I Wouldn't Mind...

This dress! Isn't it gorgeous? Short in front, longer in the back, with a little sheer business going on...perfect for summer or "winter" with some leggings. I'm seriously liking this puppy. Made by Peeko Apparel and coming in at $89.00. Maybe a little steep for me right now, but I love the idea, how just utterly fantastic it looks.

Caskibaches (Or, I'm Officially a Vintage Reseller?)

A couple of Sundays ago, I had the pleasure of selling at the Caskibaches fleamarket at Executive Manolo in Santurce. Let me tell you, it was fun! Everybody was so nice, I sold some vintage, second-hand, and jewelry made by me. I also scored some stuff as well! An Ikea lamp that I'd been craving for a while, a old globe, and some lovely Trinkets necklaces made by Nydia López.


A little slow at the start.

Friendly sellers!

My little corner at Caskibaches.

While there, La bella y las bestias and The Bee's Knees did their own musical thing. Unfortunately, I don't have pics of them as I was too busy jammin' along and saying hello to old friends who are leaving island soon.

Executive Manolo is a store in the Santurce area of San Juan. They have their own vintage resellers, Terekes, and their own new designs (I may be itching for one of their shirts). They also have concerts! So be sure to swing by Executive Manolo or visit us all at the next Caskibaches (which I'll be sure to mention here). We'll be waiting!

This dress from JulyS on Etsy. Priced at $59.00, it seems like a deliciously soft option for these nasty summer days. The small open back at the bottom provides a neat cool factor, both in the literal and figurative sense.

JulyS is run by 3 ladies that design and make everything in the shop. They have tons more goodies! Visit them here.

Old Navy Leather.

So yes. Several years ago, Old Navy release some leather hoody jackets, but I never got to see them in person, they sold out so fast. I don't know if they did leather again until now, but I'm liking what I see. So far, it appears that the styles are women only, but I'm really liking them.

I haven't seen the one available in-store in person yet (the motorcycle jacket and bomber jacket are online exclusives), so I can't tell you if the leather is supple or not. However, the reviews on Old Navy's website are all positive and several have commented on the suppleness of the leather. At only $199, if they are that good, then they might be worth the money. I for one, am drooling over the taupe one with the ruffles. It just seems so elegant. I can see it with delicate dresses, workwear, and jeans on the weekend. I will be keeping an eye out for you, my pretty!
