Marvelous Music

Hi everyone!

I hope all of you had a great Memorial Day weekend, and took the time out to think about what the weekend really means. As Alexander Hamilton said, “war is the price of liberty”.

I decided to write a post today about music that is currently rocking my world. Most of it is rockabilly music, but I scattered a few more modern songs in the mix as well

1. “Sailor Jerry Rum” by the Faraway Boys – I just love this song, and I keep it on repeat. I discovered it yesterday on Pandora while listening to “JD McPherson radio”. The guitar throughout the whole song just gets you going.

2. “Lonely Girl” by Pink – This song I feel just was written for me at a lot of points in my life. I have never really fit in, and this song just describes it to a T. Linda Perry also wrote and sang on this track, and I just have a huge amount of admiration for her – I think she is a genius! Good stuff.

3. “Hurt” by Johnny Cash – This song just gives me the chills. Cash’s haunting voice is just so perfect for this song, which Trent Reznor wrote.

4. “A Gentle Awakening” by JD McPherson – I don’t think JD can do any wrong. This song just has a great haunt to it, and the piano in this song just really makes the whole thing.

5. “Staying Alive” by The Bee Gees – I know, I know, it’s disco. But I find that the title of this song has a new meaning since the recent passing of Robin Gibb. His memory and legacy will be staying alive through his music, for sure. And besides, this song always makes me want to dance and swag, even despite my bad foot

6.“We All Got Somebody That We Want To Kill” by Hipbone Slim & the Knee Tremblers – Oh yes, I whole heartedly agree. The title of this rockabilly song just says it all. A great song to vent some frustration with.

7. “50′s Pin Up” by Si Cranstoun – If you haven’t heard this man’s music yet, what’s wrong with you?! This song will make you want to get up and start jiving as soon as it starts. Si is surely becoming a superstar in rockabilly scene, and deservedly so, I must say. He’s growing on me like JD McPherson has.

8.“Take A Picture” by Filter – This song has such a floaty, ethereal vibe to it. I remember hearing it years ago, when I was still in school, but I never quite remembered enough to figure out the artist or song title. Only just recently did I hear it on TV, and consequently googled the lyrics. Within thirty seconds, it was downloaded onto my iPod.

9. “Heaven” by I Monster – This may be an obscure band to most people, and it certainly was to me. But a friend and fellow music junkie introduced me to this magical track. Just like “Take A Picture“, it has a very ethereal vibe to it – perhaps even more so. This is a song you could just veg out to while laying in a country field during the night, staring up into the sky, analyzing the stars.

10. “Tainted Love” by Imelda May – This cover of Soft Cell’s ’80s classic is just amazing. I am usually a fervent loyalist to original versions of songs, but this one just really took up residence inside my cranium. Somehow May perfectly melds the main original elements of the song with her own rockabilly gal twist. Good stuff.

All of the songs I have listed are available on iTunes. So go ahead, download to your heart’s content! Help support music and the people who bring it to you

What’s your current music obsession at the moment? Why do you think that may be?

Get Thrifty, Stay Nifty!

Hi dolls!

Since my thrifting post seemed to be rather popular last week, I decided to do a post on the top tips for going thrifting. I know a lot of you either have done so already, or there are those of you who have been wanting to go, but just need an impetus. Well, that’s what I’m here for!

1. Know your measurements – One of the best things you can do is to invest in a tape measure (only a couple of dollars at your local drug store or craft supply). Be sure to measure your bust, waist, and hips, as well as the length from one shoulder to another. This way, when you go thrifting, you can bring your tape measure with you to see if a garment will fit you or not. Please allow an inch or two for movement when you are looking at a fabric that doesn’t stretch. If it has stretch, then no worries Some thrift stores do not have fitting rooms, so this is a practice that will save you a lot of strain!

2. Put the item under scrutiny – Make sure you take an extra good look at what you have in your hands. Make sure there are no stains, holes, chips, parts missing, discolourations, and the like. Sometimes it can be hard to tell with a quick glance, then when you get it home you notice something that may deem it unwearable. What’s the point in that? It’s not worth it to shell out money for something you probably won’t wear, so just leave it where it is. But if it is something you think you can fix or just deal with, show the cashier the issue and see if maybe you can get an extra dollar or two off. Haggling never hurt anyone!

3. Know what you are looking for – When I go thrifting, I have a certain look in mind for what I want. I know I already want clothing that has a distinctly ’30s, ’40s, or ’50s feel to it. I sift though the racks, looking for something that just screams out to me. And even when I do, I still play a mental movie in my head of what I have or what I may need to go with it to give it an authentic vintage or rockabilly feel. You may initially not see that top as a very great vintage addition to your wardrobe, but surely if you just add the right skirt, shoes, and accessories, you will have an amazing old school feel that you can’t get enough of! I have done that a few times, and I have never missed yet. Also, this practice prevents you from buying things you otherwise wouldn’t wear. And what’s the point of buying clothes if you’re not going to wear them? You might as well just throw your money in the garbage.

