The Not Just Vintage Sample Sale was a good time. If you weren't there you missed it. But don't miss out again. Mark ya calenda', the next sale will be on August 15th!
At Rae Holliday's bday-party my girl Chay rocked my world with a text that read,"Ginuwine is here."
You have to understand how much I loved him circa '96-'99. Although my type has evolved to a man that looks a lot less pretty, I had to respect my 10-year old self and approach him.
I told him how much I loved him and we took a shot. Let's not front. I was still excited!
Here's a video of him at the Apollo, in case you don't remember how much girls went crazy for him!
Show love and come out to NJV for another installment of our sample sale! Starts at 10 am...goes 'til 8 pm!
It takes a special man to pull these off. I'm sure you can make it happen. Original price: $286. Now: $143! Cop 'em at Oak.
Join Not Just Vintage boutique in BK and myself for Odd & Even, NYC buys as well as picks from other fresh designers!
I bumped into Zandile couple weekends ago in BK and she loved my chain shades. I blessed her with a pair and she whipped out her flipcam for an on the spot interview! I'm always ready for a shout out, so check out the interview below! See it on her blog here!
Zandile Blay is creator of The Blay Report and market editor of Paper Magazine.
The "New Woman" pushes boundaries and dares mores. Try wearing this to the office!

Is it that time already!?
The time when you've just gotten comfortable in your summer duds, just to be reintroduced to fall must-haves. Shops UO fall shoe collection here.
After digging through zillions of bins and fighting off the trendy kids, I was able to find some dope pieces from Urban's Additional 50% off sale. If you missed it...you missed out! Peep my finds!
I also snatched up a statement necklace for $9.99 and nautical -inspired rope sandals for only $4.99!
Make a note of it! July 25, Not Just Vintage x Odd & Even, NYC will be sample selling again!
Expect vintage goods curated by owners, Maya and LaMonica, new designs that I'm cooking up and plenty more from other indies!

I've seen this done on The Sartorialist a while back. Now that I look at the original, I realize that I definitely came up with a different style. Try one, try em both. The results are double-take inducing!

Givenchy presents a black and white graphic print pant that screams "Futuristic!" Below, Solange gives a similar look in an outfit that I think is genius because it looks aboslutely effortless and absolutely dramatic, simultaneously.

Think about it: pair a white tee with your favorite black blazer. Enter in a pair of black and white graphic leggings (plays off the blk and white up top in a more interesting way) And slide on those bright pumps you never thought you'd wear again.
No need for crazy multi prints or an entire neon outfit. Genius!
Alice Dellal is a walking contradiction and true to that style. In Betsey Johnson (right shot) she proves that frou, frou and studs can produce natural harmony.
Is that a dolphin tattooed on your hand? I heart you, Alice!

Deets: vintage blazer, H&M top (I reworked), Forever 21 jeans, JC sandals, random scarf (worn as a belt)
"Boyfriend" has come to describe anything oversized for the fashionista. I've even been referring to the oversized tank as a "boyfriend tank" lately. But of course, our favorite trend spotter, Who What Wear Daily, has declared it a trend!
Here's a snippet of what they wrote:
The simple sophistication of an impeccably crisp and extra large button-up appeared on our sartorial radar early this season when we noticed a voluminously proportioned top on the S/S 09 runway of Japanese minimalist master, Yohji Yamamoto.
...After all, a well-crafted piece of menswear always adds a little androgyny and power to an ensemble, while the easy-going shape is perfect for those who have an insouciant attitude when it comes to their wardrobes!

I love a boyfriend tank. And the graphic tube bra underneath gives it added interest.
The Sobe Summer Friday event was more than I expected with a vogue-ing Sobe mascot and a cute DJ who must have had a pile of numbers on his table by the end of the event (that's another story...). Here's some looks that caught my eye.
Trevor & Mia. He's with Chucks and a bowler hat. She with an A. Wang shoulder bag, shaved head and florals. They're married. What more is there to it?
