persimmon afternoon
I have expressed my love for this corally red color already this summer – and here I am, still loving it, especially with the pop of turquoise in this necklace. My friend called this color ‘persimmon’ which I actually think fits the bill nicely. I just got this vintage Francesco Biasia black snakeskin bucket bag off ebay,…
august inspiration
… While perusing the Sartorialist (new site design!) yesterday I came across these two lovely ladies, in pretty much the perfect August city-explorer outfits ever. Cue the bold color (pink!), fisherman sweater, gladiator sandals and maxi skirts and loose plain-front shorts. All with a touch of just-rolled-out-of-bed relaxed attitude. Swoon!
a blushing bride
… This past Saturday I watched my beautiful friend Alicia (yes, that blogger extraordinaire) get married in a classic, romantic and fun fashion in Chico, CA, her and the groom’s hometown. Alicia looked perfect in her vintage-inspired ivory rosette sprinkled gown, birdcage veil and Dannijo rhinestone jewelry. It was pretty special to watch her marry her best…

Chris was influenced by time he spent in Savannah, Georgia, hanging out in old giants mansions, some a little decrepid and undone while still carrying an air…

gypsy rose lee
… I have had this vintage rose printed scarf for years – it is actually one of my favorite vintage finds. I pull it out every so often to just throw around my neck to perk up and add interest to an otherwise simple and easy outfit. It has a way of making a look and…
to market to market
The day after thanksgiving my mother and I decided to pass by the Best Buys and the Targets for a shopping experience of a more intimate kind. We spent the morning trolling Bainbridge Marketplace , a pop-up vintage/flea market housewares shop in an empty open space tucked behind some shops on my hometown’s main street. The 2 day pop-up shop was operated…
