Hello, hello, hello, my fantastically fabulous fashionistas! I am going to jump right to the chase with this week’s Weekly Whistle…because I absolutely ADORE the photo “prop” and the flowy summer shorts from three07! Oh, the 1964 Buick Skylark in a dreamy cobalt blue hue made for truly perfect photos….mmhmm…..it does not get much better than vintage rides and fabulous fashions! All I can say is ’64 Skylark, baby…1964 Skylark, baby!
No words can explain how much in love I am with this 1964 Buick Skylark! Thank you Joseph St. John (aka Mr. Joe) for the use of your luscious car for this lovely photo shoot! Mr. Joe isn’t just an awesome guy with an awesome car…Mr. Joe is my boss man at Real Media!

This week’s Weekly Whistle title was a struggle. 98.79% of the time I believe that I come up with clever titles. Frustrated and suffering from writer’s block–I grabbed my sunglasses and a glass of Milo’s sweet tea and went outside to lounge by the pool.
After an hour and almost falling asleep, the title came to me! I remembered a comment a nice stranger (not stranger danger–don’t worry, mom!) said to me–“I love your sunnies! Very John Lennon.” To which I replied, “Thanks so much!” and then continued to walk to my car…thankful that I was not recognized as “The VIP”. Who would have thought that sunburn and sunglasses would make such a great disguise? Anyway…long story short, that comment from the lovely stranger inspired today’s title. Thank you, kind stranger!
Now, that is enough chatting and story telling! It is time to see what the VIP’s outfit of the week is–Come on, fashionistas!
Fashion designer Gene Kagan having fun with his precious furbaby Sophie! Custom “Gus Mayer” dog treats by Generation Dog!
Hello, VIP fans! Welcome back to the Vintage Inspired Passionista blog! I have a special treat for y’all today! What is said treat, you ask? Well, I am here to talk about my superb interview with dashing fashion designer Gene Kagan of Lola & Sophie! Oh, my goodness, VIP readers! Gene Kagan is such a super talented designer with a comfortable, yet sexy eye for design. Lola & Sophie blouses leave women feeling wonderfully confident.
Don’t you just adore these Lola & Sophie blouses!
Lola & Sophie is an outstanding label created by high-minded designers Gito and Gene in the good ole’ USA! This relaxed and flowy line is inspired by two furry friends–Lola, who is a golden long haired Chihuahua, and Sophie, who is a grey and beige Havanese. As soon as a woman slips into a Lola & Sophie blouse, she begins to feel an overwhelming sense of confidence that she has never felt before.
See the VIP’s Interview with spectacular fashion designer Gene Kagan here!
Whether it is spring, summer, winter or fall, Lola & Sophie has the absolute perfect fashion piece for women of all ages and sizes. When you feel the urge for a shopping spree, stop by Gus Mayer in Birmingham, Alabama or shop Lola & Sophie online!
Awey! Look how sweet Sophie is! How could a doggy this cute not inspire a fabulous clothing label!
Personal testimony: When I was picking out a Lola & Sophie blouse, I played it safe with a periwinkle hue chiffon-style top because one–I look fabulous in any shade of blue, and two–I just could not decide which top I wanted in which color! Decisions, decisions, decisions…After the interview with Gene, he had me convinced to try on his favorite blouse. It was sunshine yellow…I normally do not look good in yellow…I thought to myself…BUT trusting Gene’s magnificent fashion talents, I tried it on. To my absolute surprise–It looked PHENOMENAL! I could not believe how bright and fun I felt in the blouse–so soft, versatile, and figure flattering! Now, this sunshine jewel is hanging in my closet. I have learned a valuable lesson–well, two–try a new style or color of clothing, and always trust the designer!
Gene Kagan, Sophie, Mattie, and the VIP had a delightful time at the Lola & Sophie Trunk Show at Gus Mayer in Birmingham, Alabama! I just love it when fashion designers come to the South!
