My SDV Experience

Once again, Sammy Davis has inspired me to continue my blog. This weekend I had an amzaing time in New York. I got to meet up with a friend and visit the Sammy Davis Vintage Showroom!!!!!! Unfortunatley, I don't have any pictures to document the visit but I'm sure Sammy will be uploading footage to her YouTube channel soon. It was fun trying on all of her vintage dresses and blazers. Just when I thought I wasn't going to celebrate my birthday, she pulled a black sequin dress for me that she knew I would love. And she was right, I fell madly in love with it. It fits me like a glove and accentuates all the right curves. It was made just for me! Everything Sammy pulled for me looked so good on. Too bad I had to leave some of them behind. (tear) I ended up leaving with 2 dresses, a blazer, a belt, and a handbag. All complimentary of SDV!!!! I hope to visit her again soon to snag some more of her amazing finds. Check back soon for pictures of my black birthday dress from the SDV showroom. Yea, my birthday is 49 days away, but I can't help but be excited.

New Discoveries

You never know what you can find unless you open your eyes. On my lunch break on Friday, I decided to go for a walk to get some air. Being from Jersey, I know very little about the Philadelphia area and what it really has to offer. On my journey I see this amazing, modern community with apartments, boutiques, restaurants, pet shops and so much more. There is a bowling alley and lots of parks with great art. Northern Liberties is what it's called. I had no clue about this part of town. What community do you know that has a jumbotron in the town square? All the ESPN you could imagine. Any sports lover's dream.

Good Things Come to Those Who Wait




I saw this vest in Oma Vintage in Philadelphia, and absolutely fell in love with it. I walked by the store everyday after work debating whether or not to make the purchase. What can I say, times are rough these days. two Fortunately for me, the entire store was 50% off!! AMAZING!!! So the once $40 vest, is now $20 and in my closet! Can't wait to wear it.



This little satchel caught my eye on the way out. I couldn't beat the $7 price tag.

If you are in the Philadelphia area, I would definitely recommend this vintage boutique. Look at my previous post to see the location.

Oh How I Adore Thee..




On my way to work, I happen to pass by a cute little shop. It so happens to be a Vintage clothing store. Of course, that would happen to me. Especially, when my pockets are running on empty.

Oma Vintage, located on 3rd street in Philadelphia, sells the most amazing vintage pieces. I walked by it a couple times before I actually deciding to go into the store. As I expected, I fell in love with a beautifully made vest. Ada, the founder, will soon be taking a hiatus. But don't worry, she has an online store on etsy.com.

Not to worry all you men out there, Oma Vintage has something for you too! She sells mens clothing as well.

This shop is definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.

It's located at 716 N 3 St
Philadelphia, PA 19123
267 687 5

Tye Tye Who?



Whoever said feathers were just for the birds? Definitely not Tye! Tye, founder of Featherlicious, creates an eclectic array of feather earrings. Hailing out of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, she began creating earrings after she was inspired by a Grecian themed party. She created her own earrings for the party and that's how it all began. "I didn't see them in stores, " said Tye. She started her earring collection two years ago. She had no experience making jewelry and learned along the way. It came natural to her because it was something she was passionate about. I must say, she is quite the fashionista!

"My Mother and grandmother inspired me. I borrowed their clothes. I loved the 70's style and the free spirit." This can be seen in many of her earring designs. The earrings range from rainbow colored to metallic.

The inspiration for her brand name was Bubblicious gum. With every online order, customers receive a piece of Bubblicious gum. How cute is that? The prices range from $15 to $60. She has something for everyone, no matter your style.

So if you're looking to spice up any wardrobe or add some glam to your natural hair? This is the perfect accessories for you! You can find her jewelry line at: Featherlicious247

You can also contact her on Facebook: featherlicious247 . Give her a shout!

Uhuru: “freedom”- freedom to choose, freedom to be, freedom to grow

As hot as it was outside, I managed to make my way to the Uhuru Flea Market at Clark Park in Philadelphia. It takes place every month. So if you missed this month, you can always check it out next month. I'm glad I did! I found some great pieces, all for under $20. It was a cool experience because I had never been to a flea market. Here's what I found!

Vintage Shades: $5

Mary Tylor Moore Dress: $2!!!
I had to have it!

This is my California Girls Tank: $1



$3

Dainty Top:$2

I had no idea what the term Uhuru meant. After a little research, uhuru means freedom.
