Urban Outfitters: early spring 10

photography by: Marlene Marino

I received the Spring, Urban Outfitters catalog in the mail yesterday, and I am loving the photography. Each photograph has a soft, vintage-like essence. There are a few pieces that I will like to add to my spring wardrobe too, such as the chevron striped one-piece swimsuit...

6 vintage bags...

Currently I'm back home in Atlanta for the holidays, and yet again I am already missing the warm Miami weather. People who have never visit to Atlanta, usually never imagine just how cold it actually becomes here.
This morning I noticed that waking up in the winter is much more difficult when freezing temperatures are involved. I kept telling myself 'I'll just sleep for another 5 minuets which eventually turned into another 45 minutes...' before I finally rolled out of bed...
After finishing a small cup of joe, while in between adding additional vintage handbags to the shop, I met up with my mother and younger sis for pancakes...which were fantastic!
Tonight is 'girls night out' and I regret not having the appropriate winter gear to keep warm...For the 1st time I'm actually looking forward to purchasing a new scarf-glove-hat set.
I'm thinking CASHMERE... :)

p.s. .....Have a lovely weekend friends!

birthday treat...

Vintage Cocktails, $50

The Satorialist, $25

Domino: The Book of Decoration, $32

Tim Walker Pictures, $125

I Love Your Style, $19.99

There is nothing more fascinating then flipping through a rather large, vivid, coffee table book! My collection keeps growing at a rapid pace...never quite giving me the chance to take a break from purchasing these lovely reads. With my birthday steadily approaching (December 8th), I'm thinking about taking a trip to Anthropologie & treating myself.

december is here...

Vintage 1970s Mia Farrow Coat

Vintage 1970s Ann Margaret Coat

Vintage 1960s Audrey Hepburn Coat

Fall is quickly disappearing while winter is steadily approaching...Most of the leaves have now fell from the trees in my backyard, giving my family & I loads of yard work to complete over this past weekend. I plan to clean out my closet over the next few days, ridding myself of items that I no longer want, need, nor wear...Most likely I will donate them to the American Kidney Fund...however the thought of Ebay sounds much more appealing...It's truly been a while since I had a fun/friendly 'auction'
The shop is now stocked with a selection of cozy jackets/coats & cardigans...
Once you have spare time, I would love for you to visit...

additional additions...

Thanksgiving has now came & gone...and now it's back to work for many. Lately, I've been very relaxed on not adding items to the shop as frequently as I use to in the past...I am very sorry for my new-found laziness. After these past few days of 'taking it easy' I've now re-charged my mind, body and soul...ready for a full week of work! While enjoying a cup of peppermint tea, I decided to kick things off by loading an adorable tweed dress, cozy fur coat and whimsical clever cape. My mother was very adamant on keeping the gorgeous cape for herself (to wear during the holiday season) while I too, was very reluctant on selling the cute day dress...how swell would it look worn with chunky tights and loafers?!

cozy winter staples...

The winter has officially begun & the Holidays are a few days away...
Mod Human Vintage is now stocked with a few cozy staples to keep you toasty & warm for the much colder months ahead.

up-cycle style

These vintage slip dresses were up-cycle, and transformed into beautiful, vivid colors such as pumpkin orange, regal purple and electric blue. A slip dress can be worn from the bedroom to a cocktail party once dressed with the right accessories. Throw on a pair of boots and a chunky knit cardigan, these slip dresses will look amazing worn on a Saturday morning at the farmers market! Each slip dress can be purchased at Caveman Daughter, while the accessories can be found at Mod Human Vintage.
