candid In nyc

My sweet friend Noelle is one of the most beautiful & creative people I know. While we met on the west coast, she now lives on the east in a magical little town called Mystic. On a recent trip to NYC in April she met me in the city for a few days of laughs, photos, and record high temps.  You can check out more of Noelle’s work at N.E.W Photography.

back

I’ve been completely MIA, but am back, w upgrades.

My website www.LAVintageExchange.com is now live and very pretty w much help from the wonderful Vanessa of DUK Design. The main image is of my grandmother Laura who had impeccable style and pose. I also moved homes, work studios and blogs. The new place is fantastic and I have a work studio in back- so my commute has become extra eco-friendly. All three spaces are in mid-design process… The new work studio pre-painting – a huge, hot mess.

I picked this as an accent color among the dark walls – it ended up looking more yellow than plannedPost wall, floor & ceiling painting – next step – merchandising the space!

And just for the month of April check out LA Vintage Exchange goods at the AK1511 pop-up shop on Abbot Kinney in Venice Beach. Me + 15 other awesome brands are featured this month, giving shoppers a nice taste of contemporary + vintage clothing, jewelry, accessories and home goods.Selection of LA Vintage Exchange hand-dyed blazers, cardigans & tops.
