* To Broach
Posted on October 3rd, 2009 by iru. Filed under Accessories, Vintage.
a brooch, une broche, many-a-brooch:
Clockwise from top: thrifted mosaic pin (handmade in Italy), a very thoughtful gift from Banana Republic many years back, thrifted dragonfly, vintage fish à la Haight Street, yet another thrifted Italian blessing, a lovely something inspired by an art nouveau Fabergé egg (quite embarassingly from the Met Museum Store) and something of a lie (as this green heart is definitely not a brooch)

* Dilemma
Posted on April 28th, 2009 by iru. Filed under Styling, Vintage.
Friend with an engagement party in Connecticut. Less than half an hour to get ready. An aversion to the pink of her newly purchased vintage Halston IV dress. Whatever in the world to do?
- Remind her that Salmon Pink isn’t bubble pink! It actually looks ultramodern with sea-foam green, silver or powder blue.
- Don’t fudge with the classic, already-in-place jewelry.
- Pair with silver shoes that feel light. Black comes off too heavy and trying too hard to have an edge; gold comes off too pseudo-ritzy and saccharine.
- Last but not least, tell her to channel her inner Liza Minelli!
I want to thank Josephine (my lovely model, roommate and fashion blog confidante), all my friends and new readers for supporting my fledgling blog. Your comments really do fill my wee li’l heart with joy.
