into this world we're thrown

2012-02-20T13:53:00.001-08:00

Girl ya gotta love your man

Take him by the hand

Make him understand

The world on you depends

Our life will never end

Gotta love your man, yeah

Yeah!

Riders on the storm

Into this house we're born

Into this world we're thrown

Like a dog without a bone

An actor out alone

Riders on the storm

There has been a lot going on in our lives and household lately. My man and I have both been faced with challenges in our careers and professional lives. With many obstacles in front of us, we continue to weather the storm and ride it out together.

The winds of change are in the air....

On this Thanksgiving Eve I would like to take a moment to share a few things for which I am truly truly thankful...
-All of my amazing customers who sometimes just pop into the store to say hi
-Getting to be surrounded by tons of beautiful and fun vintage pieces every day
-Terri, who is hands-down the most selfless, helpful, thoughtful mom around. I don't know what the store or I would do without her
-Having the priveledge to come home every night to a wonderful handsome man who takes such good care of me and our family
-Jenna, Kevin, Mary, Liz, Daniel, Jarrett, Tiffany and Becky...some of the best friends (and cousin) a girl could have
-Snuggling with the two best dogs ever - Jackson, with his wiggly butt, and Micah with her stinky attitude never fail to make me laugh. There's nothing like the unconditional love of a dog.
-My new tea kettle that whistles for me every morning
-The abundance of personal fashion blogs out there that occupy way too much of my time but always keep me inspired
-My hat collection - if you follow this blog then you know how I feel about hats
-To be celebrating my 29th birthday next week! Ready to enjoy the last year of my 20s and looking forward to what the next decade will bring...
And what are you thankful for?!
Wishing everyone a safe and wonderful holiday filled with lots of good food, friends and family.

I know its been awhile and Im sorry for that. Life has been really busy and lots of working without time off so I was kind of rundown and uninspired. But I feel like Ive got my mojo back. Not the best picture, but trying out my new fancy phone! I finally gave in and joined the age of technology.

details details

plaids and tassels

As much as I love my store there are certain days when I'd so much rather be living life outside instead of working. Today is one of those days. So before heading into the store, I made sure to spend a moment standing outside breathing in the sunshine. Its amazing what a little dose of Vitamin D and Mother Nature can do for the soul. Ah, fall, how you make me smile :)

Loving the subtle plaid and cropped leg of my thrifted pants and how perfectly paired they are with my new shoes. Another pair I picked up from DSW last week. The neutral color is perfect, but it was the thick heel and tassels that really sold me on them. Not to mention how comfortable they are!

Wearing thrifted JCrew pants, vintage blouse, faux fur vest and necklace from tag*, thrifted hat and belt, random ring, favorite gold watch and DSW shoes.

oh the boots

2011-10-14T09:58:00.000-07:00

Today's outfit all started with the the boots...oh the boots (sigh). I'm in love with these leopard booties I picked up last week from DSW. The print, the zipper, the heel - its all perfect! They will go with so many different outfits and I plan on styling them a million different ways, but today I went with a 60s rock 'n roll vibe. Dug around in my closet room (a post regarding said room is coming soon!) and came up with round mirrored glasses, tie-dye, pleather and fur to complete the look - and I'm diggin' it!

Wearing thrifted fur vest, vintage DIY tie-dye duster vest and sunglasses from tag*, F21 tank and leggings, DIY leather choker, and cuff bracelet from Andrea's Boutique.

I can't get enough of hats lately! I was looking back through some of my recent outfit posts and noticed I've been rocking hats A LOT. Not that I am surprised, we all know I love a good hat! Plus, they are simply the best answer to a bad hair day.

Happy Thursday!
Friday's just around the corner...

how sick is that wallpaper??

2011-10-12T12:04:00.000-07:00

Kevin and I spent last night talking, munching, smoking, sipping, watching, and catching up. The perfect evening!
How sick is that wallpaper behind me in the first photo?! My hat totally matches it too! These pictures were taken at Kev's new place and I'm obsessed with that wall. And I can't wait to see how Kevin's bedroom turns out. His inspiration is Jeannie's room at the bottom of her bottle from the old 'I Dream of Jeannie' tv show. Its going to be awesome.

she'd tell me stories

2011-10-09T10:45:00.000-07:00

I drive by this little cemetary every night on my way home and I've always thought it would be a great spot for a blog picture. With the sun shining and the leaves turning, it seemed as though there was no day but today.

