STYLE INSPO - Gidget

Carefree, colorful and adventurous- Sally Field in the 1960's TV show Gidget has made most of us, if not all, dream of being a 60's surfer chick. Lets take a look and see what Gidget always keeps in her closet!

Vintage Must-Have: Breton Stripes

by the sea...

Warm weather is here and what better way to enjoy that than running around in a striped top and capris? Often taken for granted, let's look closer at the Breton Striped shirt and where it came from.

JUNE'S Go To Items

Welcome to the first post of the "Go To" series!

Every month it seems that there are items we gravitate toward- like the shoes you throw on with every outfit and the lipstick that's constantly in your bag. Last month these four things were my go to items!

Nifty Finds of 2012

Hello everyone! 

 2012 seemed to come and go so fast! Looking back at our finds from vintage hunting, we've gathered up a few to share with you.


 

I was so excited when we found this Samsonite suitcase. The outside is in excellent condition and definitely still usable. The blanket has come in handy so many times! It is a great picnic blanket, throw, and  perfect to use in the car. At only $1, we are now going to keep our eyes open to things we usually don't gravitate towards...