4. Study elements of vintage style – I cannot stress this enough! If you are going after a true vintage look while you are thrifting, be sure of what elements of style were around in the era that you are trying to achieve. I believe this to be of upmost importance, so much so that I may do a series on this ranging from the 1920s through the 1960s. You just cannot get a true vintage look without having the necessary elements there. For instance, one of my tops that I bought during my last trip had what is called a Peter Pan collar, and that is a typical style from the 1930s. Any time I see something with that collar, I immediately snatch it up, because it is one of my favourite shirt elements from that period, and it will instantly help you achieve vintage appeal.

5. Match! – The look you are going for is vintage, not modern. Therefore, mixing colours that do not go together is a no-no. We are not doing colour blocking here, sorry. The more you match things, the better. This is a good idea to keep in mind as you shop. Did you just pick up a red and white gingham dress, but have nothing to go with it? Well, then you should find yourself a white belt and a white pair of shoes at least. Also, a white purse is a good investment as well. I am still working on being totally matchy-matchy with everything, but for the most part make sure the accessories match at the very least. For instance, I wore a black circle skirt dress from Bettie Page clothing the other day, but I wore a red belt, red shoes, and red hair flower. I only had a black vintage bag to use, but I know I need a red one, which I hope to get soon. But always make sure that you have things that would match with whatever you are buying. If not, then you get to go on another shopping trip! LOL. Basic black accessories are always a good base to start off at, then white, and so on and so forth.

6. Don’t limit yourself – Try to go to more than one thrift store in a trip. That way you have way more variety, and you have more chances of getting some real scores. This is especially true if you have something in particular that you want/need. Also, along this same vein, go back to thrift stores every two to four weeks, as they always have new clothes rolling in. There might be that perfect item there, just waiting for you, but you decided to stop going there after last time and them not having much of what you like. These stores are not retailers! They get what they get, and sometimes it can be to your benefit or to your dismay. But don’t limit yourself just because of one unfruitful time. Also, be sure to ask the staff when their restocking days are. That way, you can go that day and get first dibs on the good stuff!

7. Cash is king – Try and bring cash with you to most of these stores that you go to. Some places don’t have ATM/credit card machines to pay, and other places require a higher minimum to use it. To avoid all of that unnecessary effort, just bring cash and that will be that!

8. Wash your finds – Be sure to throw whatever you may have bought into the laundry to make sure it is nice and clean, ready for you to wear. Some people just give their clothes without washing, and I am not entirely sure if the stores themselves wash them or not. To be safe and secure, I would wash them just after your purchase so that you can add them to your closet knowing full well that they are ready to wear.

That’s about it for my thrifting tips. This is all a culmination of what I have learned along the way so far, but I am sure I will have more to add at some point in the future. I hope these help you to have the best thrifting experiences you can!

Get Your Thrift On!

Yesterday I went on a glorious trip around town with my Mom going thrift shopping. I went to four different stores each in the span of a few hours. I found some great things, only for a few dollars each – how can you beat that?!

The first store I went to is a place called Encore Thrift. It gives all of its profits to veterans, which I love, having been in the service myself. I would buy the whole store if I could, just to help out! I got my shop on, and found a great white cardigan in a cable knit that I had been looking for, as well as a red gingham shirt (perfect for my high waist capris!), and a beautiful vintage inspired shirt.

But you have to check this out: the vintage inspired shirt was new – with the tags! You gotta check out the retail price versus the thrift price:

Amazing, right? This is yet another reason thrifting is awesome and addicting

The girl who works there is so sweet. I remember her from when I went there when I was recovering from my shoulder surgery, and she was really nice even then. I was about to pay for my things, which equaled $14, but as I gave her my debit card, she said there was a $15 minimum for cards. So, since I was checking out the jewelry bobs and things, I got this one ring I thought was cute. The girl makes them herself, from authentic playing cards from the 1940s:

After that, I went to another store, called Save Thrift. I was excited, because the money from there goes to helping dogs and cats, another passion of mine. But alas, they only really had house ware stuff, not much else. The store was also rather miniscule. So that was a bust. But the next two I went to more than made up for it! The third is called just the Charity Resale Shop. Pretty plain and straight to the point LOL. This place was gigantic, and had tons of racks of things from kitsch to clothes to purses, belts, hats and more! I squealed with glee when we went in there,and happily perused everything. I checked out the shoes, but I don’t even know why I try – my feet are a monstrous size 11, so I know I am only destined for online foot wear purchases only LOL. But I found a great red sweater tank, perfect with a bullet bra underneath, as well as a bright yellow cardigan, followed by three scarves. I also found a black patent leather belt that I needed for a Bettie Page dress I have because the original broke, so that worked out very well

