I’ve got the blues… in a good way. Royal Blue is huge this season! It is such a rich, bright shade + an excellent addition to any outfit. I love this shade of blue when paired or accessorized with another of our best brights: pink, yellow, kelly green, and red. Of course, a royal blue vintage piece is even better! Check out some of my favorites and find more in my Etsy faves. Have a royal blue wonder in your Etsy shop? @ us via Twitter with a link so we can share with our followers!

Last Sunday I hit up the Donnaland estate sale in the Green Shag Market on Manchester, here in St. Louis. While I was already on vintage overload at the sale, I browsed the booths in the Market and immediately wished I had unlimited funds- I *needed* almost every chair I saw. How many chairs can fit in my little house? I mean, really. I’m going back there soon to really dig into each booth + daydream about my chairs some more. You can check out more photos from the day on our Facebook Fan page + check out Green Shag Market if you’re in the St. Louis area!
If you’re still a little wary of braving bright pants but want to infuse a pop of color into your late winter wardrobe, try out a bright or two-toned vintage statement necklace. Pick a decade, jewelry designers are hardly color-shy. These are just a few of my personal favorites, but you can see more of my picks on Etsy.
Every year for my favorite (and only) niece’s birthday, I try to make all of her gifts. This year I wanted to make her a big girl dollhouse with furniture every five year old would want (star confetti table, hot pink fence, heart mirrors, etc) and that I didn’t mind if she ended up breaking it (she turned 5 this week). Most of the supplies + pieces I used were found objects in thrift stores and also a few things I picked up from The Upcycle Exchange. I have to say I was happy to see her so excited about her gift, but a little sad to see it leave our house. Maybe I should start another…for me!
