My weekend get away!

Hello lovely bloggers,

It has been a while since I checked in. I hope everyone had a really nice weekend. I enjoyed a lovely weekend trip with my family up to The White Mountains of Arizona. My darling husband rounded our family up together and planned a quick weekend getaway to some cooler, fresh mountain air. Lots of family time, laughs & stories around the campfire, good food, fishing and relaxing serenity in nature's beauty was all around me this past weekend. I couldn't ask for anything better. Here are a few photos I would like to share of some of our mountain memories...


The little taste of winter weather I experienced this past weekend. Definitely got me in the mood to talk about Vintage Winter clothing. I had planned to post a blog about that last week, however ran out of time preparing for the trip. I promise to be on the subject this week, as I am already behind on the topic of discussion. Most of what my clothing consisted of this weekend, was what you would call a 1940's camping wardrobe. Dungarees, flannels, scarves, tennis shoes & wet boots! Let me tell you, I really got a break from pin curls and make-up lol! But that's what camping is all about, according to my husband.....

Toodles,

Senorita Photo Shoot Inspiration!

Good Evening All,

As I am counting the days until I leave town. I have been preparing and packing suitcases, cleaning house and tying up loose ends. I thought I would take a minute to sit down and share some of my inspiration photos for my upcoming shoot I have planned. I am so excited about this shoot because it really hits home for me. I will keep my outfits for the photo shoot a surprise until the final product has been produced.

Here is an idea of the Spanish Senorita look I hope to capture myself. These beautiful women are so colorful and inspiring to me!! Susana from Vestige Photography is amazing with a camera! We are planning on shooting down in the Old Town San Diego area. This shoot is just one style in the Vintage Western Life series I have planned. My next focus is on 1940's Cowgirls. I hope these inspiration images will capture your heart as well. I can't wait to share them with you all......

XOXO,

I saw these 1940's Moccasin's on Ebay a few months back. They were not my size, my oh my goodness I wish they were. I would buy them in a heartbeat!! Who ever purchased them is a lucky duck.......

I dressed my whole family up in 1930's era clothing for Dillinger Day's at Hotel Congress in Downtown Tucson. This re-enactment of John Dillinger's capture takes place every January!!

Hello Friends,

As I was going through some pictures on my computer today. I came across some pictures of my family that I thought would be nice to post. Since most of my chatter has been about fashion thus far. It is a nice change to get to know a little bit about the family life. Because I am a vintage nut! I insist on dressing my entire family that way. They like vintage and appreciate my love for it. However, they are not as obsessed or dedicated as I am. I can't get them to dress vintage everyday like I do, so I appreciate it when they participate in dressing up for events and such. Here are some family outings that have taken place. Enjoy!!

XOXO,

Syd Divine
