Williamsburg's own Awoke Vintage had a lil' soiree last night and Chels and I dropped by to "pop champagne" and try on sO mAny cLoThes! Awoke's selection is small, nicely curated and very on-trend - a lot of printed shirts for the menfolk, mostly from the '80's and early '90's. There's more for the ladies (cute dresses and tops), but every time I've stopped in I've found at least one item to obsess over. This time around I fell hard for the leather jacket above, in the perfectest shade of bright blue EVER, but refrained from purchasing because of budget realities (sad emoji.) I did, however, pick up this adorable lil' number:
It's kind of like a Topshop riff on a Kenzo print, but from the late eighties. I'm into it; red is my color. Full disclosure: I found both of these items in the ladies' section, per usual, BUT the shirt was only there because it's a kid's size (#winning) and it's not, like, my fault cropped leather jackets look so good on me. After shopping we ran into Spoonbill and copped some Rifle Paper Co. (Mother's Day is coming up, y'all!) and then spelunked our way into Catbird where I bought this candle. Check out some images from Awoke's awesome last lookbook, shot by Jackson Eaton, below!
