To a Prosperous Year

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…

I hope that the holiday season is treating you all wonderfully! This evening we’re headed over to Patrick’s aunt and uncle’s for dinner with loads of his family, including some I haven’t met. Sometimes I try to tone down my vintage-ness when I’m around people who don’t really know me because often such people, to…

Happy December everyone!! After a bit of shopping this weekend we put the finishing touches to our Christmas decor… Then we had our friend Anthony (who also shot our Halloween photos) come over to shoot our Christmas photo.

First off, I hope all of you (US readers, that is) had a lovely Thanksgiving! And if you’re out shopping today, please be extra careful and courteous. Last weekend Patrick and I attended the Plucky Maidens Junk Fest, a small but well worth while antique show. I’m always inclined to attend shows and shops I…

On our last day in the park this visit, I donned my Zero circle skirt and we joined the rockabilly crowd for Rock Around the Park, a day in which a bunch of rockabilly people get together and go to Disneyland. We arrived early, being one of the first people in the park, and when…

After visiting with my grandmother, Patrick, my dad, Ann, my sister Shannon and myself made it into Anaheim for three fun filled days at the Disneyland. Taking cues from our relative who has worked at the park for 45 years, we chose to go to California Adventure first to experience Cars Land and all I…

No Manly Monday today. Sorry for the inconvenience. Patrick has been swamped by work! His company is in the process of launching/announcing something new and terrific! So he has had his nose to the grindstone. Instead you get my Halloween pumpkin! After much thought and hard work, I finished my painting my pumpkin over the weekend!…

Over the weekend Patrick and myself and a few friends went out to The Pumpkin Patch for a day filled with getting lost in a corn maze and picking for pumpkins. According to Patrick I found this year’s pumpkin in record time. I often find myself in the far most corner of the pumpkin patch…

If you’ve been watching my Twitter or Instagram, you’ll have noticed weeks upon weeks of updates pertaining to my Halloween costume. Well, here it is, folks! This year I’m going as Marion Ravenwood from Raiders of the Lost Ark in her “Streets of Cairo” outfit of red harem pants and white peasant blouse (and Patrick…

The Perfect St. Patty’s Day Dress

March 14, 2012, 4 Comments

With St. Patrick’s Day this Saturday, shop windows are filled with green shamrocks and red-headed leprechauns under colorful rainbows. For me, St. Patrick’s Day has always been a holiday I ignored. To be quite honest, leprechauns give me the heeby-jeebies. But when I saw this dress I knew I had to buy it, not only…
