The Olsens

Did you know that I have an obsession with the Olsen twins... nope - I'm not embarrassed by this at all :) These ladies have style and I love everything about the way they dress... I have an old pair of jeans (my hubby hates) that I'm going to chop into cut off shorts like the look Ashley is wearing above...
And as for the bag Mary Kate is wearing (in the middle photo) is that a vintage 20s piece? Anyway, it's quite lovely.

Luisa Beccaria Fall 2012 RTW

Came across these gorgeous images of Luisa Beccaria's collection and I love everything about it. Just thought I would share :)

not your granny's bag

For the greatest while (in the beginning) I've only sold vintage handbags and luckily build relationships with customers based on this fact. Somehow as years gone by and I've continued to scout and sell vintage, I've open my shop to featuring just more than purses. Mod Human now has an array of vintage jewelry, shoes, scarves and dresses. This is certainly a great thing but I must admit that sometimes on rare occasions, I miss focusing on my first vintage love... the glorious handbag. Why? Because I'm forever infatuated with how women can mix and match their wardrobe to compliment any... yes any vintage handbag available.

Modern + Vintage

I love showcasing various ways to wear vintage clothing and handbags!
Above are two simple options for pairing a classic 1960s Rolf Leather Handbag (in it's traditional Kelly style.)
This beauty can be dressed up and/or down... the decision is yours.

Karen Walker / Spring 2012 RTW

Karen Walker is a genius in my book... my ideal 'fashion industry' best friend. (By the way, I have a ton of 'scenario' best friends. Her Spring 2012 RTW collection is amazing and will fit perfectly in my post pregnancy wardrobe. Vintage inspired lines are always the best, and she hit the nail on the head with this one!

the full effect...

On a random trip to the thrift store, I happen to come across a slew of gorgeous vintage Full Skirts. My intentions were to add them to the shop however I've now decided to keep for myself and wear to work... Since experimenting with the 'full effect' look , I've drawn plenty of inspiration on just how to wear these chic skirts without letting one overpower my petite frame.
