Antique Chic

May 20, 2008

Shop

Try as you might, you can’t quite master the vintage look. Faded Stones t-shirts and musty-smelling minidresses may be chic, but they only make you look like a homeless hippie.

Channel another era by wearing retro close to your heart from the cutest new gift shop in town, impromptu and pick up one of their signature Barking Maddison necklaces. For $40, you get two pendants in one – a gorgeous soft floral wallpaper on one side, a retro paisley on the other. The New York artist behind the line hunts for wallpaper sample books at antique stores and flea markets for a totally unique take on jewelry.

Leave mod to Ms. Moss and glam grunge to Ashlee – and wear a throwback in time around your neck.

Ps

Everyone’s favorite wine bar, The Corkscrew, is holding a free merengue class this Thursday, May 22, from 7 – 8 p.m. Groove to the sounds of a Cuban salsa band and sip on sangria ’til midnight. Bribe your man by promising him an expertly hand-rolled cigar.
