Could anyone recommend any good art or design blogs? ...Emma? I'm searching.

What do you guys think, I'm not completely sold... They're not fitting as well as I thought they would (they were never worn, with tags so I figured they'd shrink down in the wash a little more), and all of the finger-numbing shredding I did basically turned into giant holes. But it still has the effect I was going for. Maybe I'll go take them for a test spin and let you know.
On another note, don't forget to check out Hello Ladies this week, lots of stuff is selling and we'll be adding more this week, hopefully! We'll let you know when that goes down. For shizzle.

I admire this girl for not only her adorable handmade girly-chic clothing and earrings, but also for the SHEER AMOUNT of work she sells a day. She must have quite the following if she managed to sell 33 ITEMS this last Saturday!!!! You Frickin Go Girl!

I've mentioned this lady before, but I am still infatuated with her lovely photographs-that-look-like-illustrations! Not to mention, she always has such a vast array of adorable items for sale... You can check out her blog here (which I've been reading for awhile, and is how I found out about her etsy).

A long-time favorite of mine, this lady always has a well-edited collection of vintage items for sale. My personal favorites are the dresses, OH THE DRESSES. And she's from the south, one of the few bloggers I know of from the south, and so its refreshing to get her angle and style updates mixed in with my usual LA and NYC-residing bloggers (I love you too!) Plus you can keep ahead of the game by reading her blog due to the fact that she updates you like clockwork, every week!

domestikate
Lastly, but CERTAINLY not leastly (can I say leastly??), this shop has me floored. A self-proclaimed "junker" who is both country, rock and roll and "definitely a little bit pirate," domestikate has the most beautiful collection of household goods and antiques (she also has a vintage clothing etsy!). And the photography is perfect. I'd like to frame some of them and hang them as still-life paintings. And I guess I have to mention that she's also been mentioned (mentioned?!? I should say lusted over!) by such prestigious blogs as Apartment Therapy, HGTV blog, Real Simple, Vintage Indie, and PoppyTalk to name a few.


That's all I can handle for now, but I'll keep you all (all? does anyone read this? maybe I should just say 'you' and keep myself in the dark. edit: I'm in a chips-and-salsa-induced-stupor right now, I apologize if I sound wierd...) updated on things if I find more that I just have to share.

The items in the post below and a few other things should be in the shop shortly, too. I'm still getting the process of ironing, photographing, uploading, editing and measuring then POSTING the pieces down to a science. That may take awhile...
Spread the word, we need customers!

On of the things I found was this awesome hippie sweater thing, and since I never buy stuff like this, I took some inspiration from Rumi at Fashion Toast (the most adventurous of the fashion bloggers I know!), and tried it out below. I decided to try it a couple of different ways in a Sally Jane Vintage four-ways-post kind of way, just to see how I liked it best. What do you think? Am I a bonafied hippie-slash-suburban-mom who thinks shes hip?
I kind of like it.


I went with the jeans for today, I thought it was a little more daytime. Stay tuned for more posts about my recent thrifting adventures!! Also, some really exciting news involving my friend Emma and our mutual love of vintage.
poncho-sweater: thrifted, Savers
tunic-dress: Urban
jeans: Old Navy Limited Edition, thrifted from Savers
gladiator sandals: Steve Madden, thrifted from Buffalo Exchange
boots: Chinese Laundry, from DSW
