Mirrors can be so simple, but I just love them when used as a work of art. I’m absolutely in love with the gorgeous frame around this French Country Mirror from Etsy vendor Revived Vintage. And what an absolutely perfect name to describe it!
To me, there’s nothing cuter, prettier, or more enticing than an incredible dessert. Just put a slice of pie, a cookie, or ice cream near me and I’m incredibly happy. But these Vintage Design Cake Boxes from Cox & Cox have taken desserts a whole leap above. I mean come on… who can resist these adorable boxes? I love the idea of having these on hand at the end of dinner parties to send guests off with any little dessert extras you may have. Just too sweet for words!
For any word-lover like myself, this print from Etsy vendor memorydust is absolute heaven. With the vintage font across the page of a dictionary, it’s a romantic and totally timeless print. I’d love to put it in any room of the house, and with such gorgeous coloring I can see it matching almost anything.
I’ve been on a real letters kick lately. I’ve been obsessing over letters on rings, necklaces, bracelets, stationery, walls, and everywhere possible! When I found this Vintage Typewriter Necklace from Etsy vendor Buster and Boo I knew it was the one I had to have. What’s cooler that wearing the keys from the machine that types the letters? I love the black against the white, and the vintage feel of it. I really love the X O, but I may need to do a V for Vanessa… such a tough decision!
Recently, I’ve been stumbling on an abundance of keys used to decorate homes, shops, jewelry, and much, much more. I love the vintage feel of a beautiful brass key, and think they look fantastic when used as the focus on a wall. With my new found key obsession, I put together an inspiration board using this Blue Ribbon Key Moving Announcement designed by Persnickety Pear as the focus. With the look of a classic key, it’s a great way to welcome friends and family to your new home. Now if only our keys still looked like that!

I have a special place in my heart for anything patent leather, and oxford shoes. Patent leather is so cute to me, and I grew up loving the patent leather heels my mom would wear out for special occasions. Oxford shoes on the other hand, make me think of smart, sophisticated students, and are an addition to my wardrobe I’m dying to make. When I found these shoes from Etsy vendor brownbagvintage that combine patent leather with oxford shoes, I fell in love.
There is nothing I love more than to travel, and when I came across this vintage white leather suitcase with its adorable baby blue lining over on Etsy, all my summer travel dreams resurfaced. I mean how effortlessly cool would it look to breeze through the airport with this luggage in hand? I’d love to get off the airplane in the south of France with this vintage piece, a gorgeous sundress on, and big sunglasses. Where can you see yourself traveling with this?
These gorgeous vintage-inspired rosebud earrings found via Etsy designer LarqueByjason blew me away when I first saw them. They’re so romantic and yet so simple, I’d love to wear them with a white dress to really show them off. I may even have to get some as gifts for friends, they’d look great on anyone! Needless to say, I’m absolutely in love with these delicate earrings.
