Bakelite Bits
I have no idea how I stumbled upon this artisan's online store, but I literally shrieked with glee. Bakelite Bits is a collection of one of a kind bakelite jewelry converted into modern, works of wearable art. Even when Bakelite was worn as a fashion accessory in the 30s and 40s, it was considered as small works of art to be worn by women of all ranks and classes. And now, the revival of wearable plastic art has arrived-much to my delight.
As an avid collector of antique and vintage plastics, I truly appreciate the modern twist this artist has given these vintage beauties. Many collectors of costume and jewelry might be horrified that bakelite pieces have been redesigned. I say BRAVO! I love mixing vintage and modern, and these pieces are the perfect accessory to my vintage hybrid wardrobe. What better way to give old stuff a new life?

Wardrobe Remix
When I bought my first camera phone, my good friend Jen immediately signed me up for Flickr, a photo blog site.
Wardrobe Remix is by far the best Flickr group I have found. Fashionable men and women take daily pictures of their outifts. What you get is an ecclectic mix of people styling themselves and flashing us their outifits. Vintage is layered with thrift finds and designer goodies. My fashion glands are salivating with lust.
