Do you have an affinity for the dames of yesteryear. Rather glaze over Elizabeth Hurley in that epic Versace dress then Miley 'Hanna Montana' Cyrus try to revive it? Us too! There's nothing like buying vintage, the hunt in itself is a thrill and when you find gems (as I often do via 1stDibs.com) it's always triumphant.  

HOW TO GET THE LOOK: Get thrifty (pun intended)! No matter if you are on the search for one-of-a-kind couture pieces are period looks don't get scared to get down and dirty. Look at the garment, really look at it and see if it is worth the expense (no matter how cheap we mean inexpensive it is). With a vintage wardrobe it's all about the aesthetic but be sure that it's worth it. Most important be sure to be knowledgeable and fully cognizant of the era you are attempting to achieve with your look!

There are no rules when you want to express yourself. It shoes, the latest bags and other ''trends'' have no meaning to you. While you love to make a statement it's more then just a necklace. You don't let  clothes speak for you, yet you look declares attention!  


HOW TO GET THE LOOK: Just like the system you slash, cut up and pin up your clothes with abandon. You make a Mickey Mouse t-shirt hardcore there's no rules with you're a Punk so why start now?

STYLE Rx: ESSENTIAL DAME

We have all seen her (unless - of course you are her), that confident , fiery specimen of a DIVA who exudes sex but commands respect from all those in her vicinity. Her wardrobe is a vast collection of frocks  so intoxicating, enchanting and uninhibited that she would make Dita herself blush. 
HOW TO GET THE LOOK: Don't be afraid of your body! Being a Dame comes with great responsibility and that mon petites, means wearing proper undergarments! It's very simple,  rock your frocks but be certain that the fit is correct and the silhouette compliments your frame.
