"We hear the secrets that you keep"

Highstreetq8 got our first confession from a hottie potatie fan:

"So I have a confession to make, did you know that I am a collector of 70's and 80's rock tour vintage t-shirts. Ya like the way guys in Kuwait collect sport's cars"

To all our die hard rock fans, or just our lady fans looking out for a guy with a passion for scourging portobello market on rainy afternoons in search for his latest vintage finds we introduce ROCKIN HOTTIE


AAAAAh the quintessential 80's pose! Highstreetq8 liked to practice this in our doorway with our poofy skirt and scrunchie'd hair when we were um (dont age yourself, dont age yourself...ack your going to age your self) 9.

You give muscle shirts a good name rockin hottie.

Lame highstreetq8 quip: This shirt wins by a LANDSLIDE.

This is not the year we were born, because we are NOT 27....and even if we were SO WHAT? True we don't really have a great career, or a husband or tonnes of cash lying around...but we have you all right?

Right??

RIGHT???

Mama's Shirt

This girl was spotted and we told her we liked her shirt. SHE FREAKED out!
"It's my MOM's shirt from the 70's". She was so excited about being singled out for such a sentimental piece that we had to give her a highstreetq8 high five!
Good job gorgeous!

Vintage Glasses in Hamra

Highstreetq8 NEVER posts pictures up of themselves, but for these glasses we made an exception!

Walking down the streets of Hamra last week, we spotted this amazing little store selling vintage sunglasses and eyeglasses on the cheap! We became OBSESSED. Not only is the gentlemen who owns and runs the store hilariously and heart-warmingly in love with vintage eyeglasses, but his daughter is the resident eye doctor so this little hole in the wall gave us an all-over feel good vibe.

For a 120 bucks we bought a pair of vintage glasses AND prescription lenses. We also convinced our fellow highstreeter friend to do the same! Viva Vintage!

Poem for Boy in Hamra

There once was a boy in Hamra,

When I went to him with a smile,

and coo'ed "Hey man I like your style!"

He almost bit off my head!

"Artistic expression is about poetry"

he said.

"Why dont you write a poem about me instead?"

So boy from Hamra, across of Bread Republic,

Thank you for your vintage style.

Even though you wouldnt tell me where you get it!

Enter the "love" at first sight.

Spotted by Little Hani

This pic and chick, induced gasping hyperventallating , "badleea" inducing sounds to come out of me (hence the "Enter THE love at first sight"). Really need we comment on the perfection of this awesome outfit? NEEED WWWWWEEEEEE ? No we need only hunt her down and steal her pants...and shirt....and shoes even if they dont fit. We love you, blue pant-ed girl. We love Little Hani for her amazing service to Highstreetq8 and high quality pics of amazing fashionistas, keep sending those pics in!

Vintage Fringe

Digging this little ladies Vintage purse and Fringe Vest Combo. Sometimes its hard to decide what to wear when you are staring at your closet before a night out on the town (and in Kuwait its more like a night out on the house party circuit). Simplifying the basics and snazzing up the accessories is a sure fire bet to cool-ness.

And domo Lady B for forwarding these shots!

"LACROIX DAHLING...CHRISTIAN LACROIX!"

So, Happy Mother's Day if you own a Flower Shop you are taking me out to dinner. As I was waiting in the most raaandom Flower Shop today, I spotted this girl. Ok...I spotted her bag, and her shoes and everything. She was very very very shy about letting me take her pic, and after lots of wrangling she agreed to pose with her purse. But can you spy her little floral haram pants? Does she know how good she looked walking into that godforsaken flower store?
Prolly.


The story of her bag is as such , vintage lacroix that was given to her by her granny. How...f'ing CUTE!

Menswear + Vintage + Suspenders= HIGH FIVE

GASP. When my fashion high-fiver and goddess fashionista sister sent me this pic of a girl she spotted at the Avenues I almost made the CRYING.
