I guess it's usually canopied in flowers and vines, but in winter the bare stalks look kind of neat! This gorgeous, vintage wrap was the perfect prescription for keeping warm and cozy. I think it may be alpaca, but it's exactly what I've been wanting to add to my closet. It's what to wear when you know you should spend sometime outdoors, but really want to keep that cozied up feeling. While we were on our little walking tour of this villa, a lady told me that she once had a wrap like this in the 70's, but used to belt it around her waist and wear it like an asymmetrical skirt. I just love that idea!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="600" src="http://www.smugmug.com/photos/i-GrFvJ3b/0/L/i-GrFvJ3b-L.jpg" style="text-align: left;" width="432" /></div><br />

I love photographing her because she's always got a lot of interesting details in her outfit, and typically some subtle but amazing vintage. She picked up those one-of-a-kind frames at the Vintage Expo a couple of years back, and had her own prescription placed in. Also, check out that vintage MCM shoulder bag she's carrying! It's a perfect tan color, and ideal for carrying a laptop, too! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="600" src="http://www.smugmug.com/photos/i-ZNJ3qCn/0/L/i-ZNJ3qCn-L.jpg" width="354" /></div>iron orchid vintagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08057715430450566282noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1188982997854132845.post-84190963507201252672012-02-07T08:02:00.026-05:002012-02-07T08:02:00.156-05:00Iron Orchid Boutique Shop Update: Modern Takes on Vintage Shapes<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">A new shop update with pieces that are all current, but with a vintage feel. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://ironorchid.goodsie.com/vera-wang-lavender-label-dress"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://www.smugmug.com/photos/i-fjHDzv6/0/M/i-fjHDzv6-M.jpg" width="266" /></a><a href="http://ironorchid.goodsie.com/vera-wang-lavender-label-dress"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://www.smugmug.com/photos/i-Ln8M8dQ/0/M/i-Ln8M8dQ-M.jpg" width="266" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://ironorchid.goodsie.com/vera-wang-lavender-label-dress">Vera Wang Lavender Label Dress</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://ironorchid.goodsie.com/leopard-print-textured-jacket-by-inc"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://www.smugmug.com/photos/i-D5VNzHz/0/M/i-D5VNzHz-M.jpg" width="266" /></a><a href="http://ironorchid.goodsie.com/leopard-print-textured-jacket-by-inc"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://www.smugmug.com/photos/i-bdd5HFn/0/M/i-bdd5HFn-M.jpg" width="266" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://ironorchid.goodsie.com/leopard-print-textured-jacket-by-inc">I.N.C.

There were a few items that I was particularly attached too, even with their eccentricities. This green hat, for example, was handmade by a family member, and has an abstract parrot sewn to it. At first I thought it was too strange to keep, but the more I played with it the more the shape of the hat began to grow on me. I positively love it now, and couldn't imagine putting it up in the shop. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="600" src="http://www.smugmug.com/photos/i-Q3GTB47/0/L/i-Q3GTB47-L.jpg" width="395" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It seems like there are quite a few discussions on some of the bogs I follow about vintage hats, hatpins, and orienting the direction of one's vintage hat. You might like to check out a week of blog posts dedicated to hat discussions on <a href="http://vixenvintage.blogspot.com/">Vixen Vintage</a>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="600" src="http://www.smugmug.com/photos/i-xDf7dbW/0/L/i-xDf7dbW-L.jpg" width="419" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This fascinator was also handmade. It has a unique figure-eight shape to it, and I spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out how the hat was supposed to sit. I decided to just go with the direction of my bangs, and I think it turned out well. There are a ton of fun things that I could do with this fascinator. I imagine that the next time I wear it out, I'll try to get a neat little back-combed bouffant going behind it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="600" src="http://www.smugmug.com/photos/i-2cBqRXR/0/L/i-2cBqRXR-L.jpg" width="440" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Outfit Details:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Chiffon Blouse: Tracy Reese</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Velvet Vest: Ralph Lauren</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Brooch: Stella and Dot, Gift form Best Friend</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Earrings: Vintage Screwbacks, Family </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Hat: Handmade Vintage, Family</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Fascinator: Handmade Vintage, Family</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I won't complain about the mild weather, though I think it's confusing the heck out of our neighborhood trees. They don't know whether to keep their leaves or drop them!<br />

They're a very loving couple, and so natural together in front of the camera. With Valentine's Day around the corner I thought it might be nice to share some photos of my afternoon with them. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="600" src="http://www.smugmug.com/photos/i-qcbkc3b/0/L/i-qcbkc3b-L.jpg" width="400" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">When I arrived at their home they were both looking quite dapper; Owen had already set the mood with a 50's music station on Pandora, and Mananya was baking up a fresh plate of cookies.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="600" src="http://www.smugmug.com/photos/i-bFRxnqk/0/L/i-bFRxnqk-L.jpg" width="453" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">Mananya, who's been my friend since we were in high school, has always been fashion forward, but I think she pulled off 'retro' seamlessly in this vintage dress. She has the most beautiful smile! </span><span style="text-align: left;">Did I mention that she also prepared a roast?</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="600" src="http://www.smugmug.com/photos/i-9fsXpmh/0/L/i-9fsXpmh-L.jpg" width="402" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">Owen is naturally dashing, himself. Needless to say, no one had to help him pick out an ensemble. I love his attention to detail (ahem...pocket square!). </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="600" src="http://www.smugmug.com/photos/i-n6MCQMR/0/L/i-n6MCQMR-L.jpg" width="417" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="600" src="http://www.smugmug.com/photos/i-dD8zHTT/0/L/i-dD8zHTT-L.jpg" width="465" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It's always a pleasure for me to photograph my friends, but I had a ton of fun playing with the color effects, too.

