Dress: My Grandmother's. Boots: J. Crew (old), here's a pair on sale. Purse: Chanel. Sunglasses: Blinde, similar pair. Headband: ZoeLynn & Co. (last seen here with flower). Earrings: old, similar pair. Necklace: Jewelmint. Bracelet: My Great-Grandmother's. Rings: Melinda Maria, Tiffany, custom at Diamond Direct.

If you've been here just a few weeks you likely know my passion for refined vintage garb.  If you live in the Queen City and you share an appreciation for rare and cultivated threads, you owe it to yourself to pay a visit to hong kong vintage on Central Avenue.  Of course, if you also possess the obsessed eye for such aesthetically resplendent threads, you may already know for yourself about the greatness at hong kong vintage.  This store provides the quintessential experience equivalent to that of a kid in a candy store, the getting is so sweet.  When deciding where Donna and I would shoot one of my favorite dresses which belonged to my Grandmother, hong kong vintage just made perfect sense.  Go get some sugar for yourself.

Thanks for being a sweetie and visiting!

Skirt: My Grandmother's. Turtleneck: CAbi (old), similar one. Jacket: My Great-Grandmother's. Purse: Chanel, here's one.  Boots: J. Crew (old). Sunglasses: Blinde, similar pair. Earrings: from J.T. Posh. Bracelets: My Great-Grandmother's, Grandmother-in-law's, Grandmother's, Stella & Dot. Rings: Tiffany, Diamonds Direct.

I'm not exactly sure where my Grandmother got this skirt, but I know it came from some far off country during her world travels with my Grandfather.  Some of the coolest things she owns she purchased during her travels, and I was always so fascinated by the garments.  You could just tell they were made different from all the rest.  This skirt is no exception.  It has always been one of my favorite inheritance pieces from her; definitely a top pick for my holiday go-to attire. Do you have any favorite holiday pieces?

I hope you and yours have the happiest of holidays and a very Merry Christmas!

Let there be love, let there be light!

Shirt: Anthropologie (old). Shorts: Piperlime and here's another pair. Turtleneck: CAbi, here's one. Boots: J. Crew. (old) here's a pair. Jacket: Gap.  Purse: Coach. Belt: Target. Tights: J. Crew.

Donna and I had so much fun shooting over at Arooji's Wine Room.  If you live in the Queen City, head on over to the Shops at Morrison and cozy up to a glass for yourself... Great food, tasty vino, delightful environment and friendly conversation.  Here I go again with this is one of my favorite outfits, but really it is.  I think it totally speaks to my more common "boho" style by day, and it's so much fun to pair shorts, tights and boots!  Do you agree? 

We are all still grieving the heartbreak in Connecticut.  We have to treat one another with love and kindness. I am praying for those families affected, as I know we all are.  Thank you so much for taking time to be here with me.

I hope you are having a loving week!
