VPOD: A Clean Slate and A Simple Vintage Dress
2012-01-04 19:38:00 One of the great pleasures of the New Year for me is cracking open a fresh journal and flipping through the blank pages while imagining the stories, adventures, and yes, even the potential trials and tribulations, that I’ll be committing to ink in the days ahead. Before our digital age, the watch keeper on ships would keep a slate tablet near the helm on which he… More About: Vintage , Dress , Clean , Simple

VPOD: Fake Smiles and Vintage 1980s Chanel Handbags
2012-01-02 18:55:00 A smile is the prettiest thing you can wear. Actually I think it’s more accurate to say that a genuine smile is the prettiest thing you can wear! In a study published in the Academy of Management Journal last year, scientists tracked bus drivers, who smile at a whole bunch of people every day. It turns out that when they were “fake smiling” their moods deteriorated, but when… More About: Handbags , Vintage , Fake , Chanel

VPOD: Vintage 1950s Beaded Peacock Sweater and the Magic of Moodling
2011-12-28 20:08:00 I’m a firm believer in what Brenda Ueland calls moodling, “long inefficient, happy idling, dawdling and puttering.” In a weird time-twisting way, I’ve discovered that one secret to getting a lot done is being willing to spend a lot of time alone doing nothing at all! Gazing out a window with a cup of tea. Soaking in a bath. Sitting still and paying attention to the breath. And… More About: Magic , Vintage , Sweater , Separates

VPOD: Vintage Edouard Jerrold Suede Boots and The Ugg Dilemma
2011-12-26 21:25:00 I just spent 20 minutes on the phone with Ugg Australia hammering them with questions about where they source their sheepskins and what standards they have in place for the ethical treatment of animals. Why? Because a dear, dear friend gave me a pair of Ugg boots for Christmas. Yep, Uggs. Made from sheepskin. And as you all know by now, I don’t wear fur.

VPOD: Vintage 1970s Roberta di Camerino Tote Bag and Living As Good As You
2011-12-21 19:53:00 Trompe l’oeil is French for “deceive the eye” and refers to an art technique that can create optical illusions that appear very realistic. But the idea of trompe l’oeil isn’t only applied to art. It also finds its way into fashion. Fashion, by nature, is often used to “deceive the eye” with prescriptions for looking taller, thinner, or more proportional by wearing stripes or wider belts or smaller… More About: Living , Handbags , Vintage , Tote , Good

Vintage Crusader SPOTLIGHT: Shea Curry, Shameless Jewelry and Project Acces
2011-12-15 19:54:00 Think you’re busy? Me too! That’s why I’m amazed when I hear stories of gals who are able to pen novels while waiting in line at the grocery store or who can get more done in a single year than a lot of us can achieve in an entire decade. And Shea Curry is definitely one of these busy bodies who gets things done! When this talented actress… More About: Jewelry , Interviews , Project , Vintage

2011-12-12 19:07:00 World-renowned designer Karim Rashid shared his philosophy with House Beautiful in 2005: “People touch on average, about 500 objects a day—opening a door, drinking from a glass, answering the phone. Why shouldn’t each of them be beautiful?” Yes, why not??? If looking at beauty brings you joy—which it certainly does for most people—then why not fill your life with more beauty and joy?

VPOD HI/LO: Vintage Wreath Pins and Presence vs. Presents
2011-12-10 18:17:00 The hustle and bustle of the Holiday season was interrupted here in LA yesterday morning with the tragic shooting rampage just blocks from my apartment.

Vintage Judith Leiber Handbag Auction at Bonhams
2011-12-08 17:29:00 Like all great collections, it started with just one piece. In this case, it was a pillbox. But not just any pillbox. A Judith Leiber pillbox. Bob Maier purchased it for his wife because she was “completely taken” by Judith Leiber pillboxes. And then, because it pleased her, he discovered a mission. He educated himself about Judith Leiber and her bags and continued to surprise his wife with… More About: Auction , Vintage , Auctions
VPOD: Vintage Flapper Heels and The Power of Practice
2011-12-07 19:00:00 Lao Tzu, the Chinese philosopher who authored The Tao Te Ching, wisely reminds us that the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. What he failed to mention was that the journey of a thousand miles is completed by taking that same step over and over and over and over and over and over again.

VPOD: Vintage 1960s Knit Set and Knitffiti
2011-12-05 20:10:00 I’ve always loved to knit and crochet. These crafts are quite meditative, filled with repetitive motions that help calm the mind. And the tactile sensation of the yarn slipping through my fingers always serves as a reminder that time slips by just as quickly. Yet the only completed project I can boast of is a somewhat pathetic-looking baby blanket I created almost three decades ago while… More About: Vintage
