A Spring Vintage Rainbow

A shop update filled with springy pieces in lots of bright colors! In the mix is a pair of awesome plaid palazzo pants, a '70s Lilly Pulitzer maxi dress and a really cute cherry print.

Shorts 'n' Shades

It's summer! Well I guess not quite yet. But last week's 80-degree weather got me all excited for movies in the park and backyard barbeques. I snatched up a few pairs of denim cutoffs in varying shades and sizes plus a couple pairs of oversized shades to get your summer wardrobe started. They'll all be trickling into the shop throughout this week.

1970s Sweaters

It's on the cusp of not being sweater weather anymore but I couldn't resist these two '70s sweaters. I love the colors, don't they look like they belong together? Look for them in the shop this week!

The Artist

Have you guys seen The Artist? I went to see it at a theater called NiteHawk in my neighborhood where you can watch cool movies while you swill cocktails and eat good food, basically my ideal place! At first, I was a little skeptical that a silent movie could hold my interest but it was actually a really charming movie. The late '20s-early '30s fashion is enough of a reason to go see it, I was especially smitten with the movie's "It Girl" Peppy Miller played by the lovely Bérénice Bejo. I really love her short curly bob and I can't wait to try it myself with rag rollers.

Is is Summer Yet? A Shop Update

This wacky winter weather has me feeling like spring is right around the corner, which is delusional since it’s the beginning of February. I had been saving these summery pieces for a little later in the year but I couldn’t resist listing them now, especially after a vintage appointment where I picked up lots of crochet pieces—my favorite summer textile! Most of these are in the shop now and the rest will be showing up today and tomorrow except for maybe the first dress…that one just may have found a permanent home in my closet.

Edwardian Corset Cover

Up until now I had yet to feature anything from the Edwardian era in the shop so I'm very excited to have found this little lovely. After doing some research, I found that these cotton camisoles are actually called corset covers and were worn over the corset to both protect the corset from getting dirty and to ensure that the outer layer of clothing isn't damaged by the sometimes sharp edges of the corset. This one has beautiful and intricate eyelet detailing, I especially love the straps. Look for it in the shop today!

New Year's Brunch

My roommate Merav and I hosted a (slightly belated) New Year's brunch yesterday at our apartment. It was a blast with lots of great food, good people and strong drinks! Here are a few highlights from the day.

Homemade cinnamon rolls. These were pretty easy to make and they turned out delicious! Recipe here We doubled up on the cream cheese frosting!

We drank mimosas from my '50s gold-trimmed champagne bowls. I love these so much that I almost hate to use them because I'm afraid of one breaking but they're too pretty not to!

Pretty purple flowers in a St. Germain mixing container repurposed as a vase.

Breakfast egg casserole with a potato crust, sausage, spinach and cheese. All the breakfast foods rolled into one gooey rich dish! Recipe here.

Coffee in a vintage Marilyn Monroe mug.
