The exclusive DLC Brooklyn vintage collection is here! Photography by Meg Shoemaker.

Clockwise from top: Wreath Collar Necklace, Rosy Collar Necklace & Ocean Link Collar Necklace

Since DLC Brooklyn uses all vintage materials, designer Susan Domelsmith has sifted through thousands of pieces over the six years that she has been collecting the components of her unique jewelry.  Some of these pieces were too special to disassemble, and from this collection that have come to us from all over the globe, we offer you hand picked pieces from the DLC vintage vaults. 

We are thrilled to have Susan open her vintage vault to us, and present her one-of-a-kind finds to the Market Publique community!

It's no secret that we spend countless hours reading our favorite blogs. Some of our favorites are streetstyle blogs, where we get a glimpse at what people wear out into the world. In order to celebrate personal style and inspire you to recreate a look (your way, of course), we have decided to institute Take it to the Street Tuesday!

Every Tuesday, we'll pick one of our favorite street style looks and a vintage item you can use to recreate the look, because we know- of of our least favorite parts about these kinds of posts is that you can't go up and ask "Where'd you get that?", and oftentimes the pieces and their makers are not revealed. We hope you like it! - See more posts like this here.

We love this simple black and white look found in Hanneli Mustaparta's blog. We love the classic black pants and white shirt look, especially with the right accessories and proportion, clearly separating your stylish self from a cater waiter. One of the key accessories here? A vintage tan leather belt with silver buckle and detailing, very similar to this one from the Market Publique House Store

This go-with-anything versatile metallic is having a shining moment. And it's no surprise, as a little bit of gold goes a long way in adding a bold accent to any outfit. One of the big trends this fall, it adds a luxurious touch to classic pieces.

Since summer is rapidly drawing to a close, I decided to go all out and dress like I am on vacation. And I am glad I did, because ever since then, it's been constantly raining in New York.

Lucky for me, I am living out my vacation fantasies in Florida, doing a little bit of shopping for the Market Publique House Store. And you should get excited! I have scored a multitude of leather pieces, sequins galore and tons of stuff for our fall and holiday shoots. Don't worry, you won't have to wait long for the sneak peek, as I am back in the city by Monday.

Anyway, back to New York and my tropical island inspired outfit...

This bustier has been one of my absolute favorite things to wear this summer. It goes with everything- a batik skirt, a tropical print, jeans and a chambray shirt... The sunnies I borrowed from Jon when we first started dating 5 years ago... I haven't really given them back, but now that we're married and live together he doesn't seem to mind much.

I am usually either in towering wedges or my trusty thong sandals, but this pair of vintage oxfords won me over with their unusual bright orangey-pink hue.

And of course, copious amounts of bangles, which I have been wearing since junior high, sometimes with outrageously large necklace. You have probably seen these in action before, here and here.

We love this girl's downtown chic style, and so we searched high and low to find pieces to recreate this look. Plus we think we can transition this outfit right into fall if we add some black sheer tights and a chunky oversize cardigan!

Here's the vintage pieces we found if you want to go for this look:

90s GUCCI Tan Pebbled Leather Bucket Bag, Market Publique House Store

90s Grunge Ditsy Floral Print Skirt, Hold My Gold

Vintage Semi-Sheer Crinkled Sleeveless Blouse, Market Publique

We're really into the graphic prints and knee socks at Marni this season, and vintage is a much more wallet-friendly way to embrace the look. Scroll down for some ideas of vintage 60s dresses that could work and transition perfectly into fall. Wear with gold sandals now, and add knee socks and chunky shoes when it starts getting chilly!

When I read about the street style snaps Refinery 29 had taken outside of the Alexander Wang Sample Sale, I never thought I would get photographed myself! I went there on Friday, a day after the sale started, and it was not too crazy at all. Jennine gave me the tip that the line was not so bad, and I managed to get in an out within half an hour. Part of the reason it was not crazy-town was probably due to the fact that the handbags and shoes were sold out, but I did manage to score the tank version of this sweater, which I love!

While outside, Karl, who shoots the Street Style shoots for the Metro Newspaper and Swagger360, asked to take my photo. Of course, I said yes, tried to maintain my balance while posing on cobblestones in wedges, and did my best to look relaxed and not get runover by a cab. Of course, this made my day! Thank you, Karl!

As I head out to yet another Fashion 2.0 Meetup, I realize I have not posted photos from the previous one!

The last meetup was Fashion 2.0's 2nd Anniversary Party, and I was so happy to be able to attend and celebrate. I have been attending Fashion 2.0 since the very first meetup ever, and I have met so many amazing people, women entrepreneurs and fashion enthusiasts through the group. If you haven't checked them out, I highly recommend it.

Yuli, founder of My It Things, started it as a way to have the fashion and technology enthusiasts together in one room, plus as an excuse to dress up, because who doesn't like dressing up? Julia, of Fashion Pulse Daily now helps Yuli organize it, and it's a great way to learn more about the industry and network with other like-minded startups and establised companies.

CONGRATS Yuli! And a big thank you for making this group happen!

Of course, I had to dress up for this momentuous occassion, so here's what I wore:

Tank, Aqua from Bloomingdale's - Did you hear about Vena Cava's capsule collection for Aqua?

Skirt, Rachel Comey from

Belt, 3.1 Phillip Lim