I also found this cute little purse for only a few dollars, great for summer trips and such:

I believe I spent a total $20 all together in that shop for everything. We next voyaged on to Second Chance Consignment Shop, which was also gigantic. My Mom found out about it from her friend Sheila, who had gone there earlier that day! It was kind of off the beaten path, but well worth the effort. Racks and racks of great stuff! I found three great vintage looking tops, as well as a chiffon scarf for only 25 cents! A grand total of $12 was spent here

I would say yesterday had to be one of, if not the best day I have ever had going thrifting. The thrill you get when you find a real gem after all the work of sifting through all of the other junk is remarkable. And then the prices just seal the deal! Around by my Mom here in southern New Jersey, there is a large population of older and retired people, so you have a higher chance of getting really great stuff. Always keep that in mind if you plan on thrifting – if you know of any stores near retirement/adult communities, do go to them, because you have a greater chance of hitting the jackpot. And also, please do go to the charity shops and spend to your heart’s content – your money is going to great causes, so it is completely guilt free shopping!

I plan on getting rid of a whole bunch of old clothes that I am not going to wear anymore since I have gotten into the vintage scene, and I plan on donating them to the military charity shop because they will get loved again and the proceeds go to a great cause. I just can’t throw away clothes, I just think that is a horrible waste! So to the charity shop they shall go. I gotta make more room for other thrifting and vintage finds, ya know

The “Scene” and Unseen

I have been having this topic on my mind for a while now, because I have been dealing with stupidity, snobbiness, and elitist tendencies from people who also are in this style or “scene”. I wanted to finally get my feelings on everything out there not only to help people, but also to maybe instill the seeds of change. At least I hope so.

Since I have started with my vintage dressing and lifestyle, I have never received so many compliments in my life. It really is a sure fire way to look great. But I have noticed that most people within this lifestyle have this horrid habit of being nasty towards each other and being selfish. I find it incredibly disheartening that whenever I finally find or meet someone who enjoys the same style and life that I do, that they turn out to be nasty, and are ridiculously critical of everything and anything you wear, say, or do. So many people in the scene act like they know everything about it, and that no one could possibly dress better or do anything better than them, and therefore it apparently gives them some right to be nasty, jealous, and hypocritical towards others. I find this to be completely juvenile. Shouldn’t we all respect each other at the very least? Isn’t this style all about expressing yourself and being different? Then why is it that people feel they have some right to make calls on others just because of how they dress, their looks, what they do, and whatnot? Just give it a rest! This should be and needs to be a tight knit community of support, not of shunning and secrecy. I can’t believe anyone would “hide” where they shop for vintage clothes, like other people are going to steal “their stuff”. Help spread the wealth! And mind you, most vintage clothing and thrift stores are small businesses, so you are keeping good business from those that really need it and deserve it.

Let people be who they are. Stop criticizing the girl that you think has “shitty” victory rolls, and go freakin’ show her how it’s done if you think you know better! I gladly and willingly teach and help my clients to achieve styles and looks on their own if they desire to know. No one knows it all or has it all, so lay off. Contribute positively to this community, or keep it to yourself.

Fabulous Fleurs

I wanted to take some blog real estate out today for the ever important topic of – hair flowers! As any vintage loving gal knows, flowers placed just ever so can really just add that perfect finishing touch to your look. It’s also a unique way to add definition and an element of surprise to an otherwise seemingly blah outfit (*coughworkcough*). So, I made it my mission to give you ladies the what-for when it comes to les fleurs.

If you are just starting out with the hair flower business, surely you must be swarmed with choices as to what to get for your first! The best and most versatile piece is a traditional red rose, a good 3 or 4 inches in diameter. You can pretty much slap that baby on with anything and some red lipstick and be out the door. Of course, this is your base until you graduate up and out, as well as receive a firm education in the decorative floral arts . From there, if I were to suggest a secondary purchase after the rose, I would say go for a white lily. A lot of the ladies you see nowadays sporting hair flowers have at least one white lily in their arsenal, and is quite the pinup petal. It is also very feminine without being too dominant or overly dramatic, which is good to start out with as well until you get used to all that staring from looking so fabulous!

