Flower Power

Vintage Dame ADORES flowers! I love the idea that a flower starts off as just a little seedling and then blossoms into a glorious creation. I think that all of us ladies need to remember that we too are meant to "blossom" into our very best, most fulfilled selves. The only way for us to truly manifest the lives that we are meant to lead, is if we love ourselves, take care of ourselves and honor what is special and unique about ourselves each and every day. Blossom Away!

Groupie Chic


One of Vintage Dame's all time favorite looks is "Groupie Chic" - a combo hippie & rock n roll style. This flow-y blouse is from Victoria Secret, can't you just picture Penny Lane wearing it? Calleen Codero's earthy, rocker-ish shoes, cuff and purse below are the best example of this iconic look. Her pieces are expensive, but SO worth it. Each item is made by hand right here in North Hollywood, using top quality Italian leather and various metals. My Mom bought me an amazing pair of her studded leather flip flops ($200!), but they are insanely comfortable and I have worn them to death. Keep in mind that this is not 1973, so don't get too carried away when working this look. But done in the right way, Groupie Chic is a classic look that never goes out of style.



To complete the look, modern bell bottoms by J Brand
