Friday's Favorites

Hands down collar/sweater clips are my favorite accessory. I have a tendency to not only wear them on everything, but structure an entire outfit around the fact that I just want to wear collar clips. They add just this great vintage-esq touch to anything and as a plus are always adorable. An English Garden on Etsy sells some of the cutest clips. Just look at these cloud ones! They’re precious.

Mödernaked is a handmade accessories brand on Etsy that sell some of my favorite backpacks. This Frida Backpack that they’ve created is inspired by Frida Kahlo and is stunning. It’s not overpoweringly floral and would complement many an outfit wonderfully. Plus it add cute functionality!

I’ve always been in love with Sockie’s art. Once I stumbled upon her blog Creature Type two years ago I found her weekly illustration project, The Big Book of Cats, to be clever and such a fun well done project. Since then her are and pins have always been something I’ve come back to. Recently she just created Boss Babes. A coloring book filled with different powerful women to color. Never have I found a coloring book I have been so enamored with (and trust me I have my fair share of coloring books). Go check it out because it’ll make your feminist heart swell.

Now a days I’ve been doing quite a bit of camping and there are always things needed and enamel mugs is one of them. There are always different cute designs for them, but Ohh Deer’s floral mugs have me floored. They’re simple and adorable little things that’ll add some fun to an early camp morning’s French Press coffee.

In my opinion, the best sort of movie/television referencing items are the ones that work on a subtle nod. Which is why I think this Twin Peaks wooden brooch is great! It has two key show elements, the Twin Peaks and a damn fine cup of coffee, in one cute brooch. It’s a nod to a fantastic show and to those who’ve seen it. It’s perfect.

I hope you come across some weekend finds especially during those Memorial Day Sales!

Outfit Post: Memory Grove Park

My top and skirt came from two of my favorite places here in SLC: Retro Betty and Maeberry Vintage. My houndstooth skirt I was lucky enough to pick up at the local shop before Maeberry switched to being an online only retailer. I highly recommend checking out the etsy shop (https://www.etsy.com/shop/MaeberryVintage). Rachel also does some great instagram sales! As for Retro Betty it's this adorable little shop in Salt Lake City that carries both vintage and retro inspired clothes. There are always mannequins with the newest dresses in front of the funky seasonally decorated shop. Both are truly great local finds.

On another note, this Hell Bunny sweater I'm wearing is not only the softest thing, but also reminds me a bit of the Dita Cardigan that I'll probably never have the chance to own (Here!). If you can shell out the $200 please go for it. It's beautiful. 

Also! I recently bought a tripod so rather than occasionally bribing someone to take outfit photos I can take my own. I'm already planning more regular updates and different kinds of posts!

Style Love: Ingrid Bergman

One actress I could not neglect within my Style Love series is Ingrid Bergman. I've been enamored with her effortless style since I first saw Casablanca. So, here's looking at you kid.

Ingrid Bergman is the master of the casual, but put together ensemble. She perfectly sums up the fashion of the 1940's with her clean cut and menswear inspired looks. Plus her roles in Casablanca and many Hitchcock films are absolutely classic! 

I'll never be able to understand how perfect each of her hats are for her outfits!

Ingrid Bergman's ensembles also bounce between structured and flowing in such a way that keeps her style interesting and alive. She didn't stick with one look that was comfortable, instead it changed in ways that still fit well with her look.

I'll always recommend her films for both acting quality and her breathtaking wardrobe!
