Honestly WTF

William Spratling

Posted by on

A woman on set yesterday had on the most amazing silver jewelry by designer William Spratling, also known as the “Father of Mexican Silver.”  An American designer living in Taxco, Mexico, he designed works in silver based primarily on aboriginal Mesoamerican motifs. His pieces had a major influence on 20th century Mexican silver design and have since become collectors items. So beautiful and extraordinary!

Hands Free

Yesterday, I saw a girl wearing the prettiest outfit: a layered heather grey henley with a gorgeous, vintage cream cotton and tulle maxi skirt. But what really made her ensemble effortlessly chic was this amazing leather hip pouch by Calleen Cordero. I’ve been on a long search for a fanny pack, bum bag, and/or waist bag and this is honestly the best one I’ve seen yet.

Tribal Tassels

Posted by on

Leave it to Vivienne Tam to brilliantly incorporate colorful tribal tassels into her Spring 2011 collection. These similar tassels from Silk Road Tribal were salvaged from vintage Turkoman & Baluchi garments and thanks to Vivienne, I’ve been inspired to add them to a belt or bag. Obsessed!

I Got 1st Dibs

A newbie to 1st Dibs, I’m not sure if I should feel disappointed that I didn’t know about this sooner or elated that I now have first dibs on the best selection of vintage accessories I have ever seen. I’m in love with this vintage 80s Hermés watch with the H’s running down the middle of the strap. A vintage Dior turban…I mean, honestly? And we haven’t even started talking about the furniture and clothing yet.
