Summer. It Will Happen.

Whoop. New Etsy collection up. We're going to call it 'Summer. It Will Happen.'. Maybe you live in California and you are sweating as you are reading this, but up here in Ontario, it's been a sloooowwwww start to the warmer seasons. We did have a very few nice days interspersed throughout generally crappy days. One of those nice days I was landscaping and even though I am so militant about sunscreen, I managed a nice racerback tank burn on my back. Which is why I had to do the back view of the amazing strapless dress (sold) above on a dress form because my terrible burn lines were distracting from the open back and giant fabulous sash. Tanlines... the trickiest part of balancing landscaping and vintage-ing. Who knew?

But about the collection... I wanted it to be a summery, kinda boho collection. I included lots of jewellery again because jewellery is easier than clothing to take a chance on online, and the last collection sold like gang busters... which made my day. I love vintage clothing but somehow I keep getting into good lots of jewellery and that's igniting a new passion and a whole lot of new learning. 
There are lots of fun pieces but also a few collectible silver 'keep forever and pass down to your children, family, friends or cats' pieces. The detail on this Peruvian necklace is ridiculous and this chunky Turquoise bracelet will never go out of style. It's hard to pick favourites in this collection because I genuinely like it all. It's so cheesy to say but as a business woman I want it all to sell obviously but as Jentine, the vintage enthusiast, I could happily add every piece to my own closet. This fringe-y shawl (sold) is pretty special though and this unusual enamel blossom necklace intrigues me...

  10. I live in Florida & love the denim shorts & boho top look, but I'm 58 years young. How would you style this for someone my age? I am an avid thrifter, also, and love your blog.
