Taking a Break!

I will be taking a break from Bobbins and Bombshells while I move into my new apartment!

My Etsy store is also in Vacation Mode. I should be back in few weeks with a new craft room, and lots of new inspiration!

Retro Looks In The Modern World: Sunny and Sexy

As much as the modern fashion world looks forward it also continually looks back in time.

Here we explore Retro Looks in the Modern World.

This poolside shoot for the May 2011 issue of Vogue Italia is a lot of fun! I love her "Catherine Deneuve" styled hair. I don't know about you but I'm ready for Summer!

Weekend Reading: Links a la Mode

Windows Into Our Worlds

Edited by Meghan Donovan of WIT & Whimsy

I've said it before, but one of the reasons I love fashion blogging so much is because it has the power to be very personal and connect you with people whom you may never have met otherwise. This week's Links a La Mode show you just how intimate one's blog can become when you open up your readers to visits to neighborhood boutiques, DIYs done on a rainy Sunday or similar styles perfected by fellow bloggers. Our blogging allows for little windows into our worlds and its often what makes writing and photographing for posts so very worthwhile.
