Scarf down

Hey guys!

A few weeks ago, I stopped by Eleven C Consignment shop in Park Slope. The boutique focuses on big names in great condition.

My purchase: An authentic Pucci 100% silk scarf. The a price for a 100% silk Pucci scarf in department stores/vintage store is can be from $350-$600. For those not familiar with the designer brand Pucci, it is was on the most iconic brands of the 20th century. Designer Emilio Pucci was born to one of Florence, Italy's oldest and most noble families. His designs first caught the eyes of fashion insiders during the 1940's.  

I got the scarf below for $120, an yes it's authentic! A lot of people sell the knock off version on eBay, ioffer stating the scarf is authentic.I usually wear scarfs in the winter time but lately I have been trying to get out of my comfort zone and try new things in regards to my style: adding more color and purchasing more staples in my closet. 

Eleven C boutique has a flagship store, located at 1st Avenue and 11th Street in Manhattan, the boutique is in its third year of buying, selling, and trading high-end apparel and accessories. Their section location in Park Slope opened a month ago.

The price points, are reasonable for the labels. Customers can expect to find jeans from J Brand to Burberry ($35-75), dresses from Diane von Fustenberg to Chanel ($250).  Designer handbags depending on the brand, will run you up into the thousands typical of consignment shops.

Besides wearing the scarf around my neck, lol for the money I paid I made sure there were a few places where I can wear it:
Using the scarf to add color to my black bag
lol new hair accessory!

I am excited about my purchase as a Pucci scarf is a staple to have in every closet, they are timeless! As I get older, I rather invest in timeless pieces than trendy pieces that last a season or two.

S.I.L.K Fall 13 preview

Hey guys! 

I hope the week is going off to a great start for each of you! Spring has sprung in the garment district and market appointment season has started! I am split at my full time job getting appointments and attending press events!

I had the opportunity to attend the Fall 13 preview for S.I.L.K! The brand combines contemporary with classic while balancing ladylike styles that go from day to night. Like its namesake, the collection uses silk and silk based fabrics. The outerwear pieces caught my eye!
