Vintage Butterfly

I’m Kimi Encarnacion and I live in southern California. I guess you could say I’m a vintage butterfly. I go where my eye takes me and I don’t follow any rules. I fell in love with thriftshops as a teenager and have collected vintage clothing ever since. My home is filled with junk store discoveries and curbside treasures. I traded Utah for Los Angeles at age 17, I studied fashion design, I sang in a rock band, I dabble in everything and I’m completely enamored with my family. I have a knack for making something out of nothing. For making things fit and work. Mostly cuz I mess everything up the first time I do it! I started this blog as a social experiment to see if anyone would pay attention. I now realize it helps justify all the time I spend doing “nothing” so when people ask me what I’m up to I can whip out a somewhat satisfying answer. I’m not sure where California Pixie will end up but I have a ton of ideas!
My life is a big mish mash of FAB old stuff, fun people and lots of adventure. It’s my passion. It borders on obsession but I don’t mind, I really am crazy about it!
Take a peek! Get inspired!
















I’m a happy girl.
I needed more Kimi in my life :)
Ya baby!!!!
Yay!! I am so happy to see this beautiful blog. You have so much to offer and so much for me to learn. Your passion (obsession) will inspire so many. Can’t wait to see more.
Ahhh Sam…your are good to me!
Adore the obsession. Speaking of butterflies…the one you sewed in my wedding dress? Another thing to blog about. I love you so much.
