Many know that Palm Springs is a mid-century mecca, and a perfect place to have a vay-cay lounging by the pool. But what few may know is that on your way to Palm Springs there is a perfect place for a vintage shopping pit stop in the citrus rich city of Redlands. I find myself…

I’ve been working to expand my wardrobe to feature more of just anything and everything I like. I’ve always been a big fan of Victorian inspired looks, which is one of the reasons I love a good Gunne Sax dress, and had a soft spot for gothic looks as well, which we all know takes…

As Knott’s Berry Farm’s Boysenberry Festival ran a whole extra week this year, and offered way more unique food offerings, it should come as no surprise we made another visit to Knott’s! It was surprisingly cool this last weekend, which was perfect for a dress I had been hoarding specifically for Boysenberry Festival, as well…

Last Sunday, Patrick and myself met up with some friends for tea at a tea room in Pasadena. Wanting to get out and wear my vintage Gunne Sax dresses more, I opted for one, and in walking from the parking structure to the tea room we stumbled upon the gorgeousness that is Pasadena’s City Hall,…
