vintage finds - vintage accessories! June 18, 2009

it’s all in the details…

accessories can make or break a look, whether it’s black-tie, jeans & Ts, or even the look of your favorite room in the house. so above, i’ve assembled an array of vintage accessories for girls, guys, and home. because let’s admit it — sometimes you should sweat the small stuff.

ciao!

twilight vintage - bella’s bowling shirt May 20, 2009

Twilight… i guess you either get it, or you don’t.

i personally hadn’t given it half a thought, since i was under the impression that only teenagers would appreciate it. i was wrong. i rented the movie a week ago and i think i have now watched it about 459 times, give or take a few. yes, it’s corny. yes, it’s campy. but in this case, corny + campy = COMPELLING. it’s like a horrible bloody wreck along the side of the road. i just can’t tear my eyes away…

among its charms, you have to consider bella’s awesome wardrobe. and how can you not love a teenage girl who wears a vintage bowling shirt to the first day at her new school? great choice, bells.

above, bella’s shirt during a break from filming on the set. and a few you can score for yourself, to set you on the path of bella-ness. (now you just need to find your own edward… *sigh*)

ciao,
julie

vintage finds - spring fling! March 19, 2009

spring - that time of year when you can finally forget about a coat when you run out the door, when you can open the windows and let oxygen in, when you notice the grass turning green again but you don’t have to worry about cutting it yet!

so this week’s “vintage finds” are an ode to spring. maybe spring won’t turn your thoughts toward love, but i know it will turn them toward vintage fashion. of course, it doesn’t take the coming of spring to do that, now does it?

enjoy,
julie
