Myself, standing in front of a small lake with cascading waterfall in the background and pumpkins scattered about, wearing a white t-shirt with an image of a green ghost in a witch hat, rising from a silhouette of a town. Orange text reads "I met the Ghost of Oakhaven (and lived)," a skirt in matching green, orange, white and black, and an orange scarf in my pony tail.

The Ghost of Oakhaven

Alright, we are about to get personal, and talk about some serious 90s things. Growing up I watched a lot of the old Scooby-Doo cartoons on, the then new, Cartoon Network, along with other classics from the Hanna-Barbera family. I remember the Scooby-Doo marathons that Cartoon Network used to air, and my dad taping them…

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, 25 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…

Welcome to the New Atomic Redhead

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, 12 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 photos were taken from my blog and used on a website without my permission. The pictures in question were not…

Awhile ago I did a shout out on various forms of social media, and here on the blog to see if any of you, the readers, had questions for me! Well today I am here to answer them for you!

Any Burning Questions?

February 12, 2018, 8 Comments

It has been over a year since I did a Question & Answer session, so I think it’s high time to do another! So, if you have any questions, now this the perfect time to ask me about almost anything! I say “almost” because rude or inappropriate questions will not be considered, and if any…

Vintage Holiday Feature

October 6, 2017, 8 Comments

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. However, we were house hunting, I believe we may have even made an offer on a house,…

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

July 10, 2017, 13 Comments

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…