I'm not a person who finds cemetaries scary. My grandma used to take me to the cemetary in Palmyra, Missouri where a lot of our family is buried. We'd spend warm summer afternoons laying on the ground doing grave rubbings with paper and charcoal. She'd tell me stories and reminisce about her childhood. She used to drive me around the small towns where she grew up - we'd pull off the side of the road, set up lawn chairs, sketch pictures of old rundown barns...and she'd tell me stories. We'd spend lazy summer mornings on her front porch sifting through boxes of old black and white photographs. The porch swing would gently glide us back and forth as she sipped her coffee and I drank my orange juice with their pet dove, Noah, cooing away in the background. I'd snuggle up to her and listen as she told me stories. Now that I think about it, MaBelle spent a lot of time teaching me about where I come from and the importance of family. It is something that I value and cherish all these years later. So, every night on my way home, as I follow the curve in the road that leads by this small cemetary dating back to 1877, I'm not scared or supersticious, instead I smile and remember stories.

I wanted to embrace the month of October and the season of fall, but with temperatures still climbing into the upper 80s it proved to be a bit of a challenge. This dress, however, turned out to be the perfect piece for a day like today. The color screams fall and even though it covers from neck to toe, its still sexy with the way the it cuts up to the neck to show off my shoulders. Plus you can't go wrong with the ascot neckline, so very 70s.

Wearing vintage dress from tag*, Walmart hoops, Payless sandals, thrifted cuff bracelet and parasol, and vintage shawl from Night and Day Vintage in Chicago.

Total cost of outfit: about $65

Was feeling a little rock n' roll today - and then had to throw in some 90s for good measure :)

Zoomin' in...

I know what you're thinking...

"Finally, a picture from somewhere other than in front of the store!"

Well, at least that's what I'm thinking :)

We've been so busy over the past few months, I've had a hard time getting it together in the mornings with time to spare for a picture anywhere but at the store. But I miss fun backdrops for my blog pics, so I'm trying to get back on the horse!

Here I am yesterday posing in an ally off Delmar wearing my mom's fabulous gold skirt from the 80s! This is my disco glamour safari look - Who says sparkle is only for the nighttime?!

because you can't go wrong with a maxi skirt and a kickass hat

2011-09-28T10:48:00.000-07:00

As you know, I love love love long dresses. Well, I realized I love love love long skirts just as much, but don't have nearly as many in my closet as I should. So when I came across this little cutie on the clearance rack at Marshalls I had to snatch it up!

I spent yesterday morning and early afternoon running errands all over town and then headed into the store to work the rest of the day, so I needed an outfit that would be comfortable but still fashionable. Decided this was the perfect opportunity to break out my new skirt, because you can't go wrong with a maxi skirt and a kickass hat. And can we talk about this hat for a sec...I know I've featured it here before, but I just have to mention how awesome it is again. I scored it at Goodwill for 3 bucks and it is already proven itself to be my go-to hat for the season.

Wearing skirt from Marshalls, Target tee and sandals, thrifted vintage hat and bracelets, and favorite Aldo purse (I'm going to have to retire it for the season here pretty soon and will need a new awesome bag for fall and winter....perhaps I should go check out Aldo again!)

Total cost of outfit: about $75

Today is my last day working the store for the week, as my man and I are heading to Kansas City tomorrow for his brother's wedding!! I am so excited and beyond thrilled for the bride and groom! We couldn't ask for a better woman to marry his little brother! Congratulations Justin and Ashley!!!

Let the festivities begin....

Both the weather and my wardrobe are transitioning into fall...and I'm loving it! While I love summer - my favorite time of year is September through January and that time is upon us once again :)

The best way to transition into fall - trade sandals for boots and straw fedoras for pageboy caps.

Done.

amazing shawl

2011-09-10T09:55:00.000-07:00

I found this amazing shawl at Night and Day Vintage, a wonderful vintage shop stocked full of so many great pieces and owned by the loveliest woman. I had so much fun shopping her store and talking with her about our love of vintage :) This shawl is one of 4 amazing purchases, can't wait to show off the rest! I almost didn't get it because I wasn't sure I would use it, but it has already proven to be a new favorite piece. Love it!

I think I also need to take a moment to talk about my $3 Goodwill hat find! It is definitely my new favorite hat for fall - and has reminded me of my love of hats.

Little Gem

2011-09-08T16:48:00.000-07:00

A closer look...

I scored this little gem on a trip to the Goodwill Outlet here in downtown STL. A trip there requires time, patience, digging, and hand sanitizer - but when you find beauties like this, its totally worth it! Especially when it cost under $1. Just needed an overnight soak in oxyclean and it was ready to be on display!

one skirt, two ways...

2011-08-17T10:44:00.000-07:00

I have this habit of wearing skirts as dresses so I decided to do a quick post showing how I rocked one skirt as a skirt, and then the next day as a dress.

Above I'm wearing a thrifted vintage skirt, Kohls tank, old random studded belt, random bracelets, vintage ring and Target wedges.

Total cost of outfit: about $35

And for a totally different look with the same skirt...

And again, wearing thrifted vintage skirt (as a dress), vintage necklaces from tag*, F21 bag, and my awesome new shoe/boot/wedge hybrids. (My man makes fun of them and calls them my "ski boots" - but what does he know?! I heart them so much!)

