Shark's Vintage Love

When I decided I was going to begin blogging about fashion, style, vintage stores, and diy/handmade clothing it seemed natural for me to feature my favorite shopping spots. In the near future expect to see stories on my favorite east bay thrift stores, swap meets, vintage stores, shops with handmade goods, and yard/garage sale finds. But for my christening voyage I'm clearly Featuring SHARK'S VINTAGE in Berkleley.



This is one of my East Bay faves! With dozens of cowboy boots and a nice selection of vintage shoes from the 40's to the 80's how could you go wrong? But footwear isn't the only thing worth checking out at Shark's! It's full to the brim with all kinds of vintage finds. Some of my most notable finds include a short white nike tennis dress with blue and red stripes down the front and a pink calico prairie skirt. I also coveted a vintage speedo swimsuit at the beginning of summer that I somehow avoided running in and grabbing during my breaks from work for weeks!




So if you like good quality, inspired, and eclectic vintage shopping hit up this favorite of mine!

what i'm coveting for fall.

Ever since i saw the D&G 2008 F/W RTW show I have been coveting this plaid dress! I love D&G's use of multiple plaids and ruffles to create texture. I can't imagine that i would be wearing this dress with all the other plaids but the idea is in my brain and won't leave so we'll see. maybe the daring and experimental gracie will pop out and mix and match some plaids or stripes!

THESE Clark's Desert Boots are MINE for FALL.I will invest what i must for these staple mod boots. I've coveted them for years and I'm convinced that now is the time. Boots like these can be worn with anything from a sharp skinny pants suit to the plaid dress above to a cute pencil skirt and polo shirt. I am all over them!
