15 Vintage Essentials

June 12, 2013, 28 Comments on 15 Vintage Essentials

Awhile ago I was contacted by a reader who recently noticed a fashion trend, 15 essentials for your wardrobe.  She liked this idea, but felt that the contemporary trends didn’t help her in building up her vintage wardrobe, so she suggested the idea to me! Just remember, not every piece has to be vintage! Several…

Vintage Must Have: Crinoline

August 1, 2012, 12 Comments on Vintage Must Have: Crinoline

A crinoline (also known as a petticoat) is a must have if you’re a fan of fuller skirts.  The full skirts and circle skirts of the 1950s and early 1960s require a crinoline to produce that classic silhouette seen in so many magazines of the time period. I have several crinolines, because, well, I need…

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. 🏚

For the last couple of years I have mentioned want For the last couple of years I have mentioned wanting a squash blossom of green stones to match a bracelet and ring I had, and earlier this year I mentioned I wanted to focus on buying jewelry directly from Native artists. Patrick took these comments to heart and surprised me with a necklace he had commissioned by @djstoy_86 featuring beautiful sandcast silver and Sonora Gold stones for our anniversary. I actually cried. It’s nothing short of stunning. Oh and it matches my other pieces almost perfectly!
It was the first day of a new semester of my sopho It was the first day of a new semester of my sophomore year of high school. In the minutes before the bell rang to start my new biology class there was the usual nerves and excitement of who would be in your class and each time the door opened I turned to look. Then the hottest red head I had ever seen walked through the door. It legit was the moment in Big Fish. Time slowed as he flipped his Beatle-esque hair, hand on the strap of his Timbuk2 bag. I stopped talking to my friend Paul @pdxatreides who instantly greeted him and introduced his friend @patrickarlt to me. I fell head over heels instantly, but we didn’t start dating until the following year. Five years later we tied the knot in a winter wedding (complete with glittering aluminum trees) and it was only fitting that Paul performed our ceremony. I originally searched for a vintage dress, but settled upon a new one that I loved. Three weeks before the big day I found a vintage one at one of my favorite vintage shops that fit like a glove. I decided to change into it for the reception. I especially loved it because it could be converted from a full skirt to a pencil. Today we celebrate ten years of marriage. I used to think ten years was eons. It’s not. I sometimes still feel like I’m that silly girl in high school, and I think that’s his doing. I say this in a good way, he makes me feel like no time has passed.
Well looks like thanks to @theatomicranch I have b Well looks like thanks to @theatomicranch I have bundle of new followers! 👋🏻 Hi! Thank you for taking the time to click through and follow me! 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!
