Grandma June at Moody Lords!

If you're in the Portland area (Maine, that is), you have to check out Moody Lords. It's the place to go for unique and rare vinyl, and now vintage clothing! Grandma June is happy to supply a rack of ladies vintage clothing (all different sizes!) over there, so stop by! 578 Congress Street, upstairs. Support local!

Here are some photos I took when I was there the other day.

This is Andy, one of the owners. Go visit him, tell him I sent you!

One of my favorites

I'll be listing this dress soon, one that has been in my personal collection for years. I love how versatile it is. Wear it belted, loose and flowy (would make a good maternity dress, actually), or with a cardigan. I love how the pleats start above the bust, and I love the cinched and British-eqsue wrists.

I did a photoshoot in this dress with Bryan Bruchman a few years ago, and I had such a fun time showing it's movement.

And here's a video I took yesterday. Look for this dress in my shop soon!

Lately I've been obsessed with tumblr. Indulge with me in my distraction from actually being productive on the internet.

(New Etsy listings soon!)
