she wore blue chiffon

dress vintage
I am a complete and total sucker for anything chiffon and pleated. This floaty blue number is another find from my new favorite place in the world, Adamstown (a.k.a. Antiques Capitol of the USA!) and cost me only twenty bones. I wore it on New Years Eve with a giant fancy necklace and glittery shoes, and now I'm all about dancing around my apartment in it with nothing but flowers in my hair and bare feet. You can take the girl out of San Francisco...

ellegirl japan
I was beyond thrilled when I was approached last month about having my apartment featured in ELLEgirl Japan, especially because Japan has always been at the very top of my list of places I'm dying to visit. It's fun sharing my new apartment because it still feels like the perfect blank canvas, a space that is completely my own and a large part of my new life in Philadelphia. I'm still tweaking things here and there but it's already becoming a cozy home in my eyes. Perhaps once I acquire a few more pieces for my Gene Wilder shrine I will feel really solid. As for what the article above actually says, I can't even begin to remember, but I can guarantee it's super dorky. And I'm actually 28 (the article says 27), but I may have been enjoying a glass or two of red wine while responding to questions, so...

minor themes
My grandmother's class ring circa 1943, a prized possession. She also gave me the amazing pink glass hand (the blue one is from Bohemian Bisoux Vintage).
A 1950's beaded top from Bohemian Bisoux Vintage and a few of my sillier books.
Flowers leftover from a photo shoot: green eyed roses & hydrangeas, two favorites.
An amazing old painting from an antique mall in Adamstown, my favorite find as of late.
Newest additions to the always growing vintage brooch collection.

I found this pretty blue dress hiding in the corner of an antique mall, sandwiched between polyester maxi dresses and oversized hawaiian shirts. I bought it without bothering to try it on because I knew at a glance it would fit perfectly, a skill honed from many years of flea market and thrift store scavenging (and sneakily trying things on both over and under my clothes). I've been making a point of going on an adventure outside of Philadelphia every other weekend, which usually involves a lot of antique stores, greasy burgers at even greasier diners, and people watching, a much-needed escape after an incredibly busy week. I keep bringing my camera with me but forgetting to take a single photo aside from a few Instagram snaps. I promise I'll be better next time, if I can stop oohing and ahhing long enough to press the damn shutter!
