I have been searching through our endless internet to bring you another fabulous Brown Girl Who Loves Thrifting and Vintage!
Sarah is a Chicago based vintage-ista and made a name for herself with her fabulous vintage inspired hats. Besides making hats and maintaining her blog, Sarah also has an Etsy store and recently she and her BFF renovated a 1970's Winnebago called "Winnie" to slang their vintage goodies in their new mobile shop called Lost Girl's Vintage.
What is your background? I am 100% Arab but I'm sure I have a lot of French and Spanish ancestors since Morocco was colonized by both.
What do you love about vintage? Vintage to me is a way to have something unique, it's owning a piece of history and there may be stories behind the pieces of clothing you purchase that is a whole lifetime older than you.. Clothes were made with care and a lot of attention to detail, that's something we miss out on a lot with contemporary clothing.
What is the name of your mobile RV? I started a mobile shop with my business partner Kyla Embrey. It's called Lost Girls Vintage and it's in a 1970s RV that we affectionately call Winnie. For the past two months we've been working on gutting and restoring it and we finally had our grand opening this last Friday.
Is the RV for your hat collection? I plan on making hats again as soon as we hit the road! What better place to sew away than on 20 hour road trips? I hope to include some of my designs in the RV in the future.
What inspires your outfits? A lot of different things inspire my outfits - color pallets, jewelry, art. I try to mix contemporary pieces with vintage in order to create a unique look. I love large statement pieces whether it's a huge fruit necklace, or a gold sequin jacket. I feel like my clothes should reflect my personality!
