manhattan vintage clothing show

On Saturday Oct. 9, Arabelle and I attended the Manhattan Vintage Clothing Show. Simply put, it was F*CKING AMAZING. I had never been to a trunk show before that, so you could only imagine just how excited, flabbergasted, and nervous I was to be among rows and rows of vintage Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, and Comme des Garcons, to name a few. Actually, I only spotted one piece of CdG, which was pretty disappointing (and which Belle fondled shamelessly, LOL -- I tried to take a picture of it/her doing that, but the stand owner snapped at us before I had the chance. DAMN.), but luckily there were so many other gorgeous clothes there to distract me from that fact. Haha, it didn't take long for me to get lost in the clothes, both figuratively and literally (The space was huge!), that we ended up postponing our additionally planned trip to the FIT Museum to see the "Japan Fashion Now" exhibit. FAIL.. But it was totally worth it.

Now for the fun part of this post.. PHOTOS FROM THE SHOW c/o Arabelle! We weren't really allowed to take photos there, which explains the low quantity of pictures, but Arabelle managed to sneak a few, so here you go. Get ready to be blown away.





Dope, huh? XD

I even invested in a pretty dress that I can't wait to wear and show you! I'm thinking I'll wear it to class or nowhere special just 'cause I can. Dazed and confused looks from peers at my small school 100% welcome.

(For more photos from the show, visit this link and click on "Silhouettes from the 1920s: October 2010." Jennifer Drue took some great shots! Also, stay tuned for outfit/silly photos of Belle and me that I hope to have up soon. If only she'd send them to me.. That busy bee.)
