Two Wild and Crazy Guys

Last week one of my dreams finally came true! I got to see Steve Martin live! Oh, along with Martin Short! So, yes, a little fun fact about me, I love Steve Martin, but I’m actually not the biggest fan of his movies. Sure, like anyone who lived through the 90s, I adore Father of…

Long Form: My Style Evolution

May 16, 2018, 24 Comments

Ages ago I was asked to do a post about my style evolution. This is a subject I’ve eluded to and touched on briefly here and there, but this month on Instagram brought The Vintage Fashion Challenge – an Instagram challenge with daily prompts about vintage style. One of the prompts was “Style Evolution” and…

As mentioned in previous posts, Patrick and I have been hard at work on a new blog redesign, and here it is! For some time now I have really wanted to and have been working to shift the focus on Atomic Redhead to encompass more than just me and my wardrobe. With the move to…

Long Form: The Truth Behind Blogging

March 1, 2018, 11 Comments

Recently I had one of most annoying and upsetting things that happens to bloggers happen to me. It wasn’t the first time, and it won’t be the last, I’m sure of it. Two of my pictures were taken from my blog and used on a website without my permission. The pictures in question were not…

Ages ago I met an editor at Engaged Media (the publishing powerhouse behind vintage favorites such as Atomic Ranch and Flea Market Decor) and we talked about our apartment being featured in their special holiday issue, Vintage Holiday.

We Bought a House!

October 5, 2017, 12 Comments

Alright, so the BIG news I’ve been hinting at! We bought a house! After over a year of searching, being outbid twice, we finally got one! It’s not the amazing mid-century modern or crazy 50s ranch I had hoped for, as it is relatively modest on the outside, but it was built in 1954 and…

Long Form: Reasons for and the Transition To California

When I asked what you wanted to see on the blog, someone asked to share our transition to Southern California from Oregon, and discuss if there were any regrets, differences between the two locals, and any tips for those thinking of moving. I’ve been working on this post for awhile, but was on the fence…

Why Do I share My Outfits?

June 25, 2017, 37 Comments

Lately I’ve been in a battle with myself and my blog. With what I want my blog to be, and what my time allows for. I realize part of the problem at the moment is the time of the year. The later parts of spring and the first half of summer are always rough for…
