Fall Flea Market Finds

Flea markets have always been a source of inspiration for me, especially since I never know what I may find while browsing. I thoroughly enjoy meandering through the stalls, uncovering hidden gems, and chatting with friendly vendors. Inspiration may come in the form of colorful bikes, vintage perfume bottles, holiday decorations, or luxurious coats from decades past. Even if I leave

Giambattista Valli at Macy's

I finally had an opportunity to browse the Giambattista Valli for Impulse collection at Macy's. Full of ruffles, bold red hues, and leopard prints, it was exactly the kind of clothing that I dream of filling my closet with. Although I didn't try anything on, my favorite piece by far was the frilly red skirt in the second photo. Everything appeared to be well tailored with luxe details, rich

The Style Tour

This weekend I had the chance to combine several activities that I love: shopping, styling, and chatting about personal style and trends with fashion experts. As part of the Westfield Style Tour, I had a complimentary consultation at the shopping center with a Style for Hire stylist, who helped me to pick out an outfit based upon my lifestyle, body type, and trend preferences. What better way to

Jennifer Lopez for Kohl's Review

Content © 2011 http://fashiontrendguide.blogspot.com. All rights reserved.I spent some time browsing the new Jennifer Lopez Collection at Kohl's last Thursday. My shopping strategy was to try on the apparel, handbags, and perhaps some shoes; I wasn't particularly interested in the home goods or jewelry. As I inspected the clothing, I noticed a signature Jennifer Lopez-inspired neutral and muted

Shopping at the Ventura Flea Market

Today must have been my lucky day, since I not only found the exact type of kimono I was looking for at the Ventura Flea Market, but I also managed to avoid the unusually rainy weather that began shortly after I left. The vendor and shopper turnout was better than usual, and oddly enough, although the Ventura Flea Market only takes place 6 times per year, it has rained on the last three.

Shopping at the Greige Market Pop-Up

I joined forces with Sarah once again to attend the opening night party for the Greige Market Pop-Up shop on La Brea in L.A. We sipped coconut water and browsed gorgeous printed dresses by BB Dakota, colorful designs by Custo Barcelona, super soft skinny denim, eco-friendly tops for men, unique bow ties by Tycoon Neckwear, tees by KRMA, jeans by Them denim, printed maxi dresses by Manoush, and

Another Visit to the Ventura Flea Market

Despite a little bit of rain and wind, I paid a visit to the Ventura Flea Market in search of vintage goodies. Instead of the usual turnout where parking is hard to find and vendors fill the space, there was a notable absence of sellers (and buyers) due to the less than ideal weather conditions. Since I'm not one to let a few raindrops get in the way of a day of shopping, I continued to browse

Rose Bowling

In an unusually busy weekend that involved watching Kathy Griffin live, celebrating my cousin's birthday, and taking home a new road bike, I somehow managed to get to Pasadena for the monthly Rose Bowl flea market. Shortly after arriving, I lost count of the fur jackets, cutoff Levi's, faux LV bags, vintage cowboy boots, antique chandeliers, and varsity jackets. Sometime between my last Rose Bowl

Seoul Searching

The lovely folks at AtSeoul contacted me to see if I'd like to feature some of their products. While this is nothing unusual, I clicked on over to have a look at their merchandise, and lo and behold, it was actually a good match for both my taste and budget. (Trust me, it doesn't happen very often, but when it does, it's because I want the store and the products to be a good match for Fashion

Love for Lanvin

Call me crazy, I'm guilty as charged. You see, on Friday night, I decided to sacrifice a night of sleep in the name of fashion, namely Lanvin ♥ H&M. (Only for your floral frocks, sketched tees, and leopard pumps, Alber!) After seeing the increasing amount of listings and inflated prices for Lanvin ♥ H&M on eBay, I've confirmed that it was well worth it to wait in line and shop the collection
