Styling 101: Spring Shorts & Boho meets Mod Jewelry

Posted by sashamaks in event, fashion, jewelry, Outfit Posts, styling, trunk show, vintage jewelry on May 1st, 2013

There are a few major sartorial milestones throughout the year – The first time you need a coat in the Fall, when it’s time to break out the rain boots during the rainy season, and – Drumroll please – When the weather starts to warm up and it’s time to pull your shorts out of the back of your closet.

The perfect way to start sneaking in shorts while the weather has yet to even out is to add layers on top. This floral blazer is a great piece for transitional dressing because it adds a touch of traditional Spring style to the basic black shorts. Need more ideas for how to pair your shorts this Spring? Check out this Looks of the Week – Shorts Edition post for inspiration.

Fashion Blog Style, Tank Top and Maxi Skirt

The letterman inspired jacket has really struck a cord with me this season, and this Marni for H&M version has been a versatile version perfect for daytime looks and thrown over a a little cocktail number for evenings out. Here I’ve paired it with a striking periwinkle blue, maxi skirt. The richly enameled, vintage, Monet, geometric necklace echoes the accordion pleats of the skirt.

I’m really excited to be the featured stylist at The Factory’s Spring Collection Release Party, Voyage to Marrakech. Their online boutique is launching in May and it was a blast to style the boho chic looks inspired by YSL in Morocco in the louche 70s. Please RSVP here for the May 8th event. See the Facebook invitation here.
We hope to see you there!

Private Shopping w/ Sasha Maks Vintage and {The Factory Spring Collection Release Party May 8th w/ Styled by Sasha Maks!}

Posted by sashamaks in event, fashion, jewelry, Outfit Posts, styled by sasha maks, styling, trunk show, vintage jewelry on April 23rd, 2013

One thing that can easily take a look from mainstream to wholly unique is a one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry. I’ve always loved how a single addition – Say a statement necklace or dramatic cuff – Can change a look completely. And thus, my love affaire with vintage jewelry was born!

I was thrilled when I met Sasha Maks of Sasha Maks Vintage last fall – We struck up a conversation and decided to try out a collaboration, which eventually evolved into the Styling 101 series.

In addition to being able to shop the Sasha Maks Vintage online, a rare pleasure in the vintage world, you can also schedule an in-person, private browsing session. It’s such a fun, inspirational experience that I had to document my latest trip to her studio – Enjoy the pictures and try not to drool!

Styling 101: Easy Tips For Mixing Prints

Posted by sashamaks in fashion, jewelry, Outfit Posts, vintage jewelry on April 5th, 2013

Guest Post by Moi Contre La Vie

Animal prints for daytime can be a challenge to pull off – You want the look to be fun and eye-catching, but not tip the scales into tacky-ville. We’ve all seen one of those. And cringed. My number one tip for making an animal print – Or two – Daytime appropriate is to pair the printed piece and/or accessory with a solid colored piece. Black or white both make great contrasts, as would a more neutral hue like tan or nude.

{Check out outtakes from this shoot here – Just log into Facebook to view}

These Prabal Gurung for Target heels are going to be a staple for me this Spring. There’s very little I love more than an extremely versatile piece like these shoes – They’ll work great for daytime looks with florals or prints, and be the perfect finishing touch & pop of color for monochrome and nighttime looks like cocktail dresses. And yes, I know I need a 12 step program for Zara skater skirts…

Styling 101: St. Patrick’s Day Style

Posted by sashamaks in fashion, jewelry, Outfit Posts, vintage jewelry on March 15th, 2013

Guest Post by Moi Contre La Vie

To help get you in the mood for St. Patrick’s Day this year Sasha Maks Vintage and Moi Contre La Vie teamed up to bring you a fun take on a traditional green look for this holiday. Whether you’re planning to celebrate with a pub crawl, a dinner date, or making green four-leaf clovers with your kids, a sweet dress and fun statement jewelry with pops of green is definitely the answer!

{Sasha Maks Vintage Jewelry: Large Green Bead Necklace & Faux Pearl Strand Necklace}

{You can shop similar pieces by clicking these hyperlinks: Dress – Prabal Gurung for Target, Ankle Strap Heels – Zara & Bag – Vintage}

{Check out outtakes from this shoot here – Just log into Facebook to view}

As much as I adore separates sometimes a girl just wants to throw on a dress to enjoy a beautiful sunny day. And what could be a better choice than this beautiful Prabal Gurung for Target floral & black paneled dress?

This has been my favorite designer collaboration so far and I woke up early to make sure there wasn’t a repeat of the Jason Wu for Target debacle {Seriously? All my sizes gone by 9am?}. This dress is my favorite piece that I ordered and I love how it’s a grown-up, modern take on sweet Spring florals. Stay tuned for a peek at the gorgeous heels I also ordered!

Zebra Chic.

Posted by sashamaks in event, fashion, jewelry, Outfit Posts, sasha maks vintage outfit post, trunk show, Uncategorized, vintage jewelry on March 8th, 2013

I found this streamlined wool coat at one of the best shops for vintage in Oakland, Mercy Vintage. It’s sober, masculine lines called for a bit of whimsy and color. I love an animal print, every girl needs one in her closet, and a zebra stripe always struck me as a more sophisticated option, although, I would never say no to the edgier leopard print. The vintage I.Magnin tie top was an another great score from Mercy Vintage, and the brown stripe perfectly compliments the punchy mustard of the V-neck sweater. Chunky silver tone bracelets, the snake is a particularly favorite motif, add a finishing touch.

Paris, Je T’aime.

This look was built around the earrings sourced in Paris in the Marais. The green, pear drop, pâte de verre stunners called to me from a small shop window on a rainy day at the end in October. I found the 70′s chiffon, ruffled, floral print dress in one of my favorite vintage shops in the Haight, Mystery Mister. It’s a tiny place, but I never fail to find a special piece, I cannot leave behind. The green, open toe, booties are old friends from local designer Martha Davis, I could not resist bookending the look with them.
This is my first OOTD post, I’m excited and a little nervous. I hope you enjoy it and many more to come!
