If I could get into this vintage strapless red taffeta gown I would dab some Jungle Gardenia behind my ears, grab my mink stole and opera length black gloves and some rhinestone jewels and I would find me a by-God night club that served champagne cocktails and played Big Band music. Sadly, such is not the case. But isn’t it a lovely fantasy? #Scott’sAntiqueMarket #stuffididntbuy #vintagestyle December 12, 2015December 12, 2015 Instagram filter used: Gingham View in Instagram ⇒

Living room mantel is inspired by the gorgeous Christmas displays at the Ralph Lauren flagship store in NYC. I had some kinda Pinterest trance going yesterday. I actually broke out my sewing machine and MADE eight stockings from some moth-eaten stadium blankets and a thrift store sweater. Good thing that bobbin thread held out, cuz otherwise I would have given up! #bobbinsareevil #plaid #Christmas2015 #veryvintagechristmas #pinterestforthewin December 7, 2015December 7, 2015 Instagram filter used: Ludwig View in Instagram ⇒
