sequins please!

Style lush is in full swing! Between photo shoots, personal shopping/closet styling -- life is full and good.  I can't forget about the blog so I'm doing a little revamp- sharing short, sweet little details of life and style.  I'm sure you'll love... shall we proceed ::

Today I'm off for some vintage shopping at my FAVORITE spot- Buffalo Exchange.  Located in lovely central Las Vegas on Maryland Parkway and Flamingo ave (GHETTO) it's been my go to spot since I was 18 walking there from my UNLV dorm room.  It's a great spot to take your gently used wardrobe, shoes and accessories and trade them for new digs.  You can even get cash back but I always choose to shop- their one of a kind pieces are to die for.  It's my little secret- no one ever believes I get my most amazing fits for under $15.  shhhhhh--

When you're in NYC take the subway to Brooklyn's Buffalo Exchange -- its worth the trip :) Stop at Coyote Ugly for a shot of crown royal first like I did-- nobody likes shopping on an empty stomach. 

Speaking of  vintage, lets take a quick minute to pay homage to My FAVORITE vintage detail: SEQUINS AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! Everyone is saying their back but I mean realistically, they never left, ever!  Women fear sequins-- don't!!  Just be careful- don't do "cheap sequins" The good ones are heavier, and not as light on your wallet.  Don't get me wrong you can find amazing pieces at places like forever 21 just use your style gut- quality over quantity.  You'll know the difference but I'll show you some no no's just so you're sure-- here are some of MY favorites -- on ME and in stores NOW

examples of .. things to pass on:

loud, a little tacky and just doesn't sit well on even the model.

the flimsy texture and borderline cheesy design can be left on the shelf. - not my favorite.
