Boooo on the big feet.

Again and again, I come across adorable vintage shoes and equally often I find them made for a size foot that cannot possibly exist other than to make my Norwegian bones feel even more...well, Nordic (read: BIG). 

Vintage Oxfords

 

Vintage all-weather riding boots

Both in "that-pisses-me-off" sizes.

Fashion Friday: Gimme Green

How I love this dress...so classic, so versatile, so layer-able.
So SOLD. :(

But more greatness here at 13 Bees Vintage, found via A Cup of Jo.

Fashion Friday: Etsy Seller - Thrush

I am forever checking out vintage wares on Etsy, and this last week I came across a lovely vintage seller, Thrush, and spent quite a bit of time pursuing the goods. Not only does she have fabulous finds, but she takes the time to name each item after some cinematic or historical icon. So delightful! Here are some of my favorites:

The Twiggy Dress

The Alexis Smith Dress

The Nancy Sinatra Dress

The Vivian Leigh Dress

The Anne Margaret Dress

Happy Friday! May fabulous, unique, recycled, and affordable fashion find its way into your worthy hands...

Tootles,

Things that make me smile Wednesday

Bon Matin, friend. You are off gallivanting in Oregon, painting under trees and living your calling as a dryad. I am here with your kitty boys and we are smiling at these things:

This print made me smile, but mainly because of the quote on the bottom! "One should either be a work of art, or wear a work of art." Oscar Wilde

A mantra to live by indeed!

Lolita is a new blog I found a few weeks ago,and of course I would love it because of the name. However, I love it more because everyday she inspires me with some sort of amazing photograph. This bubble bath photo makes me smile.

These perfectly vintage Victorian pumps make me smile.

It seems that every week I am posting about something I found at DesiretoInspire and today is no exception. It's really just such wonderful eye-candy, that blog.

This couch makes me smile. It encompasses my style so well...I want it.

Loves on this cloudy, perfect Wednesday.

I have been looking all over for a vintage classroom clock in yellow for my kitchen. Turns out it's in LONDON.

Things that make me smile Wednesday

Bonjour! Bon mercredi. Today's post is all about the adorable eccentricities we collect that make us who we are; the quirky definition of personal style.

Don't you just love this creative vintage suitcase table?

How I smile at the thought of writing with these adorable quote pencils. One of the quotes I especially love, "be silly, be honest, be kind" - emerson

tell me you aren't grinning with silliness at this wee vintage alarm clock. how much do i love owls again?

i don't know which makes me smile more, the mug or the inscription which says, "drink, sleep, read." either way, i might just die if i don't buy this.

though the throw is the item for sale, i cannot stop smiling at the vision of this chair in my home. it would be a grand pairing with the mug, don't you think?


oh this one is quite exciting to me!!! this book counter was found by she and sent to me posthaste! what an idea, no?!!! SUCH SMILES.

with a demure and elegant grin, i find great beauty and romance in this photograph...also sleuthed and sent to me thanks to kjk.

Enjoy your smiles, cheeky!

things that make me smile wednesday

it's here again.

hap, hap, happy wednesday.

i hope that my note of sarcasm is detected, for this morning (which is really afternoon) i feel like crawling onto the sofa with my comforter, hot tea, and movies. i woke up feeling very sick and cranky after a long night of computer frustrations and cake baking.

so today's list, the wednesday smiles, it's all about comfort.

heidi merric: 09 spring collection

(i may have already mentioned this designer, but i LOVE it so...)

nothing can bring a warm smile like an inviting, stylish kitchen.
