At the opera

With all the vintage furs and brooches and shawls at the opera (are they considered vintage if you bought them  new 40 years ago?), this dress begged to be worn.

I got it at Deluxe Junk in gastown last summer.

And had it shortened significantly so I could wear it in LA.

P.S. Rigoletto was absolutely incredible.

Love things perfectly mismatched

I can’t think of a prettier way to set a table than to use mismatched antique china. I just need to start working on my collection of dinner plates.

Some of these teacups belonged to my grandma, some belonged to other people’s grandmas. All are absolutely beautiful.

You want it?

You got it. A couple of you told me (in no uncertain terms) that you want to see detail shots of the shoes from this post and the belt from this one. Who am I to deny you?

By request

Well, kinda. My friend Ashley requested that I create this dress out of some vintage wonder and then give it to her.

Once upon a time

This shirt was a dress. I don’t have a before shot, but if you imagine what a hip grade four teacher would have worn in 1985, you get the idea.

My favourite thing about it? The tie-up sleeves.

vintage shirt mirror

This mirror’s from the Cross in Vancouver, by the way. The shirt/dress is from Deluxe Junk in Gastown. And the YSL belt is from Crossroads in Seattle.
