VINTAGE 90's TAKE OVER!

happy Monday all! this weeks vintage is a 90's take over..this vintage era was my era, so it's crazy to think that the clothes i wore in junior high/high school is the vintage that is trendy now..woah i'm sure you gals in your 30's may have the same thoughts on this...but with that said i did love my era because my high school staple was the vintage baby doll dress with tight's (i had several pairs of the 3" inch black stripe with another solid color) and combat boots with my box bag..who remembers those? i did love what we wore but i have to say i'm liking the florals more now then i did then..

i also gave allot of my vintage away, loads of baby doll dress's, crop tops and tight little league tee's...if i new then what i know now i would of stored all that UP to bring it out NOW for the shop...who new?! i do still have a few items that are mine from the 80's and shirts and baby dolls i wore in the 90's in my storage..so hard to let those go..i'll have to do a show and tell soon, aww nostalgia down memory lane..

well the shoot this week was with my lovely model Sarah..she totally looked like the California girl in the late 80's to me, the one that hung out at the beach and got those amazing gold streaks in her hair...the vintage is complete 90's floral's, to be in the SHOP by Thursday all in between moving into our new place..












20 more items to come this weekend if my move permits..click HERE to shop!

FOR THE LOVE OF INDIE DESIGNER: CHICA DE CANELA

i can never say enough of the independent designers out there..it is an obsession and i so wish i had the funds to support them by buying their goods..very tempting..one such accessories designer on my radar is Chica De Canela..a designer from Spain with a name that pretty much sums up her designs..very sweet and very cute!

since i heart vintage so much it's no wonder that my eye pretty much always gravitates towards that route..i love all the cutsie delicate pieces with the cross stitch vintage inspired designs..








also love her girl necklaces, key chains and crochet hair clips..








aaaand cutsie wallets and purses..

you can buy her designs via her website at chicadecanela.com and also check out her trade show photos and other designs via her flickr..

CHICK NIGHT + WEEKEND HAPPENINGS!

it was a pretty disappointing movie pick this past "chick night"...i decided to pick a current film since lately we have been strictly watching 80's films and went with what was edited to look funny Ghost From Girlfriends Past, starring Matthew McConaughey and Jennifer Garner..like every big Hollywood film it had the always very predictable plot which in the end "bad boy" always get's "the girl" blah..so tired of these movies unlike the classic films..i know i know i sound like a grouch but i was so annoyed by Mister McConaughey, who always seems to play the same rico sauve man role i had enough! Zoe on the other hand liked Miss Jennifer Garner but admitted to the cheese factor and we had to skip over several overly sexual scenes...it's rated PG-13 which she's almost 13 but sometimes you think it's just language and it looks funny BUT nope it's all about sex...jeez

currently we both are hooked on 21 Jump Street..we are now on Season 2 doing all I believe 6 Seasons on Netflix through WII..we love WII TV! i realized how much i missed watching this show it was part of my childhood..i was 10 when i first watched it and i had already developed the biggest crush on Mister Depp! the flash back on all the cool late 80's fashion is the best..oh and Holly Robinson is the cutest! i also had the biggest crush on Richard Grieco but now watching it, i don't understand why i thought he was so cute...he wore more make up then me! it's crazy how i'm watching classics (in this case 80's classics) with Zoe..wow, it feels like yesterday, truly...

oooh i heart my acid wash jean jacket...




the later years..i don't remember Johnny Depp having a mullet..


i had posters like this plastered all over my room...now Zoe is plastering Justin Bieber and Robert Patterson posters all over hers..




he looked so cute as a punk in this episode..


Zozo and i really enjoy where we live in a little town up by the mountains of Pasadena in L.A...it's so quiet, peaceful and quaint but just close enough to the city which is perfection for us..it still has most of it's Historical buildings, the town was founded in 1899..i heard that years later it became a hippie community in the 60' through the 90's..you still see allot of that influence here...it has a good amount of "mom and pop shops" and we enjoy walking to them, it's a nice perk..we have the best local pizza shop and i don't mind having this as my back drop as we eat..
