I think it was WEDNESDAY and my phone rang.I was just stepping out of a consignment shop where I was cruising the VESTMENTS.Or INVESTMENTS of VINTAGE FINDS as I should say!
IT was THAT GIRL from NEW YORK who has arrived in LOS ANGELES to DRESS THE STARS!
TZIPORAH SALAMON OF ADVANCED STYLE FAME………………and BILL CUNNINGHAM of THE NEW YORK TIMES and LANVIN FAME!
Seems she was arriving in SAN FRANCISCO and was giving another one of her seminars and would I pass the WORD around!
Of course I would.
ALSO,there was an OPENING night PARTY in the CITY at FORT MASON could I meet up with HER to ENJOY a fabulous spread a place to be SEEN and SHOP!!
Just a TAD bit of PRESSURE I thought!!! But my reply was I will see what I can DO!!!
TRIBAL and TEXTILE brought visions to my mind.
I think I owned a few pieces worthy of the TEXTILE/TRIBAL LOOK!
I think I can DO THIS!
How DO I LOOK?
Trying to TAKE A SNAP of oneself is not easy!Especially when you want the entire length!
THANK GOODNESS the ITALIAN came home early to snap HIS BRIDE!
OH, that DOUBLE CHIN is killing ME!
I come by it HONESTLY…….it’s a FAMILY TRAIT!
LOOK past me……THE GARDEN…..it’s starting to BLOOM!!!!!!!I did get all 287 ROSES fed yesterday as well……….Now if that RAIN will come again I will be VERY HAPPY!
I was not certain of the ZEBRA with the DUSTER from the I.MAGNIN DAYS but I think it WORKED.
What a TREAT re~connecting with TZIPORAH.If you are on INSTAGRAM do FOLLOW HER.She never disappoints!HER CODE NAME THERE ALL ONE WORD…….tziporahsalamon.
Is this NOT A VISUAL FEAST for the EYES and HEART?The colors, the patterns, the STYLE!
I have some exciting NEWS to share with YOU…….seems TZIPORAH will be in a TJ MAXX promotion!LOOK for a RED CURTAIN………….then PINCH yourself as you saw HER HERE FIRST on THE VINTAGE CONTESSA.NET!!!!
AT every turn WE ran into an old CHUM.This man was from NEW YORK…….I understood TZIPPY has a few GOODIES from his old shop!Note to GALS that took her class with me!She is wearing the CHINESE P.J.’S she spoke of in CLASS!She has not ONE but TWO hats on her head……….VINTAGE Maybe……………. ANTIQUE for certain!
This was in the RUNNING as a possible PURCHASE.
THE HAT…………..fit HER like a GLOVE!I have to say I saw HER try on a few hats and everyONE made a STATEMENT!
MORE OLD FRIENDS……….from HER BERKELEY DAYS!!!!!!
Seems they were in a THEATRE GROUP TOGETHER A LONG time ago!What a small WORLD!
I ADORE running into PEOPLE from MY PAST……….DO YOU?

The BUY of the NIGHT!
THAT ROSE and DAISY bit of FABRIC is a HAT!Guess who LOOKED quite BESPOKE in it!

A Memento of the night.
Here WE are……….ready to WALK The SHOW.I must THANK MY DEAR FRIEND JENNY for that neck BIT I had on as she gifted that to me a few years back for my BIRTHDAY!It is a PAUL SMITH RUNWAY piece……….that made it’s way into my COLLECTION!

I can honestly say it was such a JOY to walk the show A FEAST for THE EYES.
TO be HONEST I think the TWO of us were a FEAST for a FEW OTHERS……….
We were SNAPPED quite a few times by ADMIRERS!
