    Help my friend pick a name for her shop

    She just opened her own tattoo shop and is looking for a good name. But alas, so many of them are already taken. She originally named it Grace Tattoo, but there was a "State of Grace" Tattoo Shop about 50 miles away that complained. She's looking for something sorta in the americana range...

    NY Times Article about vintage clothing

    It's true--I think everyone thinks a little about the past owner of anything vintage that they own. It sort of adds to the charm.

    anthropologie!

    Yes, the sales racks can be very helpful. I just wish they had bigger sizes in all of their items instead of just a few. But they also have some great wide-legged pants to boot! Speaking of the elusive wide legged pants--I found a nice wide legged jean at Fourth and Towne--get them...

    Valentine's Day Plans

    Valentine's Day is such a sticky wicket! I use it as an excuse to make an extra fancy dinner for my sweetie. And wear something extra saucy to serve it. But I did have all of these ideas of what I wanted to do. I was going to have my sweetie pick me up at work and then we would go to this...

    New Remix Playshoes - A Critique

    I just received my pair of Pathways too. They are so button cute I can't stand them! They are a bit stiff to begin with, but I'm sure with more wearing, they'll be fine. I bet they will feel much more comfy with a pair of little white bobby sock with the cuff turned down. How cute and...

    Nutrition and exercise!

    Ha! I think it's very normal! I must say that since the wedding and the holidays, I've needed to get back into the gym but haven't found the zest for it. But now I'm ready to head out to the gym--it just needs to happen! Hooray!

    Once again Lady Day, you amaze me with your savvy sewing skills. I am so impressed that you did this just off of the photo! Well done!

    They are darling! I wish I could have fit into them!

    Show us your hair do's....

    I must say, I love your hair! I did from the first time I saw your picture. How long is your hair? How do you have it cut? What do you do to get that? My hair is rather long and I just can't deal with it and toss it into pony tails on most days. But I'd be willing to cut it in a heartbeat for...

    Packing a Suitcase - Video

    Seriously, someone could make a fortune recreating those plastic dividers! And I liked the idea of packing a shower cap. I just bought a new one after years of going without and I love it! Benefit sells the sweetest ones! I don't know how I lived without it!

    That alone might get me to go this year. Yeah, the Knot is a rather crazy thing. I started out doing it for my friend who is a wedding planner and she wanted me to break into the Knot because that demographic is so powerful for vendors and then you end up making friends with the ladies and...

    New Remix Playshoes - A Critique

    So, I just ordered a pair of the Pathways and spent a good deal of time on the phone with Cliff I believe sussing out what size I am. I usually order a size 10 in Remix shoes and had to go down to a size 9 in the Pathway shoe. I stood on my ruler to get the actual length of my foot--10...

    Anyone a member of the Art Deco Society of California?

    I am not in it, but my sweetie and I are about to join. We have a few friends that are in it and they do a lot of fun stuff.

    You guys are very very kind! I just found out that some photos from my wedding may be picked up by Martha Stewart's wedding magazine on a piece she's doing on vintage inspired weddings. And TexasGirl, I'm sure your wedding is going to be stunning. Can't wait to see pictures of it afterwards...

    Vintage Weddings

    I second Jitterbug's Port Halycon articles. They are really good! I just got married in November and tried to go for a vintage themed wedding as well. You can see my bio under MissDottie on the Knot. As far as invitations go--you may not find the quantity you need online, but working with...

    Some questions about vintage clothing for everyone.

    Well, I like to think that the majority of clothes I own are somewhat vintage or inspired. From the 30s to the 50s--it just looks better on me and it's what I'm naturally attracted to. Although a lot of times it's just a mishmash. If not that--it's more of an athletic look. Those bloomers from...
