Fall Finds from Orange

October 20, 2013, 15 Comments

One thing I didn’t really talk about when I shared our travels to California was our visit to Orange for shopping and lunch with Patrick’s sister. I didn’t really discuss it because I didn’t have any pictures! Because, well, someone (ahem, not me!) had a little accident with their camera, which resulted in us having…

Autumn Tones

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. I’ve been feeling under the weather, and was in bed most of last week. But I think I’m on the up-and-up. Let’s hope so, because my favorite kind of weather is happening this week…sunny, dry and cold. It means I can wear suede, and I do love me…

Warming Up to Fall

October 4, 2013, 11 Comments

It’s officially fall, and while I used to eagerly await this season, this last summer I was not. Visiting California prolonged my summer, and as we landed in Portland, grey clouds and buckets of rain welcomed us. In the last few days, I’ve worked on switching my wardrobe over to my fall/winter selection and I…

A Brother for Algernon

December 15, 2012, 12 Comments

Yesterday Patrick and I celebrated two wonderful years of marriage. It was a day of being rather lazy and taking time to relax before our trip to California next week and the craziness of the holidays that is just around the corner. We also exchanged gifts, and Patrick gave me something I’ve been dying to…

The Autumn Wind…

While the Christmas season may be in full swing, I’m still trying to eek in a few more autumn color scheme outfits before December hits…like this Kathrine Hepburn inspired ensemble… It’s no lie that I’m a huge fan of 1940s blazers. There are so many different styles and cuts. And I always seem to find…

Cranberry & Honey

Well, autumn is in full swing here in Oregon. Leaves are falling, it’s cloudy, rainy and cold. But still, fall is my favorite season, which is always has been. I remember growing up in the minority regarding this. Most of my friends favored summer. But I adore pumpkins (including their yummy flavor), leaves that crunch…

The other day I popped into one of my favorite vintage shops, Hollywood Babylon. I hadn’t been in in awhile, and peeked about to see what was new and I ended up coming home with a skirt and a pair of shoes. The shoes I had been drooling over for ages, but they were pricey. …

Frankenweenie

Last night Patrick and I went to the cinema to see Frankenweenie. And I’ll admit, you really can’t keep me away from a Tim Burton film. Burton is one of the few directors out there who really can make the morbid truly charming and even lovable. I grew up watching the original Frankeweenie on The…

Indian Summer

October 5, 2012, 7 Comments

Oregon seems to always have Indian Summers. It’s almost as if our months are all off. Winter lasts clear into April, and summer into October. I try not to complain when we have nice weather, since Oregon is known for its rain, but I have loads of woolen skirts and suits that are beginning to…

Vintage Must Have: Overshoes

January 20, 2012, 2 Comments

As it rains cats and dogs here in Oregon, all I can say is thank goodness for my vintage overshoes. Overshoes, galoshes, shoe covers, whatever you want to call them, are a must-have for any vintage dame who lives in an area with lots of snow or rain. So, what exactly are they? Overshoes are…
