Vintage shopping is my kryptonite. There’s something magical about it—it’s like an escape for my mind, sifting through racks of history, hunting for treasures you can’t find anywhere else. Recently, I had the absolute best time at A Current Affair in Brooklyn, a dream vintage show filled with one-of-a-kind finds and the most creative people behind each booth.
I came home with a piece that I know will be a forever staple in my closet: a one-of-a-kind vintage Chanel necklace. Gold-plated (of course!), it feels timeless yet bold, the kind of piece you’ll wear year-round and always get compliments on. It reminds me of the charm necklace in my collection that belonged to my mother and great-grandmother. Since I have two daughters, I’m constantly on the lookout for unique pieces I can pass down to each of them—this necklace is already on its way to being a cherished heirloom. (It’s getting re-plated as we speak!)
And can we talk about the vibes of this show?! Feathers, leopard, gold, leather—the more fun, funky, and fabulous, the better. I was in heaven. The show reminded me why I’ll always love fashion that stands out. As I always say, “I was not made to be subtle.”
Here are a few of my favorite finds:
A colorful plaid coat (so chic and perfect for fall).
A fur shawl that felt like pure glamour.
A sheer cape with a fur collar (yes, it’s as dreamy as it sounds).
A red coat with leopard trim—because leopard is basically a neutral in my world.
A sleeveless snakeskin dress for when you want to channel your inner rock star.
Cool, oversized sunglasses that are begging for a fabulous outfit to match.
A black-and-white fur coat that screams old Hollywood glam.
Inspired? I’ve added a few pieces below that are similar to what I discovered at A Current Affair. Because we were born to stand out, weren’t we?!
Stay fabulous,
