Thrifty English Queen.

Take a look at the lovely and talented Arlene Guerra's blog, Thrifty English Queen, for her insights on fashion, art, and culture. 

Her Story:

"I’ve been a freelance fashion stylist for the last 9 plus years and an accessory designer since 2005. Shopping for vintage is second nature for me. I allow my intuitive fashion radar to lead the way. This usually involves an adrenaline rush from scoring a vintage version that looks and acts like it’s fresh from the runway. Not that it always needs to work this way, but it’s a challenge to find something that sparks a familiarity to what is current but at the same time original. I’d like to share this with you."

Her work:

Life Imitating Art

Oscar Wilde once said “Life imitates art far more than art imitates Life.” More than a coincidence, synchronicity, collective unconscious, what is it???? After viewing the Spring 2010 Louis Vuitton show I couldn’t help but exclaim, shut it! All I know is that Marc Jacobs needs this artwork in his residence, office or perhaps a collaboration. My talented friend ,artist Martha Rich painted this amazing piece called Lemon Fresh Pretty. Check out more of Martha’s work at www.martharich.com she rocks!
