Don't see an item I posted before that you were interested in? Don't fret! I still have many more listings to add, and I will be doing so this week. I know right now there aren't many listings, but I wanted to post at least some! I wanted to take more pictures today, but the weather was not kind.

Have a lovely evening!

Much love,

Time is all around (part 2)

First of all, it seems that we have gained several new readers over the weekend, so I just wanted to say hello to you all! I'm delighted you've joined us. I hope you're having better Memorial Day weather than we have here - it's been gray and rainy all day, with the occasional thunderstorm to spice things up. Normally, I absolutely adore storms, but the abrupt change in weather has given me a terrific headache. What bad luck!

Our house-hunting plans have come to an abrupt halt, sadly - not all of the girls are able to afford it at the moment. I'm still hoping to move out, though. It may be a little bit crazy (I don't have a steady job at the moment) but I'm determined to do it. I have a job for the school year - I'll be a writing consultant at my university - so I just need to make it through the summer.

I can't believe I'll be entering my senior year of college. How did that happen? More and more lately, I've been getting the question, "What do you plan to do after graduation?" And I never know what to say. I've been kicking around a few ideas in my head, but I think I'll address that in a future post...

Speaking of posting, I think I'm going to try to get on a more regular blogging schedule. I want to have regular outfit posts, inspiration posts, and store updates...because I've been getting a lot done so that it'll be ready soon! I'm so excited. I may also do occasional features of little spots around the Grand Rapids area...what do you think?

I'll leave you with the second half of the photoshoot I posted on Friday. In case anyone was wondering about the clothes - most of them are Esther's, except for the dress I'm wearing, and I'm fairly certain that each and every item was thrifted. We started out with a slightly 1940's-ish inspiration, but we had to throw in some boho, of course.

One of these things is not like the other

This is just a quick little post to show off the treasures I discovered at the antique mall last Saturday!

1940's dress - modeled by Esther

Doesn't Esther look lovely? I fell in love with this dress the first time I saw it at the antique mall a month ago. I couldn't get it out of my head, so I decided to go back and buy it! It's going to be part of my mom's vintage wedding dress business, which is slowly but surely coming together. We just got a spot at the bridal show at DeVos next month, so I'm going to be crazy busy getting everything together for that.

The clutch is going to be going up in our store as soon as we get it set up!

cardigan: H&M | dress: ModCloth | boots: vintage, 1960's

Believe it or not, I wasn't cold at all! Granted, I didn't keep this outfit on for long - just for pictures - but really, I didn't even shiver.

I thought the array of things I bought was kind of hilarious. Vintage beaded dress, 1960's go-go boots - but then, the little beaded purse kind of pulls it all together, in a weird way.

Look for the boots in our store as soon as we get it set up! My goal is to have it up and running within the next month or so.

Be well,

Laura & Esther
