Before I go....

Rykiel cherry print apron dress
Richeline, as knocked of by Marc Jacobs
M.I.A.??

Oh lawd, I hear African drums in the distance

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....

Can't Stop,Won't Stop


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.
