golden fur vintage preview

new shop updates coming to golden fur vintage! keep your eyes peeled tonight and tomorrow.

blush

this top is one of the best things i own. i got it one of the first times i traded at beacons closet. as i was being helped, at the trade in counter, the girl next to me brought in a bag of clothes to trade, and it seemed like every item pulled out was better than the last! very cute vintage clothing, i really dont know why this girl was wasting her time there, she had quality stuff!
as her things were being priced i asked if i was allowed to buy the things being priced right then. so i asked for the things that caught my eye, this being one fo them. i ended up getting another dress too from the things she brought in. thanks cute vintage girl!
its vintage christian dior in a beautiful pale pink color, and these photos dont do it much justice, but it has a floral design to it. the only problem is a hardly wear it, i think i have yet to find the perfect skirt/shorts/pants to go with it. but i dont think i can ever give this baby up!

Ambit f/w 2011

a little preview of what i did this weekend. during the holiday times i was introduced to wray serna through hannah and landon, which led to her asking if i would be interested in modeling for her and her partner amber's clothing line ambit. it was to be shot by landon metz and daniel croninand it would involve taking a train to connecticut to her mothers beautiful old house, and getting to wear really beautiful clothes..so i said YES! it was a really great day, we ate yummy food, drank delicious hot cider, tromped around in snow up to our knees (wearing next to nothing, might i add!) and then thawed by the fireplace.
the ambit fall/winter 2011 line is so beautiful, wonderful dark colors, navy blue, deep green, black and a pop of white here and there. the best sheer soft fabric blouses, and thick skirts with wonderful detail and silhouette. real dreamy stuff.
follow their shop blog here for updates and keep your eyes peeled here for more images once they make their way to me.

summer lovin'

playing a bit of dress up before work today. starting to use my tripod more.. i guess its not as bad as i thought. a little time consuming.. but its fun having your boyfriend go off to work and then dancing around to music and taking photos while hes away, heh.
the european american shirt i got at beacons closet a year or two ago, i wear it A LOT in the summer. i guess thats what i was kinda going for here. i woke up thinking of spring, and then when i got dressed i just jumped to summer. the shorts were thrifted and used to be pants. the black hat is the best hat ever. felt and fits just right, its all one piece too which is cool, the shaping of it. that was thrifted like 4 years back. the killer denim deadhead vest used to be my moms! she painted that on the back, and the half moon pin in the front is hers too. my mom was pretty cool as a teen, she didn't go to prom cause she dug rock n' roll ;)

a little curl

i used mt tripod today to take these, i had off and jeremy was at work all day so i had to make due. it was not fun, today was pretty cold, and on my camera i have to reset the timer after every picture. so only a few mediocre shots today.
you can find some new listings in my shop today, and more to come next week!

faux fur coat- thrifted
hand knit sweater- thrifted
floral jumper- gift from courtney
belt- thrifted
tights- gift from my sister

and look at this little guy, found a new favorite spot in my closet!

golden fur vintage preview

a preview of things coming to the shop tomorrow. a big thanks to hannah for helping me with these photos!

shoes and floral and velvet

this is basically just me coveting jeffrey campbell shoes. i really dont use pollyvore enough, but today i really got into a grind of filling my favorite items folder and pumping these babies out. really inspiring, i honestly dont buy much contemporary clothing anymore, but it was fun window shopping and putting things on my list of things to took out for when i hit the thrifts.

morning light

some photos by hannah from our shoot today. shes an extra busy girl these days, being as the loved one just launched their line of unmentionables for pre-order! but she was able to squeeze in a bit of time for her and i to get together and have another go at shop photos for our respective shops. getting to see hannah and landon is always a pleasure, and i have something coming up next weekend that landon is involved in, but ill post more on that next week!

i was just saying today in this post how i wanted to see the dress i traded with caitlin in one of her paintings. and now here it is! i love these little paintings of hers thats a new take on the outfit photo. more atcaitlin's flickr.

girls girls girls

a while back before christmas caitlin shearer posted on her blog about ordering prints for the holiday times. it prompted me to ask her about a trade and to my delight she was very interested! ever since a couple of years ago when i made a flickr account i came across her, one way or another, and fell in love with her dreamy watercolors. and for some reason she liked me too! this little trade started a nice back and forth through emails, shes such a sweet girl, so sad she lives all the way over in australia!
so caitlin said she was interested in this dress, which i couldnt have been happier about! these photos dont do it much justice, but it just seemed like the perfect dress for her. in fact, i could totally see one of her girls drawn in this dress (just and idea.. hint hint!) so last week i received my prints in the mail, these two larger ones are the prints i requested, but to my surprise she also sent me a few mini prints! she also included a mix cd of all her favorite winter songs, the first being the twin peaks theme. she really knows the way to my heart!
now i have an abundance of art i need to get framed! my apartment is looking more beautiful by the day, newly decorated in all my distant friends amazing art!


stop by her shop for all the loveliness you can handle!

proenza schouler ss11

when i first saw this line, i knew for sure it was my favorite for the season. proenza schouler often does it right and have long been a favorite of mine now (when i was still at FIT for a fashion illustration class we had to pick a designer and a decade to be inspired by. i chose them and the 70's.. it was pretty great) for quite a while. the sheer, the silhouette, the colors... and these campaign ads just totally finnish it off for me.

images from fashion gone rogue

mellow yellow

sorry these photos are so bad! it was a bit cold out and we just got dumped with so much snow the two days ago and so it was so bright out! im squinting in most of these photos, but you get the idea. i mostly wanted to show off what i did all day yesterday. it was a snow day and so i stayed home from work and made about 25 little bows in four different vintage fabrics, this being one if them! im going to sell them at golden fur vintage with either pins so you can wear it as a brooch or neck bow tie, or with a hair clip to add to your do'! they came out so great, they are mostly hand stitched, with a bit of help from my machine. they will be affordable too, since im a very thrifty person, i dont like to sell things for more than im willing to spend on them. so be on the look out after this weekend for this little gem, and all of her sisters to show up in the shop!
these are the second pair of little boys pants i thrifted. love the color and they fit so well! this cropped floral jacket i got at beacons closet last spring i believe. and iv only worn it once before! it keeps going into my sell pile, but once i go through it again, i always take i t back!
this cream blouse is one of my best finds ever. i found it thrifted one day and left without it.. for some reason i didnt see it full potential at the time, and didn't have enough money either. then it started to haunt me a bit as i would be planning outfits and a blouse like this would pop into my head. if only i had one! a few days later i went back to that same shop and there it was! waiting for me, and 50% this time!
the boots as you already know are urban outfitters. no joke when i say i wear them all the time!

also, iv gotten into the habit (or i would like to keep it up!) of buying myself flowers every week! trader joes has some really nice flowers sometimes and for cheap, so why not! last week it was purple roses, this week its yellow ranunculus!

prada
