New York's "Look Book"

'm fairly certain that being featured in New York Magazine's "Look Book" is a goal for much of the city's population. I have a fairly concise mental outline of how I would describe my look. But that's neither here nor there.

Once again, I was not selected, but lip-synching, self-described "muse" Andre J was. While the afghan is certainly notable, I am more interested in the vintage Lanvin shades.

[Source: NYMag]


It turns out that vintage Lanvin shades are available at one of my favorite sites, PatriciaField.com. They also feature vintage styles by Burberry, Valentino and Versace. ALL FOR $60. LOVE.



Color: Rose
Cost: $60
Retailer: PatriciaField.com

Astonishingly priced vintage finds aside, my favorite part about P.F.'s site is her return policy:
Sunglasses Return Policy:

We understand the need to try on glasses, therefore all sunglasses are returnable within two weeks of purchase for a full credit card refund, minus the cost of shipping.
How perfectly reasonable! Guess who's getting herself some new flash?

Vau! only??? 60?? So cool.
These reminds me about mary-kate & ashley olsen and old-styled french women. Stylish!
No, it's not me on that pic :) But I would definitely mention if I post pic of my own!
And I totally love napoleonic look. Already have half a wardrobe that style ;) That's why I'm sad nobody knows anything about these jacket I post! Hopefully I'll find one... Somewhere.

F.M. said...

I'm a fan of all shades that dominate AT LEAST three-quarters of the face. Fashion victim? Mais non. Just protecting my face from the er, sun.

The Burberrys are stunning.
