They say every picture tells a story, and I like to think that every garment does too. That's why, with every piece you buy, I will include a delightful "story" of the life that your garment once led.

But hey it was the 80's. This velveteen top compliments these gorg pumpkin pants so well. Wear them together or wear them apart just make sure you don't fart. Don't worry June didn't fart in these pants, she's a lady for crying out loud.

Astrid's Abstract Dress

According to wikipedia; Abstract art uses a visual language of form, color and line to create a composition which may exist with a degree of independence from visual references in the world.
Also if you look up "abstract" in wikipedia Q-Tip the rapper comes up, I seriously love wikipedia; its the best. Anyway if we could just live our lives a bit abstractly like Astrid did maybe our lives would be more colorful, amazing and special. Think outside the box and wear an abstract printed dress. 
Abstract Printed Dress $34. Fits size 2 or Small.

A proud grandmother of 4, Lilly enjoyed playing putt putt gold with her youngest grandson Charlie. She was an active granny who celebrated life. Only on special occasions did Lilly wear this flower and leaf printed dress. She wore it to play cards at her senior center, on a hot date with a man 10 years her junior, and of course to play golf with her grandson. Enjoy life just as Lilly did and wear a pretty dress for God's sake; life is short!

My friend posted an article about me on her blog!!


Vintage Vantage


 Ya' know that girl that wore culottes, like, years before they were cool?  Or the girl you whizzed past at the thrift store, seriously curious why she spent so long on the 'lame rack'?  Or the girl that bought the gross men's blazer with intentions of turning it into a dress - and then actually did it?


Yeah.  Her name is Hanah Salas de Saucedo.  And she is good.



Before your bestie started wearing 'vintage' (hello...two-seasons-old is not vintage).  Before celebrities claimed non-labels on the red carpet were 'vintage'.  This girl was doing it for real.  Best part?  She's sharing the love.  Shop her vintage finds (at real-peep prices!), here.

Check out her awesome blog corkboardinspirations.blogspot.com
Thanks Sharon!
