Life Lately......

Is it just me or does it seem like October flew by faster than the blink of an eye? I've been a bit absent lately since I spent a good majority of October in Denver visiting my Great Aunt.  My favorite part about visiting her is that her love of nostalgia is just as strong as mine. She's lived her her home since 1958 and it was originally built in the 1930's as housing for troops stationed there.

How STUNNING are the Mint Green stucco walls?! I spent many hours sitting on her porch wishing I never had to leave. While in Denver, I was able to delve into my Great Aunt's old Polaroid's and found some gems :)

This is my Great Aunt in the 1970's fully decked out! She still has that SAME amazing sense of style!

Now, I couldn't go to Denver and not shop for Vintage goodies! I found this KILLER faux Leopard Fur hat at a local antique shop that PERFECTLY matched a Faux Leopard Fur wrap I was gifted a while ago:

After an almost 13 hour drive from Fargo to Denver, I would say that my October there was one very well spent.... even though my bank account wouldn't agree ;)

Savor the Different...

One goal I had when starting my business was to make it very clear that I only showcase things that inspire something in others. Whether it be a mask, glove, bustier, I want a customer or client to feel SOMETHING when seeing a piece I have for rent or sale. If you love an item, hate it, so be it, just don’t be indifferent. One thing I've learned is that to be indifferent to fashion is one of the saddest ways to live. Like Bill Cunningham stated above, "Fashion is the armor to survive the reality of everyday life". The clothes I wear, the eyeliner I carefully draw on, the way I style my hair, all of it is to prepare myself for what lies ahead. This may sound shallow or vain, but I do see it as a shield. If fashion armor for you means an audacious Red Maribou Feather coat or your favorite concert hoodie, then by ALL MEANS wear it with intent! Cover yourself in pieces that invoke a REACTION! Disgust, elation, intrigue, and more! I absolutely LIVE for those wh...

The One Phrase That Makes Me Cringe & How We Can Change It...

"I love vintage clothing, but I don't know when I'd wear it" Whenever someone makes that comment to me, my heart breaks a little.  The answer is that you can ALWAYS find a time & place to wear vintage!  The key is to have CONFIDENCE when you wear something outside of your comfort zone! Even if you're not confident, FAKE IT! Pretend you're playing a role until that confidence becomes the truth! I grew up wearing things, not necessarily vintage, that always caused people to talk, sneer or poke fun at me.  That's was people do when they don't understand you or, let's face it, life in general. Well guess what? That's NOT your problem! If they don't like it, great! They don't have to wear it! That leaves more amazing clothing for you! Photo by Kelsey Jenson Photography One of my favorite things about wearing vintage is that I can incorporate those pieces into my newer outfits! Whenever I buy clothing, new or old, I always as...
