Sponsor Giveaway- Beta Boutique

My wonderful sponsor, Beta of Beta Boutique, is giving one of my lovely readers the chance to win a $25 Gift Certificate to her beautiful shop!




Here's what Beta has to say about her shop... Beta Boutique is a collaboration between me and my mom, as we've always shared a passion for things vintage, aristocratic, feminine, sophisticated and things with history and their own stories. The beauty of vintage for us is the ability to materialize daydreaming about living in past decades, the connection with history and the possibility to escape from the made-in-china reality. And of course the quality, femininity, originality and individuality of vintage pieces.



Beta Boutique is filled with vintage items which represent our aesthetic considerations, love for femininity, Art-House cinema, modern literature and popular culture cliches.



To Enter: Simply complete these two steps 1) Visit Beta Boutique and tell me which item you would buy with the gift certificate and 2) Follow Beta Boutique on Twitter.

The giveaway is open to everyone, including international readers and ends April 8th at 10pm est. The winner will be announced April 9th! If you don't have a blog please leave me your email.

Good Luck!

Been meaning to post these since they are well overdue. Over winter break a bunch of us drove up to San Rafael to hang out at Megan's casa. During intermission, we trekked to a neighboring hippie town and ended up at some cool places (like the coffee shop in the photos).

Shadow Love

The weather was oh so nice that I couldn't resist throwing on my romper and going for a walk in the park with my love. Later this week it's supposed to get as high as 80 degrees. Oh, how I love spring!











Photo Credits: Cole. Thanks, darling!

Rooftop Get-Together romper: ModCloth
Black hat and tights: Target
Navy platforms: Seychelles
Gold locket: J.Crew
Vintage watch: from my childhood
I have to confess that rompers aren't the most figure flattering things on me, but they're so fun that I really don't care.

Do you wear things that you love even if they're not the most flattering?

A big congratulations to Annie, of Time Enough for Drums, for winning the BrideBlu gift certificate giveaway! Thank you to everyone that entered and to Cat for being such a wonderful sponsor!

Happy Wednesday!

Antique Places

Spent the weekend and most of Monday up in Sonoma at my friend Maxx's property. Ate way too often, swam in freezing waters, hot tubed again and again, and had a wonderful start to spring break. These photos are from Monday when we went to the local downtown antique shops. Hilarious stuff.

fendi SS 10

Pencil & Watercolour


This one was a special request which just so happened to
conveniently tie into a bunch of reference images I had in a folder
with every intention of illustrating in the near future.
So two birds, one stone! Hooray!


I absolutely ADORED the Fendi S/S 10 show.
A little bit late in the game given we've just seen all of the A/W 10/11
collections at the various fashion weeks over the globe;
but this show definitely stayed in the back of my mind.
It reminds me alot of Nina Ricci S/S 08.
Very feminine, soft and romantic.
I also have a soft spot for feathers, which alot of you would already know!

I hope you've all had a great week.
So sorry for not updating my blog much recently.
I have lots going on - moving house, holidays, work etc etc.
But I promise i'll be back on the ball from now on.

What's New

I have a thing for rompers and more specifically, rompers that are 40's inspired. This one from ModCloth is a dream and will look quite lovely with my navy Seychelles platforms!




Even though I'm on the hunt for black sandals, these MIA Newport wedges were screaming my name and I couldn't resist their siren call. Luckily, I bought the last pair in my size at Endless.



I have one more exciting item arriving this week. Let's hope it works out as well as these two!

XOXO
