Real Fashionable Men Vol. 1

November 10, 2013, 7 Comments on Real Fashionable Men Vol. 1

In my last vintage photo post I highlighted more fashionable ladies, and while most of the time I look for well dressed gals from days gone by for inspiration, every once in awhile I come across a photo of a gentleman I just can’t pass up. I think it’s time we highlight some of these…

Boys and Their Cars

July 12, 2013, 7 Comments on Boys and Their Cars

Here’s another peek into my vintage photograph collection… Growing up with a hot rodder for a dad, I have a very strong passion for old cars.  Heck, my dad could be a series of posts, or even a whole blog. But right now, we’ll leave him outta the spotlight.  The point is, one of the…

Bakelite & Bowties

May 19, 2013, 21 Comments on Bakelite & Bowties

This morning a group of us vintage gals, and guys too, got together for brunch at one of Portland’s swankest restaurants, Gracie’s.  As always, we had a theme…today’s theme? Bakelite and Bowties.  I’m loving that we’re coming up with more co-ed friend;y events.  It’s so nice to see men all dapper…even if we only had…

Manly Mondays: Jackets

September 17, 2012, 2 Comments on Manly Mondays: Jackets

Mens jackets can be a huge hit or miss for me.  While most men can’t go wrong with a good leather bomber jacket, I can’t pull that off and I’ve lost my taste for sports coats, so I have to look for vintage jackets. I started looking for vintage jackets to replace my classic Dickie…

Manly Mondays: Shoes

August 20, 2012, 2 Comments on Manly Mondays: Shoes

Until around a year ago I wore exclusively Converse and would simply buy a new pair every year when the old pair wore out. Then I found this amazing pair of Justin boots at a local vintage store that felt like they were made for me. Since then I have been hunting down vintage shoes and…

Manly Mondays: Shirts

August 12, 2012, 3 Comments on Manly Mondays: Shirts

Contemporary mens fashion can sometime seem a little dull… Jeans, t-shirts, sneakers, etc., everything emblazoned with logos and brands. Vintage shirts however can often be found for less than contemporary shirts and come in a variety of styles and fashions, not to mention they tend to be of better quality. 60s Button Downs I’ve come to love these 60s…

It may seen strange that in a series about vintage mens fashion that I’m going to tell you go out and buy new jeans, but read on and find out what to buy and why. One of the best favors you can do for yourself is to stop buying pre-washed, pre-shrunk jeans at the mall…

Over the last few months I’ve been OBSESSED with Over the last few months I’ve been OBSESSED with @cerro.gordo.ca on YouTube - one man, alone in an abandoned silver mining town from the 1860s that he owns. Well, he’s not totally alone, he has some kitties and goats to keep him company! I highly recommend watching! And if you like what ya see, he has merch (including this tee and more) and a Patreon that helps him restore the place. I can’t wait to visit the place in person one day. 🏚

A few things, that article is a few years old now, shortly after the shoot my husband and I purchased a 1954 ranch in Anaheim (just next door to the quaint town of Orange) and we’ve also added some new (to us) aluminum trees to our forest! If you hop over to my blog not only will you see how we have decked our halls this year but you can check out our home, adventures, and more! The link is in my bio! All that said I do love that they continue to reshare that article because it showcases mid-century living doesn’t always require a mid-century home! Thanks again for following and I hope you’re all having a lovely and safe holiday season! 💖

Bummed to hear the old Downey Cadillac dealership, Bummed to hear the old Downey Cadillac dealership, a marvel of mid century design, is being demolished this week. I beg that property owners listen to historians and try to value the history of their land, and work in tandem to preserve and repurpose instead of just tear down. Search “Downey” on the blog for more images of when I visited the property back in 2018. Link on profile.
