Today I'm writing a love letter to my new favorite bag: the envelope clutch. I found this great black version before Christmas at the J. Crew Factory store, and it's become my go-to. The best part? That chic little zipper detail around the flap is fully functional and leads to a secret compartment. Beauty and brains.
What's your go-to bag?

Did you go to Target bright and early Sunday morning to greet the Jason Wu capsule collection? I was so excited after previewing the lookbook that I set the alarm and headed out (shopping list in hand) to see the collection in person. There were only a few people waiting outside before the doors opened. (I actually ended up being second in line...I know!) Anyway, once in, I headed to the clothing department to find the items on my list. Black pleated skirt? Check. White sheer blouse with black ribbon tie? Hmm...no. Red collared pleated blouse? No again. (Were both of these only available online?)
At that point, I knew I had to move to plan B. That's when I realized I didn't have a plan B. In the frenzy, plan B quickly turned to...grab everything with a cat on it (which seemed to be everyone else's plan A). And I'm so glad I did. The collection is very charming. I ended up scoring the black pleated skirt, the sweet Milu cat tee (there was only one of these left on the rack, and I was lucky it was in my size), and the cat tote was hard to pass up (there was only one of these left as well). Oh, and I'm really thrilled to have picked up the navy floral sleeveless blouse with sheer panel. It's adorable in person...
But enough about me...what did you find?!? Were you happy with this Target collaboration?

What a weekend! Saturday brought a trip to the Manhattan Vintage Clothing Show. Such fun! If you've never been, it's definitely worth a visit. We were on a tight schedule, so my husband was sweet enough to take pictures while I got lost in all of the vintage goodness. He's a keeper.
And speaking of keepers, that little white fur coat is pretty hard to resist, don't you think? So charming...
I instantly fell in love with the delightful array of candy-colored patent leather purses at DAYBREAK VINTAGE (which also had a great collection of flower pins and Enid Collins bags, among many other lovely things). These bags felt so fresh to me. I especially loved the color and shape of the pink bag, but that kelly green bag with the green closure? Too good to be true.
Ooooh...check out this fantastic Pierre Cardin dress from CHELSEA GIRL. Without a doubt, it embodied the 4 C's: Classic, Crimson, Cream and Chevron. I can't stop picturing it worn over slim, ankle-skimming pants with sweet ballet flats and pearls, pearls, pearls.
I'm pretty sure I gasped when I turned the corner to find this swoon-worthy wall of vintage jewelry at DE JEWELS, beautifully and thoughtfully arranged by color. I'm still kicking myself for leaving the show without buying the amazing Accessocraft peachy-pink oversized chain necklace I saw in this booth. It was the most delicious color...
Oh, I wish I could share photos from each and every booth. It was such a fun day, and I can't wait to go back and spend more time. Maybe I'll see you there!
What's your favorite vintage show?

Happy February! I can't think of a better way to greet this super sweet month than with pink and red candy stripes, can you? Love, love, love.
Thank you for your interest in the items featured in THE FIND. Included are either pieces from my personal collection or pictures from my old shop inventory. Therefore, these items are not available for sale. But don't lose hope! The goal of this section is to prove that you never know what you'll find if you keep your eyes open at flea markets, vintage shops, online auction sites, etc. So happy hunting!
