Craving Cozy: Vintage Looks for Autumn
Trying to catch the rain in Denver One of my few complaints about life in this great city is the weather. I’m a girl who likes the soundtrack provided by a rainy day. I like to listen to the gentle slap of water against the windows and bricks on the side of my house, to...
Prepping for Fall
This year, I had the pleasure of spending Fashion’s Night Out at Goldyn, an essential destination for local lovers of well-made and well-priced designer goods and jewelry, where you can also find a selection of pieces from my store, Wishlist Vintage.

Seeing the Sights and Selling Delights at the Denver Modernism Show
August 24 through the 26th marked the seventh annual Denver Modernism Show and it was a doozy.

Modern is a Feeling: Mid Century Modern Design

Get Your Motor Runnin’: Vintage and Designer Motorcycle Style for Fall
I felt it yesterday, and if you’re in Denver then maybe you felt it too– that slight nip of autumn in the air, that hint that if you haven’t already, it’s time to start giving some serious thought to your fall wardrobe. One easy and super stylish way to transition from summer to fall is to...
Advanced Style
Whatever you do, don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t age gracefully and with style. Sure, some will say that if you’re over 35 you can’t wear this or do that, but that’s their hangup. Check your mirror and check with a trusted friend. If you are eating well and working out, there’s...
In the Beginning, There Was Biba
Before Forever 21, Urban Outfitters or Charlotte Russe ever served up hot, on-trend clothes at affordable prices, a young Londoner named Barbara Hulanicki, along with her partner Stephen Fitz-Simon, recognized the gap between children’s wear and frumpy women’s clothes on the London market and started a modest mail-order couture fashion business that targeted twenty-something women who wanted fast, attractive fashion at...
A Gentleman’s Introduction to Fit
When it comes to looking fantastic in any piece of clothing, whether it’s vintage or otherwise, the most important issue is fit. Swimming in your clothes, or having them cling tightly to all the wrong things, is never something you want in a garment. Fit is the difference between wearing your clothes and your clothes...
Fearless Fashion: Peggy Moffitt
When we consider the ideas and impressions that we have of a given fashion era, it’s not just the way the clothes looked that makes consumers and designers alike turn to them again and again as the decades pass– it’s the way they were worn and the people who wore them that build the images we see...
Monsieur Saint Laurent: A Legacy in Pictures
This weekend, I managed to slip away from working at Wishlist long enough to finally see the much lauded Yves Saint Laurent Retrospective at the Denver Art Museum.

Under Cover: Vintage Swimsuit Coverups Keep You Cool and Stylish Poolside
It is scorchingly hot in Denver this summer. Now is the time of year when I’d like to spend as much time at the pool as I do at work. Some of us have got as much skin out as the law will allow and most of us want a nice patch of shade, a...
