Denim and Dethrose

For all of you that know me, you know I manage a designer denim store Ag Jeans. Now while I love the denim there and thinks it fits better than any other denim brand out there, you rarely see me in denim. Even though I wear it on a daily basis. So while getting ready for work the other morning, I decided to give you a peek of what I dress like on a daily basis to go to work.

Denim: Adriano Goldschmied (AG Jeans)

Sweater: H&M

50's Sunglasses: Kokorokoko

Necklace: Beads are thrifted and gold leaf is a pin that I got at an estate sale

Floral Headband: H&M

Woven Sandals: Thrifted

This weekend was hands down the best weekend of the summer. I won't give you all the dirty details but work is better than ever. And you know what makes a job even better? When you are finally recognized for all the hard work you do. And what's a better way for your company to say thank you?? All access passes to Lollapalooza!!!! Oh My Goodness! Friday was amazing with the Strokes! Saturday was fantastic with Phoenix and let me just tell you Sunday with Arcade Fire was unbelievable. I'm someone who is moved by music in a big way. It sets the tone of my day, it inspires me to do more and it encourages me. So Sunday night's show was very close to me. Yes, I cried but as I looked around, I wasn't the only one. I can't thank my Job enough for giving me the opportunity to have been there.

On another note, Dethrose Vintage just added some new items and had hard markdowns on the old. The discounts are already in account and are noted SALE. 50% off before Fall 2010 isn't too shabby!! Can I just tell you how great and balanced I am finally feeling with Ag and Dethrose. And the balance of Inventory in Dethrose right now. I'm excited and I hope you all are too!!!

Don't forget to mark your calendars! August 22nd at 12 to 7pm at Congress Theater, The Vintage Bazaar!!

Hello Daddy, Hello Mom!

I awoke late, very late today after a night of soul and good friends. I didn't really have a day planned out. I just knew that when night came I was going to see The Runaways movie. For those of you who might not know, I always dreamed of being a lead singer in a band. A pock rock girl band. As a teenager, my fav bands were The Clash, Le Tigre, X-Ray Spex, Rancid and other various punk or metal bands. I know I drove my mother crazy listening to this and dressing the way I did, getting tattooed, stretching my ears and dying my hair various colors. So when my style changed, more refined and less rough she could breath a sigh of relief. But seeing this movie brought it all back! I wanted to put on a Blondie album and grab my leather! 

Now, I was quite skeptical when I heard of this movie being made. Mostly because of the casting. I'm not a huge fan of Kristen Stewart. She seems like a one sided actress and frankly her mannerisms can be quite annoying. So when they said she was going to play Joan Jett, I was a bit confused. And I wasn't sure how to feel about Dakota Fanning as Cherie Curry. No real opinion about her but uncertainty. However, I saw the movie tonight and well, I was happily surprised. Only a few Kristen Stewart mannerisms slipped through, mostly she WAS Joan Jett! Tough rock ambiguous chick. And Dakota Fanning, she was very convincing. She had Cherie's voice and moves down. It was interesting, enjoyable and the music freakin rocked! It did make me wanna watch Freaks and Geeks really bad. I always thought I was born in the wrong era, and I have been told that repeatedly. It's usually various decades and tonight it was the 70's. 

Earlier in the day, full of errands and running around, I managed to make it to the last day of the vintage Spring Fling Sale. Jillian from Joules Jewels Vintage was selling there and I had to go and see what awesome vintage she would be selling. And Oh my was i glad I did! It ended up being quite the amazing day!! I found an amazing leather jacket, perfect for watching The Runaways. A few dresses, watch, ring and bumping into a few other lovely vintage gals, it was great. I took a few photos but I will have to take more of my findings later.

Among other little tasks today, I managed to take an outfit post photo of a couple of the new goodies and some etsy photos that I will list on Max & Chloe Vintage this week.

Lastly, I would like to say, when I make these little posts and I mention my day and personal experiences, do not assume everything is what it seems. Not everything may be about one person specifically. So please, do not take things personally. I'm trying not to as well. Hope you all a pleasant weekend.
