Anchors Away!

Recently I had the pleasure of working yet again with eShakti, the cute, customizable, and affordable on-line collection that takes the perfect hints from the past… This time I was to select something from their Fall/Winter Collection. After mulling over their collection, I decided the red, white, and blue portion of my wardrobe needed to…

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…

Every so often you just need that one specific thing in your wardrobe. For me, it was a red pencil skirt. I had one awhile back that I talked myself into buying, despite the fact it didn’t fit very well, and every time I wore it I got grumpy. So I sold it off with…

Over the past few days I’ve been working on my Halloween costume. Yes, you read right. Halloween costume. Why? Well, part of our festivities will occur over a month prior to the holiday itself! Patrick and I procured tickets for one of Mickey’s Halloween Parties at Disneyland for September 27th! These Halloween parties are the…

A few years ago, when I first started sewing, my mother and I went to Fabric Depot so she could buy me some fabric and notions to get me started. I came across some fantastic fabric printed with little hearses on it. “Oh! I want to make a dress out of this!” I squeed clutching…

Yesterday many of us PDX ladies had the absolute pleasure of going to the home of the owner of Jitterbuggin’, Kim. She hosted a lovely open house, complete with treats, so we could try on her beautifully crafted creations. Kim’s home is so cute, adorned with fun vintage prints, records and linens. Her work space…

I think one of the highlights of our Palm Springs trip was our hotel. I find it difficult to find words for how much I love this place. So, hey, what’s better than words? Pictures! And there are a lot! Because not only am I going to show you the swank hotel is that we…

Not too long ago, I was contacted by eShakti again to try out something from their new Spring/Summer collection. And, oh, what a collection it is! I certainly had a hard time selecting something! Ultimately I chose this darling heart blouse… Unlike last time, where I stuck with a standard garment, this go-round I opted…

Vintage Must Have: Snood

February 13, 2013, 12 Comments

Okay, so this isn’t really a must have for all vintage-loving gals. But it is for those who love the 1940s. Today’s vintage must have is a snood… Snoods have a history dating back to the Renaissance, had a revival in the mid 1800s, and came back into vogue during the 1940s due to World…
