Meet The Ladies

Who Are We?

A bunch of peg-legged hobos in search of the perfect world, equal pay, gorgeous clothes, and home/ shopping cart — vintage, one-of-a-kind, and solid gold, of course.

No, we’re kidding… only barely.

We’re not a style blog. We don’t tell you how to dress yourself; we invite you to accept yourself.

Our philosophy is simple: Style is about having fun and being comfortable in your own skin.Be brave, and dare to be different — don’t give a f*ck about what anyone else thinks.

Meet the loonies and lovelies who make up #TeamTLC.
