Erin Hagström's outfit blog Calivintage is an exception to the definition of onomatopoeia. It's pronounced exactly how it sounds, but your actual reaction sound to the page may vary. Maybe you'll awe at her eclectic style, ooh at her eccentric look or hmm at her edgy Anna Wintour-esque bob. For sure, Erin's style is where 'Vintage' meets 'Vogue' - the sound for that? pow!

So how did Erin get into thrifting? It runs in the family:
"I’m sure if you've been reading for a little while, you’ve noticed how often the subject of my mom comes up on here! There’s no way to say it without being cheesy, but she is a true inspiration to me. She’s the woman who would wake me up early on the weekends to go rummaging for treasures at estate sales, and who took me to the thrift store at least 2 times a week after school, and who would drive us out to hell and back searching all over southern California for cool vintage boutiques and antique shops for whatever interesting things we could find. And to this day, even though she lives all the way out in Arizona, when I get to see her a couple of times a year, she brings boxes and bags of vintage finds to share with me. It would be an understatement to say that she’s the reason I am so in love with vintage and with getting dressed up in general!"

Erin's style is easy and true to Californian's laid-back cool. To borrow from the lyrical musings of The Runaways "California Paradise":
The kids are ripping up the streets
In their super cars
All night parties and loud guitars
Hot hot neighborhoods
Its the silver sound
Wicked Hollywood goes round and round
California - you're so nice
California - your paradise!
