Alright, we admit it.  We’re LABEL JUNKIES!  But you gotta believe us when we tell you that this is an addiction we can totally control.  You won’t catch us maxing out our cards or not making the rent to support this habit!  How do we get away with that?  Let’s just say you have to know where to SCORE.  We’ve bought some serious high quality designer stuff at low grade prices on eBay, at the flea market, and of course, the good ol’ thrift store!  It’s hard to understand how not everyone wants to have names like Yves, Christian and Louis in their possession.  But trust us, when their loss is your gain, it’s the BEST BUZZ ever.  Here’s a little hit of some of our best COME UPS…

Uniqlo Heather Gray Tank + Vintage Levi’s Denim Shorts from OMG, NYC

Raissa, Los Angeles:

For weeks now, L.A. has been experiencing some serious June Gloom so I told Jac I’d wear tights with this outfit! Well, to my surprise (and now Jac’s!) the sun decided to finally come out! I ditched the tights and threw on my newly re-discovered, never worn Rogan for Target linen vest.  The stripes went nicely with the almost acid wash denim shorts and the softest Uniqlo tank that I can’t live without. Enjoying the sun, the bf and I decided to ride our bikes to dinner so my wedged booties were the perfect shoes to wear, though Lance Armstrong might disagree! To cap off my sunshine giddyness, I wore red lipstick and rode like a champ for sushi!

Jaclyn, New York:

Ha!  (No problem, Rais!)  I chose to wear my outfit to work today so I worked the sheer black tights with this get up.  Like I’ve said before, I like to keep my day job wardrobe fun because I definitely think I’m more productive when I like what I’m wearing.  And, hey, I did add the blazer since that just screams ”strictly business”, right?  ;) Oh, and I’ve been totally rocking the scarf necklaces from our latest D.I.M post.  It feels pretty good since I haven’t worn these scarves in a million years and now I’ve sported them twice in a week!

Where: Halo, Hollywood, CA

Get Up: Vintage Trousers + Chanel Bag + Belt (Vintage Warehouse, L.A.), Vintage Bracelets + Ring (Flea Markets, L.A.), Vintage Bustier (Blogger Shop Day- Thanks Taghrid!) + Dolce Vita Velvet Pumps

Most, if not all, Nylon festivities guarantee a good time. The party last night was maybe the best one so far! Good company (bf’s on each arm- the boyfriend and the best friend), good girls (head to toe) in every direction, and a FREE show by The Ting Tings that was nothing short of AMAZING! By night’s end, the only sentence coming out of people’s mouths was, “That’s not my name!”

To: Places where lots of denim is A-OK!

Where: Front Yard BBQ in Culver City and Scion Art Show

Get Up 1: Cropped denim vest (Nordstrom’s), Cheap Monday Jeans, Vintage Belt + Shoes + Bag + Rings + Sunglasses

Get Up 2: BDG Denim Shirt, Cheap Monday Jeans, Vintage Dior Belt + Vintage Jewelry

Saturday was filled with activities that required me to bring a change of clothes in the car. Dying to wear my new denim vest and buttoned down top, I decided to wear both items the same day.

The cropped vest (along with my belly button!) made its debut at my friend Mike’s newly renovated front yard. Surrounded with funny friends, beer and mini burgers served on Hawaiian bread, it was the perfect Memorial Weekend BBQ. When the sun set and the weather cooled down to a breezy 70 degrees, I changed to a denim buttoned down shirt that had the perfect mix of casual and cool. Switching out my beaded belt for a toned down skinny leather belt and adding my favorite vintage bracelets and horse head necklace , I was ready to see art and put down my 5th mini YUMMY burger.
