Kate Spade Inspired.....

I do usually pay attention to designers or trends as I do enjoy styling things up—I occasionally read women’s magazines for fashion ideas because they inspire "my style" sometimes. I prefer to find my inspiration amongst regular people from fellow bloggers or when I’m milling about & running errands.

However, when I spotted a Kate Spade ad for their fall collection. I so was amazed of this one piece that I made it my mission to find a similar one but yet vintage. I love the classic look mixed with my taste— I pretty much strive for any piece that makes my heart sing in my wardrobe.

I think their pieces are completely lust worthy, and unfortunately way too expensive for my budget. It’s still nice to look at though! But above is my absolute favorite Kate Spade inspired look!

Got the dress while treasure hunting last weekend! Isn’t it a sweeeeet looking dress! It will be on Etsy soon once I figure out how to clean 65% Dacron, 35% Cotton and lining is 100% cotton. Label is a Junior BAZAAR, Sears Roebuck USA. Any advise on how to clean this cute dress would mean so much.

FALLING IN LOVE.....

Beautiful green leaves are fading away fast but I think we give mother nature a helping hand by wearing beautiful & colorful pattern as shown in photos above! Also over the weekend I updated the store with some very desirable vintage dresses & coats designer brand and will blog it later this week!
Au revoir mes amis = this literally means in French " Till seing again friends"

While I was gone......

Baby rabbits in backyard.

My husband Mark discovered them and told me to get the camera and I took
these photos!

The park near home.... A walking distance paradise

I have been going on this 2 mile walk at the park down the road from my house for five 5 years now, and I would often imagine taking photos at several spots while walking the trail. And guess what? Today was the day that I decided to be brave and start taking photos outside with mother's nature light and filter! Not sure how long this is going to last but I'm up for challenge especially if the photos are going to be as nice as this shot. Tired after the shoot but well worth it!

Riding in Style......

When I came across this black & white vintage photo I was floored not only because of the story behind it but what she was wearing to ride her Rollfast bike. The dress couldn't be any more perfect, I assumed the color of the dress was navy blue with big white buttons and hat was also white.

Her parents got her this Rollfast bike to make the 2-mile trip to high school and she was so grateful, as money was scarce in 1938.
