Hat Collection

May is here and where I live the summer has finally arrived. For me, this usually means whimsical summer dresses, cute sandals and the perfect vintage hat... My personal collection is constantly growing, however I did reserve a few of my recent finds for the shop. Why don't you have a look yourself :) 

Collar Obsession

Here's to a new obsession of mine... looks like this year I will be collecting vintage collars.

Stockings

Did you know that stocking were considered a luxury item in the early 30's to mid 40's... women who could not afford them would dye their legs with tea and draw a black line (using eyeliner) down the back of their legs to create the 'stocking' effect. Talk about creativity.

lady bags

This past Monday I've returned from the hospital with a baby boy :) The labor was very long and thankfully I stayed strong and stuck with my decision of having a natural birth (no medicine)... After never ending pushes, Jared was born 8 pounds and 6 ounces. Let me just note, that's 'a lot' of baby for a petite individual like myself. It's amazing to not only be the wife of my beloved 'mr. rugged' but to now be a new mommy to our little tot. Life has certainly welcomed me into a brand new chapter this year.

Mod Human news... here are a few gorgeous lady-like purses which were added to the shop a few days ago.
If you have not already, go ahead and take a peek :)
Also, I've decided to run the 15% off sale for another day.

not your granny's bag

For the greatest while (in the beginning) I've only sold vintage handbags and luckily build relationships with customers based on this fact. Somehow as years gone by and I've continued to scout and sell vintage, I've open my shop to featuring just more than purses. Mod Human now has an array of vintage jewelry, shoes, scarves and dresses. This is certainly a great thing but I must admit that sometimes on rare occasions, I miss focusing on my first vintage love... the glorious handbag. Why? Because I'm forever infatuated with how women can mix and match their wardrobe to compliment any... yes any vintage handbag available.

Mini vintage dresses have always been my 'thing'...this particular paisley mini was featured in the shop, but is now sold to a new home. I'm hoping for a much needed shopping trip over the weekend...I'm on the hunt for additional vtg dresses to add to my new year wardrobe.
