Mad Men

Obviously I'm ridiculously obsessed with Mad Men. I'm sure you are, too. Have you made yourself a character yet? I just did for the first time, and it really brought a lot of joy to my morning.

Check it:

Here I am at the office. Don's all like, "What's up, Mandy!"

Here I am with the partners. Bert Cooper has to pee.

Here's me chillin' with Betty, talking girl talk, you know. NBD.

My bangin' outfit.

The New York Times

Sooooo.... THIS happened today.

I was in the fashion and style section of the New York Times. Feels crazy to even write that! Wow.

I am living my dream. I feel so lucky and blessed. Thanks for all the support, friends.

PS- The dress I'm wearing WAS for sale in my shop (the photo is from a Grandma June photoshoot!), but I just took the listing down today. I think I should hang on to it a little longer... after all, it fits me perfectly and it'll be a nice souvenir. ♥

A Real Doozy of a Piece

Damn, I hate it when this happens. I have one of the most amazing vintage pieces (probably in my top 10 most amazing pieces I've ever come across - I'll make a top 10 list of my favorites in the next post!), and I just don't know if I can part with it. 

Tell me what I should do!

Brooklyn Tweed's Newest Lookbook

I was lucky enough to work with the amazing yarn company, Brooklyn Tweed, for their latest lookbook. Here's a few of my favorites from the shoot, but you can view all of the photos here!

(Doesn't it make you want to learn how to knit?! Ugh!)

So perfectly fall.

I did most of the styling for this shoot, and the wardrobe is all my own. Lots of the pieces in the photos are clothes of mine that were passed down from Grandma June! Anytime I wear something of hers in a shoot, it becomes much more special and personal to me.
