a few of my favorite...spaces, lonny 2013

With the hustle and bustle of the holidays and another year coming to a close, my mind tends to shut down on the present and starts to focus on the future.  In order to get ready for the new year, I take with me the good while putting the bad and ugly to bed.  I will take with me into 2014 the things that mattered; lessons learned (personal and professional), dreams to work on, making my life "the good life", and Frank Sinatra in my ear telling me "The Best is yet to Come".

 

I have also been inspired in 2013, by people, places and things...

retro romance: brigitte bardot inspired new year sequins n boots

For the second installation of Retro Romance, inspired by a super sexy sequined number.  I found a few shifts and a lot of body cons, but not one cap sleeve.  I decided to go with a long sleeve shift, a definite 70's cut.  With all the flash of the dress a clutch is all that is needed for an accessory.

retro romance: brigitte bardot, boots n jeans

The first installation for the Retro Romance series, features my all time favorite fashion icon Brigitte Bardot.  A classic look of boots and jeans that can be seen everywhere, everyday...40+ years later.  Proving that if it ain't broke, don't fix it!

I updated the look with "skinnies" and added a jacket since we are in the throws of winter.  The T is simple, classic and sexy.

working on: retro romance

I decided this year I wanted a new handbag for my birthday.  I love the look of the "it" satchel that all the fashionistas I follow on Instagram carry, but let's face it, I live in Denver, so not the capital of "street style".  My outfit of the day is not going to be snapped and posted on The Sartorialist, I dress for myself. So after checking out a few places online, the bags I found just weren't, well, me.  Now don't get me wrong, if I could afford a Kelly bag, or any other "classic" satchel, I would be all over it like Chanel No. 5 on Marylin, but I can't.  In truth, I am not too terribly "trendy" anyway.  I will throw on a trend piece now and then, but the funny thing is, some pieces that are now considered "trendy" are actual classics.  Hello leopard print?

 

So I decided to jump on Etsy...and three hours later, I will soon be the proud Ma Ma to this fabulous 1960's gem!  After looking at all the vintage goodness to be found it got me thinking, vintage/retro is everywhere; fashion, interiors, t.v., even cars, and I say "THANK GOODNESS"!

 

Retro Romance series coming soon!
