caped crusader

Nearly every magazine I open lately seems to be showcasing capes and cloaks as must-have outerwear for fall. As you know I posted a beautiful najavo cloak here which truly inspired the purchase of this vintage cape. It's cozy and warm and really elevates an otherwise simple look..

Fashion Trend Guide: Blogger on the Rise

autumn calling

 
 (vintage cowboy boots, vintage jacket, vintage levis, f21 belt, vintage bag, vintage slip)

Clearly, these photos were taken in warmer weather. Buffalo's forecast has really taken a turn for the worse recently, bringing damp dreary days, clouds upon clouds, and the need to turn on the thermostat that much earlier.  This was a (mostly) vintage ensemble I put together mid-summer but never blogged about.  I bring these pictures out of the archives now because I have finally gotten around to starting my own Etsy shop!  You can now shop my vintage finds, including this top (which can be styled as a shirt or a jacket) here.  I'm rapidly updating the store, so check back often. Happy autumn!

totally waisted

As most of you know, I'm a sucker for menswear on women; it exudes such strength and power. I added an element of sex appeal with this lacey number. The pants are vintage Dior - truly a diamond find at my local thrift shop. I won't even tell you what I paid for them - it's sinful. How do you feel about this leopard bag? I'm a bit on the fence with it. To be sure, I've been searching for a leopard print purse for some time, but I'm just not sure I'm 100% on this guy.

falling for military

(vintage leather purse, h&m cargo shirt & pants, jeffrey campbell mary roks wedge, vintage ring)

So I've finally hopped aboard the cargo train,  in the past I wouldn't have been caught dead in this trend but these tapered ones paired with one of my favorite H&M blouses comes off effortless and easy for a casual weekend brunch.  Next on my list is investing in a military inspired jacket.  I think olive green is quickly becoming my go to fall color.

I had a creative and lovely autumnal weekend.  It was spent drinking cider, bbqing, picking pumpkins, sampling kettle corn and tackling antique and thrift shops.  I'm happy to announce I'll be starting up my own shop!!! You'll be able to purchase my lightly worn & one of a kind vintage duds.  Shopping vintage is one of my favorite past times so I look forward to sharing my finds!  Hope everyone is getting into the fall season.... I'm off to make some homemade mac & cheese! Mmmmm
