Last weekend we had such a blast being a part of the vintage pop-up marketplace, A Current Affair. There were quite a couple changes to this show than previous ones I have done (actually had a shop sign!). Here are some snaps from the March 2013 A Current Affair vintage show! Hope you can make it out to our next POP-UP event! Lots and lots more photos over at Adored Vintage Pop-Up Gallery.

Hey, it's our new gal, Lauren! :) See more snaps here: Adored Vintage at A Current Affair.

A week from now I'll be traversing the gorgeous Arizona desert on my way to a wedding amidst the stunning landscape of Northern Arizona. Flagstaff and Sedona are my favorite cities I've visited in Arizona and I'm ecstatic to be able to visit again (I haven't been since I was 15!) Here's a little back story on why this outfit post is inspired by horses...

When my family and I visited Flagstaff we were scheduled to do a tour through the desert on horseback, but at the last moment a thunderstorm rolled in and our horseback riding session got canceled. Hopefully I'll get a chance to do the tour this time around!

The 1970s is one of our favorite periods for fashion, or rather, a very specific couple of years in the 1970s is one of our favorite periods for vintage fashion. Those 3-4 golden years in the 1970s when the 1920s/1930s made a short comeback and the Edwardian revival from the late 60s was petering away into the first half of this decade.

I honestly thought yesterday was St. Patrick's Day (posted St. Patrick's posts on facebook...whoops!), so this outfit was not chosen because today is St. Patrick's Day, but coincidentally, I was the greenest amongst friends today! I was at a worship/prayer workshop last night and was chatting with a friend and exclaimed "HA! you're not wearing green and it's St. Patrick's!" meaning to pinch him and he responded with "It's not until tomorrow!" So, joke was on me as I wore green yesterday as well!


I had planned to wear this outfit to a picnic party at the park, which got canceled at the last minute, oh well, I just looked quite festive! This vintage 1940s skirt is one of my favorites in my personal collection because it easily can be a modern day skirt. The giraffe print is amazing as is the small "bustle" detail in the back.

When I first noticed this CHLOE blouse I almost passed it up. I'm not really one to purchase expensive items for myself (let alone chartreuse!), but upon trying on the blouse, I immediately fell in love. I just LOVE the color, but have never ever worn it. This is the only yellow/green garment in my creams-peach-pink filled closet!


My favorite element of this blouse is guess... if you said the sleeves, by golly you've got it! I feel as if I should be writing poetry with a quill pen while wearing this blouse and I have to be honest that at one point today I was quite tempted to walk around with my hands on my waist as to show off my billowy sleeves. Haha!





So, there we have it...what I wore on St. Patrick's Day...an all green outfit without meaning to wear all green, but well, I just went with it.

A couple of weeks ago I was chatting with a girlfriend about hosting a party soon and it came to my mind to plan a good old fashioned tea party. Then I thought, well do women really like that sort of thing? Is it really old fashioned, do we even know how to have "proper" tea? I certainly don't, but I would love to learn!

Fast forward to the other evening I was meandering about the internet when I came across this vintage postcard of "The Old Ivy Cottage" and I wondered if it still existed in Nantucket, Massachusetts...

If I were to host a tea party I'd love to have tea in the backyard of this stunning ivy covered home amongst all those bright blossoms! Naturally my outfit would be inspired by modest styles from the 1950s and feminine details on a cardigan and sweet notes on the dress.

Would you attend a tea party?

This afternoon we spent photographing several antique and vintage jewelry pieces for the shop! My favorites are the art deco necklaces and I am most tempted to keep them all for myself! The floral enamel brooches and earrings were all purchased from the same estate and I have to wonder what lovely lady had such a dainty and pretty collection. Browse & shop our vintage & antique jewelry here.

A couple months back a lovely friend introduced us to the shop owners of Individual Medley and to the shop itself and it was an instant mutual respect and admiration for each other's handiwork. Justin and Monica have curated the most wonderful selection of men and women's clothing, home goods, accessories, and children's wares we've seen in awhile. Their industrial meets western shop in Atwater Village is always filled with the scents of flowers, sage, and incense and the product presentation tempts the senses to be tried on and touched.

To top of their well stocked shop, these high school sweethearts are such genuine, kind, and solid people and have shared with us how they're living the American Dream. Lots of hard work, determination, and taking risks. Much adoration to these two and their amazing shop!

The women's clothing selection is well stocked with pieces that are easy to wear and easy to layer. Individual Medley probably has the best hat selection for women hands down. If you're into that 70s floppy hat look or a Western vibe, get your topper here!


A beautiful pop-up event with florist Yasmine Mei. A future post all about it later!



Home goods, cooking supplies, delicious sea salts infused with herbs, adorable little mortar and pestles...





LOVED these tin stackable rings so much, had to nab myself a couple! (And for $10 how could you not at least get a couple?!)



Check out INDIVIDUAL MEDLEY in Atwater Village!
Promise, you'll adore it as much as we do!
