a guest model + new equipment

So, I got a new camera! It's pretty great, and although I'm still learning, I wanted to share some of my first pictures with you! I'm very lucky that my friend and fellow vintage-enthusiast, Kater, was willing to be my guest model for this shoot. She looks amazing in everything, and for this shoot, we did mostly hats and jewelry so that I could work on my macro and portrait shots.

 Grabbed a little extra sunshine for this black hat since the satin was only a few 

shades darker than her brown locks.

(I've been nagging her to give us an eyeliner tutorial.)

All of these items will be in the shop shortly! Thanks to the lovely Kaitlin of AllThisHappiness for being the prettiest model around! She's wearing a vintage dress from her personal collection, her nail polish is June (a true coral) from Chanel, and her lips are Niagara by Nars. Stunning!

Vintage Odyssey 3001...

I recently hit 3001 sales and it put me to thinking. . .  what will be in fashion in 3001? I'm guessing a few of these items below might have the approval of my sci-fi & vintage enthusiasts!

1950's Veiled Pink Cloche and the Flight Attendants From Stanley Kubrick's Space Odyssey 2001

The Replicant Rachael From Ridley Scott's Blade Runner and some 1950's Pink Star Cat Eyes

Vanilla Cape Style Cardigan and Princess Leia from Star Wars: A New Hope 

One of the Four Sirens (Beau Garrett) From Tron and a Vintage Sculptural Hat

Get them before the future does!

Recreate it: Dunaway Style!

Alright, let's see if we can attempt to recreate Faye's style in this iconic photo:

GreenVioletVintage's Mustard Yellow Sweater is the perfect tailored cut.

Thrush's vintage garden scarf is the perfect Dunaway accessory! Worn just like Faye!

As for the hat: This was a little harder . . . I wanted the construction of my Wool Beret,

with the slouchy cut of retrolane's Tam Cap, plus the color nemres's Chunky Knit Hat.

I couldn't pick one, so let's love all three!
