Friday, December 2, 2011. Frayed vest equals sexy best! Do you all remember this adorable vest we created from a linen coat at SHS this past summer? We love the frayed arms and funky, pleated back!

Secondhand Star: Raffia, Harem & Stripes. Oh my!
http://secondhandstaronline.blogspot.com/2011/03/rafia-harem-stripes-oh-my.html
Wednesday, March 23, 2011. Raffia, Harem and Stripes. Oh my! We found this beautiful, Jason Wu outfit featured on the runways for Spring 2011. Admittedly, the turban presented a bit of a challenge to "real life" dressing, but we were undeterred and wanted to take a crack at something similar, with our own thrifting twist, of course. Enter our Spring must: Rafia and stripes. And how much do we still love the harem? Here's our version of this look, purchased via thrift! Aviators took the place of a turban.

Secondhand Star: Long lost twins unite!
http://secondhandstaronline.blogspot.com/2011/04/long-lost-twins-unite.html
Thursday, April 7, 2011. Long lost twins unite! You know how magazines love to show celebrities stepping out in the same outfit? It's that double shot with a "who wore it better" tag? We love to style each other and borrow one another's favorite clothes! Sure, we may have different modes of fashion, but we do also love a lot of the same things, so it's not surprising that we were both drawn to these nearly identical suit sets found many, many miles apart. (Did you read the story here. Https:/ fashiondiva...

Secondhand Star: Black and Gold goes Bold: Part 1
http://secondhandstaronline.blogspot.com/2011/08/black-and-gold-goes-bold-part-1.html
Monday, August 1, 2011. Black and Gold goes Bold: Part 1. Happy Monday to all our thrifty friends! Have we got a "re-do" for you! Remember when people actually wore these pantsuits "as is"? I found this wonderfully atrocious combination jumpsuit and blazer for a few bucks at the local thrift store last month. Admittedly, in its present state it's nothing short of awful, but just wait til you see what Tanya and I have in store for this baby! So this mess of an ensemble met its match last week- us! The key...

Secondhand Star: Best of 2011
http://secondhandstaronline.blogspot.com/2012/02/best-of-2011.html
Friday, February 3, 2012. Well we're already two months in to 2012, and we've been looking back at all we accomplished over the past year here at Secondhand Star. We sought, we bought, we doctored, we altered, and we strove to find the coolest, (and in some cases, most in need of assistance) vintage and thrift items we could lay our hands on! Here's a look back at our favorites from 2011. And while we've both been insanely busy lately, we promise to dig in for more exciting remakes in 2012! Email us your...

Secondhand Star: From prissy to Pucci: Before and After
http://secondhandstaronline.blogspot.com/2011/12/from-prissy-to-pucci-before-and-after.html
Monday, December 5, 2011. From prissy to Pucci: Before and After. We're back from our holiday, Etsy promotion, and revving up for holiday renovations. Like this little number! I've always liked the look of bright, brash prints, (even though my own wardrobe has a tendency towards the more "demure" tones.) But when I found this adorable dress at Out of the Closet for 9$, I knew there was a little gem waiting to be born. And here's the result. A little less mumu, and little more rock n' roll! Thanks for you...

Secondhand Star: Glamorously Gold
http://secondhandstaronline.blogspot.com/2011/04/glamorously-gold.html
Friday, April 22, 2011. It's been cool and mild in LA, but last week the sun just poured out and we hit a record, nearly 90 degrees! It seemed like the perfect time to pull out this micro-mini we recently found via thrift for, (you guessed it) a dollar! There's something really beautiful about taking a shimmery, sexy bottom and pairing it with something a little rough. The mini has a shimmery, gold thread finish, so we added gold bangles and a vintage purse, that just popped in the afternoon light. Http:...
