One of my all-time favorite television shows is I Love Lucy. Not only is the show utterly brilliant, Lucy became an instant style icon for me.

I’ve mentioned a handful of times that I’m a big fan of western wear as well as a few western themed shows and movies. One of my favorite shows of all time is The Adventures of Brisco County Jr., a shortly lived series in the early 1990s which starred B-Movie actor Bruce Campbell. In my…

Last night I got together with Angelica, Rhiannon of Garb-Oh Vintage, Christine of Living Threads Vintage and Sandi of Lorrel Mae’s for an evening of cocktails and chit-chat at the lovely Secret Society. The evening and cool January weather proved the perfect opportunity to wear one of my new favorite dresses, this silver number… Regrettably,…

How To Maintain Your Vintage Wardrobe

Vintage is many things. On one side we love vintage because it’s unique, more flattering and of better quality than the majority of contemporary clothing on the store racks today. However, vintage isn’t without its problems. How many of us have suffered a stain or tear or lost a tap? Part of wearing vintage is…

Okay, seriously, this blog post is long over due… But better a little late than never, eh? Just prior to leaving for California (the December visit that is, this post isn’t that late!) I was awarded the Liebster Blog Award from fellow vintage blogger Hannah of Just Peachy, Darling. If you’re unfamiliar with the award,…

Last night Patrick and I participated in libations and laughter at AlexSandra’s (that is of course of AlexSandra’s Vintage Emporium) New Years celebration. It was an evening of delightful conversation, liquor and vintage party hats and noise makers… For the evening I wore a different dress than I intended…I purchased a delightful silver number at…
