A Step Behind

Julija Steponaviciute

I always feel a step behind when it comes to fashion and fashion shows. It's great to know what is new and fabulous as soon as it hits but it isn't even Spring and it seems everyone is already worrying about Fall! I can only concentrate on one thing at a time and sometimes even that is asking too much! Let's all take a breathe and look at some fabulous SPRING pieces from Jonathan Saunders 2011 rtw. I absolutely LOVE the colors, everything feels so clean and crisp. For some reason I keep picturing juicy green apples in my head..?

Be My Valentine

GenevieveWoodford

It seems Valentine's Day is upon us....
Some of us seem to go all out while other's pass it off as just another day. My favorite friends try to persuade me that it's all a marketing ploy by candy companies. Whatever you believe have a Happy Valentine's Day. I'll leave you with some more lovely Etsy finds and when I return next week I'll have some lovely vintage YSL in the shop. Take care xoxo

Winter Blues

I am so over winter. Winter usually makes me a little blue but this one has been the worst in awhile. Today I officially decided it would be the last day for me to be sad and that tomorrow I had to get up off my butt. Lucky for you that includes posting some lovely spring dresses and fun clutches! I figured since I don't like where I'm at, I should get excited about where I'm going!

A New Day

I finally got my new rug! Well, it's new to me but it was made in the early 1900s. I'm pretty sure it was quite a bit larger and was cut down at some point. It is exactly what I wanted! There are holes and wear but it has a history! which is what I love the most. That pop of green in it is to die for!

Cat approved

Chanel and YSL

Here are some of new goodies. All vintage of course. Mostly for the style but also for the price. I'm not made of money but I still love the finer things. *sigh

My office has changed quite a bit in the last few days and of course, I've already made a mess. This is the only cat free zone in the whole house and I'm loving it!The rug is a little small for the room size but I will be adding a sisal rug under it for a nice layered look.

YSL

This was my birthday present and I absolutely adore it. The colors that radiate from the center when the light hits it, gorgeous!If anyone knows what year this is from please let me know as I have no clue.

Vintage Bottega Veneta

I added a few things to the shop today. There are lots of little YSL goodies and this 1980s Bottega Veneta shoulder bag.

I see you....and clumpy mascara.

Fab Finds

Since everything around me is covered in ice, to keep from losing my mind I've been doing A LOT! of online window shopping. I have been scanning through all the goodies in Etsy's vast vintage section and have come across quite a few pieces I would LOVE to have. Alas, I did just purchase a new (vintage) Chanel wallet AND Chanel shoulder bag so I probably shouldn't buy anything thing else....oh, and a pair of massive YSL logo earrings from the nineties. Technically the earrings are my valentines day gift from my husband. I told him yesterday he bought them for me, he was glad to know he had such good taste. lol Here are a few of my fab finds that definitely deserve a good home.
