EAT YOUR BRUXELLES SPROUTS

There definitely has been a backpack moment brewing the last few years.  The kids are all wearing backpacks - be they vintage Chanel or monogram MCM.  However, if you march to a different drummer, maybe it's time to go Bruxelles chic and invest in Delvaux, a brand older than Hermes and certainly parallel in quality.  Delvaux had a store in LA on Sunset Blvd over twenty years ago that always had my interest but didn't last long on the strip.  People simply didn't know Delvaux's history (it was founded in 1829), but this bag  came from a sophisticated Angeleno who ventured to Delvaux and found this unusual backpack with straps connected to a brass ring and unusual wooden "pole".  One enters the bag via the zippered compartment, but there is also a nice outside pocket on the other side, too.  I like this bag because it doesn't look like anyone else's design.  Isn't that why we love vintage?  To have something that looks original!

So 80's!

Remember the 80s ZZ Top song "She's Got Legs"? Well, here are two dresses from the era of that song that will surely guarantee the hum of "She's Got Legs" as you walk pass a construction site...then again, if you are wearing one of these dresses walking pass a construction site, we are fearful scaffolding will drop just a low as the construction worker's jaws!

We love that both dresses manage to subtly use pailette sequins. The black Emanuel Ungaro Parallele dress is a simple tank stuff with a taffeta trim skirt. Perfect for dancing the night away.

The second option was sold by retailer Linda Dressner, but we don't know who designed it. It's quite clever. The illusion of being two pieces, the tank portion has an asymmetric hem that appears to not attach to the slim hipped skirt, but it's all one piece. We think you will love the sapphire color, too.
