Sizzling Runway Style- Vena Cava Resort 2011

Fell head over heels in LOVE with this collection! It is the perfect mix of everything a girl would want for the summer: perfect shorts, cute summer dress, crochet tops and for the lovers of bold fashion, yes there is a jumpsuit! My next few vintage hunts I will be inspired with these images in mind, thank you Vena Cava!

I like The Like

A super cool video that Gia Coppola shot for Zac Pozen featuring the rockin' rad band The Like. I love the vintage vibe, the music is good and the clothes are amazing!

Feeling Frustrated

The Rolling Stones put it perfectly when they sang "You can't always get what you want", it's life and it happens occasionally to everyone, I guess right now is one of those times for me. Why, you ask? Well first off it's taking longer than expected to move into the new place and secondly, getting the new inventory photos for The Salon Mystique VTG Shop is being delayed. My apologies to all of my faithful followers, new stuff will be up soon, I promise : )

So I found some great editorials that captured the essence of feeling frustrated. I also listened to the song Fortress by Pinback and now I'm am feeling a lot less frustrated. It always pays off to take frustration and funnel it into a form of creativity. Enjoy!

The Best of Bike Fashion

I've been looking for inspiration all over the web to find the best and most unique bike fashions. I for one always need new ideas for what to wear while riding, I always end up wearing the same kind of thing.

While on my search for the best cycling fashions on the net I came across this awesome site called vélocouture. This site offers a great variety of bike fashion from all over the world, next time you need some help on what to wear while riding, this is a great place to start!

Here are some of my favorite shots:

That's How I Roll - Anything but plain, please

What I choose to wear day to day is determined by weather I am on my bike or not. When I am on my bike the go to garment has definitely got to be leggings, they are easy to wear, stylish, comfortable and you can still wear your favorite dress or skirt without worrying about giving a free peep show. Having style while I'm on two wheels is pretty important to me and what can I say, I guess I'm a little vain.

That said, I have tons of pairs of the same old plain black leggings and this sent me on a quest to find something a little bit different to break up the monotony of my bike outfits. I scoured Etsy to bring you all my favorite legging finds.

Leather Like Details

These leggings may look like they are just basic black, but this beautiful pair has a great spandex patch detail that looks a little like leather. Unleash your inner bad girl!

Tie it up

I love the dainty tie detail at the bottom of these leggings, super cute! A great pair to wear with a super cool skirt. These leggings will make your outfit stand out above the rest!

I adore these hand painted leggings! The gold detailing is subtle and stunning at the same time. A great way to add a flash of sparkle, super cool!

A touch of Class

This cute pair has a hint of Missoni behind them. Love it! Would look amazing with a white lace dress or skirt. How awesome are these?

Tattoo like Tights

Alright, so I know these aren't technically leggings but what they are is technically awesome! I love the illusion of having a tattoo on your legs. I'm sure that these get tons of attention when worn. Amazing!
