Pink Violin, Electric Guitar.. Need I Say More

What a fun night. Tons of entertainment, food, drinks, and friends. That's all a girl can ask for. My i-phone helped me catch the highlights from this birthday bash.

Awesome violinist with a pink blinged out instrument. Pretty cool if you ask me.

This was the best electric guitarist I've ever come across!

Outfit - denim flared jeans with a sheer beaded Urban Outfitters top. Thank you Kat for posing with.

Ralph Lauren Does Vintage

Catching on like wild fire, vintage is popping up all over! Ralph Lauren showed a vintage inspired collection during New York Fashion Week at Skylight studio.

I came across an article that covered the show: "Just like Ralph Lauren's Spring 2012 collection, his Fall 2012 collection looks to vintage 20's and 30's fashion for style inspiration".

The three looks below were my personal favorite. I LOVE the simple silhouettes, metallics, and a-line necklines that scream vintage chic.

A Rose Bowl Experience

Shopping around in Los Angeles to find new products for my online vintage store typically includes a monthly visit to the Pasadena Rose Bowl flea market. I've made it a point to habitually attend and yet I still find myself somewhat overwhelmed when I arrive to a welcoming of thousands of vendors (literally over 2500 booths, I asked). Needless to say, making this an all day event is the only way to cover enough ground to leave satisfied and feel like I found the best of the best products to add to Rack and Sack. With an array of costume and fine vintage jewelry to select from, I always manage to find products I feel good about and get excited to share with my customers. 

Although it's always fun, running around searching through thousands of booths is never an easy task. I can see why some people get turned off by the idea of flea markets and steer clear of the overwhelming feeling that's almost inevitable. Your thoughts: Where do I start? How do I buy? How can I tell if this is vintage? What vendors carry the best products? Is this priced right? -- And that's sort of how the idea of Rack and Sack was born. An experienced hunter with a great eye (me) does the searching for you. Now get to it and start SHOPPING!

Item Of The Day: Shielded

I love adding vintage rings to the collection since I've found that they're so hard to come by.  I immediately fell in love with the tribal pattern and colored stone and knew I had to make it a new addition to my vintage shop, success!

Sidenote, the Rosebowl is coming up this Sunday and I cannot wait to share my shopping experience and new finds with everyone. 4 days and counting! Thank goodness, I'm starting to have shopping withdrawals. Look out for those photos soon.
