The Vintage Society Trunk Show II is quickly approaching! The racks will be full once again with treasures to be found and goodies to take home. December 13th is the approaching date, so mark it in your calendar and plan on heading over to Silverlake in Los Angeles.

I wanted to let you in on some new items that will be featured and I thought there was no better way than a fall editorial. Get your sneek peek of the clothes from The Vintage Society closet….

Society Girl of the Week: Faye Dunaway

Classic, granny-chic and fabulous all rolled into one. Her starring role in Bonnie and Clyde set a style standard and she is still inspiring today. She is our Society Girl of the Week.. Faye Dunaway!

Black and White no longer lives in only the newspaper.. it lives on the streets. Black and white has always been a combination we gravitate towards, but never has it been so popular. It is edgy, classic, feminine - try your own version.

Sending Shivers

Jonesy80 — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 01:51:28 +0000

It was the perfect fall day - cool, blustery, and chilled! Finally I felt justified for wearing warmth. All of a sudden fall weather adds a huge element to your look. Now you can pile on creativity. Create outfits simply by layering one thing on top of another. It sends shivers down my spine - shivers of excitement.

Shops Around the Corner: Elsewhere Vintage

Jonesy80 — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 17:30:18 +0000

Welcome to a new feature on The Vintage Society! Every other Friday, I will be featuring shops around the world. They may be local shops in my neighborhood (great for any Society Girl on the West Coast), shops in other states around the country, or most often shops online (that any Society Girl can enjoy).

I want to spread the good news of great little haunts that feature vintage or vintage-inspired clothes, jewelry, handbags.. basically anything fabulous for Society Girls to make their own. Side note to any online shop owners.. contact me to be featured.

So we begin with my latest obsession of a shop, I have hinted around this one, but wanted to wait until I could give you a sneek peak into the world of Elsewhere Vintage! For those in Southern Californina, you must make this a new stop on your shopping excursions. Tucked away in Old Towne Orange, one of the prettiest little towns you’ve ever seen, you will find this hidden treasure. I have long waited for a vintage shop to pop up in my neck of the woods that oozes such flare.. and now it is here!

Elsewhere Vintage feels fresh and unique, with a boutique atmosphere. The selection you will find is top notch, anything from 1920’s through the 1980’s. There is no need to claw and pick through stacks - it is all neatly organized and displayed - and I love that it is sorted by style not era. You may even find Christian Dior or more! Oh… and the accessories are to die for.. ecspecially the purse selection.. I have my eye on at least 10 must-haves.

On a final note: Being an avid thrifter, I must say, that I know what is easy and hard to find when it comes to vintage clothing - and what you will find at Elsewhere is the hard to find - unbelievable - one of a kind peices!

Add Elsewhere Vintage to your list of places to shop..I promise.. it will be worth it. And good news, for those salivating who live outside of California, they plan to sell online as well!
