The Fabulous Five- Spring Edition

I was perusing through some of my favorite  blogs and found a theme. Look at all the wonderful vintage sweaters, a spring wardrobe necessity. I am in serious need of a trip to the thrift store.

1. Meghan of Out Of Order

Not only does Meghan incorporate lot's of vintage and secondhand goodness in her outfit posts but she goes a step further and makes her own clothes. I just adore this cardigan and the comfortable vibe of this outfit.

2. Unyime of Expressions Realia

I am always learning something new about vintage fashion when I read Unyime's blog. His website is so well put together as are his outfits like this one, this cardigan is amazing, n'est pas?

3. Mitzi of Night Lights 

I just adore Mitzi's style ever since I discovered her on chictopia. The girl is such an artistic fashionista!

4. Marie of Lemondrop Vintage

This dress is just fantastic and the girl is a vintage wonder always finding lovely things and having giveaways:)

Oh I sort of diverged from the the theme a little for this dress...

5. Amber of Violet Folklore

What a perfect spring dress to wear over and over again. Amber's blog is amazing with her adorable daughter and she also has an amazing Etsy store with the most divine dresses.

The Fabulous Five

 Each month I feature five beautiful outfits* from other style bloggers.  Before I forget to mention it, I was recently featured on the Thrift Town website here. I apologize if the descriptions are a bit brief as this weekend is a bit insane (I'm hosting a Mad Men Cocktail Party tonight!) and I wanted to get the feature in on time. Without further ado, here are my July picks of fabulousness.
1. Avalonne Summers of the girl from hk,ldn & sf. I'm a sucker for high-waisted trousers and Avalonne wears them with such panache with a crisp white dress shirt. What a perfect canvas for that gorgeous vintage brooch and shoes. They really stand out well with such a classic pieces. I've been reading her blog pretty much since it's inception and it is an absolute must read, full of gorgeous photography and her unique innate creative sense of style.

2. Arielle of Old Hat Diary. I find so many amazing people from chictopia although the editors seem to despise my style 50 percent of the time. I'm constantly getting taken off the style gallery for good quality photos but I digress. The important thing is I've found some amazing bloggers like Arielle. She wears hats and vintage ingeniously. I love the way she puts together her outfits. That bag and hat with that dress, perfection!

3. Anne of A Cup Full of Sunshine . This photo reminds me of the classic western, The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, in the best way possible. That hat is amazing paired with her flowy white dress. Absolutely stunning! 

 

4.Meggstatus of Another Day to Dress Up. I love the way this outfit flows together. The hat and the shorts really complement each other. She is so good at making thrifted and vintage look oh so current!

5.Kelly Lauren of Kelly Shoestrings.I love the scalloped shorts and the bold blue accessories but that shirt is my favorite. Such a distinctive piece! Kelly has a knack for finding incredible vintage.

Thank you everyone who participated in this months edition. You all have incredible personal style.

The Fabulous Five

 Each month I feature five amazing outfits from other style blogs. Here are my June picks.
1. Rosie of rosemud. I just fell in love with this outfit as soon as I saw it. The slightly disheveled look adds so much to what could have been a very prim and proper outfit. The skirt is such a pretty color and drapes her so beautifully. Rosie has such a unique personal style and an absolutely gorgeous blog chock full of thrifted goodness. This photograph is stunning too and there is a lot more loveliness to check out on her website.

 2.Marie of Mamushka Marie. I really enjoy doing this feature because although it is sometimes challenging to find what I'm looking for it forces me to discover new blogs. Marie's blog is absolutely wonderful so I am very glad to have found it. The print and color of this dress  is just incredible and I love the white and brown accessories that accompany it. Isn't that purse darling?

 

3. Whitney of Ladywolf Vintage. I am obsessed with off white lace dresses. I really love how she pairs it with the black shorts and top. The contrast highlights the lace perfectly. That vintage purse is just amazing too. Whitney has incredible style and she is also a photographer and vintage shop owner so her blog is an absolute must see.

 

4. Rebecca of The Dandelion Girl.  I am always so impressed when people make their own clothes. Rebecca actually saw a picture of this vintage dress on the Cat's Pajamas blog and made a similar one. Now that is someone who has beyond amazing sewing skills and what a lovely dress, both of them. She has a pretty blog too and such lovely settings.

5. Jennifer of Sally Jane Vintage. Jennifer proves it is never too hot outside to be fashionable. Those plaid shorts are such a statement pieces and she lets them shine in this outfit pairing it with a simple tank top. If for some reason you haven't checked out her blog you must. The photography and clothing are stunning.

Next week I have so many outfit posts I hopefully will get a chance to photograph.

The Fabulous Five

Each month I feature five amazing thrifted or vintage outfits from other style blogs. Here are my May picks.

1. Susie of Love Ship. I absolutely fell in love with this dress when I saw it via calivintage and had to put it in this month's edition. I am pretty much obsessed with lace anything right now and this dress is the epitome of what makes lace so desirable. Her blog also happens to be full of amazing, jaw-dropping pieces and the way she puts together outfits is nothing short of incredible. This dress was thrifted for $5!  I am all about amazing steals. It is what makes thrifting so exciting, the thrill of the chase so to speak. I also love how she paired it with black socks and t-straps.

2.Mitzi of Night Lights. I've known of Mitzi's style via chictopia soon after I started blogging and was so happy when she started her own blog. Her dark hair and pale skin give a dramatic backdrop to her stunning vintage styles. She has such a distinctive style and looks she makes the vintage look so current which is my preference. When I saw her rock these vintage trousers I was so taken with this particular outfit.  I am so into trousers right now and I love how she pairs it with white tights and that lovely hat.

 

3. Katy of Kansas Couture.Okay, here we have at least two of my obsessions du jour: high waisted shorts and lace. I'm also partial to blazers and her shoes are indisputably incredible. I was vaguely aware of her blog's existence but recently discovered this outfit via weardrobe. This outfit is 100% thrifted. I am such a fan of that (obviously).

4. Tranish  of Tranish. I found her blog via weardrobe when she was rocking an amazing afro wig. Although I was slightly disappointed that was not her actual hair I was so glad to find her lovely blog. I love this take on the nautical theme. The vintage jumper is incredible. Her blog contains more of her unique take on fashion.

 5. Simone of Shoeless Simone. Her blog is my most recent find via chictopia and it is definitely worth a look. The photography is stunning. She also finds some amazing vintage pieces including this gorgeous turquoise cut-out dress.

The Fabulous Five

Each month I will be featuring five amazing thrifted or vintage outfits from other style blogs. Here are my April picks. 

 Thrift Candy was one of the first blogs I found when I started my site. Missa has such a relaxed yet fun and innovative style and most of her clothes are thrifted. She also is a very sweet and gracious blogger.  I really loved the bohemian feel of this outfit and the red shoes and bag really make it stand out.

I found Molly on chictopia and fell in love with this American Apparel dress. I love the pattern of the tie dye. She has other amazing styles that can be found on  La fille Atomique.

I just found Virgin's blog via a link on someone's blog. I love this colorful 90's inspired outfit and the girl knows how to work a camera. She can be found on Vintage Virgin for more awesome thrifted styles.

I found this outfit on chictopia too and love the combination of florals and sheer black top. More lovely thrifted outfits by Heraid can be found on her blog, Poorly Fashioned. 

 I fell in love with this brown dress and the accessories make it look even more great. I found Kristen on chictopia as well and am so glad I did.  She has such amazing vintage style. She can be found at Leproust Vintage.
