What We Wore: Biking!

I have been dying to wear these shorts that I got at the Mighty Swell Summer Sale, so cute, summery and bright! I adore them, so I just decided to take them for a test run (and a for a few silly pictures), just biking to meet a friend for coffee and a chat.  I wore my new nutcase forest green helmet, yellow vintage shorts and my sheer gray, yellow and turquoise top from a boutique in Spain.
Happy Riding!

Vintage Bicycles

Spring has sprung, and the wheels of my bike are itching to hit the pavement. I have had a plethora of vintage bikes in my day, all thrifted or dusted off from the dark corners of my grandparents garage; All but my most current, stolen or misplaced (thank you Madison). I love a traditional vintage cruiser, they are so stylish, comfortable and lady-like. The down side is that they are really heavy and require a lot of up keep. So I have been looking for a lighter model than my current. So far I think this means going with a new one, but as bike season is upon us, I thought we could take a look back at some of my old favorites.

Negligence on my part, this bike was left on my porch, unlocked.

lost to the elements and the incredible amount of work it needed

The metal bar I had attached this to was unscrewed from the ground.

This one was locked to a wooden railing, which was sawed through.

My current cruiser, still in my possession.
