rainy day blues

brooch  vintage
umbrella  vista
rain boots  piperlime

I've been a busy girl lately... buying things for the shop like a madwoman with cash flying out of my wallet at every turn, photographing everything on my cute lady friends, making plans for upcoming photo shoots, and squeezing in a few rounds of karaoke whenever possible. I have an entire clothing rack of amazing vintage pieces to sell right now and I love just staring at all the pretty colors and fabrics side by side. Of course, my weak willpower means that I inevitably keep a few goodies for myself (like the pretty 1930's dress in these photos). But don't worry, I saved plenty for you.

P.S. I've been tumbling like crazy lately, take a peek.

You look gorgeous in that dress!! Where do you find your vintage goods in the bay area? I want to try the Alameda Flea Market some time but I hear it's so massive and I'm intimidated already...any tips?

Also-- I LOVE your blush! What is it? It has the perfect balance of peach and pink :)

I think this might be my very favorite of all your vintage dresses - I love the colors and the buttons and everything about it. I am also really loving the length on your trench. So pretty!!

Ashley, you are so gorgeous in these pics! I love the bubble umbrella, the rain boots and your perfect trench coat. It's funny, but I find rainy days make the best pictures.

Yay for looking chic on a rainy day-- it can be hard to motivate myself to get dressed when it's gloomy and wet outside.

Love the little '30s dress on you and the bubble umbrella is lovely-- I need to find a replacement for my vintage one so will check out vista soon.