Total cost of outfit: about $125

*tag - Timeless Authentic Garments - my vintage shop in The Loop, University City, Missouri

So,now I challenge you to wear a skirt as a dress, or to shop your closet and find different ways to wear pieces you love. Its budget-friendly and forces you to be a little creative. As far as I'm concerned, there are no rules when it comes to fashion and your personal style, so have some fun with it!

Happy Wednesday!

go figure

2011-08-16T15:14:00.000-07:00

Sorry for my lack of posts yet again! I promise it won't continue this way forever, life this summer just happens to be insanely busy! Not that I'm complaining, because its been a seriously awesome past few months. A few of the things that have kept me busy....

-A trip to Chicago with my mom and Grandma in June to attend a wedding shower thrown for my brother's (then) fiance, Megan

-A few Cardinals games with my man (A St. Louis must for every summer!)

-Hosted a St. Louis shower at our house for Megan

-The U2 concert at Busch Stadium with my man (freakin' awesome!!)

-Another trip to Chicago at the beginning of August to see Paul McCartney at Wrigley Field with my brother (also freakin' awesome!) - plus I managed to see one of my very best friends, Mary, and squeeze in a little vintage shopping :)

-And one more trip to Chicago this past weekend for my brother's wedding! Ryan and I also went up a day early to see some of our favorite people, Lisa and Chris!

Needless to say, its been a bit hectic and I have sucked at taking outfit pictures as often as I should have. But I do have a few saved up on my camera, and am getting back into the swing of things so hopefully my posts won't be so few and far between.

Anyway...

Here I am wearing one of my favorite dresses. Go figure, right? Bright, bold, colorful, and crazy print...duh! Oh, and I forgot to take a picture of the back, but its a seriously cool razor-back. Like, I said, one of my favorites!

a constant image of inspiration

2011-07-27T10:17:00.000-07:00

I've mentioned this before, but in case you didn't know, I have a thing for butterflies. Pretty much always have. In the church where I grew up, butterflies represented "new life" and I find that really lovely. I love that they start out as caterpillers and transform into beautiful winged creatures. To me, they are a reminder that we are always able to transform ourselves, strive to do better, be better, become a more beautiful version of ourselves. My first tattoo was a butterfly, as was my second and my third, which you've maybe noticed is on the inside of my right wrist, a constant image of inspiration.

That said, I don't wear a lot of butterlies. I am very choosey when it comes to adding butterfly pieces to my wardrobe. But this dress was an absolute must-have! How did I not already own a purple vintage one-shouldered, butterfly print maxi dress??

Love. It.

The owner, Andrea D'Angelo is simply adorable and has great taste! Her store is full of all kinds of treasures, a few of which just had to come home with me :) You can check her out on Facebook here, or better yet just head to Florissant and do some shopping in her store!

think it might just be a new favorite

2011-06-08T14:56:00.000-07:00

Debuting one of my new vintage dresses and think it just might be a new favorite!

And speaking of new favorites, I'm having a love affair with these golden espadrilles. They're not new though, I've had them for years and never really wore them, but I will be making up for lost time this summer! I actually bought them back when Jenna and I were living in our Soulard apartment together...ah, good times.

Wearing vintage dress from tag*, Victoria's Secret espadrille wedges, old favorite shell necklace and trusty Aldo purse

Its an outfit made up of favorites! My favorite aviators, my favorite necklace for summertime, my new favorite vintage disco dress, old espadrilles that have become a new favorite, and the purse that I love from Aldo...fun!

Happy Wednesday!

scarves in the summertime

2011-06-07T10:47:00.000-07:00

Spent Sunday morning running around with my mom, working on the shower we're throwing for my soon to be sister-in-law. My mom and I have been having a blast with all the party planning :)
Wanted to be comfortable for a day of errands so, of course, went with a long vintage dress. And I love love love head scarves in the summertime. Simple, pretty, and keeps the hair off my face. And I can't rock a head scarf without big hoop earrings.

rocked the high pony

2011-06-06T11:54:00.000-07:00

This outfit actually started with the earrings - which unfortunately you can't see in this picture and I didn't think to have Mom snap a closeup...so I will just have to wear them again sometime soon ;) - The earrings are huge silver circles with cutouts...so awesome! I rocked the high pony to showcase them and paired the look with my new thrifted romper.

Spent this past Saturday hanging at my parent's house with them, my brother and his fiance, and my grandparents. Always nice to have the chance to enjoy some quality family time! And, we did a lot of wedding planning for my brother's wedding!! Can't believe my baby bro is gettin' hitched this summer! I'm so excited for him, and he couldn't have found a better partner. Megan is simply the most lovely girl ever, and the perfect yang to his yin :)

hanging in the yard

2011-05-16T12:33:00.000-07:00

Hanging in the backyard last Thursday with my man and our pups before heading out for a little dinner date night.

