Everbody loves a vintage scarf..

Even fun 4 year olds!

Check out Brandi who came in a couple of days ago.

She showed off some of my favorite vintage scarves.

The first style was a big Picasso inspired square.

Fold it in half.

And then again into a triangle.

Doesn't it look good as a head scarf?

Well.... doesn't it?

And you can take that triangle and roll it up, too...

And voila! A cool neck scarf.

And this fun little rectangular polka dot scarf is great.

Wrap it around a few times as a wrist scarf.

Or around your head as a headband.

Or around your neck as a cool little accent.

Thanks Brandi for modeling! And thanks to Janaea and Sian for stopping in with this fun fashionista in the making. Vintage scarves ... $25 in a range of colors and sizes. Tie 'em up any which way!

vintage scarves and glam camping...

One of my customers came in on Saturday and was looking for a stylish option for camping this summer. Her solution? A vintage scarf wrapped around her head. Hmmmm. So much better than a basic bandana!

We've got tons of vintage scarves. $25 and super versatile.

Vintage scarves meets Kenzo.

I'm doing some trend spotting for Fall 2010. I know, I know. Spring 2010 is just starting, but I need to make sure that I'm on top of colors, silhouettes, and any vintage inspiration that I can pick up when I'm out shopping for the boutique. Plus --- If I see a fabric NOW that I want for later, I'm buying it. You never know when you'll find a yummy fabric.

Trends come from the streets to the runways. I spot them on campus at FIDM, on the groovy skateboarders who roll past the boutique on the way to Venice Beach, and getting coffee in the morning at FLAKE and checking out the hip stroller moms.

I've especially been drawn to the designs of KENZO. I remember loving this label in the 80's. It was always colorful and fun. As I was watching their runway show, I noticed that printed scarves kept happening.

Hmmm. Maybe, just maybe I'm ahead of this trend. Check out the fun selection of vintage styles that are now in store. $25 and $35. We even put up a new rack to display 'em on. How's that for trend spotting?
