My View: Memphis Vacation!

I'm back from my Summer vacation to Memphis! My husband and I had so much fun spending time with family and learning the rich history of Memphis. First, we flew into Memphis from New York and took off in our Fiat 500 rental to Giant City State Park, IL for a family reunion. My husband is from Illinois and this was a great retreat from the hustle and bustle of our lives in New York City.

On the road....I can see for miles and miles...

Ahh nature! Here I am testing out my new Tres Noir sunglasses by the lake.

After the reunion retreat, my husband and I drove back down south to Memphis. We did some vintage shopping at Flashback. One of the few vintage shops in town, and definitely worth a visit! I bought myself a new sun dress and a fur hat!

Classic Mississippi paddle boat and a fun ride!

We did the Sun Studio tour, the birthplace of rock 'n roll. Here I am in my Trashy Diva dress I got in New Orleans.

Where are you going on your summer vacation?

Mid-Week Inspiration: Vintage LA Postcards

I'm gearing up to go to Los Angeles for a vacation on Saturday. I can't wait! Naturally, I've been doing some research on vintage shops and amazing places to visit while I am there. I came across these vintage Los Angeles postcards and love them. Did you see Clark Gable in the first one? Love!

My View: New Orleans

My husband and I just returned from our honeymoon in New Orleans. We completely fell in love with this beautiful city! Here are a few images from our trip.

Festive Shotgun houses.

Beignets. Just like Memere used to make.

St. Louis Cathedral.

Love the houses and architecture here.

Typical New Orleans cemetery in The Garden District.

Street musicians.

I can't wait to go back! Check out my flickr stream for more shots of this lovely city.

Fashionable History: Airline Travel

The golden age of travel may well be behind us. Sure, we all have more access to the friendly skies, but I'm not sure that they are that friendly anymore. Here is a mini-flashback to the airline's heyday. When stewardess' were fashion icons and customers didn't have to try to hide their liquid foundation in their carry-on case!

Vintage Finds of the Week: Train Cases

Oh how I wish I could go on a trip this summer. I love carrying vintage suitcases and train cases are my favorite. Who wouldn't want a case exclusively for all of your toiletries and make-up? I love the mirror, the compartments, it all stays neat! For my vintage finds of the week I found some beauties on Etsy. If I can't get away, hopefully you can take one of these on your vacation!
