Popping some tags...Thrift finds

What's the word people. Today for me it was Thrift store. I have been a thrifty shopper for many years. It all started back in high school at Salvation Army near NYU. This was like heaven for a kid with chore funds. They had vinyl albums, vintage ties, and my favorite of all leather blazers. I can spot great things immediately. Today was a good day at Unique thrift store in Westbury, NY. Yes some people don't get it but I have no problem with finding treasures. If you have patience and want one of a kind style this is the price you pay. Okay well not costly price but looking through items until you find it. It meaning the one thing you thought you wouldn't find. I spent less than $25.00 and came out with a cute summer clutch, a vintage green suade with leather pocketbook, two really nice necklaces and these must add to the collection earrings. I may be willing to give something away if you are willing to share your coolest thrift store find on instagram #winpearsstyles. Follow me @winpears on instagram or @winpearsstyles on Twitter. Always a great day to shop but if you can't I will for you. Enjoy!

I didn't forget you

So everyone was looking for a post yesterday. Yesterday I ran for my life. I've been busy with nothing. My inspiration yesterday were some denim Vans but didn't post about them. I have to research the once popular skateboard sneaker brand. They have all types of sneakers now that have long left the thick white soles and now have a sleeker look. So while I get to my research I will leave you with my first Vans experience. I must have been 13 or 14 years old when I purchased my first pair of Vans. Black suade with white rubber bottoms thick white laces. While everyone was wearing classic reeboks I needed something different. I rarely followed the trends for many reasons but I wore those sneakers into the ground not only for style but comfort. Many people didn't get it but I was way ahead of the game back then. Next posts I will see what designers may have joined the force for Vans to push the sneakers to a more visible level. Enjoy the day people. What was your childhood stand out piece?

New Beginnings

Yes it has been a moment. Hope all my followers haven't given up on me. Happy Mothers day to all the mothers. I have comitted to post a blog everyday this week today starts a new week so here is my first post. The time has come for me to focus on a few things that I claim to have little time for. See we all lose focus at one time or another. Anyone who knows a little bit about WinPears knows I can find time but I move at my own pace. Indecisive behavior has seemed to cause me a few set backs. Yes I can admit my faults. So I have challenged myself to post everyday this week something new, inspiring, and iteresting. Even if I just post a picture.  I have nothing but time due to recent events. May hit Brooklyn or something check back tomorrow. Yes the fro will be in full.

Would you wear these?

Roberto Cavalli always has hot shades, WWD has this as an accessory of the day. Would you wear these?

''Jowelz" Boutique... Dare to be Fashionable

Yes I have been away but my search for a boutique worth featuring did not stop. I found this new boutique"Jowelz" riding down Merrick Boulevard in Laurelton N.Y. Although this is not the dress that caught my eye it is boutiques owner Alicia Mitchells favorite.

This boutiques owner is a mother of two and wife still making moves because she "Dares to be fashionable" her theme. She has no problem telling you she is blessed to have this opportunity. Her employee Christine was also welcoming and down to earth. The vibe is more like girlfriends helping you get it together.

Alicia is the buyer for her boutique, she knows what is in and how to set a trend. Her accessories are definatly the highlight with some touches of vintage here and there. My favorite item are these Quad Flight vintage sunglasses $250. Clutches start at $110 and are so unique from the typical find. The accessories are the highlight and Alicia is adding shoes for upcoming fall and winter season. Check them out at www.jowelzinc.com or follow them on facebook better to stop by 222-12 Merrick Blvd, Laurelton NY

Summer in the City

I have been quiet for a moment and I am ready to start back because I was inspired to share on what a beautiful summer it has been thus far. Yes it is hot out here in the Big Apple but that doesn't stop us from setting trends, rocking accessories, and being all out stylish. New Yorkers have a way of making all others question there ability to put things together. From cut off shorts with blazers to plain tanks with bold chunky neck pieces. New Yorkers are so unique that a trend is never a must but instead a go to with a twist. So although I have no street styles posted yet and no trend watches noted believe me I am inspired by the people. Even the men are going over and beyond to make statements, now if I can get a few to stop showing me their under garments sexy would be back. It is a must that a store gets featured and a stret style is posted so if you want to be featured because you are setting a trend or know you are uniquely styled email me at winpearsstylings@hotmail.com to be featured. Until my next feature enjoy this heat.
