We're Back!

Let's say bye bye to this long dreadful winter and brighten up our wardrobe with stunning Spring vintage wardrobe. I'm so excited to be bringing this back to my neighborhood, Crown Heights.

Mark Your Calendars We Are Popping Back Up

We are back for a Spring fashion forward journey. Making a return  to Greenpoint to add stunning warm weather pieces to your wardrobe. Mark your calendars, put your shopping money to the side and  grab some great clothes and a gift for Mother's Day.

Pop Up Video

Children of the 1990s do you remember when Vh1 had a show called Pop Up Videos? While watching 10,000 Maniac Videos or Bjork we learned random facts about the artist(s) and the production of the video. It was brain food for pop culture geeks, like myself and boy do I miss it. Well, since we are counting down to the week long pop up shop, we've dropped another video sort of like Bad Boy Records in 1996. Here's the Vintage Shaun Pop Up Video, now take that!

Highlight: Mafalda

When I’m not searching for inventory for my own shop, I still have some favorite vintage stores of my own that carry stunning and amazing pieces.  Mafalda, located in the Boerum Hill section of Brooklyn opened in 2010 but it wasn’t until after reading about it in The Village Voice that I then decided to visit.

With stellar looks to go with an impeccable collection of high end day and evening pieces with normal pricing, owner and buyer Christina Kolbe has hit a mark with Mafalda.   Carrying obscure designers from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s  that have a strong contemporary aspect, Koble has a stylist's eye. A silk  pink and turquoise abstract print dress caught my eye immediately and with just a quick glance in the mirror it was a wrap. Other stellar pieces include a bat wing sequin top, a powder blue boucle wool and silk suit a la Betty Draper. Mafalda has stellar pieces that speak to a fashionable vintage lover. The  next time you’re strolling around the sweet streets of Brooklyn, pop into the shop, you won’t leave empty handed.
