Buns, Chignons & Topnots – Oh my!

5338012260_c1b9d3b8b9_z_large

When one has long hair, one is blessed with many hair options. While I tend to gravitate towards ponytails, I am enchanted by buns and chignons, intricate or tossed together and I am going to try to utilize them more in my hairstyle routine. Enjoy the inspiration.

ODLR 1979

 Oscar de la Renta dresses, 1979 photo: W: The Designing Life, 1987

This is vintage ODLR from 1979 featured in W: The Designing Life, 1987 and found via OscarPRGirl. I love everything about this photo from the dresses to the shoes to the backward locket to the girls to the dock.

I hope you’re having a good week. I’m finally feeling like myself again.

I am under the weather today. Have a good one and I hope to be back tomorrow.

Grey Dog – A Must-See

I have been hearing SO MUCH about the Grey Dog vintage boutique housed in a little 1973 Airstream trailer. The teeny mobile holds a wealth of vintage dresses (all tailored to a modern fit), baubles, sunglasses & more. I finally went last week and it was better than I could have imagined. The owner, Molly has a keen eye for items that the trend conscious will enjoy just as much as the vintage-enthusiast. There are new options almost every week and they’re all very reasonably priced. There’s even a mini-fitting room! A must-visit for any stylish Fayetteville girl-about-town!

Currently located on the corner of trenton and college avenue (across from the new skating rink)
