While thrifting with Helen a couple weeks ago I found these drinking glasses. They're covered in this really cool woven fabric kind of like a cozy. I bought all six for only $10! Major score. I thought they looked pretty cool with this wood cooler I am selling in the shop.
My friend Helen came up from Chicago for a visit Tuesday. She owns a company that reps for different clothing lines like Dear Creatures and Erika Weiner. We had so much fun going to antique shops and eating at all my favorite restaurants in Duluth. She's so sweet and brought me some clothing samples from last season including this romper (but the striped one) which I think I will be wearing with a long black cardi. I'm so fortunate to have such amazing friends in my life and when they happen to deal clothes for a living? Well that's just icing on the cake.
How awesome are these vintage pieces from Kind? Not sure if I could pull of that first look, but I would definitely give it a try. I emailed the owner Erin (super nice) who told me the coolots are a size small which is too bad because a medium would have been mine! Kind is also having a sale right now worth checking into...I still really want this Mociun tank.
The other week I told you I was considering buying this dress from Lollycrisp Vintage (also known as Oma Vintage in Philly) and as you can see- I did! I couldn't be happier. When ordering vintage over the internet you never know what it's going to be like in person, but I love this. Her shop has been a constant go to lately. She has some amazing stuff. I've been wanting to add more color in my wardrobe and this blue really stood out to me. The only thing I am unsure of is jewelry, which I think it needs to break up the blue a bit. Any suggestions? I'm wearing them with my Francesca Giobbi flats, which I tried selling on ebay awhile back and am so glad they didn't sell. 
After admiring Anabela's basket, I started to look on Etsy for woven or basket purses. I was quite surprised at all the nice ones I came across. These are just a few that stood out. I don't really have a go-to summer purse. I usually use a few different ones depending on what I'm wearing or doing, but I can see using one of these all summer long.
Just thought I would share with you some very springy things I just added to the shop. My dear friend Molly is in town for a visit this week. I'm hopefully going to see her today. I haven't seen her in months because she has been living and working in Antarctica. If you haven't noticed I have a few friends who live there! I think the scientists like hiring people from Minnesota since we're use to the cold :) 
Kim from the delightful vintage shop Pineapple Mint contacted me the other week about doing a vintage swap. We would each send each other a package of vintage items (for us to keep!), and then blog about the experience. I have never done a vintage swap, but I was on board with idea right away. I received my package the other day was jumping for joy when I emptied the box and cute shoes came falling out. In my package we're two pairs of shoes, the cutest red rain hat, and a lovely silk scarf. Kim has such a great eye, and I keep checking her shop and Flickr for updates which happen frequently. She also has a witty and fun blog to check out as well. Thanks Kim!

I'm loving these dresses by designer Ellen Van Dusen. Made from vintage fabrics, her latest line is full of 80's geometric prints to Native American textiles. She even manages to make acid wash look good. Doesn't that dress look like clouds? Love it!
