What We Wore To The Happenings: Photo Mixing

 I had a unique opportunity this past weekend, to add the visual elements to my father's music at his concert. This was a new endeavor for all of us, the band was ambient world music, and I mixed (with a DJ set up mixing board!) photos to create backgrounds and visuals to the music. I was so nervous, having never really shown my photos to an audience before, but in the end, it turned out to be really fun. I wore, gray booties from a consignment shop, gray pencil skirt from Zara, blue tights from a shop in Spain, and a Red coat from the Mighty Swell pop up, courtesy of Two Birds!

What We Wore: Mystery Madness

I went out to see a local favorite of mine, Mystery Palace at the newly re-vamped Varsity Theatre. It was a good time with great friends. A little taxi debacle, a Seekins sighting and lots of laughter. I wore my favorite vintage silky sleeveless floral dress, vintage brown woven boots with cream knit socks and grey-brown tights topped off with an Urban Outfitters cream sweater and a vintage cream coat!

The Happenings: A Note in the Pocket

I was at an estate sale last weekend, and found some great vintage goods. As I was checking out, the granddaughter of the woman whose things were being sold said, "Did you check the pockets? Grandma was always putting things in her pockets, little notes and things." It was busy, so I didn't do it right then, but as I was organizing things for the Mighty Swell sale, I checked the pockets. Inside of this lovely sweater coat was a detailed handwritten list, on a page of a tear-off desk calendar, all of the times she had worn this coat and when/where she purchased it: the date, where she was, what she did, who she was with, etc. I for one am a big list maker, constantly trying to organize my life, my belongings, my to-dos, but I have never thought of doing this. What a grand idea to remember the simple details of life through clothing!

A Very Vintage Day

Hanging out in my quilted housecoat. Snuggly and warm, this piece is quite special to me. Every Christmas our tradition is to get new pajama's and two years ago, our house burnt down right before Christmas with our pajama's and all. This was the first vintage piece I got after all my vintage clothing went up in flames. My mom and dad thrifted it from Savers and gave it to me as my Christmas pajamas. It reminds me of the warmth of my family.

Lunching with my lady at Turtle Bread, amazing tomato basil soup!
Then off to the Cottage House, once monthly vintage furniture sale! It is this really amazing old house that has been turned into a shop, and each room re-done every month to fit a theme. I am crazy about French Country or Paris Apartment.  I am so in love with this place, some great pieces for not too expensive.

Electric Fetus, hunting for that just right album to fit my weekend mood. Thought about Sharon Jones and The Dap Kings, Band of Horses and Cee Lo. Ended up with nothing because I couldn't decide what mood I was in.


 Then out for my sister's sister's birthday! Roller Garden!

















Rollerskating with the dinosaurs. . . if by dinosaur you mean 58 year old who was king of the skate hustle back in the day. . . that would be about right.

It all ended with snowflakes on my eyelashes, perfect ending to a great day!
