Saturday Goodness

Completely random. If you enjoy street art and have 10 free minutes I highly recommend this. What can I say? I didn't want to wait until next Friday to share this.

Web Wanderings (2)

1. Outfit Jealousy

RPV                                                       The Wardrobe Wars

This dolly dress is beyond adorable on it's own, but paired with the ruffle socks and clogs it is just the type of feminine look I am craving.

There it is. The maxi dress of my dreams. It will finish off summer perfectly, then transition into fall with a draped cardigan or moto jacket.

Coat Check                                                   SweetThing

Printed button up and shorts = just as perfect as the one I featured last week. The simple styling with vintage accessories puts this one over the top.

Mixed Neutrals paired with a flowy white peasant top. Another perfect fall transition look.

2. Shop I am Shopping

I guess that should be shop *I wish* I was shopping. American Gold by Spanish Moss is slightly out of my price range right now, but hopefully it won't all be sold out by fall when I have money again. I love the draped bohemian vibe, and all of the rich textures.

3. Blog Obsession

It's Project Runway season again. Thank goodness! Even with this season's inexplicable judging decisions, I just can't get enough. I'm sure many of you already read T Lo (formerly Project Rungay), but if you don't then get on it. These two are fabulous and opinionated on PR, Mad Men, and celebrity fashion. Just plain hilarious.

Rainy days and web wanderings

Blasted rain! I set aside the early hours of today for outfit photos. I though I was being sneaky, and would avoid the afternoon showers we have been having all summer. No such luck. I awoke to a pretty heinous thunderstorm, and took that as a sign that I should just sleep in. Oh well. Instead I will be giving something new a shot.

I have been looking for a new way to present some of my favorite web findings, without taking up the limited spots in my Five Things Fridays posts. It isn't a blogger interview (I'm lookin at you Mousevox), or an inspirational looks post (What's up Calivintage and The Upside of Wonder?), and not really a product review (I see you Sartorial Sidelines.) It is basically similar things I want to share, but don't want to devote a whole post to. You dig? Let's see the first draft.

Outfit Jealousy

       

                 Haiku Ambulance                                            Mess Your Hair Up     

By god I need a pair of mustard pants in my life. This photo has been in my inspiration folder just taunting me for weeks.

Black outfits paired with brown accessories are pretty much on my fall must list.

Milk Teeths

It's the hair and the frilly blouse in this one. I love how girly and playful this looks. I need a little more of that in my summer wardrobe.

K is for Kani                                                        Kelly Lauren

Summer meets back to school. I love the combination of cut offs and a simple button up.

I really need to focus more on accessories. This simple jeans and blouse combo is perfection due to the little touches.

Shop I am shopping

    

    

    

How great are these embroidered rings? I love their vintage vibe, and the color selection. I'm not much of a jewelry girl (you may have noticed), but I do love a good ring or two. Her Etsy shop also carries cute prints you might enjoy. 

Blog Obsession

I have this tendency to run across heavily followed blogs and think "Why have I not been reading this all along?" Such was the case with Bonnie's blog Flashes of Style. I am obsessed with her easy chic looks, and the brief yet perfect explanations she uses to describe them. Definitely one of my immediate reads in my ever full Bloglovin queue.

I pretty much have the attention span of a circus monkey, which is not great considering I do most of my work online. However, I encourage you to be my enablers. If you have any blogs, shops, music, or books you think I would like let me know here or email me at Twitchvintage@live.com

Also, let me know if this kind of post is not your cup of tea. Seriously, speak now or you just might have to deal with it weekly.

Wednesday Style Inspiration

I watched What's eating Gilbert Grape for the first time in years this week. This time around I was most enamored with Juliette Lewis' character Becky. Beyond the fact that she gets to make out with Johnny Depp (A shaggy, awkward, ginger Johnny Depp at that), she comes across as cool in a way I have never been. Her fluffy pixie cut, bold lip colors, and early 90s wardrobe only add to my girl crush.

Even with that awkward mullet in the last pic, I still kind of want to be her. Click HERE to watch.

Happy Wednesday,

Hey Mama

Midweek Inspiration: Urban Outfitters Original Icon Contest

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's a stylish mom contest! How great is that? Over at Urban Outfitters they are having an original style icon contest, featuring your (and everyone else's) mom. I have been enjoying the uploads for the last few days, and thought I would share some of my favorite entries. Search @Urbanoutfitters #Originalicon through Twitter for more results. Better yet, upload a few photos of your own by 04/16. Here are my entries of the lovely Mary Anne (aka Mama Twitch...  I have never actually called her that, but you gals can.)
