So so busy in the studio lately but I snapped this shot with my webcam to: (1) show off my lovely 70s dress. I think Karen Elson wears a vintage dress made in this same fabric in an issue of Lula, which kind of makes me a little cool by proxy. (2) show off how [...]
I am loving all of the pretty & graphic vintage pieces at Tree & Kimball Market. I’m a sucker for dots, stripes, black, and white.
I’m so in love with this collection from New Zealand designer Juliette Hogan. She used to work for Rebecca Taylor, and I really like her approach of soft mixed with tailored.
Last night I was lying in bed reading a 1962 Jack Kerouac interview which was insane and hilarious. I’ve loved him since I read On The Road at 15, and I think it’s high time I reread some of his books. This morning, I discovered these lovely t-shirts of largely out of print book covers [...]
These are a couple sparkling sweaters I’ve acquired recently (both from Red Light). They are both so beautiful and so so spangly. Usually when I find beaded sweaters, they are sort of big and baggy, but these fit me perfectly. I thought I’d share the sparkly goodness. I just need a simple slip dress to [...]
I’m in love with this gorgeous glasses case that reader Kim made for me and sent all the way from Australia. Can you believe it? Sometimes it is astounding to me how nice people are. It’s just beautifully constructed, and the white lace has me longing for summer already.
The weather has been absolutely gorgeous in Portland for the last week. I know it’s a false start and the rain will return, but it’s still a welcome relief. There are flowers absolutely everywhere all of a sudden. When the weather is nice, we take a lot more walks. Long, rambling walks around the neighborhood [...]
This week, I’m participating in Victoria’s Blog it Forward event. It’s sort of like a chain made up of blogs, all posting on the same theme: What Inspires Us The Most. Sounds fun, huh? And I’ve already uncovered some lovely blogs I’d never seen, so definitely check out the other participating blogs! The previous blog [...]
Dear Golden Vintage has become one of my favorite online vintage shops. I love the subdued palette of the things she chooses, it’s just perfect and utterly wearable. Look at these beauties, I could seriously wear every single thing she sells. And these two are on their way to me! I can’t wait. She also [...]
I want some floral tights like these worn by lefthandendeavor. I often acquire loud tights but then don’t wear them much. Maybe they remind me a little too much of previous fashion blunders, like the bright red, yellow, and orange photorealistic fruit printed tights I had when I was 14. They were totally covered in [...]
