They have wicked cute vintage clothing and a great blog lead by the fashion editor, Doreen, who is the sweetest!name: Chelsea Dancer

Doreen: How would you describe your style?:
Chelsea: Very monochromatic and simple. I believe that textures and accents make the outfit. The majority of my wardrobe is black and sleek so I incorporate colors through single accent pieces. well-fitting vintage or thrifted pieces rule my wardrobe.

Doreen: what's the best place to party in your town?
Chelsea: My House;)
Doreen: do you have a style icon / someone you admire for his/her style?
Chelsea: I'm a huge fan of Freja Beha Erichsen (post haircut). In my eyes, she can do no wrong. Also, I get a lot of vintage inspiration from Anna Karina.
Doreen: Any big aim you want to achieve in 2010?
Chelsea: Finishing my full-sleeve tattoo and opening my own one-of-a-kind handmade online store. I want to do some traveling and try new things...that's a new moto of mine.
Doreen: Where do you find inspiration for your style?
Chelsea: I am often inspired by old films. Anything by Jean Luc Godard, or Alfred Hitchcock...even Blake Edwards. The quirky style of the women in their films is always inspirational.

Doreen: What is your vintage must-have this season?
Chelsea: envelope clutches and high-waisted pencil jeans. Perfect for any season!
Doreen: anything you can recommend to our readers as your personal secret tip? (f.ex. a new band, place, magazine you just discovered)
Chelsea: I don't have a magazine, place, or band to share, but I think that the #1 tip when it comes to being fashionable is to trust your intuition. If something isn't "in," don't stress it. Be bold and wear what you like regardless...be a trend starter, not follower. My only suggestion is to wear pieces that fit well. Tailoring an item can transform a look.

This was my first-ever interview for any sort of publication, but I loved the opportunity, and hope to do more in the future!
