I was recently invited by the amazing team at
Manhattan Vintage to attend their show in Manhattan on Friday Feb. 3rd.
With my love for vintage fashion you know I couldn't say no!
When you first walk in there's a Jean-Paul Gaultier: Lingerie Through The Ages exhibit that shows gorgeous Vintage Lingerie.
As I walked up the white stairs, I immediately fell in love again with the familiar smell of the clothing from the past with untold stories and style that one may think is long forgotten.

When I go to any vintage show I go in without a plan as to what I'm looking for. It's more of a feeling, a vibe some may call it that draws me to the booths themselves and the amazing vendors that are there.

Each booth is different from the next. Rarely having the same design but if by some miraculous chance they do you get to choose what color you love most.
Yellow or Blue?

I'm not one to look for fur but these two pieces made me feel like I could be on the cover of Vogue Magazine.

The hoodie was made with woven fur and was the lightest and softest hoodie I've ever worn.
I felt this piece helped bring out my silly personality, can you tell!

The vest was astonishing. It's perfect to layer over a jacket, over a sweater or even just a simple t-shirt could be worn with this. Lisa, the shop owner had a great idea of adding a belt to show off every woman's figure.

The vendors themselves at the show were so much fun to be around. Those I've spoken to were funny, kind and really down to earth.

Meagan & Amanda from Spark Pretty were so much fun to talk to. They immediately picked up on some of my vintage Betsey Johnson pieces I was wearing and turns out they worked for her around the time they were designed! That's what I love about vintage fashion because even if you don't know the story, someone else can tell it to you.
The show is still going on but today is the last day!
If you're in the city you should definitely go and check out all the beautiful booths and people there.
Here are the links to the shop websites that were shown above.
