SHOP UPDATE: SLOUCHY SWEATERS

happy Sunday ALL! this weekend was limited work for Bella because i'm preparing for my Zoe's departure to Miami for the summer..she will be gone for a full two months so by next week i will be putting allot more attention to the shop!

it's bitter sweet because i miss her sooo but at the same time as a single mom who is juggling a full time job plus my night time gig with Bella it will be a bit easier to come home and basically only worry on having to feed myself and catch up on minuet task around the house..oh and a little hanging time with friends!

i had a photo-shoot today with the lovely Stephanie which we cancelled and rescheduled for next Sunday; which works out so i may have a bigger update for the following week..besides me and Zoe need to spend as much time as possible..

but i did do a small update this weekend with the cutest slouchy sweaters, in the SHOP now:

vintage 1980's floral hand loomed slouch sweater


vintage 1980's floral appliqué loose knit sweater


vintage 1980's electric blue slouchy cardigan



vintage 1980's new wave abstract slouch sweater


vintage 1980's loose knit dot's & hearts hand made sweater

now off to have a bike ride with Zo Zo..hope your having a lovely Sunday!

LEGGINGS ARE MY BEST FRIEND!

Happy Wednesday all! leggings are my best friend for those days i want to be comfortable and loose not like the restraint feeling that you sometimes get from jeans. i lived in leggings in Elementary and never thought i would see the day they would come back..i actually went thrifting for them back in 2005 just for around the house use so it's little weird that i'm wearing some of my child hood clothes..maybe not the fact about the look because it's like our parents wearing bell bottoms but more of the fact that they are now considered vintage along with all the 90 Grunge dress's..i have to wrap my head around that one since it's over 20 years old..eeks

this red door also caught my eye! i loved all the contrast in it and it's rustiness..there is so much going on within it...and with the grainy look of the pictures..an happy accident






vintage 80's mesh jumper: available in the shop now bellavintage
leggings: Harajuku Lovers
sandels: Urban Outfitters
necklace: hand made antique skeleton keys (coming soon to the shop)

and my lovely photographer Zoe..she's the best!

BLOG CRUSH: MOUSEVOX VINTAGE

GOOD Tuesday to you! i almost forgot to mention about our sponsorship over at MouseVox Vintage. We are very smitten with Miss Rachel's great blog, and through out these months of interacting with her i can surely say she is one of the sweetest bloggers on the block...so it was a given that i would love to sponsor her blog once she opened it up for sponsor ships this month.





she not only Blogs but runs her own On-Line vintage shops both on Etsy and auctions on eBay and soon to be in Market Publique..some of the reasons i have been a loyal follower of hers, is because i quite enjoy her Style Post and her Blog To Note Post; which has been a great source on learning about other bloggers out there...





so go check her blog out HERE and check out the other sponsors too!



xoxo

OUTFIT POST: I LOVE MY SUSPENDERS

happy Monday! so this outfit post is Zoe's..lately she has had more interest in clothes..before she only liked clothes for comfort and has not worn dress's or skirts since she was 9..that hasn't changed which makes me quite frustrated since i always see dress's i love for her but oh well it's her style..maybe she'll get into them later..

so i got her these adorable boyfriend jeans with suspenders, they look great on her..the brand is Abbey Dawn and it is one of the many brands the company i work for designs and manufactures..the shirt is Harajuku Lovers which is another brand we do..so needless to say you will see her wearing allot of these brands..so good thing she loves these brands!

she's an active girl which basically is one of the reasons she lives in jeans, tee's, hoodies and sneakers..i like that she is not concerned on how others look but what she feels comfortable in and what she likes..you will be seeing allot more outfit post from her, we are both having allot of fun with it now!





jeans: Abbey Dawn
tee: Harajuku Lovers
sneaks: Converse
glasses: generic
