Going strapless

August 6, 2018 by Tasha 21 Comments

I have long coveted true vintage 1950s strapless sun tops. Bustier tops, bra tops, the whole shebang. While I don't really have many reasons to wear them, I always think they seem like the perfect thing to really jazz up a skirt in the summer, or spring and fall with a bolero on top, or wear for a nicer evening outfit. Original ones are rare to find and typically very pricey, which explains why I own exactly zero. So I ... Read more »

Fun sunglasses for summer

June 6, 2017 by Tasha 8 Comments

It's kind of a rare occurrence that I say yes to a blog collaboration, and it's been quite some time since I did one that's not craft-related, too. But recently, GlassesUSA contacted me to see if I wanted to review a pair of their glasses. Here's the deal: I mostly wear vintage frames, with an exception for my Keiko frames from BonLook that I adore and actually wear as my primary pair much of the time now (first ... Read more »

Not forgotten: Cath Kidston inspired cardigan

January 22, 2016 by Tasha 29 Comments

A year and a half ago, I started and completed a cardigan. I never took photos, which is really unlike me with sweaters. It wasn't because I wasn't pleased with it, or didn't wear it, as I was and did (and do). I just never got around to it—until today! This is a total copycat cardigan. Case in point: Guess which one is mine... yeah okay, perhaps the Cath Kidston label and machine-knit stitch size gives it ... Read more »

A new vintage fashion staple with Emmy Design’s señorita top

July 9, 2015 by Tasha 15 Comments

Recently I had the pleasure of being contacted by Emmy Design, a small Swedish retro clothing company, to work with them on a review of something from their Spring/Summer 2015 collection. They make truly beautiful and quality items that fit in wonderfully into a vintage wardrobe, and I'm thrilled to have had the opportunity to collaborate with them! I love that Emmy Design's focus is on quality wardrobe pieces ... Read more »

An outfit for doing something and going somewhere

April 22, 2015 by Tasha 18 Comments

Hello hello! First off, thank you for all the sweet sweet birthday wishes! ♥ ♥ It was a wonderful birthday and a great weekend spent celebrating with friends. Just perfect! I have to say, the longer I go not blogging as regularly, the easier it becomes! It's been a struggle to try and get back the desire to hang around these parts, write, and catch up on all my favorite blogs lately, I have to admit. :) But today I ... Read more »

Sparkling up any ol’ winter day

March 5, 2015 by Tasha 26 Comments

As I've mentioned on occasion, I mostly work from home. This is something that developed slowly over time at my job to where, several years later, we work remotely 99% of the time. The few of us from my department that are actually located in the same city sometimes pop into the office to be reminded what each other look like, for the Christmas party, etc. So I went from thinking a lot about business-very-casual clothes ...
