Fading Memory Jars

Concept Necklace Cluster

My boyfriend gets to be on here because he wore a couple rad outfits while we were at the beach and at home recently.
=)

The necklaces are from a (aka the only) vintage store in Nags Head, and his socks are Stance from a surf/skate store there, as well.

The concept of the pendants is having eyes bigger than your stomach.
I feel that concept pretty much sums up our beach food experience.

The Flower Lady

This is Myrtle, the lady who owns the flower house on Beverly Street, a house I have been obsessed with for years. I met her by chance and got to see the inside of her house when I helped her carry shopping bags, which she was lugging around in the sweltering heat. She lives right up from downtown and walks down to the thrift stores all the time. Her ENTIRE house is covered in fake flowers, stuffed animals, figurines, vases, pictures, statues, etc.

It is the most awesomely interesting house I have ever seen. She is 83 and has lived there for 15 years.
And of course she has flowers in the built-in vase on the dashboard of her Bug.

Sometimes I forget that Stuart Hall brings in people from all over just as much as Mary Baldwin does.
Her dress is from Asos.

Bonjour!

Hello! Thank you so much for taking a look at this brand new project! If you're from the Staunton area I hope you enjoy these snapshots of local style! If you are from anywhere else around the world, I hope you enjoy them just the same! I hesitate to use the word fashion over style, because fashion by definition denotes a sense of passing trend. Personal style, however, is infinite and not limited to the fickleness of fashion! 

I like Staunton because there is no major aesthetic "fashion" group. What I mean is there is not much of a set standard of dressing in the more "alternative" crowd. Richmond, per-say, has that kind of thing. Staunton, however, is I guess too small. Either way people in this area who have there own special style, really truly have there own special style. Such as these lovely ladies!

PERFECT outfit.

She got her shoes from Retro & Me, a excellent vintage shop in the upstairs of 17. =)

This lady told me she made her skirt from a Victorian-era Butterick pattern. So awesome.

Last but not least is my friend Joy who I ran into. She is adorable.

Thank you again for checking this out! I hope you like what's going on here so far. If you do, go ahead and follow me, I promise I won't disappoint!
Have a fantastic day!
