Not every part of coffee’s history is pretty. Putting the slavery and wars aside, women were “supposed to” get up early in the morning to prepare coffee for their husbands, while getting A-hole responses in return. More »

Like the necklace I’m wearing? I do too. My sister’s finally found something that she’s good at other than terrorizing her siblings and washing dishes: making jewelry. She’s opened up a shop on Etsy (dreamsbythesea) featuring nautical, vintage, and storybook-themed jewelry of her design. More »

It’s the golden rule of every fashionista that you should always mix tasteful vintage with modern pieces to achieve instant chic. I, for one, tend to question the notion of ‘instant chic.’ It’s not everyday I have an instant to put together an outfit that mixes vintage and modern, and I’m not one to coordinate my closet like Cher from Clueless. Vintage or thrift shopping for me is haphazard; See it, love it, buy it. Don’t even think about what modern pieces I have in my wardrobe that’ll complement my purchases. Orla Kiely’s Fall/Winter 2009 line however, combats my problem. More »

Continuing on with our little bargain-shopping-fun, I think we should move on to accessories! Accessories are great because they can make any old outfit you have in your closet look totally different. Add a belt here, or a brooch there and viola! You’ve just spiced up an outfit you were so ready to move on from! With that in mind, lets see if we can find 10 accessories, under 10 bucks to help you look a perfect 10! (sorry, I couldn’t help it lol) More »

Believe it or not, veils are back! You probably never knew they were in the first time, but yep, they were. My grandma has a great selection of cocktail hats with and without veils from the 1940’s (my fave fashion decade). I used to borrow her hats for plays and musicals in high school. Now, I wonder if she’d let me take some back to NYC with me. Anyways, if you can’t find vintage veiled hats, never fear, Urban Outfitters has, of course, knocked them off for cheap. Check them out at Urban Outfitters. Also check out Pixie Market for some cute lil’ hats. I made veiled hair accessories for my Fall 2008 fashion show (see below). Today’s modern veils offer an edgy spin on an old fashion friend. So pick one up, put it on, and transform yourself into a sexy mysterious siren. More »
