I'm In Miami!

STRIPES&HIGH WASTED JEANS!white.blue.gold.gray/green.

First of all, I want to give a warm 'Welcome' to my new followers!
WELCOME TO ELAINE VON VINTAGE!
I'm so excited you guys chose to follow me.
And I just want to Thank you dearly.
So, yet again, I ventured to the lovely township of Troy to do a photo shoot in the
'rich' side of Somerset. I wanted to do the whole hungry look (Meaning: Over sized clothing). But I decided, what the hey, I should dress up! The only down fall to
high waisted jeans, the lingering thought: "Do I have a camel toe". So apologizes
in advance if you have to witness. But other than, enjoy!

Secret Excitement!

PREVIEW&FUN!gray.black.brown.gold.starbucks.

Today was a special day.
I had the honor to ventured out to Royal Oak to meet up with a local blogger
here in the Metro area to do a mini interview for my blog.
(Which will be featured on: FreeStyle In Detroit). The entire time, as I
was sipping on my Chai Tea and pretending not to let 'Trish' who was capturing the
memories, I was in pure utter giggly excitement. I couldn't believe I was sitting there
answering questions that I've only read when other bloggers are featured. I feel really
blessed and thankful for this amazing opportunity. This day has been so amazing.
And I can't get the image of someone wanting to get to know me on a personal level
as well to figure out why I do my blog. Today, will always keep me going. I love it.
I'm very Thankful. Thank you Alvita (PS: THANK YOU FOR THE VOGUE! LOVE!).

Always Finding Something New In My Closet!

OLD&NEW TREASURES!white.black.gray.

Yet again, I stumble into my closet and find Old&New Treasures. I get
overwhelmed with excitement. I feel like I just went shopping. I've come to realize,
I adore winter. I love over sized sweaters and the layering. That day, the shorts
took over my mind and made me think I wanted HOT, HOT, OVERLY HOT weather.
No, you can't be cute in the summer. Okay, enough of small talk. Come, enjoy.




I can't believe I 'forgot' that I had this lovely piece.
This holy over sized sweater is love. So many things you can do it with.

Along with this lovely piece. Forgotten treasure. I remember,
a friend of mine (Jerilyn Jordan) and I switched.
And I was very lucky to end up with this lovely cream over sized sweater. Love.

I just recently purchased this lovely over sized coat/jacket/whatever.
I'm in love. But I haven't found the 'proper' way to include it in an outfit. I will.
But randomly, I would wear it as a coat. And man does it keep me all warm and fuzzy.

Stripes! Stripes! Stripes!

SAILOR INSPIRED&GOLD SHOES!gold.white.blue.black.

Could this outfit be anymore clique. I mean stripe shirt with an huge
anchor. Black tailored shorts with gold 'sailor' like buttons. And let's not forget,
Michigan is still the height of winter. I pumped gas before work. I got the disapproval
stares of; "Why are you wearing shorts. It's cold". But my argument would of been;
"Well, I'm wearing tights". I cannot wait for the beautiful-ness of Spring.
I'm so over coats and scarfs and etc.

It's All About That Dress!

NEW DREAMS&OLD DREAMS!black.light brown. denim blue. cream. pink.

As we all know, Martin Luther King Jr Birthday was Monday.(which was yesterday).
Anyways, I decided to be girly and dress up for the occasion of the fact that
He changed the world. It might have been small, but to me, it's a big deal.
Today, I decided to ventured out into the cold and icy streets to thrift. Found
two amazing items (I think are amazing) that I will share. So, come on, look!

So, I decided to just go ahead and start updating with:
'What I wore today'. It's Friday and I wanted to bring out the big bang.
