Vintage Goods

I picked up this twirly orange skirt from The Loved One pop-up shop -- it's so feminine and has elastic on the back of the waistband making it super comfy! And I also scored a little cream blouse, complete with a bow. Score for sure :)

The Loved One + Seychelles Footwear + Smilebooth

Last night, the Hub and I brought the Smilebooth out to a vintage pop-up shop by The Loved One, hosted in the Seychelles Footwear showroom in NYC. It was such a great time..good food, good clothing, good shoes, stylish people, and smilebooth of course! Here are a few photos from the event...my vintage purchases will be coming in a post shortly :)

Gold Metal Purse

I just might have a bit more pep in my step if I were carrying around this vintage gold metal chain purse. 

Vintage Magazine Covers

I can't get over these vintage magazine covers -- it's so nice to see a cover not cluttered with text. Each image has something to say and only a small caption to accompany it. It's definitely interesting how the older covers are like pieces of art, something you might frame and put on your wall, while what we see today is the complete opposite.

Vintage Desk

This looks like the perfect sewing table -- sturdy enough so that nothing rattles, yet still awesome.

Happy Weekend!

I've survived my first week at Parsons and would say I'm only slightly overwhelmed, did I mention I'm taking 9 classes. I'm sure I'll be fine, I've attended design school twice, so third times a charm, right? :) So while the temps drop this weekend in NY, I'll be tucked away at my desk improving my sketching skills, building mood boards, and simply trying to keep warm.

I will, however, escape to a fun photo shoot with the girls of Poppies and Posies and chat it up with a few potential clients. All in all, I'm going to stay pleasantly busy. What about you? Many plans for the last weekend in January?

Antique Mirror

So I tweeted last week that I was on the hunt for a full-length mirror -- I got several recommendations and was nearly persuaded to go for the ikea hovet when I stumbled across this beauty. There is an amazing antique shop right near our apartment and as we were browsing last week I ran across this barn-wood mirror that was perfect. It was a splurge but definitely worth it!
