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
