Yesterday Sara, who I met at the Fur & Feathers luncheon, came down from Seattle to get together with a few of us vintage gals for an afternoon of shopping! Also included in our group were Solanah and Cassandra of Dear John Vintage. After a tasty lunch at Kenny & Zuke’s, we popped over to…

I’m Ready for My Close Up

Over the weekend I had the absolute pleasure of being a part of a vintage fashion documentary. Awhile back, a gal named Justine contacted me about possibly participating in her film. I immediately said yes, and after e-mailing back and forth, she came to visit and we spent the weekend shopping, filming and chatting about…

Last night brought the season finale of Mad Men and a crowd of well dressed people to Portland’s Hollywood Theatre. For the evening I wore a different dress than I intended. Originally I was going to wear a chartreuse number that I thrifted awhile back, but when I walked into Hollywood Babylon this last week…

Last night Patrick and I went out to dinner with lovely Solanah and her husband, Sam, in Portland’s Pearl District. We dined at Irving Street Kitchen, however, all of us failed to remember the hoopla that surrounds the Pearl come First Thursdays. Silly us. But regardless, we had a delightful time chitchatting (Solanah and I…

Another Sunday…Another Mad Men…Another swingin’ 60s outfit… Last night I really broke out the mod with this geometric navy and cream mini dress. Look at that hemline! I came in a very close second in the evening’s best dressed contest. I lost out to a gal that I’ve chatted with quite a few times over…

Yesterday I joined many other of my well dressed vintage friends for an afternoon Garden Party filled with treats and sangria at the lovely home of Garb-Oh Vintage owner Rhiannon. Prior to my ride over to Rhiannon’s, I took some pictures of my full ensemble. This late 1950s or early 1960s number is another from…

Wednesday night I had the absolute pleasure to go out with Julie of FabGabs as Solanah of Vixen Vintage for cocktails. The occasion? We all had fur stole capes. But before we get to that…Patrick snapped a few pictures before leaving, as to get a view of my stunning dress for the evening… Julie’s is…

“What Would it Take to Make You a Queen?”

For Sunday’s episode of Mad Men I felt in the mood for a bit of flapper flair (since the week brought the release of the trailer for Baz Luhrmann’s remake of The Great Gatsby) but sixties style of course! I can’t help constantly doing the Twist in this outfit. It is just too much fun.…

While I love filling my closet with treasures from the past, sometimes those treasures from the past don’t love me. I can’t tell you how many times I have fallen in love with something on the hanger only to have it not fit. Additionally, there are some pieces, such as blouses and pants, that are…

Friday afternoon found me and my friend Angelica, as well as her cousin and aunt, driving over to the home of Julie Bergmans, owner of Fab Gabs, for a wonderful as-is sale. This gal had six, count ’em, SIX, clothing racks in her living room full of vintage goodies and a bit of some amusing…
