Fashion Throughout The Ages- 60's

 The 60's

A time stuck between war and peace

Many people look back on the 60's and purely see drugs, war, and social descent, but it was a period that represented so much more. The 60's was a time of the peace movement, social rebellion and the quest for freedom of expression. The 60's had it's own style that still often appears in todays fashions.

Urban Jungle, is a vintage shop located in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Since it is deep in Brooklyn, it is not well known to people who are not associated with the neighborhood. One could almost call it a hipster paradise. Yet you don't have to be a hipster to enjoy it.  Like many vintage stores, Urban Jungle has a range of styles and caters to all tastes. It is an amazing vintage store, and has amazing prices.  It's an awesome, well kept secret that is worth sharing.  I really recommend visiting it. 

Many finds found in major label stores, could be found at Urban Jungle. In the early 2000's vintage came back into style. In recent years, the economy in the U.S has weakened forcing vintage to make a major comback.  Out of the many trends that have come in and out, I welcome back vintage shops.

My cape - a new find at Dekalb Market

In my backyard in Brooklyn

 I am wearing cape that I got this past weekend, and ever since I have been totally infatuated with capes.  I found the cape at a wonderful new market in Brooklyn: http://dekalbmarket.com/. At first glance the market looks like an industrial lot filled with old truck crates, but tucked inside these crates are little boutiques and stores like:http://www.nanakoclothes.com/. 

Not all of the stores are my usual style or taste, but I found my cape at the first place that I walked into, so I think the market is definitely worth a look.

I suggest giving the market try, and if you are not interested in clothes or jewelry they have crafts, music and restaurants. It is a delightful place to spend a Saturday or Sunday afternoon.

Ever since joining the cape owner community this weekend, I realized how different life has become. Capes are not just a stye, but an attitude.  They bring out the inner hero in you. That's why when buying a cape, make sure it speaks to you. So ladies it's time to dust off your capes and go fight some crime.

Every size and shape, every color and for everyone's sake, please wear a cape.
