Old Faithful Shop

I recently finished an office makeover project that included a fresh coat of paint, shelves and hooks on the walls for organizing and a general sprucing up of my daily work space.  In doing so, I was definitely coveting lots of items from the Old Faithful Shop.  Actually, I wouldn't stop at decorating my office space from this shop.  I could seriously raid its stock for the kitchen, the bathroom, the backyard...

Staying In

If December is the month for going out, January is most certainly the month for staying in. I myself have been sick every day of this month and have been doing the lion's share of staying in. Were I not sick I might have lounged in delicates as pretty as these pieces I recently photographed. They will be making their way into the shop through this month and the next - to make your staying in as glamorous as possible, naturally.

A gal in Dear Golden

When a gal wears a Dear Golden dress THIS well, I just want to shout it from the rooftops. Ellen (of A Wild Tea Party) recently wore The Vizcaya dress for her birthday and dare I say no one could have worn the dress better. How lovely is she? She is also wearing 1930s star hair clips from Jean Jean Vintage. She's dreamy. 

Lise

She's French, she's beautiful, she's talented & you so want to hate her. But you can't because she's too sweet and seemingly unaware of her charms. French chantreuse, Lise plays a free concert at METAL in Ann Arbor this Saturday, (while wearing DEAR GOLDEN bien sur!) and if you are anywhere near you should come out and let her transport you to a magical French place.  

EVENT DETAILS HERE.
