MARAIS USA S/S 2013 from MARAIS USA on Vimeo.

It's no secret I'm suffering from a case of spring fever.  Aren't we all?  I'm ready for warm weather and sandals and this Marais video for their spring collection sums it all up.  Pretty sandals please!!

Heirloom Vintage

a

Hollister and Porter Hovey, the ladies behind Hovey Designs, have put together a book that "lays out the family influences, experiences and stories behind the homes of our own immediate and extended family."  I always love peeking into other people's spaces, especially when those spaces are filled with antiques and collectibles passed down from generation to generation.  If the family photos from the accompanying Tumblr are any indication, I'm going to have to get my hands on a copy!

Mad Men Season 6

a

Are you ready?  It's almost time for a new season of Mad Men.  The two hour premiere is April 7th.  Isn't it strange to see how much the style has already changed as we move into the late 60s?  A few thing to note:  Megan's hair is kind of crazy, Betty is skinny again, Ginsberg and Stan are still around (check out the beard on Stan) and so is Peggy, although she seems to be on her own.  Can't wait!

Sandalwitch

c

Even though it's still snowing here, I have summer on the mind.  And nothing says summer more than a pair of strappy sandals.  I'm sooo ready to get my feet out of boots!  Last summer I could never make up my mind about which pair of sandals to buy, so I never bought a pair.  Wouldn't it by nice if I could get my hands (er, feet) on a pair of these handmade sandals by Sandalwitch.   If you're in or around San Francisco you can sign up to take a class from the talented sandal-maker.  Oh, to be back in California!

A Night With Nick Cave

z

Last week Tom and I headed to the Keswick Theater to see Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds.  I put on my loudest vintage dress (the print is eerily similar to the one in the new Secret South collection) and the highest heels I own.  We don't go out very often so live it up, right?!  The show was, of course, amazing.  We saw him once before in NYC so I had an idea of what to expect.  Imagine going to a southern revival where the preacher is drunk, perverted and possessed.  In other words, it was pretty amazing!  If you have the chance to see him live, definitely check it out!
