One Last Flat Post (For a While)

HELLO!! I've been in Mexico with my hunny bunny celebrating our anniversary so sorry for the silence. I'm back and excited for my spine shoes that are coming in any day now. They got stuck in customs but will hopefully be here Saturday. Fingers crossed!! I have the Emmys Saturday too so I'd like to have the option to wear them just in case I feel like being ultra fierce and perhaps looking like a tranny.

You guys are probably sick of flats so I promise I wont post flats for a while after today. You gotta admit these are pretty great though. Do I look tan?

There she goes with her crop top and vintage culottes again. I like what I like. What can I say.

Yes that's a bolo tie! Hey Wendy B... you like??

This outfit needs some OMG rings.

These are the white pair from Chloe that I was talking about in my other flat post. I love a good deal and I love Chloe so I totally won.

Vroom vroom!

So I've always been a fan of classic cars but I've never owned one. I don't know anything about fixing them or anything but I cant help but love them. I'm looking into getting one for my next car and I'm super excited and becoming kind of obsessive.

I especially love vintage Mercedes Benz's! They just don't make cars like this anymore...

Such beautiful lines.

I think my favorite is from 1969, though most of the ones from the '60s are pretty sweet.

I'm imagining driving around in one of these and feeling pretty awesome. I also think the photo potential is pretty amazing ;)
Till then I've done some pretty high tech photoshopping. haha. Dreaming out loud...

"Oh hey guys. Just doin some shopping on Rodeo Drive. No biggie. What's that? You want a photo?? Suuuure."

"What? Oh no no, I didn't dress to compliment my car color. Oh you like it? Why thank you... And you want me to be a famous actress and model and you'll pay be a billion kajillion dollars to do so? Oh no, I couldn't."

"I'm just on my way to hang out with all my rapper friends. They said they didn't want to have a party unless I was coming so I better go... Snoop hates when I'm tardy for the party."


Do any of you have older cars?? What kind?

xox

If it's Not Brogue, Don't Fix it.

So Christie and I went to meet Paramore before the No Doubt show- yes that was a few weeks ago, but I forgot to blog it ;) They were really sweet and the lead singer Hayley is adorable and happened to be wearing a beanie that Ben designed while at Paul Frank.

Anyway, I broke out my vintage brogues finally! I found them while shopping for my first Betsey collection- you may remember the group I built around them (if you forgot check it out here) and I've been waiting to wear them.

I'm an 8 1/2 so those of you who shop vintage know how exciting it is to find shoes bigger than a vintage size 7! I'm not a big flats girl, so when I find a great pair it's extra special.

Dear Golden....pretty vintage galore!

Dear Golden is a cute little vintage shop (and one of our sponsors) that I really love! Of course, the items I posted here are some of my favorites from their shop. If you're heavy into vintage items or not, I think you may just find something here. I wish i had seen this Rose colored dress a few weeks ago, I would've bought it to wear at my B-day dinner party this Saturday! Oh well.

Ok, Ok... One More

One more group! This one is actually my favorite, but I decided to take it in a slightly edgier direction, so really... it won't look anything like this so I can show you guys. 

This is my Vintage Lingerie inspired group. Think petticoats, bloomers and garter straps! :)

So right now I'm busting my ass trying to finish the REAL sketches for the Spring 2010 collection. I have to finish by Friday so I'm a little more than a little stressed. I'll make it happen though. And I'll keep you all updated. ;)

Looking for some Vintage items? Try Sewing Momma

Here are some great items for sale at Sewing Momma's shop. Don't you just love the 2 Vintage Upholstered chairs?? And how about the Vintage hanging Cheragh? It would look so pretty over a dining room table or entryway! Check out her store here.

    

Below: She also makes many fabric storage bins in variety of fabrics. Great for organizing your kids toys or any other household items!

I Love the Smell of Balenciaga in the Morning.

Ahhhhhh Balenciaga. You've outdone yourselves again. 

These are for sure one of my top 5 favorite shoes I own right now. I should do that... make a list of my favorites. That would be pretty hard though. Sorry I'm babbling. 

ANYWAY.

Tonight is the Britney concert!! Yippee. I think I'll need to wear more comfortable shoes though, cause as hot as they are, they are suuuuper high and- I hate admitting this- hard to walk in.

Tracy Nors Flick'r...bohemiam vintage homes

I came across Tracy Nors Flick'r page & fell in LOVE with all her beautifully shot pictures! I enjoy her decor style so much & she's quite a talent....making use of an old chandelier. Recycle and reuse. She wrapped it with fabric. Don't ask me how she got it on there, I will need to do my homework on that one....thinking I may do something like that for my kitchen! She also made that paper Mache bowl....nice! Enjoy her page here and her blog here.

Note: Not all the photos are of Tracy's home, a few (like the one of the dresser, the yellow cupboard, the dog on the daybed are of Kirsten's place). Her blog can be seen: at Fleur de Boheme.

Below is her studio space.

Above, the Recycled chandelier she made....Great job!

Boots on the Brain...

I'm so excited for Fall and all the lovely boots that are sure to pop up. Every time I'm out and see an awesome pair I actually get excited for the chillier weather to come around. 

Any-hoo, I saw these in my Urban Outfitters catalogue this morning and was very excited. I love the little vintage inspired heel and round toe shape. I'm also really feeling the slouchyness of it all and imagining how amazing these will look with my new William Rast skinny jeans! ;) There are snaps on the boot so you can wear them up or down... a nice detail I think.

You can find them at Urban Outfitters for $125. An awesome deal if you ask me! (click the link for more detailed images)

THE BIG CHILL

Big Chill combines the iconic look of a 50's-style vintage refrigerator with all the modern amenities of today's contemporary appliances. I love these and came across them for the first time in Dwell Magazine. They also have stoves and you can purchase custom pieces in colors of your choice. I'm in love with the RED fridge!
