We're loving the trend posts that Holier Than Now has been doing lately, and are so excited to be featured again - this time via some capes from The Frippery.

The comic book-style story is oh-so-appropriate for the cape subject matter, and we loved all of Ann's picks. Click here to read the full post on Holier Than Now.

The Batik Trend on Holier Than Now

We were thrilled to find some of our vintage dresses featured on Holier Than Now, as vintage versions of the Batik trend, which was seen in full force at the Mara Hoff Man runways. Even better: this Sping wislist of the trends is part of a series! Can't wait to see more!

The Chictopia 10: Social Influence Summit

We are so excited for tomorrow's Chictopia 10: Social Influence Summit. Market Publique is sponsoring the event, and I will be in attendance, of course. Wouldn't miss it for the world!

Today is the last day to register for a ticket, so hurry up and buy one! The caliber of the speakers, including Susie Bubble, Judy Aldridge of Atlantis Home, Naomi Nevitt and some of our favorite bloggers (who we've sponsored too! wooo!), Rebecca from The Clothes Horse and Liz from Late Afternoon. 

Plus, there will be a designer showcase featuring Market Publique seller Corvus Noir and friend Alexandra Grecco who will debut their latest collections. 

See you there!

Also, there's an after party hosted by Chictopia and The Six Six Sick girls at the Tribeca Grand later tonight! Come celebrate! (And note the new location...).

The event was covered in WWD, so exciting! See below...

 Woo! Market Publique is in WWD!

Market Publique featured on GretaGuide.com

Last Tuesday, sustainable style blogger Greta came by our studio to see where the magic behind Market Publique happens. 

We have her the tour, and she browsed through the clothes we have picked out for our upcoming shoot (with none other than Rebecca of The Clothes Horse!). She also looked through some of our shoes and fell in love with a pair of black suede platforms with a bow - aren't they adorable?

We later went to my favorite vegan restaurant ever, Bliss, for lunch and some fresh juice to chat about vintage, sustainable style and upcoming collaborations. Read all about it on her blog!

And keep your eyes peeled: Greta will host an auction on her site soon... stay tuned for more details.

It was so fun to meet Greta on Tuesday, and then we got to hang out a little more last night, at the Fashion 2.0 Style Coalition Awards Party. She wore the shoes she brought from us and looked super adorable, as you can imagine!

Here's a pic of Greta and me hanging out at the Fashion 2.0 party with Keiko Lynn. It was so much fun!

I wore a crazy black wool vintage dress with insane silver sequin bow details at the neck and sleeves. Isn't it out of control? Plus my deco diamond earrings by Wendy Brandes, which I adore and come out for special ocassions. Nars pink lipstick in Roman Holiday completed my 80s look. 

My dress garnered some attention, which was surprising to me since there were SO many fabulous outfits. Despite the huge snow storm, people really rallied! A designer came to ask me if my dress was vintage or from TopShop because she and her friend (Michelle from She Finds)  had made a bet (she won!)- and of course I set the record straight: vintage all the way!

It's actually an 80s Adrienne Vittadini I got at Horizons. I removed the shoulder pads for sanity's sake.

The fabulous ladies at stylish biking blog Let's Go Ride a Bike interviewed me for Part III of their Vintage Style series.

If you're not tired of hearing me cooing over my vintage trike, go on over to their blog to read all about my biking and triking life - from when I was a kid to riding my bike around Brooklyn now. Strange things and experiences came out, and you'll probably learn more about my cycing life than you ever wanted to know...

Also, apparently, adult tricycles is where it's at! Check out this article (found via Catherine's comment on LGRAB) on the Washington Post.

We were interviewed by Diiver about what Market Publique is all about, how the idea came to us and other fun tidbits about the company and myself *blush*.

You can read all about it on their website. Thank you Diiver!

Market Publique, mentioned on the Vintage Style trend on The Daily Green

Wow! Sammy does love us! She was interviewed by The Daily Green on the Vintage Style trend for the 12 Old Trends That Are New Again for 2010 feature. We love the trends they picked and the old vintage photos they paired with each trend. We completely agree- people are more and more looking for one-of-a-kind but still affordable pieces to add to their wardrobe, and vintage is an excellent solution, which happens not only to be fashionable, but also sustainable. Win-win.

We are especially fond of the Vintage Cocktails trend (slide 5) & Cooking at Home (slide 11). Be prepared from some tips from us on these trends soon.

Thank you Sammy!

The ever-stylish Greta Guide recently interviewed Sammy of Sammy D Vintage, one of my favorite local vintage sellers.

We were so excited that Sammy mentioned Market Publique as her favorite new site to shop vintage online!! Thank you Sammy! Plus check out all her tips on what to look for in vintage shops. 

Sammy D loves MP! (say it outloud, it rhymes.)

If you haven't checked out Sammy's collection, make sure you visit her at The Brooklyn Flea. I've scored many a fabulous (and affordable!) find from her, including both of these sequined pieces that I've worn to our last two events. After all, Sammy is the queen of sequins! Check out the 10lbs. of sequins she wore to the Stylecaster party, if you don't believe me!

Guess who I saw when I opened my email today and read the Bust Magazine's weekly newsletter, BUSTline?

Traci and me! That's who! There we are, smiling for the cameras in bedecked in black vintage sequins.

Traci's boyfriend Ben also made an appearance in the photo galleries, as he was trying on a vintage buffalo plaid wool shirt. Ben and Jon helped us out a ton with the oading and set up - so HOLLA!
