Totally 70s.

NicolasVintage on Etsy, 70's Vintage Ethnic Dashiki Caftan, $58

After some serious Etsy shopping, I came across NicolasVintage, a fabulous shop heavily inspired by the 1970′s. I became obsessed with a Vintage Ethnic Dashiki Caftan – not only are the colors rich and vibrant, but it’s a serious steal at $58.

The seller has great taste and everything is fairly priced. Below are a few of my other favorites.

70s Vintage EThnic Dashiki Tunic, $35

Black Wool Feathered Beret, $24

Vintage Mexican Embroidered Mini Dress, $42

Daily Diamond: The new skinny.

J Brand "Houlihan" Skinny Cargo Pant, Intermix.com, $231 {image from T Magazine}

Available in mid-February at Intermix, J Brand’s “Houlihan” Skinny Cargo Pants are expected to fly off the shelves. With skinny cargoes from Gap to Balmain, J Brand offers a nice middle of the road option. I foresee this trend to extinguish quickly so I plan to opt for the Gap pair.

Will you get the splurge, steal, or middle-of-the-road option?

The finishing touch.

February 2nd, 2010 by Ruth

I finally understand Rae Graham’s fond appreciation for typeface. After seeing these rubber stamps on Paperwink, I too have become obsessed. The type used within these stamps brings character and life to each owner. For under $22, you can add a classy, stylist finishing touch to your handwritten correspondence. Now, the question is which one will you choose?
