Investment Piece: Where to Shop: Timeless Vixen

Loves, I consider it one of my most treasured duties to keep you up to date on all the amazing places I think that you should be shopping. I share with you places I love, and shop at, and try to keep my eye out for the hidden gems that we should all be supporting. And loves, it’s no secret that I love vintage- in all its shapes, forms, and sizes. SO, I’m thrilled to introduce you to Timeless Vixen, one of my favorite high end Vintage dealers!

Love Ossie Clark? Valentino? Dior? Stunning 20s dresses? Timeless Vixen has them in spades for you! This is the part where I’m supposed to wax poetic about her collection (completely drool worthy)  I’ve been a fan of Lauren, the owner and stylist of Timeless Vixen, for years. I’ve gotten to know her through various shows (A Current Affair) and shopping appointments, and every time we chat I like her more! So, yes, this is where I let you know about how amazing her collection is. This is where I let you know that if you have a special occasion, or just want something amazing, you should see the Timeless Vixen. Examples:

But loves, as much I love the collection at Timeless Vixen (and I do!), the best part about Lauren is her expert knowledge of vintage fashion. Have a question about a designer or period in fashion? Lauren has an answer, and most likely a dress. Have a question about how to tell if an item is authentic? Lauren can educate you on labels, zippers, what to look for in pictures, and can probably lead you to an authentic item. Yes, the collection is exquisite; but when you come stay for the incredible fashion education you can get from the Timeless Vixen!

You can follow the Timeless Vixen on Instagram (@timelessvixen), and shop her on 1stdibs, and starting this month you can shop Lauren’s new brick and mortar in Beverly Hills (though it’s best to request an appointment!) I got the chance to see the shop, and loves, it’s going to be amazing!

There are times when you meet someone that is simply special, and that love and care that they have shines through their work. This is true with Ann Chikahisa of Chikahisa Studio, who makes amazing jewelry from organic metals and stones.

Ann is self taught, and each piece is a work of love. The pieces are elegant, easy, and modern. There is a joy that Ann has in her work, and it completely comes through in her work!

This is what you can expect: great collections of necklaces, earrings, rings, bracelets made with gold, silver, oxidized silver and stones–anything from diamonds to gem stones that feel organic, elegant, and most definitely non-basic. These pieces are a great way to elevate everything from jeans and a t-shirt to a little black dress, and besides being beautiful are fun!

Some of my fave pieces: The above gold and oxidized silver necklace that I wore as a bracelet, the gold jacket earrings, stacking rings, and I have my eye on some of Ann’s diamond and hoop earrings!

I got to know Ann at Elaine Kim Studio, but you don’t have to get to LA to find Chikahisa studio! You can shop them online at Chikahisa Studio
