Apartment 8 Clothing Pin-Up Style

The local brand Apartment 8 Clothing has been known to carry a lot of clean-cut and structured pieces. i dropped by their store over at Alabang Town Center and was immediately impressed by their array of colors.  I loved how they carried several designs of circle skirts. Their look is a bit modern and edgy, but being pin-up taking a circle skirt with the right color and accessories I now have a perfect outfit. Seriously loving their items and will definitely be heading back for more!

This off-shoulder top reminds me Rita Hayworth, or Dorthy Dandridge in Carmen.

Las Vegas Vintage Shopping 

  Vegas is one of the best city’s for vintage finds. The glamour of Vegas 1960s still lingers in the air. The feel of the Rat Pack drinking their whisky and Elvis singing his heart out. The desert heat, the new money and eccentric personalities all make Vegas the sin of all cities.  Main St. is this amazing boulevard of shops. So many pinup shops full of beautiful gowns and unique clothing straight from mid-century.  11721339_10152889811517587_1278720406_n 11759679_10152889811532587_1935043892_n 11774250_10152889811527587_1962865277_n 11774362_10152889811522587_348885554_n

When shopping in vintage stores you really have to be patient and really go treasure hunting. I found myself a few nylon scarves. I spent a good 2 hours lingering between shops. Stumbling upon old issues of Time magazine, vinyl records, posters, white gloves, trinkets from all over.

                                 Retro Vegas had the best collection of authentic mid-century furniture. I wanted to buy everything!             Not everything stays in Vegas.
