The vintage California surfer-inspired look is back in a big way. JWLA visualizes taking the American classic t-shirt and feminizing it with 1970s one-of-a-kind embroidery in vibrant colors. Over the past decade, JWLA has perfected its handcrafted look, attracting a devoted global following for its lived–in aesthetic. Along with the classic embroidered t-shirt, JWLA has introduced feminine dresses, cozy hoodies, wraps, knit tunics, and a must-have knit coat. The Christina Cowl Neck Dress three-quarter sleeve pullover dress showcases JWLA's pretty floral and dot embroidery around the bottom hem and back yoke. You’ll love the soft cowl neck style collar in a rounded v-neck cut. Slip into the comfort of the dramatically romantic Donatella Basic Dress any time a statement needs to be made. The pretty floral embroidery around the front bodice and hem is only the beginning. The high-waist cinch provides a flattering fit and the v-neck cut shows just enough. JWLA continues to surprise and delight its loyal followers by developing a look defined as California surfer chic.

Founded in 2009 by 29 year old designer Micah Cohen, Los Angeles-based SHADES of GREY by Micah Cohen offers a complete collection of contemporary, wearable clothing, updated with progressive styling and details. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Micah’s multi-cultural heritage and diverse upbringing influence his design philosophy, infusing his designs with unique perspective and balance. Blurring fashion forward with traditional, SHADES of GREY offers a fresh take on timeless simplicity. The SHADES of GREY aesthetic is clean, youthful and sophisticated with a unique perspective that balances the past, present and future.

Cohen has an original procedure of design that involves literally writing out his entire idea before sewing the first stitch. His connection to each piece shows with crisp details and accents that are never too flashy or over the top. It's no wonder auther/vocalist Brandon Boyd has sported SHADES of GREY in Incubus music videos. But Cohen doesn't like to brag about who is wearing his line. He chooses to distance himself from tabloids, celebrity appearances and marketing schemes because he never wants someone to wear his line just because a celeb did it first. The organic connection that his customers have to the line is based on style and feel instead of trend. SHADES of GREY is such a timeless clothing line that a trend couldn't contain the breadth of his design.

In a world of black and white extremes, it’s good to know there is still SHADES of GREY. Check out our interview with founder/designer Micah Cohen from the Capsule Tradeshow in Las Vegas below and be sure to find SHADES of GREY on Zappos.com.

Wearing a piece of jewelry inspired by or from the Victorian or Edwardian era can be a great way to show appreciation for the past and delight in some of the jewels, gems and designs of an era gone by. Antique jewelry continues to be a popular addition to a vintage wardrobe, and you can incorporate different styles of earrings, brooches, necklaces and bracelets in several ways. Whether you’re heading out to a special luncheon or going to the theater, here are some ways to bring antique jewelry into your look:

Wear an Antique Brooch
Antique brooches and pins are a simple way to dress up your look in a flash, and are also a great conversation starter. Look for some classic brooches and pins at the vintage store to decorate your scarves, coats, or even to wear on your sweater.

Wear a Vintage Pendant
Amethyst, diamond drop, pave diamond and other gemstone-laden pendants that are embedded into hearts and obelisks are beautiful vintage jewelry pieces that are sure to turn a few heads. Vintage designs include oversized heart pendants, decorative balls and pendants designed with textured edging and swirls. When you’re wearing a shirt or blouse with a deep v-neck, this is the antique accessory you need.

Dress Up with Antique Earrings
Show off your glamorous side with a set of antique earrings shaped like insects, flowers, royal emblems or even human faces. Victorian-style earrings are often inspired by nature designs, while Art Deco style earrings may be designed in bold shapes. Antique or vintage earrings continue to be popular in every fashion season, so it’s just a matter of wearing it with the right clothing. Cocktail dresses, suits, dressy blouses and formal wear are just some complementary options for your antique earring collection.

Sport an Antique Choker
While the ’80s are most commonly associated with the bejeweled choker, the snugly fitting necklace can also be found in a number of vintage designs. A bold gold or silver choker embellished with embroidered lace, pearls and seed beads can dress up any plain outfit in a flash. From Gothic revival to sophisticated filigree designs, you can dress up for a special event with this vintage classic.

The ‘Lady Lynn’ is quite the fashion icon. She is always turned out in vintage designer pieces (a little Missoni here, and little YSL there), mixes high and low fashions, wears the most fabulous shoes this side of Vogue’s closet and never, ever looks like she is trying to fashionably hard. Having owned a vintage clothing boutique in the New England area, she knows a thing or two about clothes, how they fit and what works. Mix in her being uber fit, what more is there to say? Couture bows down to this BFF (that is beautiful fashionable female, in case you were not in the know).

It is not often that you hear shopkeepers say that items are too special to be sold in their store, but that is just what Mark Haddaway and Katy Rodriguez did with their special vintage finds. That is, until now. Come October 30, the co-owners of the Resurrection boutique in Manhattan, a 12-year-old veritable institution of vintage finds located in the East Village, will be auctioning off an expansive trove of vintage treasures through Christie’s auction house. Known for their discerning eye, many pieces up for auction represent significant time capsules in the fashion universe. The pieces up for auction are special indeed, with items from Paco Rabanne, Pierre Cardin, Norma Kamali, Vivienne Westwood and Yves Saint Laurent to name a few, making this an auction on which all fashionable curator eyes will be on. Simon Andrews, Christie’s specialist of 20th-century decorative art and design has categorized the lot into four categories: avant-garde pop culture, romanticism, discord and disorder of punk, and designer wear. Notable items such as the iconic Pierre Cardin bubble vinyl satellite cape circa 1969, represent the pop-art decade; T-shirts made by Westwood and Malcolm McLaren for the Sex Pistols and made famous by them, display the iconography of Union Jacks, upside-down crucifixes, “God save the Queen” and “Destroy” slogans, represent the anarchic decadence of discord and disorder, better known as the punk era; handmade leather pieces for Sly Stone during his Sly and The Family Stone heyday, mark the seventies decade of rock/punk; and items from Pierre Cardin and Yves Saint Laurent, represent the designer wear era of the ‘80s.

The Rabanne pieces, especially the chainmaille-esque wedding dress made of silver and white leather held together by metal rings, are expected to fetch the highest bids out of the entire lot. Regardless to what the duo’s lot brings in, it will be an interesting bidding session, surely with a little fisticuffs thrown in for good measure. What? Did you think all of those important vintage pieces would sell in a civilized fashion? Not!
