Summer Pop Up Shop

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.

Second Time Is A Charm

April showers bring May shoppers. The Spring Vintage Shaun  and Dee Lioness Pop Up Shop took place from May 3 through May 9th in Greenpoint Brooklyn and was the destination for vintage lovers and accessories addicts. To add to the fun and fashionable fete, were the sponsors who elevated the Pop-Up and allowed customers to have a hospitable experience. Belvoir Fruit Farms, Caribaya Rum Punch, Carpingo and Pop Chips provided the beverages, cocktails, transportation and snacks in the shop, granting customers a larger than life retail experience. Check out the images below from photographer Aisha Ude and make sure you follow us @VintageShaun  for more events this summer.

Last evening, Annika Harris of UPTOWN  Magazine, Keisha Bloise of Beauty n’ Curlz and Lucy Norris of On Deck with Lucy were on hand as the blogger hosts for the very first Sip n’ Style at the  Vintage Shaun  and Dee Lioness Spring Pop Up Shop in Greenpoint , Brooklyn.

Each blogger brought their own personal touch on styling a piece from the Vintage Shaun collection in addition to wearing  a handcrafted piece from contemporary jewelry designer Dee Lioness.    Some of the vintage  pieces curated by the bloggers  included a 1980s cream silk  damask print wrap dress  from Argenti which was in the Annika Harris collection. A peach silk ruffled blouse from the 1970s was part of Keisha Boise’s collection and a black and white beaded evening top from the 1960s was a favorite of Lucy Norris. 

 Guests  were treated to an educational yet fun shopping experience.  The complimentary cocktail of the evening, the Brooklyn Storm, was provided by Georgi Vodka and Caribaya Rum Punch.  For those not partaking in cocktails, Belvoir Fruit Farms was on hand with their organic presses, a refreshing mixture of fruit and sparkling water which was a hit and complimented the pop chips that were also on hand as the snack sponsor.

The evening was highlighted on numerous social media outlets using the hashtag #SipnStyle and both the bloggers and attendees made posting, fun and fashionable.  If you were unable to  attend the   Sip n’ Style, but still want to get your vintage fix,  you have until  until Friday March 9^th  to stop by the Vintage Shaun and Dee Lioness Pop Up Shop  at 110 Meserole Avenue,Brooklyn, New York 11222.

Sip n' Style with Keisha Bloise of Beauty n' Curlz

This Wednesday we are kicking off  the first ever Sip n' Style event at the Vintage Shaun Spring Pop Up Shop. We were lucky enough to have  three amazing and stylish ladies; Annika Harris of UptownMagazine.com, Keisha Bloise of Beauty n' Curlz and Lucy Norris of On Deck with Lucy for stylish conversation on my favorite topic- vintage.  They will be on hand Wednesday evening to provide fashion tips and also discuss their love of vintage. But first, let's get to know Keisha of Beauty n' Curlz with her style profile below and look out for her at the Sip n' Style this Wednesday.

 Describe your style

My style is definitely edgy. I try to get key pieces that reflect my individuality. I have always loved unique pieces that stand me out from the crowd, so I look far from ordinary. I like to call myself a chameleon; I like to constantly change my look and style.  Who wants to be boring?! I love for my style to reflect my mood for the day dependent on comfort, event, etc.  When I dress up and show out, I allow my confidence to shine and be my best accessory. If you don’t feel or look like you are confident in what you wear, then who will?!

 Favorite item in your closet?

I have so many, to narrow it down to just one is pretty hard. My favorite item in my closet would have to be my cheetah print blazer. It has shoulder pads, which gives emphasis, and I love how it is cut. Plus, cheetah print is my all-time favorite because it's daring...rawrrr!

 Why do you like vintage?

I adore thrift/ vintage pieces because it allows me to play dress up with a dated piece of clothing. I feel like I can go back in time for a second and bring a modern type feel.  The options for vintage are endless; I can tailor it or transform it into my vision. Whatever it is, vintage fashion is exactly that, classic and unique!

 Favorite vintage item?

My favorite vintage item is a fur jacket that I received from my boyfriend’s grandmother. I transformed it into a vest. I love the caramel color and knowing no one will have this, but me. It’s real jazzy!

 What tips do you have for people buying vintage.

Some tips include: examining the article clothing for deficiencies that cannot be fixed (this will eliminate you wasting your money), think outside the box (if any item does not fit, you can always get it tailored or transform the item into what you desire), and make sure you try on (I hate this part, but when shopping vintage this is an absolute must).

Good Day Street Talk with Vintage Shaun

Last week, I had an amazing opportunity to do a segment on Fox's Good Day Street Talk. For their Earth Day episode, I would discuss how eco- friendly, wearing and buying vintage clothing is. There would also be a   fashion show showcasing vintage in different lights.  I was more than excited to call upon my friends, Aisha, Destiny, Jackie, Jeff and Makeda from Glamazon Diaries  as well as my Dee Lioness who supplied the accessories to smize and do the Naomi Campbell walk. Below are a few shots on set and you can catch the entire segment along with the amazing models here.
