some girls have all the good stuff
I've been falling in love with the 30s lately..which I need to get over because it's only a few more months after I get an interest that I start thinking I need to wear original 30s dresses and lord-of-budgeting knows I ca't afford that once we move. But look how cool this girl was, she made the Depression look good, and so can all of us poor gals.

The Other Day in Rockridge...
On the campus of art school last week.
I'm wearing:
- late-60s black hat (from Black Cat Vintage Collective, San Jose CA)
- late-50s Polaroid Cool Ray sunglasses (from a since-closed thrift store)
- 50s gray brocade dress (also from Black Cat)
- 50s corduroy jacket (from Villains Vintage Clothing, Orange CA)
- 60s red plaid thermos/picnic tote (also from Villains)
- white early 60s pointed skimmer flats (from Elsewhere Vintage, Orange CA)
Biba and Lips
The mid-60s are what made me fall in love with vintage; I love the frivolity and playfulness.

Big Sur, New Hat
My husband Gio and I are making the move from southern California to the San Francisco Bay area in two and a half weeks, we've got ourselves signed away on an apartment lease and are ready to go (car willing, that is). After our apartment-searching trip I convinced Gio to drive down the coast through Big Sur, because it's the most gorgeous place you'll ever be; I thought it was great but the damn car didn't take the winding coast highway too well.. Anyway here are pictures Gio took of me in my mod-Amish look.
I'm wearing:
- black late-60s hat (from Black Cat Vintage Collective, San Jose CA)
- early 60s gray wool jumper dress with matching belt (from Villains Vintage Clothing, Orange CA)
- black 60s/70s polyester turtleneck shirt (also from Villains)
- original 80s Morrissey button
- (not pictured) 60s saddle shoes
My name, by the way, is Lisa - art student & owner/director/model/photographer/buyer/seller/shipping dept/customer service of soon-to-be eBay store
