Shoptalk: California Select

photo cred: California Select

American Apparel has done it again, no no no not creep you out with some of the underage looking models in soft core porn poses. American Apparel has lunched their own very vintage ebay site called California Select. The store is filled with one of the trends of the moment gear from the 1980’s as well as many other decades past. I have to give AA a hand on the eclectic selections made by their “tastemakers” (I could run with the use of the term tastemakers but I’m not) picking items like a 60’s floral dress to 70’s disco jumpsuit. Hell, what would you expect from the store that brought you high waisted silver lamé leggings? California Select items are also available in store at limited locations (sorry no NoCal locations) with plans to open a non ebay online store in the future but for now you can take a risk and place a bid!

Lust Must: Elizabeth and James Vintage Jane Dress

photo cred: revolve clothing

Say what you will about Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s personal style…..bag lady, hobo, homeless chic, baby prostitute, mix matched mess, trendsetters, style icons, risk takers, hipster princesses. One new thing Iwant to add about MK and Ashley is that these two ladies know what to do as far as designing fashions for others. I have been impressed with their contemporary designer line named for their younger sister and older brother Elizabeth and James since its fall 2007 launch. The line is supposed to be their more reasonable (by Hollywood standards) price point than the higher end designer line The Row. All that being said I am currently drooling over this wonderful Vintage Knit Jane Dress which is the perfect mix of casual due to the fabric/ frills and dressed up due to the super sexy low back. Now I’m not the kind of girl that can afford to just spend $374, but I can always lust after this beautiful blue dress. If the 374 price tag is in your budget you can pick it up at Revolve Clothing orShopbop .
