It may just be in my head, but when I saw this photo of 60s model Francoise Hardy in a Paco Rabanne dress on Pinterest I had to do a double-take.  I thought it was me.  Do you think we kinda resemble each other?  By the way she had great style, so Google Image this girl after you're all caught up here ;)

Just curious, Mallory

Adventures with Brian- Vintage shopping in Springfield

I just found these photos from when Brian and I visited Springfield a month ago.  After having breakfast at Gailey's we headed out to my favorite vintage stores in town like Funtiques and ended up at Relics, which I had never been to!  It had some of the midcentury and sewing things I always look for as well as the industrial and vintage military things Brian loves.

Brian ended up buying some beautiful bentwood auditorium chairs.  I bought some cute puzzles (girl directly above and a boy), a few small things, and a vintage Star Wars shirt for my nephew!  Sadly I had to leave that giant mint desk and the metal Barbie Thermos.  Broke my heart.

 Later that night was the goodbye party at Red Velvet for the Denbows.  It was nighttime and none of my pictures really turned out fantastic, but I had to post this one with my girl Missy.  I really, really enjoyed working with her & having conversations with her every night last summer at Red Velvet.  She's in Korea now teaching kids English.  How amazing is she?!

Love, Mallory

Tuesday Tunes: Brian's Beats Springbreak 2012

 Hello friends!  Here in Ohio & Kentucky, this past week it has been sunny and in the 60s. This time of year always has me excited.  There's no more snow, you get to spend time outside, and baseball season starts!

As I mentioned last week, I'm throwing up a playlist that goes along with the recent nice weather.  These are songs that always help put me in a good mood.  As I was making this, I pictured what I would put on a playlist for Mallory and I to listen to as we went on a day date that included thrifting, a music shop, and ice cream.  Not only do I hope you enjoy, I hope it makes you want to go outside and party.

Outfit: Folk & Feather Feature

My friend Betsy and her friend Becki have a blog titled Folk & Feather.  Right after Betsy started the blog and I posted about it here.  Since then she has expanded the blog talking about their nightlife adventures, their favorite fashion collections, and other fashionistas in the Cincinnati area.  Cool girl all over, love it!

 Well today she did a post about my blog!  Go read it over there.  Here's what I wore when my mom shot some photos so I could sent one over to Betsy:

swiss dot shirt- So old I can't remember

suspenders- vintage

jeans- Urban Outfitters

shoes- Seychelles

I love having pals that blog too :)

Accomplishing Goals

Today I finished a big, big goal.  I finally finished redesigning my blog.  I didn't cry, and I didn't have to make any emergency calls.  Miracle.

It was one of my Winter Quarter goals along with turning in my CFDA project, designing Lauren's wedding invitation, sketching accessory designs, spend time with family, & drawing/painting more.  I have completed all of the goals except drawing up a tattoo for Brian.  Well, and now my mom and I are building a bigger/better studio in the basement, so I'm adding that one on, too.

Two more weeks before back to school is long enough to handle those though. Right?

I love looking back and feeling so accomplished.

Baby Mallory

 Today I'm in the cleaning mode.  When I came across my baby book though I thought maybe you all would like to take a peek at me as a youngin.  I love seeing other people's so hopefully you'll find this a tad fascinating.  As you can see I really rocked the bangs and big pouf sleeves :)

 Too fun!  Lovies, Mallory
