I’m finally beginning to feel better, just only a stuffy nose remains, so today Patrick and I went out to run a few errands… I grabbed an umbrella on the way out, and I’m sure glad we did, because we got showered on while we were out. We snapped these pictures outside one of my…

Due to the Hollywood’s hosting of the H.P.

The evening’s dress was made by my mum in 1970 during her senior year at college. I paired it with lots of…

For the evening I wore a butter yellow ribbon lace dress by Sophisticated Miss, with wonderful open sleeve detail. Hostess Nico Bella saw me in the lobby and called…

The Perfect St. Patty’s Day Dress

With St. Patrick’s Day this Saturday, shop windows are filled with green shamrocks and red-headed leprechauns under colorful rainbows. For me, St. Patrick’s Day has always been a holiday I ignored. To be quite honest, leprechauns give me the heeby-jeebies. But when I saw this dress I knew I had to buy it, not only…

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…
