Nothing makes me happier than the return of the one-piece..classic, feminine and oh so sophisticated, hanging by the beach this summer promises to be anything but drab!

{Retro Refined}

As mentioned in my previous posts I am genetically drawn to collections, I get about as much pleasure from a new bowl, vase or perfume as I do from a tropical vacation. Perhaps it's the thrill of the hunt, or that finishing touch, or the fact that no matter what the find it always feels like it was made just for me.

While the possibilities may be endless, these vintage treasures are a classic tribute to collections everywhere.

Growing up I had a friend whose mom collected vintage tea pots. She displayed them on a shelf that ran along their entire kitchen, I thought it was so pretty and still remember it to this day.

I saw these vintage coffee grinders at a café in Toronto, sipping espresso suddenly felt very nostalgic

{Vintage Art in a Modern World}

There are two things I have always been envious of:

1. People who can draw (a gene I was born without)

2. People who have travelled the world.

So, naturally when I stumbled upon these vintage airline posters they were the ultimate incentive!

500 Days of Summer

I have been waiting for a movie like this for a very long time, finally something for the romantic-cynics of the world. A classic tale of boy meets girl with a modern-day view on love. Joseph Gordon Levitt brings a comical tenderness while Zooey Deschanel sparkles in a retro blue wardrobe.
