i LOVE this collection by Sarah Seven! look at these beautiful, feminine, vintage-but-modern party dresses/work skirts/tops. aren’t they so pretty? i’ve seen a couple of these dresses while browsing around and finally looked through the full collection and i’m loving all the designs by this portland, oregon designer! and, an added bonus – 5% of all sales through the site are donated to 2 charities for 2 very important causes – compassion and international justice mission.
or at least it finally was up here in new england this weekend! hopefully it’s been nice where you are too. for some reason, every year i end up purchasing a new bathing suit – even though i’m not a big swimmer, just a tanner. and that’s limited to the weekends, as long as the weather is cooperating. so i don’t really need 5 bathing suits, but i always end up finding a new style i like!
right now i’m loving these vintage-inspired bathing suit styles that come in a variety of colors and shapes in one-pieces and bikinis. cute, huh?
i do. i love how rachel bilson layers her clothes, mixes new with vintage, and uses the same article of clothing in multiple outfits. so here are a couple of her recent everyday outfits that i like and some ways for you to get the same style wearing clothes from independent designers.
so i wouldn’t be able to pull off the fedora like she does, but i think it looks cute with this casual outfit (i’m sure she was also trying to hide from the photographers). and the chanel scarf – who doesn’t like an oversized scarf to finish off an outfit?

i love this jimmy choo bag she’s been carrying around everywhere, but that’s a little (well, a lot) over my budget. and while looking through pictures, i noticed she wore this blazer as a part of multiple outfits – sometimes with jeans and sometimes with a skirt. it’s so key to have items in your closet that you love and can wear as a part of different outfits.

this dress is precious, isn’t it? the vintage lace, petal straps, detailed bodice, fit, ivory color are adorable. this is the perfect dress to wear to a summer get-together (engagement party, wedding rehersal – i’m not a fan of wearing white to the wedding). this dress by Una is made to order, like all of the pieces in this line, which means the dress can be tweaked to your liking.
yesterday was my birthday – yay! and it was the first year that i went back a year in age instead of forward, so i’m still in my mid-20s! i came across some amazing, electic jewerly by Poison Apple the other day and fell in love with one of the necklaces. like a lot of the jewelry from this line, the necklace has a collection of vintage items hanging from it like a gold key and mother of pearl horn – pretty. i’m thinking of buying it for myself as a birthday present to me – what do you think?
