The One That Got Away // Tribal Crop Top

Tops like these…. originally worn by the Kuchi nomads as a dress patch to brighten up long cotton dresses. These days they are way more fun as crop top. Super sexy, gorgeous and unique all at once.

Style Lions Authentic Tribal Crop Top found it’s way to Burning Man 2014 and she was quiet a hit. Check out some of the pics of my favorite rainbow warrior Nina van Hilst.

The One That Got Away // Silk 70s Vintage India Caftan

The silk vintage caftan from the SS14 collection probably used to be from a 70s flower child who took here back from her days in an Indian ashram….

We will never be sure, but it’s a fact that this pink flowy vintage caftan is a stunner. The silk caftan was made in India and dates back to the 70s. Still in such a great condition it was no wander that she got sold shortly after she was listed on Etsy.

Happy as a kid when I discovered she ended up in the collection of vintage collector and one of my favorite stylists Chloe Chippendale. She worked the caftan into the look book for the new jewelry collection of Child of Wild. Seems like my pretty vintage found it’s way to the to a perfect new free spirit.

This vest is made for the cool kids….

Black velvet, sequined embroidery, puffy elephants & bright colors… This must be a vintage Carol Horn, made in Myanmar in the mid 70s.

‘Bringing cultures and traditions of the past and present into her designs, Carol Horn uniquely creates a style that is both stylish and comfortable. She was the first to implement the essence of the 1960s, with collections of separates that carried over from season to season. To create fashionable designs from various cultures and traditions, Horn has used travel as a source of inspiration throughout her career. She made her first trip to India in 1969. After her India trip, Horn traveled extensively to find inspiration for her designs, including visits through Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and the Far East.’ *

Sounds like quite a life to me….
