Waredrobe Runway Show.

This past Friday, Taryn (of Style-Phenomenon) and I attended the Weardrobe Fashion show at The Lab. There must have been a pile of drool at my feet by the end of the show. Clothes from Blends, Treasury Department, Buffalo Exchange, Hive, and Troy Lee were featured and I found that now not only was I drooling, I had to remind myself to blink. It was an amazing short but sweet show with music you couldn't help but dance to. And of course we couldn't have ended the night better without a stop to Yogurtland.

These were some of my favorite looks.

Thank you to all our new fans of Theodora Vintage opening online September 20th! If you haven't checked out our facebook yet, what are you waiting for!? Become a fan of Theodora Vintage :)

Seventies.

Forever 21 blouse, random dress, Michael pumps, thrifted bag

I'm so glad that beige is everywhere right now because it's definitely high up on my favorite color list. This blouse was another lucky find on my latest trip to Forever 21 and I love that it's inspired by my favorite generation, the 70's. What's your favorite style generation?

Fall for Army Green.

1. Elizabeth and James oversized blazer $395

There is no doubt that army green is huge this fall and if you have hazel eyes like me, this couldn't be better news. I've always been a big fan of this color but discovered early on that it was a hard one to find. Lucky for me, it's not any more! In fact, I'm on the verge of being overwhelmed! Regardless, I can't wait to get my hands on [the afforable options of] these items!

How-to wear it: Because this shade of green often looks masculine/tough, pair it with something feminine to give your outfit a softer look.

2. Acne shorts $240

3. Splendid cardigan dress $81

4. J Brand cargo pants $240

5. Splendid skirt $56

Fringe.

Forever 21 vest and wedges, Foreign Exchange tank, Levi's cut-offs

I have been dreaming of finding the perfect fringe vest for quite some time now and I've finally found it! One of those lucky finds at Forever 21. 

Off to an early start this morning.. Taryn of Style Phenomenon and I are having a photo shoot for our up and coming clothing store! I can't wait to share with you more details.. but for now that's all you get.

Shopping Satisfaction.

Forever 21 shirt, Levi shorts, Urban Outfitters sandals, thrifted bag

I went shopping for the first time in months and boy did it feel good. I've forgotten how much joy I feel when I try on something new and fall in love instantly. I desperately need to do a closet detox before buying anything else new.. I don't think it's a good sign that my clothing rack is bending in the middle and I've run out of hangers. :) I attended Thread, my first fashion tradeshow, for my job yesterday. Although it was a tad disappointing in the way of vendors, I still felt quite lucky to be there sporting a VIP wrist band and walking around as a buyer. It might have been my first tradeshow, but it definitely won't be my last.

Topshop Wishlist.

1. Faux Fur Gilet $110

 I'm so excited that faux fur is back for another season..and I'm more than ready for it!

The instant I change my calendar from July to August, my brain goes into fall fashion mode. Fall is my favorite time of year and although our weather hardly changes from season to season here, I still find it a necessity to buy a new fall wardrobe. It's at this time that I come to the realization that we still don't have a Topshop in California. Regardless, I've limited my Topshop list  down to a few items to share with you all. What's on your wishlist this fall?

 2. Army Cape $110

 The military trend is on the rise and this coat is screaming my name.

3. 70s Shorts by Boutique $90  

One of my favorite eras, these 70s inspired shorts would look fabulous over a pair of thick black tights.

4. Lace Trim Playsuit $100 

My dream Christmas outfit.

5. Swallow Print Boyfriend Blazer $125

A girl can never have enough blazers and the color/print combo on this is too perfect for words.

6. Scallop Hem Shorts $65 

Scallop hem shorts have been on my mind for quite some time now. I think I'm overdue for a pair.

Wasteless Summer Accomplished.

American Apparel t-shirt, thrifted skirt, Urban Outfitters sandals

I am extremely proud to say I accomplished my summer challenge and didn't buy any new clothing for the whole summer! It was probably one of the hardest goals I've ever made, especially with my addiction to shopping, but I made it through and couldn't be happier. Not only did I find it easier to save my money, but I also found some great one-of-a-kind pieces from all the thrifting I've done. My challenge has come to an end, and I am eager to get to an H&M and Urban Outfitters, but I think I may just stick to thrift shopping for a while longer.. in the mean time, I DO need to do a little back to school shopping.. and I'm dying for a new pair of shoes :) I encourage everyone to take on a challenge like mine. We overproduce so many clothes and yet there are still tons without homes. Every little bit helps!

Lace & Leather.

1.

I've somehow always managed to get through our ice cold winters without a pair of good quality boots.. okay, so our winters aren't nearly ice cold, but a good pair of boots is still a necessity. This fall, I've decided to splurge on a pair of boots that will- hopefully -last me a lifetime. Hard part is, finding a pair I'm dying to have.. ya right! With lace up military inspired boots on the rise for fall, I have a feeling it's going to take some serious self-control (and most likely therapy) while shopping for only one pair. Here are a few new boots for this season.

Playful Patterns.

vintage dress, Forever 21 wedges, thrifted purse

In the past, I've chosen to fill my closet with mostly basics and mono-tone clothing. In fact, it used to be quite rare to see me in anything with a pattern. However, lately I've been drawn to bold prints and patterns and this dress was one that I just could not keep my hands off of. The print is retro and bold and the shape of the dress makes me feel giddy inside when I wear it. A year ago, I never could have imagined myself wearing such a thing, but fashion is fun.. so I don't see any harm in having a little fun, right?
