A Sweet View on Vintage & Antique Fashion

Lovers of vintage and antique clothing have the ability to bring new life to old treasures. Lately, I have come to the realization that my collection of vintage and antique piece items seems to be growing. A splendid feeling it is to hold such historical items in my wardrobe. Does this show off the history nerd side of my personality?

Vintage and antique items are more then just trendy, they are also eco-friendly, Now, I'm honestly not that green of a person. I despise waste, especially when great art is involved. 

Despite being outdated, vintage pieces can give a look an updated feel. The most ideal scenario would be if the piece matched whatever the hip new trend is. I'm not speaking of my ideal however.. sometimes I dare to be different. 

If you would like to view more historical information on vintage and antique garments then I suggest you check out the timeline by the Vintage Fashion Guild - http://vintagefashionguild.org/fashion-timeline

Street Style's Takeover Around The Globe

Street style is trending around the globe. Recently, news broke about mini Topshops opening in select Nordstrom department stores across the United States. Places such as the British retailer Topshop have become famous for presenting a new type of fashion forward with reasonably priced items dedicated to showcasing street style. 

Growing up, I was an avid reader street style/street fashion related magazines such as FRUiTS Mag. Japanese street fashion was all the rage in my eyes. A deep love and understanding of such bold expressions made me seem like an oddball to society. My mind never could have wrapped itself around the fact that said oddball passions would become an explosive trend. Now? I'm seemingly a novice as street fashion (or as you could say street style) has been reborn.
