Vegas, Baby, Yea!

Fall Travel Capsule Wardrobe

Vintage Vegas Glam: 10 Days in Las Vegas



Whether the goal is to pack light or provide inspiration, a capsule wardrobe is the new "It" way to style your wardrobe.


Capsule wardrobes are minimal collections of pieces that fit together for cohesive styling. So 10 pieces could create an endless array of looks because all the pieces, including the shoes and accessories, go together.


The inspiration for this travel capsule wardrobe is a trip to Old Las Vegas. Think '70s Vintage Glam mixed with street style sensibility and modern - day comfort.


Shop the Looks

In your mind, you might be thinking, "Aren't capsule wardrobes kinda boring?" Well, maybe. Because, let's face it, the more basic the piece, the more often you wear it.


But this capsule is anything but boring.


It's colorful, vibrant, full of statement vintage pieces and did I mention real and faux fur? You can use this travel capsule wardrobe for inspiration to shop your closet ... (I do this all the time. It saves you time, energy and money while giving your old pieces new life.)


Or you can show support and shop the sustainable secondhand pieces below.

Summer isn't over yet!


There's still time to relish the warm days of the Summer. So make the most of it while you can.


Whether you're planning a last-minute trip to your favorite coastal city with the kids or a girls trip with your besties, it's all about living it up and creating memories.


From the beach to the pool, we've got the looks that serve both style and function.





Poolside Posh




Some say it's a hot girl summer but I like to say it's a hot fun summer, period!


So get out and enjoy it! Punctuate your pool side look with something bold.


Opt for a suit with a flattering fit and unique print. This tie - dye two-piece suit is giving me all the festive vibes.


The styling options are endless. You can rock the full set or pair with something new. It's perfect for a late night dip with the Bae or hanging with the kids by the shoreline.

Resort Vibes



A weekend getaway is a great way to reset and recharge. So your ensemble should channel a sense of ease and comfort.


Try pairing a flowy kimono or duster with your favorite summer white look.


Add statement shoes that mirror the colors of the tropics. Top it off with a unique woven bag, which is a timeless summer must-have.

One of the Locals


Nothing says ease like palazzo pants and light layers. So elevate those summer staples by incorporating your own unique style. Try styling your fav denim dress as a vest.


Top it off with a unique vintage jewelry piece, which evokes the eclectic vibes of the local flea market.

The High Street Edit

The Sunset Collection: Behind The Scenes

By Taya Flores, High Street Fashion Co. Co - founder

Every piece of clothing has a story.

There's the creation story conceptualized by the designer. After that little seed takes root, the retailer weaves the narrative of aspirational living: This is the dress worn by the thirty-something world traveler, who loves history, vacationing in Italy and a bohemian lifestyle.


It's where you want to be and these are the clothes that get you there.

But what happens when the clothes are discarded? Does that legacy fade into oblivion?


Here at High Street Fashion Co. we love second-hand clothing, not only because it's affordable and ethical but because it's sustainable. It breathes new life into already - made pieces that would otherwise be in a landfill.



As co-founders of a vintage and second-hand boutique, Quintessa and I often find our inspiration in thrift stores and the backstory of our fall collection is no exception.


Someone in India hand beaded one of our thrifted finds. The craftsmanship is impeccable and the shirt is made out of pure silk.


Another person hand-beaded a silk handbag. What are the odds?



These beautiful finds laid the foundation for our new fall selections that comprise: The Sunset Collection.


The collection sets metallic golds and hand-beaded craftsmanship against a backdrop of warm yellows, oranges and rusty reds. The styling is transitional and features a variation of layering options that can be worn as the weather changes.


The color story is evocative of the sunset, hence the name of the collection.


We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed curating and styling it!


From our closet to yours,

Quintessa & Taya

XOXO
