Shout Out~

Dear followers,

I’m sorry for my absence. While on my trip to Omaha, my friend and I decided to finally turn our repetitive day dream into a reality. For the past few weeks or more, we have been working on our own website/blog, which I will share with all of you when I depart from Spanish Moss Vintage in September to focus on my own endeavors. But in the mean time I will continue to write for SMV. I just want to thank each and every one of you who have made this experience one to remember. And of course, a big thank you to Suzanne Ford, you have been my inspiration from day one.

On Friday some friends and I will be heading to Nebraska. There is only one thing I would ever travel to Nebraska for, and that is Conor Oberst. My childhood crush will be reuniting Desaparecidos, a short lived side project from 2001-2002, Cursive, Bright Eyes and many more will be performing as well. Not only will the performance be incredible but the concert is in effort to benefit ACLU’s (American Civil Liberties Union) fight against Fremont’s anti-immigration Law. Welcome back to the 60’s my friends.

10,000 Lakes

Drifting Gypsy — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 07:37:25 +0000

Last weekend I took a trip up to Minnesota to visit a dear friend of mine for her birthday weekend. It was my first visit to the land of 10,000 lakes but certainly not my last.
Most of our time was spent biking about the city, hanging out with her cat Lucifer and cooking. We browsed a lot of really great vintage shops in the Uptown area. One shop in particular that I recall had an amazing collection of old 60’s magazines and Lolita sunglasses. We spent the birthday evening bowling at this fantastic little retro bowling alley called Bryant-Lake Bowl that’s also attached to the Cabaret Theater. Below are a few pictures from the weekend.

This past holiday weekend was spent back home in Michigan and Indiana.

Our 4th of July feast. (Watermelon is obviously a MUST.)

Fireworks on the dock.

I discovered that my old neighbors in Michigan were big collectors and they showed us their “treasure shed”. We ended up hanging out in there all night and listening to Joplin.

God Bless.

A bout de souffle

To celebrate Jean-Luc Godard’s 50th anniversary of the 1960 film, Breathless, my friends and I saw a showing of it at the Music Box Theater last night.

Michel Poiccard’s character, played by Jean-Paul Belmondo, is a runaway car thief and police killer. With his abrupt remarks and natural charm he seeks every way possible to seduce Patricia Franchini, the American journalism student played by Jean Seberg, to escape to Italy with him.

As perfectly sexy as Belmondo was throughout the film, he wasn’t the only thing keeping my eyes pleasantly glued to the screen. Patricia Franchini’s character had the most impeccable style.

I decided to create my own inspiration board. Patricia Franchini meets 2010.

I found the oversized jaguar shirt at a thrift store in Indiana years ago, and had worn it as a nightie for unfairly hot summer nights sprawled upon the covers. But I decided it was time to let the jag loose and go public. I believe I may have even unleashed a new summer music festival outfit!
