Raglan Army

Don't you love it when you just feel like YOU in a certain outfit? That is certainly the case with this one for me and this jacket is what my dreams are made of.  I have outfit photos saved on my computer of outfits that I wore and took photos of that just didn't really feel "me".  Those get saved for days I have nothing else to post, while outfits that make me happy I get excited by and post immediately! 



Outfit Details
Army Jacket - c/o Oasap
Hat - Target (similar)
Boots - DSW
Purse - Vintage
Blouse - c/o August Wrinkle

So yeah, back to this jacket.  It arrived in the mail last week and it was still too warm to wear it so I hung it on our bedroom wall so I could stare dreamily at it until a cooler day rolled in.  It is super lightweight, has the perfect slightly oversized fit, and is basically just a really unique take on the classic army jacket.  The cream colored raglan sleeves have beautiful embroidery on them, and I wish I had gotten a better close-up to show you but you can look at it on the Oasap site too.  Anyway, I have sometimes been disappointed with products from this site in the past but this one for me was a gem, so if you're looking for a fun transitional piece I would highly recommend it!

Also, I just wanted to say thank you for the kind words and support in my last most about the opening of my mens vintage shop The Bearded Bandit!  Hope you're all having a great week so far!

The Bearded Bandit Vintage LAUNCH!

It is with great excitement that I would like to announce the launch of my new men's vintage shop, The Bearded Bandit!  

This is something I have been working on for months, and its so fun to see the shop up and running (it went live last night!)  R helped me re-design both shop's logos and branding materials too (like on our mugs), but I will probably save that for a whole other post.

Anyway, here are a few things that are currently in the shop:


I know most of my readers of gals, but it would be amazing if you shared the shop with any guys in your life who you think may like it!  It will always be stocked with plaid, flannel, and fun novelty prints.  And if you want to order something for your honey, you can use the code LAUNCH20 at checkout for 20% off your purchase!  So head on over to the shop and let me know what you think! And a huge thanks  to my readers for always being so nice and supportive in whatever I'm doing!
Cheers!

Alpine Frida

The last of the photos from my mini vacation to the mountains this weekend.  Feeling a bit like Frida Kahlo in my beautiful pink embroidered dress while we explored an Alpine Garden in Vail.  Too bad I didn't have a pile of flowers on my head.
Outfit Details:
Dress - thrifted (similar here!)
Shoes - H&M
Leggings - Marshalls
Hat - Eddia Bauer
Necklace - Charming Charlie

While the leggings and sneaks wouldn't typically be how I would like to style this dress, I knew we would be doing a lot of walking around and sometimes ya just have to balance form and function! When I spotted this dress while thrifting a few weekends ago my heart may or may not have stopped beating for a hot second there I was so excited.  It reminds me SO much of the beautiful embroidered dresses mi amiga Dusana sells in her Mexican Fair Trade shop Mitla Moda. I still hope to one day get my hands on one of her classic cream colored ones as well!

Anyway, lots to get done so I can go have fun at a local brewery tonight while R's sister is in town!  And stay tuned for the exciting announcement I have been alluding to on Monday too!

Have a great weekend!

Quandary Peak

I'm back! Not having my laptop charger with me turned out to be a blessing in disguise because though I didn't get lots of work done, I was able to enjoy the mini vacation more because of it.  Luckily one thing I did not forget was my camera charger, so as usual I took on the role of paparazzi on our hikes and explorations through the different mountain towns.


Outfit Details
Vtg GAP Overalls - in the shop!
Vtg Tribal Blouse - in the shop!
Hat - Eddie Bauer
Booties - DSW

The fall-like weather up there was actually really nice, and now its in the 90s back at home today so I can still enjoy the last bit of summer weather too.   For my cozy mountain attire, I borrowed a few things from the shop like these vintage GAP overalls and this tribal flannel.  Now I'm wishing I had brought a few more items from the shop to style because the beautiful mountain backdrop would've made such a nice setting for a little fall lookbook for the shop!

Anyway, back to reality now!  Bags to unpack, orders to ship, and vintage to list! But first, coffee.

Take It Easy

Hi guys,
   I've got to keep this short but just wanted to stop in and say hello.  I am on a little mini vacation renting a cabin/ house up in the mountains with R's family right now and unfortunately just realized I forgot my computer charger.  The extra unfortunate part is that this Monday was supposed to be a big and exciting new business announcement for me, but I am pushing it back a week because my computer battery has only about thirty minutes left before it dies and I won't be able to get everything done in time!  Oh well, now I will just be "forced" to sit back and relax.  So on that note, here are a few snaps from a little hike we did in Breckenridge today!

(The gang minus R's mom!)

My apologies in advance for my upcoming unplanned absence!  I will still be posting on instagram if you'd like to follow along there.  I'm going to go try enjoy myself and not feel so panicky about not having my computer for the next four days!  I think a beer and a soak in the hot tub may help ;)
xoxo!

Minty Fresh

Hi guys!  So my computer decided to break earlier this week so I've got to keep this quick as I am borrowing R's laptop and have to go pick mine up from the Mac doctor!


Outfit Details
Dress- Shabby Apple
Meowmaid Pin - Albinohare
Shoes - Keds
Scarf - Vintage

This is probably the most "real-time" outfit post that I've ever done, as I just snapped these photos of what I'm wearing about a half an hour ago!  I'm going to be so sad when these flowers stop blooming on our porch and everything turns to dull brown.  But I have to say, bringing blankets and hot chocolate out to our porch swing when its cold does sound kind of nice!
I've also got a super exciting announcement for next Monday I can't wait to share! And no, I'm not preggers or engaged ;)

xoxo!

Lavender Locks

Hi guys!  I worked basically all weekend so while its Monday, I kind of don't mind because its not as traumatic as a Monday coming off a super fun weekend.  Plus, I had THE BEST thrifting/ buying trip for the shop this Saturday, so that part hardly seemed like work at all!  Let's just say I went to a new thrift store a bit further away and they had just put out their Halloween merchandise, which is the best time of year to find super unique and old finds. Wahoo!

Anyway, here I am testing out my new lavender locks from Wigsbuy!  Fun colorful hair without the commitment or upkeep (or hatred from R).
Outfit Details:
Vintage Floral Dress - for sale in the shop
Booties - thrifted
Purple Wig - c/o Wigsbuy

This wig was actually about six inches longer when it arrived in the mail, so I gave it a nice little trim to make it look a little less costume-y on me.   I absolutely love it, but these wigs definitely need a bit of styling in my opinion before they are ready to wear, so I twisted the sides back, brushed it out, and was ready to go! 

As much as I have loved my two pastel wigs, I think I would want my next wig from Wigsbuy to be a more natural looking one.  I have SO much fun putting on my wigs, but still do not have the courage to really go out in public wearing the ones I have.  A wig that could change up my look a bit but still look like it could occur naturally on me would be so much fun too!  Below are my top more natural looking picks from Wigsbuy.

  
 



While I have never tried any of these personally, I think its pretty cool that they make wigs based off of celebrity inspiration pictures, and I would definitely be interested to see how close it comes to the actual picture!

Anyway, I have so much to get done this week before I am off on yet another little holiday up to the mountains with R's fam next weekend!
xoxo!
