Fall Fantasies

Have you ever noticed the ivy hanging on to its green?

Have you ever noticed the crisp shadows?

Have you ever noticed the beauty of dying grass?

Have you ever noticed the melancholy of a shortened fall day?

Have you ever noticed the sharp slant of the sun?

Holiday Wishes

As the bustle of the holidays approaches don't be caught out in the cold, a rare 1920s beaver/raccoon fur coat is just what the doctor ordered.

For those of you in warmer climates, an exquisite 1960s brocade evening coat adds the perfect splash of color to a delicious 1960s champagne gown.

The silk shantung gown boasts a flattering train.

This gown leaves us all a little speechless. It is made of shimmering silk shantung in green/gold champagne. Large appliques of various sized rhinestones, large & small pearls, seed beads , and lace set off the simple column shape of the dress.

A Tribute to the Art of Uncle Art

This past Veteran's Day, we paid tribute to A.W. Byron (Uncle Art) by using his 1917 Graflex camera along with our digital camera for an inventive photo shoot (inspired by the photographic stylings of Kristybee).

We had secretly hoped to see residual images from post WWI Europe where Uncle Art was commissioned to "travel to the capitals of all nations asking for reparations from Germany". But instead were pleasantly surprised by the romantic, quiet beauty of the photographs.

Primetime Vintage

If you don't know her, let me introduce you to Ms. Emma Pillsbury, the OCD school counselor from the hit Fox show "Glee". Her fashion choices are an exquisite mash-up of J. Crew meets vintage; prim, yet sassy and always colorful.

Quirky is good.

Classic Plaid

Whether you love the feel of a soft flannel skirt, or the innocence a fabulous school girl suit (add thigh high tights & heels), or the classic simplicity of a Scottish-inspired kilt, plaid is an ever evolving fashion statement. As fresh today as it was decades ago.
