Los Angeles Looks

I was searching L.A. Street Style site Hi Styley to get some spring outfit inspiration and it didn't disappoint! Here are some of my fave style shots from the streets of Los Angeles!

I'm digging how these looks are very modern yet have a familiar vintage feel to them. Love, love loving the neutral colors too!!

Mercinary Clothing Look Book Collaboration

Aside from running the Salon Mystique vintage shop, I am also a hairstylist and makeup artist. I have long ago given up working in a salon for a variety of reasons (including nasty chemicals) instead of working behind the chair, I really love using my talents for styling hair and make up for photo shoots. It's so rewarding to see some amazing final images in front of you.

The last shoot I worked on was for a small clothing line out of LA called Mercinary. It's only a sneak peek of the entire lookbook, but I love it nonetheless. Mercinary has really cute, ultra fantastic clothes and I was so happy to take part in a great project with amazing people. More to come soon!

Lounging

I fell off the grid for a while and wow! what a long week it's been! My birthday started a week long celebratory party, followed by the 4th of July. Now it's time to settle back into the swing of things; I am glad because sometimes it takes some time off to want to jump back into it all!

This post is dedicated to those who may have partied too much and need to feel comfortable yet stylish.

Hey Ho, Let's Go! An ode to The Ramones

Yesterday I was waiting for my boyfriend to get ready (funny, right?) when suddenly this song understandably gets stuck in my head. It got me thinking about how much the Ramones influence my personal style throughout the years.

I must admit that I have always been a fan and back in the day I would more often thank not rock some version of ripped jeans, sneakers and a pair of Converse but now-a-days my style mostly centers around a leather jacket. Getting this classic song stuck in my head reminded me of the Ramones box set that I owned in High School and how I would listen to The Ramones when I was getting ready for school, but I digress...

Here is an ode to The Ramones and their impeccable and influential style.

Trends that you can bike in

Recently one of my friends suggested that I should have a post about bike fashion. What a great idea! Sometimes it seems hard to find something that is both functional and fashionable for girls that ride fixed gear or single speed bikes. It is challenging at times to find the right shoes and sometimes I want to wear something other than my go-to staple: long leggings. With riding in mind I searched for collections that mixed high fashion with riding sensibilities

These outfit pairings + whatever shoes that are comfortable to ride in = fashionable function

 

 

Fashion Featured and New Vintage

Hello all!

Recently we have decided to change the photos that we have on our shop. Instead of doing the usual catalog style, we have decided to shoot our merch outside to create more of an atmosphere. I love this new way of showcasing the clothes, it is a lot more natural although shooting outside is much more of a challenge at times.

The last shoot was so windy that most of the clothing shots didn't turn out, but luckily there were a few that made it yay! Our model, Mona, was fantastic!

We have actually had a great response; we were featured in this month's issue of Endorphinum ezine in the fashion section. Check it out!

Here are some more recent shots and clothing from Salon Mystique.
