Amarcord Vintage: 70s Maxi dress / Vincini Heels
Nothing like swirly patterns and loads of fabric for an amazing 70s maxi dress. Airy and floaty for my quintessential twirl, I loved the way the dress moved with me. The ruche detailing at the top was impeccable (and perfect for smaller-chested women might I add). Hand me a tambourine and call me a gypsy.

Amarcord Vintage: Emporio Armani Tee / Leather Culotte Shorts / Christian Dior Belt / Chanel Pumps
I love mixing casual and elevated pieces. There's something about the juxtaposition that instantly makes the outfit "cool". This vintage Armani caught my eye immediately for a perfect graphic tee. Not the mention, what looks like a leather pleated skirt is actually culottes (which is on the rise for fall!) Pairing the graphic tee with a structured bottom and epic pump makes for nice mixing.
Speaking of epic pumps, I fell in love with these Chanel pumps when I went to Amarcord's monthly happy hour. With Prosecco and 20% off, it's bound to be a good time. Next one is June 19th at their Soho location, but you can grab this look (minus the shoes) there anytime!

Amarcord Vintage: Christian Dior Dress / Carlos Falchi Clutch / Bruno Magli Peep Toe Pumps
I remember it like it was yesterday... walking into Amarcord in Williamsburg and being greeted by the friendliest Italian man, Marco. It was like I was 5 again playing dress up with the most beautiful clothes. Marco and I basically had a whole styling session that day, and from then on, I was hooked.
Patti Bordoni and Marco Liotta started Amarcord Vintage Fashion in 2000 with a desire to bring upscale European womenswear, menswear, and accessories to the modern fashion world. With vintage pieces anywhere from the 90s back to the Victorian era, the exclusive and exquisite selection is one for the books. What I also love about Amarcord is the contagious passion for fashion you get as soon as you walk through door. Marco and his team can tell you anything and everything about each piece and assist you in envisioning and creating any outfit in the store. The knowledge and culture behind the clothes as well as the people of Amarcord make it worth going back again and again…not to mention the epic merchandise of course :)
