Autumn Staples

here are a few of my vintage finds that i think could be staples for your fall wardrobe.

1. 70's Brown Ethnic Cardigan Sweater

buy it here...
perfect to wear over a t-shirt or tank! during the warm days of fall you can keep it stashed in your awesome bag with all of your other belongings for when the temperature drops in the slightly chilly evenings. what bag am i talking about? read on.....2. here's the bag from my shop on etsy! the most perfect rich cranberry wine-colored messenger that will hold ALL the things you need for a day out and about.

3. who doesn't love these Vintage Leather Boots in Espresso

buy them here...

4. to complete the ensemble we have super cute skinny jeans- don't you want to show off your awesome boots? really, you can find them anywhere. i like the medium-dark wash the best. new jeans are ALWAYS a staple when gearing up for fall!

hope you all are as excited for autumn as i am, hot apple cider here i come:)
keep your eyes peeled for another shop update later this week with lots of messengers and really cool stacking trunks.
xo friends,

Back to SKOOLERS

are you ready? it's coming...... that's right- SCHOOL! then onto AUTUMN, pumpkins, leaves changing colors, apples and cider. can you tell it's my favorite time of the year?!

the shop is getting a TOTAL makeover. it's been in desperate need for quite some time. here's a preview of what we've been working on......

some new bags, new product shots, new outfits, new feeling!

i am in love with the way this sweater shoots!
suspenders, adorable mini skirt and tights? CHECK!

a little something new..... won't be doing much of it because it's quite time consuming but i had such fun stitching her up!

the military teacher just flipped out!

thanks so much for checking out the newness. i plan on adding lots of fun new designs to the shop over the next few weeks. i am also entertaining the thought of taking more custom orders, which will require more time but will also force this brain of mine to get more artistically challenged:)

love, rachel

pink red pretty happy!

oops! i missed sunday. i was a busy kid yesterday. i was also doing some serious relaxing due to the cloudy, rainy weather. i LOVED it because this poor florida foiliage is quite desperate for the water plus it put me in just the right mood: a balance of artistic inspiration and laziness:)

i told you i would share the treasures i picked up on saturday while i was running around but the one find that takes the CAKE and is going to be used for my fall photos is this old skool vintage rugby cardigan sweater with stripes and front pockets. it was a QUARTER! and look at all that pretty luggage sitting there waiting patiently to be upcycled. love this color mix!

now, onto the goodies from the first photo. red and pink galore with SUCH cute designs i can barely stand it!

1. LOL Pillow Cover $15

2. Handmade coin purse- The Cookies $18

3. The Owls handmade coin purse $18

4. Vintage Retro Red fashion purse $15

(#2 & 3 are from the same shop because they were both so fun and i couldn't choose between them. #4 is the BEST shade of red and i would LOVE to upcycle/personalize that for myself or someone else)

lots of shooting & drawing going on in my little office
hope everyone is having a happy monday.

xo, rachel
