good hardware
Scorpions
So I'm finally at the tail end of this heinous cold/club lung that has been pounding my immune system for the past 3 weeks. So what better way to celebrate than to go out and dig? Some days I felt like shit and that translated into what I would find, and then I put my good vintage vibes out and voila....magical scorpion necklaces and embroidered caftans appear. There is so much other good stuff I found but my camera was dying and I was too lazy to wait for it to recharge. You'll have to make due until the next post. P.S. I think the gargantuan moving sale will be in the next 3 weeks...I will keep you posted.
The FedEx man came by today with my boxes and I fell in love all over again. Please inquire about prices and stay tuned for information about my upcoming gargantuan moving sale.
