La Petite Mort: Slip Into Something More Comfortable…

Apr 17.12 / La Petite Mort lpm-silk-rompers

I raided my local Value Village and walked away with 5 silk vintage nighties for a whopping $40. Last night, possibly for the first time ever, I slept in silk. It was kind of amazing.


Wallpaper Prints

Jan 25.12 / Lindsay

There’s something incredibly comfortable about old memories. Old smells, old colors, old traditions – it’s warm & fuzzy. It reminds me of home, and being surrounded by familiar people and things… it’s a good, squishy feeling. It’s the same feeling I get when I look at vintage fabrics. Old patterns and prints remind me of various [...]


WYW: An All-White Dress?

Jul 21.11 / Jennifer Nicole

My answer is already “yes, yes, please buy me one, yes,” but I think I’m biased. I love the idea of an all-white day dress, and seeing them in the display windows of the downtown Seattle H&M and on other bloggers makes me do a little white-dress dance. It’s like a rain dance, but better. [...]


I’m Wearing: Little Old Lady

Jun 22.11 / Jennifer Nicole Jen 5

Maybe it’s time I accepted the fact that I absolutely love vintage-inspired clothing. Every morning I gravitate to the same parts of my closet, peering at oxford shoes and cardigans, imagining how I can incorporate 1920s slips and thrifted jackets. My ultra-modern pieces serve as a compliment to my outfits, but they’re rarely the focus [...]

Jun 09.11 / Lindsay

I’ve been seeing these everywhere, likely as a product of the Vintage Revolution aka That 70′s Fashion Takeover that’s taken hold of the industry’s heart for the last few years. Nothing gets sweeter and simpler than a little, structured bag with hand-crafted designs in the heavy leather. I’ve seen these paired with everything from shorts [...]


That Old Feeling

Mar 31.11 / Lindsay

You may have been noticing my sartorial breakdown over the last few weeks as I find myself enjoying such oddities as… florals. Short dresses (but not too short – what?!). Pink. Yellow. Patterns. Vintage. Vineyard Excursion Dress | $64.99 Because I am still learning the ins and outs of working the eBay and thrift scene, [...]


I’ll Cover You

Jan 24.11 / Jennifer Nicole

As I was doing a little pre-Spring cleaning (don’t judge me) I found some of the vintage scarves my mother gifted to me. When I first received them, I thought I’d use them for some sort of DIY decorating project.  Now, with S/S 2011 as inspiration, I’ve decided I need to wear them. Ergo, I’m [...]
