Friday, April 23rd, 2010A few of us here at LAV have been obsessing over old photos of late great George Harrison and his only son Dhani (see previous post), which has now led to a mad Googling of the rest of the fab 4 and their girlfriends/wives/lovers. All of which, had magnificent style….*sigh* we were definitely born in the wrong decade..
And some of our favorite 60’s/70’s inspired outfits from LA Vintage!

Cuckoo for Coco
Friday, April 16th, 2010Happy Friday everyone, it’s the weekend huraaahh!
Just wanted to give a heads up about the Coco Chanel inspired editorial that’s launching on our homepage this weekend. We pulled frocks, trousers, gowns and cardigans reminiscent of the legendary designer, and styled our lovely model Rachele in the essence of Coco.
We’d like to announce a little contest we’re throwing since we’re so cuckoooo for coco this month! Please send us photos of you in your favorite outfits inspired by Chanel (vintage or modern) and we’ll post them to our blog at the end of the month! The person with our favorite ensemble will win a $35 gift certificate at LAVintage.com! Please email your photos as JPGS to lauren@lavintage.com by April 30th for consideration!
And here’s some images to start off your search for inspiration! Get out those pearl necklaces and blazers….
