Book Review: Wear Vintage Now!

March 10, 2020, 1 Comment

Recently I was contacted by fellow blogger and vintage enthusiast Margaret Wilds of DENISBRAIN to review her new book Wear Vintage Now! Choose It, Care for It, Style It Your Way. I’ve been aware of Margaret since I started this blog, which makes sense, because she’s had an on-line vintage presence since 1999, and she…

Well, it’s been awhile, hasn’t it? I got laid up with a really wretched cold right after Dapper Day, and only recently have I began to feel normal. And thank goodness, because Paper Moon was hosted their Full Moon party last night, and it was western themed! Paper Moon is hands down one of the…

Patrick and I are finally home from our road trip to Idaho! Why Idaho? Well, my grandfather on my mom’s side passed away, so we went for his services, but I figured if we had to go, why not make the best of it, and do a road trip? The first stop on our trip was…
