Starry Eyes & Stormy Skies: HELLO Friends...New and Old.

Welcome! This is my first post. As I did not plan ahead to create a post on a newly created topic, here's a little number on some old stuff (literally).

VINTAGE

And Who doesn't love VINTAGE?!

Here are some great 'Flea Market Finds' that I ventured into the sweltering summer heat to discover. I think it was worth it...


Aztec Inspired Eagle Necklace, Silver with Turquoise

A Great Summer Accessory, I have already worn it a million times.

Love this! The pleating and tulip hem are great details.

Gotta love the polka dots. And Navy is a great color for every season. Pair it with a nude lace top to match the color of the dots, a nude heel and some gold and navy earrings in the Spring/Summer or a cozy cream sweater in the Fall/Winter.

You must have a Leather Pencil Skirt in your collection, duh!

The waist band on this baby really cinches in your waist line and looks great on anyone.

Show off you tush in this figure hugging skirt and add a flowy, printed blouse, studded earrings and either killer heels or motorcycle boots for a fun night out. Get sexy at work wearing the skirt with a sheer, light colored blouse under a fitted blazer.

I love vintage scarves, I have been collecting them for years.

I have so many, my scarf bin literally overflows.

Scarves are a great way to accent and enhance your wardrobe. I look for them everywhere, from flea markets to consignment shops, to grandma's house and lost and founds. Seriously. Dress up any look with a fun variety of color, pattern and fabric. Tired of trying to dress up at work, I went a whole week wearing the same black pencil skirt and white T-shirt with a different scarf everyday and no one was the wiser. Try It For Yourself!

Tune in later for more fun with my scarf collection.

Some other great vintage items you will find around my apartment....

Keep an eye out at your local consignment and thrift stores for great pieces for your home. Or check out bidding websites that offer vintage items. Did you know Goodwill has an auction site with a similar premise to Ebay? Take a gander at http://www.shopgoodwill.com . The auction has access to sellers all over the world, and their proceeds fund job placement and education.

Vintage is all around my friends. Out with the Old and In with the New? How about we hold on to both?

Keep your eyes on the sky.
