Dolce and Gabbana never fails in our books. D&G is always romantic, vintage inspired, and utterly glamorous. These are the kind of clothes we would live in if we were a modern day princess and had the matching bank account. The Dolce and Gabbana Spring 2014 runway collection just tugged at my floral loving heart. I also loved the Greek nuances and the romantic Pre-Raphaelite inspired hair. Absolutely dreamy!

Almost 3 years ago I signed up for this cool little app called Instagram posting pictures of my life's little happenings (cheese and wine afternoons with friends, farmers' market on Sundays...) and then it lead into little behind the scene peeks of what it was and is like to be a online vintage shopkeeper.

Throughout these few years it has been a wonderful joy (and sometimes bittersweet) to look back at these old photos and see where Adored Vintage and myself have come. While Instagram is the place where I share beauty and loveliness to inspire those that follow Adored Vintage on Instagram, it isn't lost to me all the not so lovely real life moments not shared and captured.

These photos from our Instagram are amongst our top liked photos ever. In a couple years time AV went from a few hundred followers to over 25,000 and I am humbled, overjoyed, and to be quite honest a little shock. Thank you for being inspiring and hopefully inspired!

We have had a busy few weeks here at Adored Vintage and have a large vintage clothing shop update to bring to you guys today. Spring has officially sprung here is southern California and boy does it reflect in our new pieces. We have been loving purples and greens and lots of vintage florals. They work so well with our grey and cream basics, and give a little extra life to any look. Take a look down below at our most recent updates and makes sure to always check out the shop as we add new pieces a couple times a week. 


 














        





Whether you like her music or not, I think we all can agree that Taylor Swift has some amazing vintage inspired style. Now we might be a little biased because she often wears vintage and even when she isn't, she opts for vintage silhouettes. We think she is super cute and love watching he style evolve. Down below we have put together some of our favorite Taylor Swift inspired looks and even added some pieces from the vintage shop that are pretty darn close to things she has worn in the past. Who is your vintage style muse of the moment? Make sure to let us know down in the comments.

 You know those times where you are standing in your closet, in front of dozens of options and you just simply hate everything? Well so do we and nine times out of ten we reach for a full skirt because no matter what they usually kick us out of a fashion rut. There is a reason this shape has been continually produced for decades. There is just something so feminine about a full circle skirt! We have put together some of our favorite vintage and modern looks that feature full circle skirts below to show you how easy they are to work into your everyday wardrobe. If you are as in love with them as we are, take a look at the options we have listed from our vintage shop down at the bottom. 

Our take on how to wear a full vintage skirt! We paired this vintage 1950s circle skirt with our vintage inspired cropped striped Bardot Bardot top for a perfect Spring look!