I know you all recognize our little black pup, Micah. Now allow me to introduce the newest addition to our family, Jackson the Boxer! We adopted him a couple of months ago from a wonderful local rescue organization, 4 Paws 4 Rescue. He was found starving to death in rural Missouri, someone had taken him out there and dumped him. It brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it. But, he's doing wonderful now that he's with us! Jackson (aka Buddy or The Dude, as we like to call him) is about a year old, and simply the cutest, goofiest boy ever! And, yes, him and Micah love each other and play constantly! We couldn't have asked for 2 better dogs :)

So excited for this week! Going to see Warren Haynes with Jen tomorrow night at The Pageant (he is my absolute favorite musician and I've never seen him live before!), having another of our infamous slumber parties with Kev on Wednesday, and going to see a friend perform with my girl Tiffany on Thursday. Then...my awesome cousin (one of my favorite people in the entire world, who never ceases to make me laugh so hard it hurts) is coming in town with her daughter for the weekend! I'm only working a halfday on Saturday and spending the rest of it with my family hanging out down here in The Loop. Heading out with my man and our group of friends Saturday night to celebrate our girl Carmen's birthday. And, last but most certainly not least, going to the winery Sunday to see Jake's Leg with my man and our parents! Best. Week. Ever!!!

Wishing you all a wonderful week, too!!

two of my favorite ladies around

2011-05-14T13:14:00.000-07:00

My Mom, Grandma and myself celebrating Mother's Day 2011! Not really an outfit post, but couldn't help sharing this picture of two of my favorite ladies around!

We had a wonderful lunch at my parent's house and then my man and I headed over to his parent's for dinner and to celebrate his Mom, Diane, who is an equally fabulous Mom. It was a beautiful day full of moms, family, love and laughter :)

However...tomorrow is the real Mother's Day celebration for my mom and I. Brunch, vintage shopping, Goodwill Outlet store digging, and then maybe a movie. Can't wait!

Happy Saturday!

xoxo - Laney Mae

so long

2011-05-13T14:59:00.000-07:00

Jenna and Clarice (Jen's mom) surprised me down here at the store a couple of weeks ago and it was just what I needed to make my day :)

It worked out well that my mom was here too, because it gave me the opportunity to walk and shop with them a bit while they were down here. Jenna bought me this awesome vintage skirt and a scarf while we were shopping...she's the best best friend ever!

Anyway, Kev spent the night the other day and he styled this outfit for me! Love it!! The cut of this skirt is simply perfect, its flows so beautifully! And, I rarely find a long skirt that is so long I get to wear heels with it...or wedges in this case. Usually they're just too darn short, but not this one!

Wearing thrifted vintage skirt, old random tank, thrifted vintage belt and purse, Walmart hat and hoops (scored the hat a few years ago for 5 bucks and I get the most compliments on it!), and Target wedges.

Speaking of Jenna....I can't wait for tomorrow night! My man and I are meeting up with her and her husband, Lance, to see a local Widespread Panic cover band. I am super stoked to get my hippie dance on with my favorite girl!!

Happy Friday!

determined to make it work

2011-05-12T09:53:00.000-07:00

This top came into the shop awhile ago and I absolutely loved the print, but kind of hated the fit. I was determined to make it work though, so went ahead and just cut it right down the middle which turned it into this cute little vest top. And now its perfect!

I layered it over my vintage sheer bandage dress from tag*, thrifted belt, etsy feather earring and Target wedges.

playing dress up

2011-05-11T11:31:00.000-07:00

I've been having a lot of fun playing dress up lately! I've been kind of experimenting with my style and have definitely been having a love affair with color, prints and accessories. I think my outfits reflect the fun I've been having getting dressed in the morning. I especially love this look, the colors and cut of this vintage blouse are fantastic and I always love rocking a great hat.

Goodwill just opened an outlet store downtown which sells items by the pound!! I am seriously stoked about this! There is one down in Greenville, where Jenna used to live, and we went while I was in town visiting her last May. There were long troughs filled with belts and purses...amazing. That's where I picked up my crocodile buckle leather belt that's been featured on here numerous times. My mom and I are celebrating our Mother's Day this coming Sunday with a movie, brunch, and a trip to the Goodwill Outlet store!! Seriously. cant. wait.

Hope everyone's having a wonderful week!

Playing Catch-Up

2011-05-10T12:35:00.000-07:00

Still trying to play catch-up here at the store. Posting another outfit from awhile back...April 29th to be exact.

I'm really loving 70s sportswear for this season and this vintage dress is a new piece I just added to my closet for that exact reason. I love the nude color, detailed shoulders, wide collar, tie waist, and pockets. Perfect. I've also been living in wedges for the past month. I have three pairs; the turquoise pair featured in this post, the hot pink pair, and the yellow wedges. They're amazingly comfortable for someone who has to be on her feet all day every day, and those three colors just happen to go with everything in my closet. I didn't realize it when I purchased them, but am finding it to be more and more true with each new outfit I put together. Love it!

