Things that give me joy, one discovery at a time.

A vintage photoshoot

I spent my Sunday in the company of two very lovely and talented Anna’s, Anna Routh and Anna Beth Bonney. They graciously volunteered their day to collaborate on a photo shoot featuring some vintage dresses I have been collecting. Together we styled the shoots and traveled The Fort today creating beautiful images. Anna Beth made the most stunning model and I know the images Anna captured will be truly amazing. Thanks so much ladies! Here are just a few “behind the scences” iPhone images I snapped. Cannot wait to share the end result!

We borrowed the most comical pug, Dream, for one of our looks.

Prepping before my favorite look.

Much more to come!

Alexander McQueen

I have long been a fan of Alexander McQueen. In fact, for quite a while I dreamed of wearing one of his dresses on my wedding day, seen here when I blogged about his amazing fashion awhile back. What a loss. RIP.

Perfect for the Holidays

OPI An Affair in Red Square

I recently painted my nails with OPI’s An Affair in Red Square and I have to admit, every time I took a peak at my fingers I think, “now that’s a pretty color!” It’s perfect for the holidays. I’m just itching to show the color off at my first Christmas fling of the season!

I Dream of Alexander McQueen

Ages ago I saw these first two dresses on a website and they’ve stuck with me since. Aren’t they fabulous. I just think they’re wonderful, whimsical, out-of-the-box dresses for a bride that would want something different.

If I Liked to Dress Up on Halloween

I’d be one of these. Oh, also if I was a cute wisp of a thing as well. But, alas, neither fall under my category so I’ll just post for you to enjoy!

I Can’t Get Enough of…

Mad Men!

I’m utterly hooked. No, not because of the advertising element, but because of the fashion, set design, and era! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I should have been born 40 years before I was!

Travis and I have been marathon-ing through Season 1 and 2 so we can catch up to Season 3. We discuss Don and Betty like they’re actually our friends and feel for Chauncy the dog when Duck releases him. We’re pathetic. If you haven’t started watching, you should. Here’s why:
