Vintage Print
This lady looks chic in her vintage dress and over sized aviators. She told me that she often wears vintage but likes to mix in designer items as well.
The ones that didn't get away!
I've been pretty good about separation anxiety when it comes to etsy sales. Sure, sure - there's been plenty of items I was sad to see go - but for whatever reason, it was good they found a new home. I'm not perfect though, and there's certainly been a few things I snatched back for myself. I'm actually proud of myself because I can count them on one hand!
The first thing - was this beautiful striped tote bag I found at a flea market for a whopping $1 !!! I felt like it was one of those Reference Library items you see and swoon over (maybe I'm blowin' a little too much smoke though) Anyway - this was back in my ebay days and I don't think anyone bid on it within the first two days, so mine it was!!
The next thing - a 50's koi fish skirt that matches a darling little romper I bought in LA at Flounce Vintage. I was going to sell them both - but then decided on keeping the romper, and then with a little help from a dear girl out in Western MA - decided to keep the skirt too! Good thing! (and thank you again Alison for all your advice!)
And my recent almost-mistake of the summer ... what might be the most sweet thing in all of existence ... a pretty little feed sack dress hand stitched by a lovely little 10 year old girl from Gully Minnesota. She even entered into her very first sewing contest! The contest information is basted at the back and I have to say, she did some impressive work!
The only problem is that it's very snug around my arms ... it's not going to rip, but there's no extra space either ... I've been wearing it around anyway - to dinner with some dear friends and then for Saturday morning coffee with Alice! Here it is in action! And I don't have a single regret about keeping it either!

rollei with my homies
photos from our rollei 35 developing pictures from this camera is a treat because the colours are always a surprise (it may just be that we've yet to master using this model). it's nice and compact and relatively easy to use but not as easy as our new friend the yashica t4! i will post pictures from that camera another time but a quick browse through the flickr tags should convince you of it's goodness.
Style Lessons From Alfred
[photo by MISTER MORT]
Alfred happens to be one of the most dapper dressers we have seen. He told MISTER MORT that he wears this suit all the time! Look how he matches his hat band with the rest of his suit. I am definitely taking some style cues from him.Check out MISTER MORT for some more great shots.
Designer's Market pics
Just want to thank everyone for coming to the Designer's market, was such a fun day!

My Hero Bill Cunningham
Every time I see Mr. Cunningham he smiles and he is always wearing blue! When I caught up with him at the light I asked if I could take his picture. He said sure, removed his cap and placed it in his basket! What a gentleman and New York legend.
Fruit Salad
Me and Anna died my hair today. It was suppose to be a different shade of my natural dark brown hair but it turned out completely black. I'm not super fond of unnatural colours, but I tried to work it to my advantage with this unnatural outfit:
The hat and the shorts are thrifted, the blouse is inherited, socks and shoes are from H&M and the bag is Vintage
Music: Bobby Game - baby big man
Next week me and Carl are going to Arvikafestivalen (Mainly to see Depeche Mode, but I'm looking forward to a few of the other bands as well!). I'll be looking for a new, bigger hat until then since I'm very protective of my skin and it looks like it might be very sunny.

Spaces I daydream about
Three summers ago my dad and grandma were trying to clean out my great grandmother's house. No, not to sell - but to rent to new tenants. I spent an afternoon wandering around scrounging up little bits and pieces to take away from the house before the new folks moved in. I think about that day a lot, and daydream about moving in, a lot - it probably finds its way into my head at least once a day ....
. . .
If I lived here I think I'd quit my job, forget California and do 1385 full time. The second floor has two bedrooms, one small enough to hold all my findings, the other would be perfect for a sewing room. And in between those two bedrooms is this beautiful floor ... I think I'd stack hat boxes and old time worn suitcases with a few stuffings for good measure. Or maybe I'd make it a sitting room of sorts.... so many possibilities!
. . .
This is the bathroom and the pantry - the light is so pretty and the I love the tiles and the lovely little cubby cabinets. Maybe I'd replace that old crumbly bathtub with a claw foot tub, I think that'd be one nice upgrade.
. . .
I think what brought this blog post on was that I was looking through some wallpaper designs and I thought about this wallpaper. I don't know if the new renters painted over anything. I cringe at the thought of it so I try to not to think about it.
It's perfect though. Prints done in a nice subtle way are always my favorite, and this one takes the cake.
Last but not least, tin ceilings.....hellooo dream world...
I'm so mad at myself that I didn't get better pictures. I think my excuse was that my batteries died, or something lame like that... isn't that always the case? Fortunately though - there is another family owned space that I can't wait to take pictures in. I took some photos of it a while back and have been trying to decide if I should share them before Jeff and I go ... but I think I'll wait!!

FAQ 004
i've received a few emails and comments regarding my make-up application so i thought i would share with you two make-up looks and their steps! long ago in a life before i was a make-up artist and would occasionally instruct people (in the flesh and online) how to apply their own make-up. please feel free to ask any questions regarding your own beauty regime and i will do my best to scrape my memory for answers.
step 1: naked face! applied evan healy's blue chamomile day moisturizer (heavenly, her whole line is perfect!) then bare minerals powder foundation and brushed my lips with my toothbrush to remove dry skin.
step 2. applied intense red lipstick by make up for ever and used an angle brush (from my paint set, hehe) to dust a light gold shadow at the lash line and beneath corners of my eyes.
step 3. all done! 
look 2!
step 1. applying nars orgasm on the apples of my cheeks in little circular motions.
step 2. using my dodgy angle brush again to apply a dark brown shadow at my lash line and winging it out a bit so i know where to go with the liquid liner.
step 3. applied liquid liner starting at the center of my lash line and working out very lightly! i prefer to use a watercolour style liquid liner (where you add the water yourself and apply with a wee brush). next, curling lashes!
step 4. a sneaky trick to lip enhancement! highlight your pout with a white eyeliner. just a little though so as not to look like a milk advert.
step 5. another lip tip! shadow your cupids bow very lightly with a pale brown liner or eye shadow.
step 6. mascara, lipstick and ta-da (please pardon the gushy picture, i was trying my best to emulate the lovely beauty ads of years before but i'm afraid am only channeling douche smile)! my lipstick here is a mix of some pastels that i have around in my kit and a tiny bit of tinted moisturizer. i've yet to find the perfect nude, perhaps you have?
Sepia days
There is something so beautiful about photographs in sepia, they always seem so much more nostalgic. I think I been having a few sepia days of late, I'm sure when the sun pops out again everything will go back to full colour.You can see more of Yuli Bow's beautiful photographs on flicker.
