OldSchoolSwank Winter 2016 Vintage Lookbook
Earlier this month my friend Julia shot the OldSchoolSwank Winter 2016 lookbook. It was a drizzly day on Lake Champlain, which made for a bit of a cold and damp experience, but I am so in love with how it affected the lighting in the photos. We shot it at a few different locations around the small town Essex, NY where she lives, including a boathouse, an old inn porch, a church door and a gorgeous fence in front of an old brick house. The location felt very "vintage" and was super inspiring, and my models braved the rain for some amazing shots. Lucky for us Julia had made some hot soup for afterwards which warmed us back up quickly. Essex is right across the lake from me in Vermont, and so I jumped on the ferry in the morning and was home before dinner that night. Great times : )

OldSchoolSwank January Inspiration
Each month I will be bringing you an inspiration post featuring a mood board for OldSchoolSwank's upcoming vintage collection. For January I am leaning towards darker colors, feminine silhouettes, stripes (always) and athletic inspired pieces. Also adding more children's items, because how can I resist when they are just so cute?
What are your goals for this new year? Thanks for being here : )

OldSchoolSwank Fall/Winter 2015 Lookbook
I am so excited to share some images from the OldSchoolSwank Fall/Winter 2015 lookbook! This is a project I have wanted to do for so long, and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. My super talented photographer friend Julia Backus photographed another friend Abby in a few looks that I feel represent OldSchoolSwank's overall style for this Fall/Winter season. I love how the photos encompass a little retro, a little bohemian, and a little mod style, which are my favorite vintage items to source.
If you'd like to check out the full lookbook, or the newly updated shop website, head to www.oldschoolswank.com.
A Photoshoot Date
Yesterday Owen and I drove around and took a few photos of the OldSchoolSwank bandanas I've been making for my website. It was such a sunny, crisp fall day and it felt great to get outside and enjoy October. A butterfly even landed on one of the bandanas while we were taking photos of it! Lots of new things ahead for the website that I'm excited to share with you soon, hope everyone is enjoying their week : )
Roundup : Fall Road Trip OldSchoolSwank Style

| 1 2 3 4 |
Can you believe its September 1st? Crazy, but I love it : ) I have been driving around Vermont a lot this past week visiting friends and family, and its inspiring me to keep exploring more of the Vermont towns I've been wanting to check out since we moved here. I love walking around a town and checking out the local shops, cafes and hikes. And fall is such a perfect time to do that with the crisp sunny weather and the beautiful foliage. I've rounded up a few vintage items currently in the shop that would be perfect for a fall weekend road trip!

Wore: That Seventies Suede Skirt
Can you really go wrong with seventies clothing? I've been researching that era a lot this week for a project and oh my gosh did Jane Birkin have awesome style (you can check out some of her great moments HERE). Please stop me from cutting my bangs like hers because I can NOT pull it off, but I sure want to! Maybe I'll pull out the school picture of my 7th grade self with heavy parted bangs to deter future thoughts...
I'll be listing lots of great new vintage today, and breaking out my sewing machine for design purposes for the first time in months. Its this awesome weather getting me all inspired and stuff. Hope your weekends are fabulous!
Wore : Vintage Floral Cutout Dress
I found this purple floral cutout dress while out and about sourcing for the shop the other day, and bought it with the "noble" intentions to sell it. Once I tried it on, there was no way! Its so light and airy for summer, and the tie back is really different. With the 80 degree weather yesterday I decided it was the perfect time to try it out : ) Owen snapped some pics while we were down at Red Rocks, a great park right near our house. You might remember us hiking there HERE.
Lots of new vintage being listed today (once I get some more coffee in me), so check back with me!
