Ladies Lotto - Los Angeles August 19th Meeting

The Ladies Lotto - Los Angeles August 19th meeting was a vintage buying extravaganza !!!

Our guest speaker Shareen Joy (Designer & Shareen's Vintage Owner) had her warehouse stocked to the brim with great vintage threads - all too hard to pass up. She opened her fabulous collection to the Ladies Lotto guests, so that plenty of us could walk away with real treasures. I spent my hard earned and saved-up cash on many unique pieces. There was also plenty of food and drinks to go around. At the end of the night there was still plenty of food and drink left over to give to Shareen for her employees to enjoy. Now that the atmosphere has been laid out (see slide show), lets get to the heart of the meeting. Shareen Joy was a true inspiration, no exaggeration. She moved the whole crowd, we even witnessed some actual water works. She seemed very open with the various experiences which led her to the life she leads today. After many bumps on the road to self discovery she has finally achieved true contentment. A number of LL guests identified with her. Hopefully these ladies can use her advice to further their place in their communities. Check out her website for store locations - http://www.shareenvintage.com/

Our meeting in El Lay's downtown district will be a memorable one. I'm looking forward to shooting the next meeting, I hope to see the LLLA women stylin' in their new Shareen fashions.

White Hart Recycled

Our friends Rebecca Diaz and Lan Phan have launched an online boutique, White Hart Recyled, filled with recycled and vintage accessories for men and women.

With a passion for high-end and one of a kind vintage accessories, denim, leather, military memorabilia and footwear. They take great pleasure in scouring for rare gems where most shoppers will not tread. Traveling throughout the world searching for unique, quality upmarket and vintage accessories. Whether it be high-end consignment stores, estate sales, local artisans, designers, stylists, antiques markets or our mothers' closets, they've scoured high and low to bring you the loveliest recycled accessories they could find.

Plus, one of the unseen benefits of shopping vintage is reducing your carbon footprint. Vintage is not only stylish, it's the next level of recycling. Why buy new when you can reuse, restyle and go retro?

REDUCE. REUSE. RECYCLE.
