Vintage finds, AKA the only shopping I’ve done in months
Last weekend was the Chicagoland Vintage Clothing, Jewelry and Textile Show, an overwhelmingly large show about an hour away from Chicago in Elgin. Last year I had a great haul. This year I was a bit more restrained, even though this show, more than any others, often has the largest portion of things to my personal style and taste (though not always my budget, of course). Once we knew we were going to buy a house I ... Read more »

It's down the block from our ... Read more »
My perfect satchel
Hi everyone! Well I've been super excited reading everyone's comments and stories on my post about bras and the 1940s bustline. Even if it's frustrating, isn't there some solidarity in knowing every one of us, no matter our shape or size, has some of the same concerns and issues? Anyway, a few days ago I got the best package ever in the mail. Since the beginning of the summer when I got my DSLR camera, I've been ... Read more »
