I was blown away when I scored both of these items because I’m a huge fan of Vivienne Tam and of course Guy Laroche and this union is simple chic.  Vivienne Tam was born in China and moved to Hong Kong when she was 3 years old.  Since then, the dynamic combination of cultures in the then British colony has been the essence of her signature East-meets-West STYLE.  This maxi Vivienne Tam dress says “hello there” in the most demure way.  Can you think of a better pair of flats other than these tan Guy Laroche?  I can’t.  Guy Laroche is your classic French label that has stood the test of time.  Guy Laroche began as a milliner, working in Paris, then in New York.  He returned to Paris in 1949 and in 1957 opened his own couture house, with the first show being staged in his own apartment (I love that!).  Laroche died in 1989 and several people have designed for this French brand even Alber Elbaz who is now the head of Lanvin!  Today the designer at Laroche is Marcel Marongiu.  Love this entire ensemble from top to bottom it’s subtle and chic.  Stop by Doubletake Recycled Luxury Boutique when you are in Atlanta.  Toodles for now.  Daniel your luxury curator!

This is what I truly love about thrifting and finding beautiful clothes especially when they are this gorgeous and of course made in Italy.  I don’t know why but I think the fashion industry in Italy should hire me as their PR person because as much as I whore them up almost daily you would think they would show me some love.  I found this beautiful pink & white light weight sweater (size Small) by Weekend Max Mara that is a classic.  Karl Lagerfeld, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, Dolce & Gabbana & Narciso Rodriguez all have designed for this Italian label.  What I’m truly in love with is this dark gray knit vest (size Medium) by Ilaria Nistri now this is hot. Ilaria Nistri and Simone Rafanelli founded this brand.  The main goal is to convey the designer’s passion and love for precious fabrics and unconventional shapes, for the handicraft excellence always keeping the balance between tradition and modernity, together with a constant technological innovation.  They work timelessly, side by side, dividing the work between them: Ilaria took care of design management and Simone looked after general management.  All this ensemble needs is that perfect pair of Piazza Sempione slacks to crank up the STYLE volume to a deafening level.  Stop by Doubletake Recycled Luxury Boutique when you are in Atlanta.  Toodles for now.  Daniel your luxury curator!

This Marc by Marc Jacobs dress definitely has that retro vintage influence written all over it.  This is a dress one could walk around Paris or Venice in all day long and collect those compliments and starers till you can’t stand it.  From the moment Marc Jacobs’ diffusion line hit the runway in 2001, fashion followers have been lining up to get a piece of the ready to wear action.  He has since stamped his cult brand of retro cool on a must have accessories line, which includes bags, shoes and offbeat timepieces.  Perfect off duty chic with the brand’s color pop quilted clutches and whimsical printed scarves.   If only the GODS would have given me these Barbara Bui strap sandals to match up this Marc Jacobs dress everything would be copacetic…  Stop by Doubletake Recycled Luxury Boutique when you’re in Atlanta.  Toodles for now.  Daniel your luxury curator!

Paris is always on fire when Marc Jacobs is working on the Louis Vuitton collection. Talk about finding the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, when I found this men’s sky blue button up Louis Vuitton shirt hanging in the women’s rack of blouses at the Goodwill, I knew I scored!  My heart did it’s little pitter – patter  and I then when I saw the size and realized I pillaged myself a LV shirt at that moment the heavens opened up and the GODS smiled down at me.  In 1837, 16 year old Louis Vuitton became an apprentice to a Parisian luggage maker.  He established his own trunk-making business in 1854 and opened a retail outlet for selling them in Paris.  By 1886 the business had expanded with a store in London, but it was under Louis’s son Georges that the company gained its international reputation.  Georges Vuitton launched the famous LV logo canvas in 1896 in an attempt to stop the counterfeiting of Vuitton products.  Even back in the late 1890′s people were knocking them off!!!   Marc Jacobs was hired in 1997 as chief designer and in 1998 a LV line of clothing was launched.  That’s the history of LV in a tiny nutshell.  I shall wear this LV men’s shirt with a sense of pride and a splash of chuckles!!  Stop by Doubletake my social media driven boutique in Atlanta.  Toodles for now.  Daniel your luxury curator!

Robin egg blue and brown combination is always a combination worth celebrating don’t you agree?  I love this Max Mara knit Robin egg blue top that has 2 slits on the bottom of blouse for that little added extra touch of sexy.  Laura Lusuardi has been designing for Max Mara since 1964 and talk about your loyal die hard fans, this brand has them.  Max Mara is always classic and always timeless just like this top, you can belt it and wear it with your favorite pair of skinny jeans or your classic Piazza Sempione slacks and either way you slice this cake it’s delicious!  I found these Trina Turk short that have what I think to be this amazing Scandinavian print… and I love my Scandinavian vintage prints.  Love the print with these walking shorts and the color of the Max Mara top together, this is one sexy union that is worthy of a celebration that goes way into the night!!!

“Clothes should enrich who you are” is just 1 of my many mottos.  Isn’t it true though?  Clothes should always enrich and enhance the very being of who you are.  Each day when you get up and dress it’s like you are painting the canvas that day of what you want to present to the world.  Since I’m an artist I say paint the biggest most abstract painting you can rest your eyes on.  I found this sexy silk Rebecca Taylor top with a touch of the bling bling.  I love Rebecca Taylor…  From a small town in New Zealand to a flagship store in Manhattan, Rebecca Taylor’s has been on quite the journey.  A former assistant to Cynthia Rowley (another favorite), she launched her fresh and fun eponymous brand in 1994 and has since gained an A-list following…. Moment later after finding the Rebecca Taylor top I found these brand new Tod’s and I can testify that these aren’t the first pair of Tod’s I’ve found in a thrift store that were brand new.  Ever-chic presence in the world of luxury, Tod’s stands not only for core Italian artisanship, but mostly for the capacity to distinguish itself as a classic trend setter.  Tod’s represents an understated effortless attire and a lifeSTYLE.  Living well is an art !!  Enrich your wardrobe today and start shopping green….  Stop by Doubletake my social media driven boutique in Atlanta.  Toodles for now.  Daniel your luxury curator!

This Escada silk jungle dress is hawt no doubt about it….  When I scored this dress at my local Goodwill I almost wet my pants from the excitement.  Just looking at this dress makes me want to run to the airport with my passport in hand and jet off to Cannes.  If I do anything best of all I would have to say I dream pretty damn R$CH… Aim high is my motto.   These Jil Sander pink patent leather sling back heels are the ticket to riding high…  Enjoy your summer ladies and don’t forget to walk tall and arch your back.   Stop by Doubletake my social media driven boutique in Atlanta.  Toodles for now.  Daniel your luxury curator!

I can’t think of anything that says casual louder than this ensemble.  I love this knit Tibi with its purple & green pattern, it’s so chic and simple all you do is just pull it over your head and go.  Well you might go after you’re put your khaki Susana Monaco skirt on too.  This skirt with the 2 outside pockets make this skirt modern.  These 2 brands: Tibe & Susana Monaco are known for creating contemporary pieces for the on the go woman.  The perfect silver metallic leather thong sandals would be these Roger Vivier….  Life should be simple and fun or vice  versa….  Stop by Doubletake my social media driven boutique next time you are in Atlanta.  Toodles for now.  Daniel your luxury curator!
