Denim Days!!

I have been on a huge denim kick as of lately! I seriously have been scouring the thrift stores for every piece of denim. And I work in a denim shop!! As some of you may know, I work at AG jeans. I know, I know, I never wear jeans right? Well, I do love denim but I have to be in jeans everyday for work so when I'm off and out and about I always side step the denim. But lately, with all my shopping and catching up on my magazine subscriptions, I noticed how much I love the denim being shown this year. AG has some amazing cuts and styles coming out, so I'm stoked for that of course. But, Chloe, A.P.C., Current Elliot and Stella McCartney all have really fantastic pieces being shown!! Can I afford those? Absolutely not. So I take on the local thrift stores and estate sales to find the perfect pieces to achieve these designer looks. Here is one that I found a couple weeks ago that is pretty much a dead ringer for the A.P.C. Madras I love!

I have the hardest time finding denim skirts that look cute on me. This weekend was my lucky thrifting experience! 2 denim skirts that fit like a glove and an awesome vintage denim Levi's jacket. Not only did i find thrift treasures, I went to H&M and actually walked out with a load of cuteness! Including the outfit I wore to my Bonanza Vintage sale today! So for the next few weeks I will be alternating my new found denim with different pieces. Here are a few ideas so far. (Skirts and Jacket are all thrifted along with sweater and white dress)

This is my Bonanza Vintage attire!! 

Dress: H&M

Jacket: H&M

Tights: Anthropologie

Boots: Thrifted

Juniors Cropped Sweater: Thrifted

Belt: Thrifted

*This skirt had an awful belt attached, so I removed it and stitched it up and added my own belt:)

Hat: Vintage swap

Vest: U.O.

Skirt:Thrifted

*This skirt was to my ankle(and Im a tall girl!!) so I had to cut it off. Debating on hemming it or letting it fray....your thoughts??

 

Vintage Juniors Levis Red Tab Jacket: Thrifted

White Little Girls Vintage Slip: Thrifted

Yellow Crinoline: Anthropologie

Now for 3 of the many things I got at H&M!!

The ultimate jacket, made entirely from recycled materials, so plush and girly!! The recycled denim puff sleeve blouse, so soft I could wear it everyday. And my new staple, the tiered denim dress. Love, Love, Love, Love!!

The vintage summer sales are upon us!!! Max & Chloe is happy to announce two upcoming shows where we will be slinging some amazing vintage pieces!! Summer dresses, oodles and oodles of accessories and shoes galore!! There will even be a $5 rack full of goodies that need a home!!

Sun, Sun, Sun...

Chicago was absolutely gorgeous today! 81 degrees and sunny. I got up so excited to put on my new dress and hat, which was perfect for the weather. I have been waiting and waiting to wear this late 50's light blue number. It's my little Zooey Deschanel dress, very similar to the one she wears in 500 days of summer in Ikea. And can we just talk about my new big bow hat! It was just the perfect finish to the outfit. I have been definitely going a little mad with the shopping this season. So many great lines are out there that I have been coming across, either from other bloggers or style.com. Not to mention, Anthropologie, my safety store. The last two days off I've had have been spent in thrift stores or vintage shops. I got an adorable denim skirt at Knee Deep Vintage the other day and this little blue number came from Pilsen Vintage. Buying unnecessary things are definitely my favorite things to buy. Oh, check out the fabric I got the other day for my Etsy back drop.

 James arrived to pick me up at 9:30 and 2 lattes later we set out for a beautiful day off! First stop estate sale. I found so much loveliness for myself and Max & Chloe Vintage. Dresses, skirts and jewelry. So perfect for the upcoming vintage sales!! Look at how gorgeous the netted gloves are!! 

Next stop, Ikea! It is so so easy to get caught up in the vortex of Ikea. But we stayed on track and even managed to take a few pictures along the way. 

Adorable fabric section!! I want to make so really cute pillows and drapes:)

Playing house in a pretend kitchen! And the perfect picture for my perfect hat!

James looking dapper reading a faux book and check out the awesome light fixture! I think I need it!!

So many things and jewelry!!

This week is hopefully going to prove to be productive and fun for Max & Chloe Vintage. I have recently gotten so many new things to list and for a couple vintage shows coming up in the next few weeks!! One Show is going to be on April 25th, Sunday at Berlin on Belmont Ave and the second will be on May 1st and 2nd at Heaven's Gallery on 1554 N Milwaukee. More details to come soon. Since booking these events, I have been searching and hunting for only the best items!! And man oh man, will ya all be pleased. I'm collecting a little bit of everything. 60's dresses, 50's blouses, shoes, jewelry, hats and handbags galore!!! I am so excited!!

Until then, here are some photos from last Monday evening in my stairwell. Nothing fantastic about this outfit really, my favorite new tights, and my old trusting boots. However, the jewelry is quite fab. All from Joules Jewels!!

1. Floral Sweater Cardigan- Forever 21

2. Ruffled Navy Dress- J.Crew

3. Tights- H&M

3. Burgundy 1970's Boots- Thrifted

4. Wind up Watch and Gold & Onyx Ring- Joules Jewels

Sick day = Boredom

The last couple of days I have been feelin a little under the weather. Didn't do much considering I couldn't really move. I hate days like this because I never like a day that isn't productive in some way. So I propped a pillow behind me and took this opportune time to blog and list an item on etsy. 

I took a few pictures the other day on my actual day off and never got around to post them. I had gone to Anthropologie on Thursday and got this sweet little cardigan. I seriously can not go in there without purchasing something. But I feel like this little number will go with just about everything. This time around I paired it with a 1960's shift dress that I absolutely adore! It's always my go to dress when I don't know what to wear. 

Navy Blue Cardigan with Crocheted Trim- Anthropologie

1960's Brown and White Shift Mini Dress-Thrifted

Navy Striped Tights- H&M

Navy Boots- Thrifted

I also had a little photo shoot Tuesday afternoon with a young talent. Justin Bentley is currently in school here in Chicago for Photography. He asked if I would like to help him with a project for a fashion shoot and in turn I get a photo for my etsy. 

1980's Red Silk Floral and Ruffles Dress S-M

Being under the weather does not help my wallet at all! Online shopping and catching up on fashion blogs really do get me into trouble! About 5 new vintage dresses later and the new She and Him Album, I was worn out from my online shopping spree. I do adore the new She and Him album! I really am so envious of Zooey's voice. I am however very pleased to see she has changed her wardrobe choices. Less Poly and more cotton and rayon. Wise choice Zooey!
