So..I actually wore this yesterday but several people were nice enough to tell me they liked it so I thought I’d share.
Sheath – Vintage, Slip – American Apparel, Shoes – Forever21, Bracelets & Earrings – Daisy Exchange
See this post for the first installment.
I am quite literally captivated by Lara Stone and her versatility. I barely recognized her in this editorial. More images of Lara in Fashion Inspiration.

Mad Men has inspired The Huffington Post to theme an addition of “Let’s bring it back” with all the lost grandeur of the 60’s era that should return. On my list:
Men in hats
Martinis at lunch
Elaborate up-do’s
I’m all about some red lips at any time
Supper Club
Brooches
Three piece suits
Office bars
Horn-rimmed glasses
Dinner parties
Thankfully MM returns this Sunday! See the whole article and all the images here.
Maybe it’s moving, maybe it’s Mad Men or maybe it’s just me but I really want a bar cart. I recently found the amazing site 1stDibs, as mentioned here. I don’t yet know how it works, exactly. I think you have to become a member to purchase anything, but it might be a worthwhile endeavor as they have a wealth of really cool furnishings and almost anything else you could possibly want.
Back to bar carts, I think you could find something at a local thrift shop and fix it up. 1stDibs has so much in the form of bar carts that it’s nearly impossible to choose a favorite.

Aren’t you the most beautiful thing ever? Don’t you want to come home with me?
1920’s Art Deco Sapphire and Diamond Ring, $4,500 from here.
Must share. Must share! These are the most gorgeous, stunning, lovely (expensive, slightly, but these dresses are works of art…honestly) drool-worthy dresses. I LOVE a good dress and wear them more often than not, especially in the summer. Please take some time to peruse the girly, frothy, voluptuousness of Posh Girl Vintage. I especially die over their wedding/party dress section!
A few faves:

PS: here’s a pic of Birdie – I’m forcing my love of dresses on her!
Who doesn’t love an amazing vintage find? You know it’s one of a kind, and that holds a lot of the appeal. I love to go to thrift shops and vintage boutiques but I’ve recently noticed that there is a wealth of fun/affordable/lovely vintage online. Perusing is almost as fun as trying on!
I go through phases with ebay, sometimes I’m constantly on it and others…I forget. However, I have recently been on a hot streak! It’s such a great place to find vintage clothes, jewelry…really anything you don’t want to pay full price for as well as one of a kind items. Check out my latest finds…
Peek-a-boo 80s dress $12
Bone fanny pack!
$9 shirt dress
$9 mini dress
$2 love knot brooch – to be worn on large gold chain, obvi.
One of my fave purchases of late: $13 Vintage perfume bottle charm and chain
$20 vintage dress
$6 Mother of Pearl cuff
STUNNN Lucite wedges (I am obsessed with Lucite lately)
$.99 white round clip earrings…so mod
ebay is back y’all…here are some of my favorite spots for vintage clothes. I can’t believe I’m sharing this because I know some of you may or may not outbid me one day! PS: All of these are top-rated sellers :)
Thriftwares – extremely chic, bidding wars can ensue
Twitchvintage – great stuff, small sizes
Hollywood Style Vintage – really fun stuff
Tin Roof Vintage possibly my favorite fave
Bonjour Vintage
Bustown Modern
American Archive – really good, can get expensive
Valentine Vintage
Retro Rag a little iffy, but cheap
You’re welcome. Happy Weekend!
I just saw this on the Huffington post. Apparently, Martha Stewart used to model (for Chanel no less!) and she is oh-so-cute!

Hello! I’ve been away at the beach as I mentioned here. It was lovely and I got a bit of a tan. But, it’s Monday and that means…back to work!
I discovered two noteworthy things while away.
1. I started and finished the most lovely novel: Suite Francaise by Irene Nemirovsky. We are reading it for my book club and once I realized the context in which it was written, I was blown away and couldn’t get enough. Nemirovsky writes of the mass exodus from Paris when the Nazis invaded with clarity and poise which is particularly intoxicating because she was writing it as it happened. She was murdered at Auschwitz in 1942 and the novel remained unknown until 2006, when it was published. Go here for the NYT review.
2. Some gorgeous vintage jewelry via Charleston Magazine.
I’m dying over this ring with the yellow topaz but can’t find it anywhere on the website of the jeweler, Joint Venture Jewelry. I did, however, find all of these gorgeous (and affordable) rings!
The magazine also featured Kwait Vintage Collection and I’m not sure what to do with myself!
I also found Croghan’s Jewel Box, Buckar and Skatell’s.
Hope you had a lovely weekend!