Shorts

2011-05-07T18:52:00.000-07:00

So I found these red shorts at Walmart for 10 bucks and I love them! I've been struggling with wearing shorts lately because they're either way too short for my personal taste, or they're bermudas, which is just not what I want. These fit great and I love the length...not too long and not too short. I love a good bargain, and I'm no clothing snob - I will buy something anywhere, as long as I love it I don't care where its from.

Loving the red and turquoise together. And can't get enough of my yellow wedges from Target - Amazingly comfortable and they go with everything, I had no idea when I bought them that this would be the case, but its true!

Wearing Walmart shorts and lace-trim sports bra, vintage blouse, necklaces and bracelets from tag*, old random belt, Target shoes, and favorite Aldo purse.

Its been a crazy busy long day here at the store. I'm exhausted, but it was fun! Lots of fun customers and new friends, tons of awesome merchandise out on the floor, lots of projects to keep me busy as well...I was determined to get as caught up around the shop as I could. We've arranged, added loads of awesome new pieces, and are stocked with more merchandise than ever! Its exciting! I will post pics next week.

And tomorrow I get to spend the day with the most kickass Mom around! I literally don't know what I (or the store) would do without her. She is amazing and sets the bar high!

Love you, Mom!

Happy Mother's Day to all you hard-working wonderful ladies out there!

PINK!

2011-05-05T12:52:00.000-07:00

Its all about the accessories and shoes...

Another outfit from awhile back...

Its official, I'm in love with my pink wedges from Target! I purchased them online (because the pink color wasn't available in stores) but they were on backorder for almost 2 months. They finally arrived a couple of weeks ago and they're awesome! I had no idea how much I would wear them, but they seriously go with so much more stuff than I thought. Plus, they're super comfortable (which is a must for me since I'm on my feet all day every day) and its just not possible to be in a bad mood when you look down and see these bad boys on your feet. They always make me smile :) Funny side note...I'm wearing them right now while typing this post. Seriously...they go with everything!

Wearing F21 liquid leggings, thrifted animal print tunic, thrifted vintage belt, random cuff bracelets and necklace, and pink wedges from Target

Can't believe its already Thursday....or May for that matter! Got a fun few days ahead of me. Kevin's coming over tonight for a little Sex and The City slumber party, my mom is with me at the shop tomorrow and Friday's are always fun and busy down here! Going to see the Jake's Leg tomorrow night and then lots and lots of family stuff on Sunday!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful week!

I have been taking pictures of my outfits, just haven't had the time to post them. Here's some pics from a couple weeks ago. I'm so in love with the print on this jacket! It is from the shop and sat on the rack for entirely too long...so, I finally gave in and now it lives in my closet :)

I'm not the man they think I am at home

Oh no no no I'm a rocket man

What is it that I've said about bright colors and prints??? Oh, yeah, that I LOVE them!! And just to prove it, rocking yet another one of my crazy vintage outfits :)

I picked up this awesome crochet tank on my recent trip down the street to Avalon. So in love with the pattern and colors!

Back in action after being out of town this weekend. My man and I headed to Hermann, Missouri to help two of my old friends celebrate their wedding...and, oh my gosh, was it a blast! Jenny and Tim (the newlyweds) started their courtship way back during our sophomore year in high school, so it was so much fun to see them standing at the front of the church exchanging wedding vows after all these years! A weekend filled with old friends, booze, dancing, and lots of love and laughter! Doesn't get much better than that :)

Mom picked me up this morning and we headed to the park for a few quick pics. Its FINALLY starting to feel like spring here in the STL, so I had to dress accordingly! And what says spring more than a vintage shirt with big yellow flowers splashed across it?!

crazy hectic

2011-03-28T11:42:00.000-07:00

Sorry I've been so bad about posting outfits lately! Life has been crazy hectic...my man has been working nights which completely changes our entire home life and schedules, we've been super busy here at the shop (yay!), the weather has been 80 degrees one day and then subzero temps and snow storms the next, we just entered wedding season and have lots of friends getting married over the next few weekends, and on top of all that...we just adopted a second dog! You all have seen our little stinker, Micah, because she's snuck into more than a few pics posted here on the blog...well she now has a brother! Jackson, the cutest most awesome boxer pup ever! Needless to say, life's been a little crazy these days. Not that I'm complaining :)

Anway, moving on...

I picked Kev up last Wednesday night for another of our Ugly Betty slumber parties, but made him snap a quick pic of me in the alley behind his house first. I just HAD to show off my new purse! Jenna and I went shopping the night before and I snagged this bad boy from Aldo for my new purse of the season. It is so perfect; the colors, the print, the long strap to go across the body, the shorter braided strap to throw over your shoulder, and the fact that both straps are detachable so I can rock it as an oversized clutch. Swoon! Jenna picked herself up a great new purse from Aldo, as well. Not only did we both purchase fabulous new bags, but we also had entirely too much fun shopping and laughing together! Its just so good to have her back home in the STL!

stripes, ponchos, and bells

2011-03-17T13:22:00.000-07:00

I love random and unique vintage pieces, and this scarf poncho is the perfect example of such a piece. I orginally put on my super high waisted green pants in celebration of St. Patty's Day, but then couldn't find anything to pair them with. So, off came the pants and on went the poncho....which does have some green in it so no pinching!
We are enjoying a beautiful day here in St. Louis! It rained and snowed something nasty on Monday, so Mother Nature decided to throw us a bone today with sunny skies and temps climbing into the uppr 70s. I love seeing all of the people out and about enjoying the weather. Sunshine always brings out the best in people, as we've had tons of great customers today! So loving it.

I apologize for the lack of posts latey. The store has been keeping me super busy and I just have not had the time to snap many pictures! Which has been a bummer because there have definitely been some looks I have wanted to share.

I was at least able to capture a couple of outfits I've worn during my absense so here's a quick peek at them...

In the first picture:

Wearing vintage dress and necklace from tag* and favorite wedge boots

Total cost of outfit: about $95

In the second picture:

Wearing H&M skinny jeans, old Abercrombie tee, thrifted blazer, vintage necklaces from tag* and F21 Mary Janes

Total cost of outfit: about $80

I can't believe its already Friday again...or the middle of March, for that matter! Where oh where does the time go??

Happy Friday! Happy Weekend!

unexpected

2011-02-24T11:38:00.000-08:00

Went for some color to brighten up this rainy Thursday. I love unexpected color combinations, and have rocked the purple/green combo before...but never quite as loud as today. I added a little bit of leopard print and some bling to complete the craziness. Its bright, its bold, its fun!

Wearing vintage pants and blouse from tag*, F21 leopard strappy sandals, Target socks, and thrifted vintage belt. Topped the look off with some vintage necklaces and bracelets, also from tag*.

Total cost of outfit: about $50

desperately longing....

2011-02-23T10:26:00.000-08:00

I apologize for the lack of posts lately. Life at the store was super busy over the weekend (yay!), and then I wasn't feeling well earlier this week. But, my mom (being the awesome mom that she is!) worked the store for me yesterday so I could go home and get some much needed rest. And rest I did! What a pleasure it was to wake up this morning feeling rested and happy.
I've been dying to wear my long summer dresses again, so this morning I decided to put one on and layer it up for the chilly weather. While this will do for now, I'm still desperately longing for the days when I can shed the layers, trade the boots for sandals, and bask in the warmth of springtime...

Wearing F21 maxi dress, thrifted denim western, vintage belt, bracelets and necklace from tag*, etsy feather earring and Payless boots. Threw on my vintage faux fur vest on the way out the door for additional warmth.

Total cost of outfit: about $35

sunshine daydream

2011-02-17T14:11:00.000-08:00

Sunshine, daydream, walking in the tall trees,

Going where the wind goes, Blooming like a red rose,

Now come on over sweetly,

Ride out singin', "I got you in the morning sunshine."

Sunshine, daydream, Now come on over daydream

Sunshine, daydream, Hey come on, Never gonna sweet dream

Sunshine, daydream, Wading in a cold stream.

-Grateful Dead

The weather here is gorgeous! Its been warming up over the past few days and today its sunny with temperatures in the 70s. Simply lovely! Decided I wanted to wear something colorful and comfortable. This little vintage kimono dress is perfect. The material is lightweight and cool, the print is awesome, its roomy and has pockets! Went with a bare leg today and paired it with little Payless booties. (Definitely felt weird getting ready this morning and NOT putting on tights or leggings!)

Wearing vintage dress from tag*, Payless booties, F21 ring and Target earrings.

Total cost of outfit: about $45

wednesday

2011-02-16T11:27:00.000-08:00

This crazy print shirtdress came in a huge lot of dresses we recently got in at the shop. The buttons were missing and the size was way too big for me but I loved the print and colors so I bought it anyway, knowing I would figure out a way to rock it. I decided the best way was to wear it open like a jacket.

Vintage shirtdress from tag* layered over Walmart leggings, and F21 tank. Topped off the look with F21 hat and jewelry, thrifted fur vest, and favorite slouch boots.

Total cost of outfit: about $120

cute little mini

2011-02-15T11:56:00.000-08:00

A quick outfit post today so I can show off one of my new vintage dresses. We got a delivery of over 100 dresses here at the shop yesterday, and I ended up buying a few for myself. Loving the 60s print and cut to this cute little mini!

can't believe its already friday again...

2011-02-11T11:09:00.000-08:00

I scored this fabulous vintage kimono robe at an estate sale this past summer. And wait for it....it cost 10 cents! It was dirty and needed some serious mending, but who cares?! I took it home, soaked it in some oxyclean, took a needle and thread to it, and it is now one of my favorite vintage pieces.

I love this outfit because its amazingly comfortable and laid back, yet still stylish and chic.

Wearing vintage kimono robe, Walmart leggings and hoops, old F21 tunic, vintage belt and jewelry from tag*, and fav slouch boots.

Total cost of outfit: about $85

I can't believe its already Friday again! I swear, the older I get the faster time just flies by. Lots of stuff to keep me busy here at the shop today and then heading home for a quiet Friday night on the couch with my man and our pup.

Just went for comfy cozy today. With lots to do inside the shop and freezing cold temperatures outside, nothing sounded better than a big chunky sweater.

Wearing F21 sweater I scored on clearance for 6 bucks, Walmart leggings, Target socks, gifted vintage boots, and estate sale ring.

Babydoll

2011-02-08T13:31:00.000-08:00

Note to self: Next time think twice about wearing a lightweight flowy babydoll dress on a windy day.

When the wind kicks up...so does the dress! Might have shown my backside to a few people in the parking lot at my bank this morning...oops!

I love this dress though! Picked it up on one of my recent trips to some local thrift stores. Its very 90s! I love the cut, the colors, the different prints...its just fun! Very Laney - comfortable, colorful, and a little crazy :)

I will definitely be wearing it this spring and summer paired with cowboy boots, flat sandals, and wedges. But I couldn't wait until the change of the seasons, so to winterize it a bit I added tights, high boots and my navy motorcycle jacket. I like the contrast of the tough jacket and boots against the bright colors and flowy material of the dress.

Wearing thrifted babydoll dress,F21 motorcycle jacket, Bakers boots, Target earrings, and estate sale ring.

Total cost of outfit: about $180

Jenna is coming over tonight for a little girls night! She got married about a year and a half ago, but her and her husband are finally getting the chance to go on their honeymoon! They are heading to Jamaica at the end of the month, and I'm so excited for them! They need (and deserve) a vacation! And they get to get out of this blistering cold to go bathe in the warmth of the tropics. (ok, maybe I'm a little jealous too)

Anyway, she's coming over tonight to play in my closet and see what kind of awesome outfits we can pick out for her to wear while honeymoonin'! Dinner and maybe even a little wine might be involved too.

Happy Tuesday!

Leggings and Boots

2011-02-07T13:29:00.000-08:00

Another winter day...another outfit of leggings and boots.

One of my favorite customers of all time (who has also become a good friend) stopped by the shop this afternoon, which of course made my day! Whitney is the coolest and has the best style! I love when she comes in, not only does she always buy the best pieces, but she also stays for a long chat :) We were talking about how we're so sick of the cold weather and are ready for spring. We laughed as we discussed being tired of wearing leggings and boots....while we were both wearing leggings and boots. Too funny!

Wearing thrifted striped tee, thrifted vintage vest (one of my favorite new pieces!!), Walmart leggings and hoops, favorite gold watch and slouch boots.

Mom showed up at the shop in her awesome vintage turtle belt today, which is funny because I was wearing my awesome vintage zebra belt. Guess great minds think alike...and have a thing for all animal accesories!

Curls, zebras, tights, and a pair of Mary Janes...

Challenging myself to rock the natural hair until the last weekend in March. Its time I stopped putting so much heat to my poor damaged hair if I ever want it to grow...and maybe its time to embrace what the good Lord gave. But, man, its tough! Girls with curls always want straight, and girls with straight always want curls. The grass is always greener, right?

I've had this hat in my closet for at least 6 months now, but have always hestitated wearing it...until today.

Scored this seriously awesome 70s sweater while thrifting with my mom this past Sunday. Wanted to wear it today, but definitely needed a hat because I was having one of those kinds of bad hair days...came across the floppy hat in my closet and decided it was now or never! And I couldn't resist rocking the same necklace from yesterday. Its kind of awesome.

Wearing thrifted vintage sweater, Walmart leggings, F21 tunic and necklace, Bakers boots, random floppy hat, and ring found at an estate sale.

Maybe tomorrow, the good lord will take you away, yeah

And the wind cries Mary

The names it has blown in the past

And with his crutch, it's old age, and it's wisdom

It whispers no, this will be the last

And the wind cries Mary

One of my very best friends, Mary, called me while in the middle of this little photo shoot. We've been friends since sophomore year in high school and she now lives in Chicago. Life is busy for us both so I love it when we actually catch each other...which explains why I had to pick up!

Friday

2011-01-21T11:55:00.000-08:00

I feel like I've gotten into a bit of an outfit rut lately due to the freezing temps and snow here in St. Louis. Its so easy to live in leggings, boots and layers...but I'm starting to get bored and am officially over winter! Thank goodness I live in a place with seasons, because as soon as one season starts to come to end I am so ready for the new season to begin. I don't think I could ever live somewhere that has consistent weather year round. I love getting excited for a new season, new temperatures, and new outfits. That said, we've still got a few months left of winter, so I mine as well accept that fact and force myself to start putting together cute (but still warm) outfits again.

My outfit today isn't anything spectacular, but like I've said before, you can't ever go wrong in a vintage dress and a great pair of boots. Stylish, comfortable and stress-free!

play the guitar just like ringin a bell

2011-01-19T12:56:00.000-08:00

Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans

Way back up in the woods among the evergreens

There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood

Where lived a country boy named Johnny B Good

Who never ever learned to read or write so well

But he could play the guitar just like ringin a bell

-Chuck Berry

We gave my parents tickets to see Chuck Berry for Christmas and tonight is the night! My mom and I are meeting Ryan and my dad down at Blueberry Hill for dinner and the show after work. Good food, good company, good music and maybe even a little dancing! Can't think of a better way to spend this Wednesday evening. Plus, you gotta give major props to Mr. Chuck Berry, who is still rocking out at the age of 84.

I was planning on taking pictures and posting our outfits from last week's Grace Potter & The Nocturnals show, but apparently the type of camera I have was not allowed in the theater...so unfortunately I don't have any pics me and my ladies, or our fun night out. Total bummer. Therefore, I decided I had to do a fun rockstar inspired outfit for the show tonight.

I found this dress at a local Goodwill for 8 bucks! Can't beat that! I love a great dress for a great price. My mom and I tried to shoot me in a way that showcased both the front and the back. The sheer detail is just so awesome...and y'all know I love anything with a cool back!

Wearing thrifted vintage 80s bandage dress, fav old wedge boots, thrifted double-wrap belt, and feather earring from etsy.

Fantastic

2011-01-14T09:52:00.000-08:00

Its been super cold here this past week and I've had lots of projects to work on around the shop, so my uniform has consisted of leggings boots and flannels...nothing exciting enough to post and nothing I haven't posted before.

Therefore....I was super excited when I saw what Mom was wearing yesterday and just had to share! Doesn't she look fantastic??!

Terri is wearing a vintage Christian Dior skirt, vintage belt and jewelry all from tag*. She topped the look off with her fabulous new jacket from Ann Taylor Loft and her brown boots.

badass

2011-01-06T11:17:00.000-08:00

Another daily outfit post from the store...

I am slowly easing these badass boots into my everyday wardrobe. Are they the most comfortable pair of boots I own? Obviously not. Are they harder to walk in than every other shoe I own? Of course. But they rock and are not nearly as bad as I thought they would be. I can't wear them all day every day, but I can wear them so I just have to chose wisely which days I break them out...oh and always have a pair of backup boots just in case ;-)

Anyway...

Grace Potter and The Nocturnals are coming to The Pageant Theater here in STL next Friday!! Just picked up our tickets this morning! I'm channeling my inner rockstar/hippie chick in preperation for the show. I'm sure this won't be the last time either.

Wearing leggings, Bakers "Faith" boots, vintage top, vest and bracelets, and handmade Native American beaded earrings.

a great vintage dress and a good pair of boots

2011-01-05T11:25:00.000-08:00

Showing off one of my awesome vintage finds from our trip to Chicago back in September. Sometimes the easiest thing to wear is a great vintage dress and a good pair of boots...and I'm wearing both today! I broke out my old fav wedge boots. I hadn't worn them in awhile (as I've been having a bit of a love affair with my knee high brown vintage boots from Jen), and felt the need to show them some love today. Just had to add a belt and a little jewelry and I was done!

2010-12-27T10:13:00.000-08:00

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!! We sure did! But, as always, it went by way too fast and today its back to reality...

I did a photo shoot a few months back for the Bakers Shoes fashion website, Shoeternity.com. Just got the pictures and thought I'd share a few. All of the outfits are from my closet, which of course means a majority of the pieces are either vintage or thrifted.

I'll be back later this week with more daily outfit posts.

2010-12-20T15:56:00.000-08:00

Snapped a quick pic tonight kind of as an afterthought. I didn't really pay much attention when I got ready this morning, just grabbed comfy and warm pieces...but I walked by the full length mirror at the store just now and decided it was post-worthy. Nothing special, just a typical Laney winter outfit....although I did just realize I accessorized with mannequin clips still attached to my vest. Ha! The clips are what I use to fit clothing to the mannequins and I've been busy dressing them today and totally forgot they were still clipped to me! Typical.

Leggings, my trusty vintage boots, Target vest and socks, vintage flannel and jewelry.

Total cost of outfit: about $60

I can't believe its already the week of Christmas! I don't know where December went...it must be with November somewhere because they both got away from me! Cramming all my Christmas preperation into this week, nothing like waiting to the last minute!

I might be cutting it a little close, but its still a wonderful and blessed time of year! I love Christmas :-)
