Weekend Vintage: Smells Like Teen Spirit

The 90s were a really amazing time - everything was acceptable; people felt free, fashion was strange and music was phenomenal. It feels like it wasn’t that long ago, but watching an episode of Seinfeld always reminds me just how long ago it was. I will say that I am happy some famously 90s things have not made a return (body suits and round sunglasses, I am looking in your direction,) but the last few years have definitely shown a revival of many 90s fashion favorites. Walking the streets of Brooklyn, you can’t help but notice an homage to the decade of Easy-E and Jane’s Addiction.

Weekend Vintage: Merry Christmas

Santa was feeling awfully old-school this year and I am just loving it! I got so many great, vintage things for my little haus. Merry Christmas, indeed.

Evidence of a successful Christmas comes in the form of a giant mess.

Weekend Vintage: Christmas Greetings

There is something fundamentally old-timey about the holidays. It is the single time of year when classic, timeless traditions still prevail at the heart of things. These vintage greetings are no exception; they convey the spirit of the season and they have an added effect: nostalgia. The vintage aesthetic brings to mind images of grandmas preparing elaborate dinners, sparkly cocktail dresses, creeping down stairs, stuffing stockings with oranges and hard candy, singing Christmas carols in quiet neighborhoods, hiding new puppies in boxes, etc. I love it all so much.
