Shops for Vintage Denim in NYC

Vintage stores can be hit or miss, but when we heard that Bella Hadid hunts for her Levi’s at The Vintage Twin in New York, we knew it had to be good. Run by twins Morgan and Samantha Elias, the sisters search around the world for their impressive collection of denim and vintage clothes.

 Their online store features some of their finds, but they also run two pop-up shops in NYC. Each has a “JEANius Bar” where they specialize in finding the perfect fit and size for their It-girl clients. They also do custom pieces, like the reworked leather jacket and camo coat they recently designed for Cara Delevingne.


If you’re interested in seeing more, make sure to follow them on Instagram. They often post what their fashion girl fans have unearthed at their stores. Alexa Chung snagged a vintage tee and leather trench coat, pulling off Françoise Hardy vibes. And blogger Danielle Bernstein of We Wore What found a checked blazer and ankle cropped jeans.

Whether you’re after the perfect pair of vintage Wranglers or a worn-in band tee, The Vintage Twin is worth a visit.

Fashion Themed Halloween Costumes

If you’re a fashion lover, dressing like your favorite fashion person for Halloween just makes sense. If you liked my first post on fashion themed Halloween costumes, then you’re definitely going to like this post. Read on to see how you can dress like the industries top folks.

Lady Gaga- Lady Gaga has had plenty of high fashion moments. She has looked amazing in all of her performance and music video looks over the years. One of my favorite Lady Gaga fashion moments was when she dressed like the female version of Skeleton Boy for her Born This Way music video. This look is all about the makeup. There are plenty of tutorials online on how to perfect this makeup look. You’ll mostly need matte black  and white  shadow to make this look your own.

Kate Moss- If you want to go for a Kate Moss costume, I suggest aiming for her heroine chic days. Pick up a slip dress and some heels. Make your hair look sleek yet messy, and then be sure to add some matte brown powder below your lash line. Also make sure that you contour your cheeks to take heroine chic over the edge

Cara Delevinge- Cara is known for her straight blonde hair, brows and kooky personality. For her look, don a white tank top, some super skinny jeans along with a pair of converse. Add a beanie or a backwards cap and some eyebrow filler for an uncanny costume..

Iris Apfel- An Iris Apfel costume is all about the big round glasses. Wear a cropped white wig, plenty of costume jewelry and a loose colorful outfit. You’re all set for the perfect fashion costume.
