I never really know what the weather is going to be like these days. One second it's sunny and warm, the next it's cool and breezy. I layered up to walk to the Farmer's Market but ended up ditching the sweater and scarf.
Thanks for the photos Tom!

The last couple of days we've had visitors from Alabama staying with us. We've been running around town doing fun touristy things like visiting the Hans Herr House and feeding the (baby!) horses, riding the Strasburg Railroad, eating ice cream at the creamery and playing mini golf. Hmmm... maybe we should have visitors more often!
Here's your peak at what's going up in the store today. More adorable rompers. summery ethnic print dresses and 80's acid wash. Don't miss out! Thanks as always. Love ya!

When we moved to PA in January I packed all of my summer clothes into a big box. About a week ago I was doing some spring cleaning and decided it was finally time to unpack the box. I was so happy to see all of my summery vintage dresses. I lived in them in LA, but since moving to the cold northeast I haven't had much occasion to wear them. Hopefully you'll be seeing more of them now that the weather has started to warm up.
Every month I like to highlight one source of fashion inspiration. This month it's been adorable Effie from The Snail & The Cyclops. I know I'm not the first person out here in the blogosphere to sing her praises but I just couldn't help myself! After looking through her photos I always end up craving prim skirts and dresses, vintage handbags and granny style ankle boots.
When ever someone asks me to define my style I always come up blank. I think this is because what I wear is so dependent on my moods and whims of the moment. I swing from one extreme to the other, at one moment looking like a 50's housewife, another looking a bit like Patti Smith. I've never been able (or willing really) to pin down one look for myself. But Effie definitely has a look all her own. She seems to have a natural talent for putting together looks that are decidedly vintage and modern all at once. And since she's opening an Etsy store we can all benefit from her eye for vintage fashions and accessories.

Last night, after the rain finally stopped and the clouds broke, my boyfriend and I walked over to the cemetery across the street from our apartment. Everytime the moon would peek out from behind the clouds, I would start to hear "Thriller" in my head!

I always enjoy reading where other people find their vintage pieces so I'm going to try to start listing where I find each of my pieces. This dress is a result of trading in some of my old clothes that I no longer wore at Crossroads in LA. When they take all of your clothes they ask if you want cash or store credit. I could see this dress hanging on the rack and I knew it was coming home with me. I think that was the only time I took store credit. :)
The other day I was reading Fops & Dandies and ran across a post about showing what's in your jewelry box. I really liked the idea of getting a peak into someone else's jewelry box. So often they are filled with treasures collected over the years. Mine is mostly filled with thrift store finds or random things I've collected for DIY projects that I never get around to. Here's what mine holds:
