I had an design assignment for school. I could make what ever I wanted. Inspired by Mad Man I came up with a photo shoot in the style of the 60’s with products from this time.

Update: These are the original photo’s pre photoshop. I realy like to photoshop.and this took me a couple of days. (Macbook couldn’t handle the pressure)

I also did the styling and set styling. My friend who is an amazing photographer  made the photo’s

Oh and I got an 8 out of 10 for this… I wanted to slap the teacher 

Found this beauty this past Spring while on one of my many treasure hunting excursions. According to camerapedia.wiki.com, the SX-70 was the first instant SLR ever. Produced in 1972. Revolutionary. I haven’t figured out whether it works yet. Let’s see if I can find film for this thing. Wish me luck!

Classic Dooney and Bourke Doctor Bag. This was my first. I’ve started a small collection of these.

Picked up this charming little bracelet at Polly Sue’s in Takoma Park, MD. These are real coins from the 1950s. Currently, one of my items to wear.

Top: White and Blue Oleg Cassini Blouse
Handbag: Green Dooney & Bourke Doctor Bag w/lock
Belt: Burgundy Cache Snakeskin

Planet Maud Vintage & Co. Style Challenge: At least one vintage item of clothing a day for the month of September (handbags and jewelry don’t count alone).

If you already do this, then it’s not so much of a challenge. To me, it will be because I tend to function more as a collector. I find great stuff, buy it and then it sits in my closet until a “special occasion” comes along. No more lazy vintage loving for me. Please feel free to Join in the fun and post links. Enjoy!

Fenton Street Market. Photo credit: Dual Vizion Photography

This past Saturday I had the pleasure of being a vendor at the Fenton Street Market in downtown Silver Spring, MD. This was my first outdoor market experience and it was definitely a good one to learn from. Luckily, my family stepped in and helped me setup and stayed to help with the patronage. Lawd knows I had could not have done this alone. The markets are definitely a lot of work. Much like the trunk shows except, on a hot day outside can be, well … hot. A few of my lovely friends stopped by to help (yay!). They all walked away pretty pleased. It was a great experience and I look forward to my upcoming spots at Fenton Street: August 27 (still pending) and October 1 for Aunt Maude’s Vintage Roadshow. Definitely stay tuned.

I am the Black Gold of the Sun. Yes indeed.

Was leafing through some old Ebony magazines yesterday. Which, I have to say, the small collection that I received was indeed a come-up. Anyway, saw this ad and had to post. By-the-way, it was an ad for what’s in the glasses, not and ad for the denim jumpsuits. More flyness to come.
