Mad About Mad Men!
With our Mad Men Shopping Party fast approaching, I still haven’t a clue what to wear! Will I be a Joany, a Peggy or a Betty? In an effort to get inspired I’ve gathered a collection of images of the women from the show and figured I’d share…

Fall Transitions
It’s that time of year. Little teases of crisp fall air drift through your window in the morning, only to disperse into a 78 degree afternoon… weekend trips to the orchard where the apples are in the trees but the grass that catches them is still hanging on to yesterday’s weather… All of fall’s pieces are in it’s place, on the tip of this year’s tongue...
Here comes the bride!
Lately, we have had so many brides-to-be coming to us for off-beat style ideas and vintage inspiration. Here are some lovely found images to get your wedding bells ringing:

Fall 2010 Lady-Like Louis Looks
…very vintage inspired. one could certainly pull these very wearable fall looks off at a fraction of the cost!
…for this Louis look, pair a modern tank or halter with a 1950’s full circle skirt and add a cute modern kitten heel or platform and presto!
for this pretty number, take a simple 1950’s day or evening dress (doesn’t have to have a plunging neckline)...
It happens to us all...
Last week, our air conditioning at the store wasn’t quite up to par and I do believe it was official then that I am done with summer! I am sure that many of you can agree. I am now daydreaming of that crisp air that creeps through your window in the soft orange glow of an autumn morning…and the need for a comforting sweater on your shoulders toward the end of a day. Here are just a few...

Style Inspiration
Ok, so apparently I have a little internet crush on The Sartorialist, a fantastic blog that catches images of stylish and interesting women and men across the globe. The blog dates back to 2005, which means many more years of style inspiring experience than most style bloggers on the net today. My faves to date:

Fall Inspiration
I know, I know. We still have a looong way to go before we even want to say the word “layer”, but today as I sit here with a massive sunburn and looking like a shiny tomato I can’t help but wish it was a little cooler outside and it was time for hats and stockings and all things fuzzy. Hey, this is what being a New Englander is about…looking ahead to the next season, right?...

Bejewelled, Be Done
Lately, I have been more inspired by a clean, solid clothing canvas paired with stand out accessories. If you’re feeling a little blah with your wardrobe, instead of cramming your closet with more of the similarly styled pieces you gravitate towards, invest in some fun jewelry to jazz up your basics.
Best places to seek out some cool new jewels are second hand and consignment stores, such...
