Inside Joanna Hillman’s Closet

Joanna Hillman, the Market Editor at Harper’s Bazaar is a sartorial favorite and can be spotted in street style photographs all around. The Coveted has started peeking into fashion-people’s closets and I very much enjoyed seeing Joanna’s.

I basically wear it everyday and people are so drawn to it and always ask me who designed it.  Eddie is the king of designing for the downtown cool set.</span><span class='fancyPhotoName'>Sandals, Miu Miu; Bracelet, Eddie Borgo</span>

ODLR 1979

 Oscar de la Renta dresses, 1979 photo: W: The Designing Life, 1987

This is vintage ODLR from 1979 featured in W: The Designing Life, 1987 and found via OscarPRGirl. I love everything about this photo from the dresses to the shoes to the backward locket to the girls to the dock.

I hope you’re having a good week. I’m finally feeling like myself again.

Grey Dog – A Must-See

I have been hearing SO MUCH about the Grey Dog vintage boutique housed in a little 1973 Airstream trailer. The teeny mobile holds a wealth of vintage dresses (all tailored to a modern fit), baubles, sunglasses & more. I finally went last week and it was better than I could have imagined. The owner, Molly has a keen eye for items that the trend conscious will enjoy just as much as the vintage-enthusiast. There are new options almost every week and they’re all very reasonably priced. There’s even a mini-fitting room! A must-visit for any stylish Fayetteville girl-about-town!

Currently located on the corner of trenton and college avenue (across from the new skating rink)
