It’s been a whirlwind year already. I look back at goals I had set for myself and miraculously watch as they’re each ticked off the list. This year has been like a lesson in personal manifestation – the more tuned-in you are to your goals, the more you work consciously and subconsciously to achieve them. [...]
So last assignment for Pretty Shiny Sparkly’s Bloggers Do It Better involved pairing neon with neutrals. Since I don’t really… own any neon colored pieces, I went for the next best thing – as bright as I could get. I mean, I guess my nails count, since the tips were hot pink (a failed LivingSocial [...]
This is probably the cutest thing I’ve seen all day! Special thanks to David the Majestic and Beautiful Laura of Birdie Royale Adornments. The music is Ondulé by Mathieu Boogaerts. I love this video so much – and we had such a great time shooting photo and filming! Yay! Thanks again to Laura and David [...]
Now here’s a campaign I can get behind: Gemma over at Retro Chick has started a Campaign for Clearer Clothes Sizing. She says: “I think clothes stores should be made to put the measurements they use to cut their patterns on the labels of their clothes. They should be made to publish their size charts online [...]
Hi Guys! Time to toot my own horn and fill you in on what I’ve been doing outside of Bonne Vie… As you know, I’ve spent a lot of time curating a lot things with Kimberlee from Deco Modiste. Recently we’ve discovered we have a lot of scrap, a lot of unused or broken vintage [...]

Recently, I had a chance to dig through some of the old Deco Modiste back-stock from the last couple Spring/Summer collections. I took some of these cute little pieces over to the Sustalux studio where Jess and I spent an afternoon playing dress-up. There’s something about goofing off in amazing vintage pieces and new, wearable [...]
Last Thursday, Fashion Network Seattle invited bloggers, designers and Seattle’s industry elite out for an arty night-on-the-town. The occasion was FNS’s rebrand/launch, and the premise was simple – pick your favorite designs. The atmosphere was very arty warehouse party, and I saw some fantastic eye candy - definitely the reason I’m drooling my face off over [...]
While we were putting together my wedding, Kimberlee mentioned the idea of a reception dress. Vintage brides would have changed out of their long, heavy gown into something more suited to socializing. It offered a way to preserve the wedding gown itself and to de-constrict the bride. Reception dresses were popular as far back as [...]
I love the way this outfit came together with the amazing Amenaza Maxi Skirt from EtceteraPeru. The skirt is an interesting gray, with draping in the front and a backseam (it used to only go halfway up the back of the skirt, but I fixed it so it a) fit me and b) didn’t look [...]
