Look of the Week: Paris Pastels

Look of the Week: Sorbetto di Milano

Every now and then one comes across a piece of clothing that justifies the very existence, persistence and indispensability of vintage and doesn’t need any explanation…. 60’s Lanvin dress (for sale at pinkclouds.com), vintage necklace (recent purchase from Olga’s Retro… READ MORE

Look of the Week: White Christmas

I didn’t expect to find any vintage stores in Punta del Este. I mean, it’s Uruguay. And it’s a beach resort. This and the other small towns along the coast really only flourish four months out of the year, when… READ MORE

Look of the Week: La Boca Chica

Look of the Week: Merry Velvet

Velvet should be declared the official Christmas uniform. Wear anything you like, as long as you add some velvet in a deep, rich color, like this purple, pleated, vintage Yves Saint Laurent skirt (from Marlene Wetherell‘s) or emerald green Charlotte… READ MORE
