We’re Hillary & Linde, two Michigan girls who found a lasting friendship when we bonded over a shared obsession with Valueland, our hometown color-coded thrifting mecca, and all things vintage.  After we moved to Los Angeles to pursue other dreams (Hillary is a clothing designer and Linde is an Assistant Director) we discovered that our love of thrifting and vintage had carried over to the West Coast.  Soon our own vintage collections started busting at the seams and the Native spirit of sharing our finds came to life.  Focusing on our passion for all things Native, we provide inspiration to designers, modern bohemians, and contemporary disco divas.  A mix of gypset traveler, hand-crafted ethnic, re-envisioned treasures, with a touch of rock ‘n roll glam, Just Say Native is the haven for everything that makes you feel like your Native self.  We’re Just Saying…

In 2002, Erin Weinger and Renee Shaab met in the hallway of their Indiana University dormitory and bonded over their shared love of vintage Chanel bags and their mother’s 1980s silk shirts and shoes that were probably too nice to be wearing in Southern Indiana sports bars. Little did they know that seven years later they would both find themselves living in Los Angeles — Weinger a style journalist and publisher of StyleSectionLA.com, Shaab a luxury hotel account manager — and equally as obsessed with unexpected fashion hunting as they were that first day of freshman year. After a series of road trips throughout California produced more vintage heritage blazers, silk accordion skirts, metallic mini dresses and oversized clutches than their closets could handle, the pair decided to invite some friends to Weinger’s Los Feliz apartment for a mimosa-fueled shopping day. And their friends wanted more. So the duo held another sale. And then another. And then the Los Angeles Times took notice. And the rest, as they say, is the stuff of fashion legend.

Today, Shaab and Weinger’s pet project has morphed into Pretty Genius, a series of private pop-up vintage sales that features hand-curated, timeless clothing and accessories from the 1950s and beyond.

As for Shaab and Weinger, they still love vintage Chanel, their mother’s old blouses and desperately miss the days when their shoes were indeed better then the places they wore them to.
