holiday weekend...

For us Americans, it's that time of the year again... where we usually pack up our bags and head out of town for the holiday weekend... the 4th of July that is. Mr. Rugged and I have yet to make plans however I'm hoping we find a river or lake near by so that we may go tubing! :) Any nice tubing spots in Atlanta? Oh well, wish us luck!
What are your plans for the 4th?

M.H.V gift cards...

Now introducing (just in time for the holidays) Mod Human Vintage gift cards!
Available in $25, $50 and $100 dollar increments.

Check out these gorgeous coupon books from Mulch...
These crocodile embossed books are limited edition and I'm in love with the rich colors. The lime green is my absolute favorite and would be perfect to hold my extensive coupon collection.

tybee island

As promised....here are a few photos from my recent trip to Tybee Island...

2010 store update...

My family & I ventured off to Savannah, Ga to bring in 2010...On Saturday morning we had a lovely southern breakfast and drove to Tybee Island (15 minutes from Savannah) to stroll along the beach & visited Fort Pulaski on our way back into the city...(pictures of the trip in the next blog post.) Historic Savannah is a romantic, charming city, filled with antique shops, moss trees and cobble stone streets...it can make any person fall in love. We finally wrapped up our weekend by having a nice lunch at a cozy restaurant on the Riverwalk...

The holiday was an amazing, cheerful time and It seems bittersweet that the 'Christmas spirit' season has now come to an end. However, It's very exciting to bring in a new decade and I have high hopes & wishes for Mod Human this year! 2009 was an amazing year for M.H and I thank each of you from the bottom of my heart for all your support :)

I added a few more bags to the shop today, and will add another batch tonight...please have a look

holiday vacation...

My parents decided to take my younger baby sister down to Disney World over the holiday break...and I was very excited to when my mother invited me to go along with them on the trip! During this time of the year, Orlando temperatures can be quite pleasant. I'm thinking about purchasing a few additional pieces to carry me through out my week there...
The items above are just a few of my favorite looks, however I will not be purchasing any of the above. They are more like 'inspirational- dream list' items.

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... :)
xoxo
p.s. .....Have a lovely weekend friends!

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...
xoxo

there's something...

I firmly believe that Sunday is a 'day of rest...' In the mist of several naps, dessert breaks and mini conversations with mom & sis, I lounge around the house in cozy pajamas...
Additional marvelous handbags were added to the shop this evening. I love how the colors, textures and designs coordinate with each other. There's something elegant & lady like about these 3...

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?!
