::lookbook inspiration::

I'm starting to save more style images I come across on various blogs, photog sites, editorials and Pinterest. Once I list some of the vintage clothing collection, I'd love to put together a fun lookbook. Nothing too wild. I envision more casual and candid shots in outdoor settings. There are lots of creative folks around the area and I'd love to start collaborating with others that share the same love for vintage, pretty photography, styling and adventure.

::pretty clutter VS minimalism::

When it comes to decorating I usually fall into the "pretty clutter" category. As a collector, I can't help it! I come across such unique pieces in my treasure hunting that it's hard to pass up another cool item for my space. I decorate like I salt...I sprinkle it all over. Do I need it? Definitely not. This is what I'm trying to tame.

I'm also drawn to more minimalist and simple settings that let the architectural lines, nature of the materials and necessary furniture pieces speak for themselves. 

With everything, I guess it's all about finding that balance.

::let us drink tea::

My friend, Kelsie, loves having little get-togethers at her quaint vintage shop in Norfolk. This time it was a tea party, fit with mixed-matched vintage tea cups, homemade cookies + treats, and of course her little boutique filled with vintage goodness. And music. There's always a bench for local singer/songwriters to play their heart out. 

The shop was bursting with spring colors. So many pretty details in her shop and no lack of florals. Fine by me.

Beautifully eerie and dark images, captured around a 1920's greenhouse.

::pure perfection::

Stopped dead in my tracks when I saw these images, all inspired by Mexican artist, Frida Kahlo. The colors, patterns, textures, lighting, lipstick and flowers are pure perfection. Round of applause for the photographer + stylist.

::what a room::

The colors, the decorations, that chair...beautiful.

::vintage love // disregarden::

I found out about Jessica of Disregarden through the latest issue of Rue, and I've been admiring her vintage collection. She not only rents beautiful vintage furniture and decor, but reworks pieces with her own touches + has a styling gig too. I love the color of those old post office boxes (or maybe they're lockers?). Either way, it's perfect.

You can see more + shop on the Disregarden blog.
