The Sale is on Sale!

Today I at hard at work going through the bags and bags of spring clothes that I've been hoarding away all winter long.  It's not really fair to say that it is hard work, since I really think it is so much fun.  I never remember everything I've bought and its like discovering each and every find over again.  Thanks so much for helping me make some room for all of the new goodies in the shop by giving so many of the sale items new homes!  I'm finally making some room on the clothing racks that hold all of the shop stock but there's more to go!  So... for the next week you can take an extra 20% off everything in the shop.  Even the sale items!  Just use the code WINTERSALE when you checkout. 

Dusen Dusen

After seeing last fall's collection from Dusen Dusen I was pretty determined to get my hands on a piece.  I really like the geometric prints paired with the simple silhouettes of the dresses.  Unfortunately all the ones I had my eye on were sold out in my size by the time they were marked down on sale.  Now I'm thinking it's just as well, since I see lots in the spring collection that I like too.  Doesn't everything look comfortable?  Fingers crossed I can score one this time around. 

Weekend Update

 - vintage sweater
 - vintage skirt
 - Rachel Comey boots
 - Madewell fox necklace
 - listening to: my German lessons and not much else

This weekend Tom and I spent separately working on projects out of the house, him at the design school, me on things that had nothing to do with fashion or the blog.  We didn't see each other at all until Sunday afternoon when we finally both crashed exhausted on the couch.  We made a little buffet of snacks from the refrigerator since neither of us felt like cooking and watched the Oscars.  It was kind of long and boring but I always like looking at what people are wearing.  Michelle Willams and Emma Stone were favorites.  Now it's already Monday again and time to get back to work on the shop.  I'm sorting through  lots of spring stuff this week and will begin listing it soon!  Until then, there are still lots of winter pieces on sale in the shop.

Traveling Basics

I've been thinking a lot about our trip, even though it is still over two months away (if you've spotted the clock counting down in the sidebar, that's what it's for).  It will be my first trip to Europe so I'm pretty darn excited!  Tom has been several times on business so he'll make an excellent tour guide.  Although much of the time I spend daydreaming about all the sights we'll see and the food we'll eat and the adventures we'll have, I do spend a fair amount of time wondering about what I'll pack.  As I mentioned before, we're not checking any luggage and will each have to fit everything we're carrying into a backpack (these backpacks to be exact).  That means lots of comfortable basics, good shoes for walking, things I can mix-and-match and pieces that won't get all wrinkly after being stuffed into said backpacks.  What I have in mind looks a lot like the spring/summer offering from A.P.C.  I think I could mix-and-match my way through a two week trip with what you see here. 

Long Overdue

 - Steven Alan dress
 - vintage Levis shirt
 - vintage leather riding boots
 - thrifted J. Crew felt hat


Hey y'all!  Did you think I'd disappeared from the blog forever?  Nah, I just needed a break from photo-taking for a while.  I thought it would be a week or two and that turned into, um, a month or two.  Well, now that the temperatures are beginning to rise (not that I think that's going to stick around for long) maybe I'll venture out to document more outfits.  So, this is what I'm looking like these days.  I'm addicted to this felt hat I found at the thrift store, I'm using my hot rollers every time I wash my hair (but I like my curls better on day two - this is day one) and I'm so happy to finally have bare legs!  Now you know.  :)