It's the one that's loosely based on the life of Dylan Thomas. Honestly, it wasn't that great, but I stuck it out because there was a buzz at the time about the outfits worn in the flick (and of course, Cillian Murphy). I just found these photos on my hard drive and thought I'd put them up. It was a rainy day when <a href="http://anjaulfeldtphotography.com/">Anja</a> took these photos, but we wanted to channel some of that easy, seaside look.<br />

I had been wanting these amazing <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/tom-ford-anouk-sunglasses/2926835">Tom Ford 'Anouk' </a>sunnies, but then saw this pair of glasses and knew it was love. I hardly ever buy new sunglasses because I need to wear prescription lenses, but I'm so happy that these particular specs were abe to be converted.

If you've got some fabric that you've been wondering what to do with, you may want to <a href="http://www.ctpub.com/productdetails.cfm?PC=2373">check this book out</a>. It was a super fun day, with photography by my dear friend and photographer <a href="http://www.christinacarty.com/">Christina</a>. I'll be putting up some different pictures from the shoot over the next few weeks, but since I know a lot of you are crafty gals yourself, I thought I'd share some DIY inspiration!<br />

You'll seldom see me in all black these days, but for something this dark and mysterious I think the look is a must.

The lavender kaftan below is simply gorgeous, and the dirndls are so sweet I'm tempted to keep them!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://www.smugmug.com/photos/i-vWc7ZDV/0/M/i-vWc7ZDV-M.jpg" width="266" /><img border="0" height="400" src="http://www.smugmug.com/photos/i-SDGJP52/0/M/i-SDGJP52-M.jpg" width="260" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Vintage 1970's Embellished Kaftan </div><div style="text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://www.smugmug.com/photos/i-TCRrB4g/0/M/i-TCRrB4g-M.jpg" width="263" /><img border="0" height="400" src="http://www.smugmug.com/photos/i-shdsQWM/0/M/i-shdsQWM-M.jpg" width="266" /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Vintage 1980's Metallic Threads Kaftan</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/89337077/vintage-1970s-blue-edelweiss-print"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://www.smugmug.com/photos/i-tQ8bqvf/0/M/i-tQ8bqvf-M.jpg" width="266" /></a><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/89337077/vintage-1970s-blue-edelweiss-print"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://www.smugmug.com/photos/i-FQ6w5Cb/0/M/i-FQ6w5Cb-M.jpg" width="266" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/89337077/vintage-1970s-blue-edelweiss-print">Vintage 1970's Liberty Print Dirndl</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/89335881/vintage-royal-blue-dirndl-with-red"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://www.smugmug.com/photos/i-HcxgRQn/0/M/i-HcxgRQn-M.jpg" width="254" /></a><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/89335881/vintage-royal-blue-dirndl-with-red"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://www.smugmug.com/photos/i-zxTnHqk/0/M/i-zxTnHqk-M.jpg" width="266" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/89335881/vintage-royal-blue-dirndl-with-red">Vintage 1970's Royal Blue Dirndl</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/89334499/vintage-1970s-blue-cotton-dirndl-xs-s"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://www.smugmug.com/photos/i-pBK4jSH/0/M/i-pBK4jSH-M.jpg" width="266" /></a><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/89334499/vintage-1970s-blue-cotton-dirndl-xs-s"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://www.smugmug.com/photos/i-VRSKD6b/0/M/i-VRSKD6b-M.jpg" width="266" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/89334499/vintage-1970s-blue-cotton-dirndl-xs-s">Vintage 1970's Cotton Dirndl </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/89333610/vintage-checker-grid-kimono?ref=v1_other_1"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://www.smugmug.com/photos/i-zB9FVd4/0/M/i-zB9FVd4-M.jpg" width="245" /></a><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/89333610/vintage-checker-grid-kimono?ref=v1_other_1"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://www.smugmug.com/photos/i-nJRnCgW/0/M/i-nJRnCgW-M.jpg" width="245" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/89333610/vintage-checker-grid-kimono?ref=v1_other_1">Vintage 1980's Checker Print Kimono</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/89332663/fan-print-haori-short-kimono-robe"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://www.smugmug.com/photos/i-WdK9gjQ/0/M/i-WdK9gjQ-M.jpg" width="266" /></a><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/89332663/fan-print-haori-short-kimono-robe"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://www.smugmug.com/photos/i-3CsFSck/0/M/i-3CsFSck-M.jpg" width="261" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/89332663/fan-print-haori-short-kimono-robe">Vintage 1980's Fan Print Kimono</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://www.smugmug.com/photos/i-btkRCKv/0/M/i-btkRCKv-M.jpg" width="266" /><img border="0" height="400" src="http://www.smugmug.com/photos/i-BjnPRbx/0/M/i-BjnPRbx-M.jpg" width="266" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Vintage 1980's Custom Made Modern Cheongsam</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br />