What flowers to wear when? ‘Tis an ordeal, je sais. My rule of thumb is that if it’s not in season during this…err…season, then let it be for a bit, at least until it’s a tad closer to said flower’s bloom time. Also, make note of the colour like any good accessory. Would you find the placement of a bright yellow carnation to be appropriate in winter? No, not really. Keep that gorgeous lovely for the spring and summer, darling. Mums, dahlias, and the like in muted or jewel tone colours are much better for the fall and winter. Keeping this in mind helps to keep the look very authentic, and very much time appropriate.

And how exactly to wear your flower? First, make sure it matches with something in your outfit. We’re not dressing in modern day here honey, where it is all avant garde to mismatch everything and have it look “cool”. Going for the retro look means going for it. That means that you must try to abide by the fashion rules back in whatever decade pleases your fancy. But with any time in vintage fashion, making sure that everything matched together was essential and expected to ensure you’re looking your most magnificent. What I usually do is choose a colour that is secondary within my outfit, and choose a flower in a corresponding colour. For instance, today I wore a black dress with a red belt and red shoes. What flower did I go with? A red rose. Let’s say you have a novelty print dress with just a bit of blue in it. Bringing that ensemble over the top just means putting a blue flower in your hair! Also, please remember the balancing system, as I call it. That means making sure your flower is placed where it “balances out” the rest of your look. For instance, let’s say you did a cold set on your hair and brushed it out with a side part. That hair flower needs to go on the side with the least amount of hair on it, just above the top of your ear, to keep it balanced. And please – no victory rolls with flowers in the rolls – use the side entrance, please

Where is a girl to get fabulous flowers? I have bought all of mine from a great place called HairFlowers.net. As a matter of fact, I just received my most recent order today, that which you see above, containing a white azalea, pink rose, yellow carnation, and a navy blue peony. This brings my total of flowers to nine, and I already have my next order lined up for when the funds come in – a vintage girl can never have enough hair flowers! I intend to have every flower and every colour under the sun if I can HairFlowers.net has been absolutely fabulous for whatever I may need or want; I have seriously spent a good couple of hours just oohing and ahhing over everything they have – the selection is second to none. Your order always comes immaculately packaged, just like you were opening up a gift! Great care is taken to ensure a safe transit for your items. I have also found their flowers to be rather durable, and also intricate. They even have flowers for you sticklers out there who want the longevity of a falsie but the feel and touch of the real thing! They also have a lot of flowers that also have a pin along with its clip on the back, in case you feel like decorating your clothes instead of your hair And might I add, I am not being compensated or anything by them – they don’t even know I’m giving them the thumbs up. This is my unbiased opinion from my own personal experiences and purchases, and you can always count on that from me

Six for Sunday

Hi everyone!

Yes, it’s that time again – Six for Sunday! I’m going to fill you all in on what is currently rocking and socking my world right now. Let’s go…

1. JD McPherson

I’ve said it before and I will certainly say it again – LOVE this guy! His music is simply intoxicating, and the songs always get stuck in my head. His live show was also amazing at Viva, and I felt obligated to do an individual post to do it right justice. “North Side Gal”, “Scratchin’ Circles”, “Country Boy”, and so many more are something I definitely plan on playing many times at my potential rockabilly pool party in the summer!

2. Fifty Shades of Grey

Yes, I caved. After hearing all the hype, I felt I needed to investigate. I must say, it is intriguing, and I like its plot line, but I can’t say it is any high brow literature that deserves praise as a masterpiece. It is good light reading, something to lose yourself in and enjoy yourself (especially if you’re feeling rather peeked lately ). But I did download “Gone With The Wind” on the Kindle my Mom just gave me to go back to reality a little bit, and go to something with a little more of a cerebral core. I have been going between the two, because sometimes I need a break from one to go to the other. I’m already on page 155 of Shades already, so I guess that’s not bad after owning it for only a day so far. Gone With The Wind is right at the beginning, with those pesky Tarleton twins

3. Doris Mayday in The Pin Up magazine

Agh, she is by far my most favourite pin up/vintage model, but Masuimi Max surprised me at Viva and made me love her, so she’s a close second. I specifically invested $10 in the hard copy of the magazine despite subscribing digitally so I could attain her John Hancock. I don’t think signing my iPad would be that grand of an idea, now would it? After I got my picture with all the lovely ladies, I asked for her autograph, an she was more than happy to oblige me in the perfection you see above. I just wish I could get it framed somehow!

4. Going through my Grandma’s personal affects

I recently helped my Mom go through some of my grandmother’s old stuff (She passed last year at age 95. Best grandma ever ), and I found some amazing personal treasures that I plan on keeping for the rest of my life. I found birth certificate from 1915 (!), high school diploma from 1933, her personalized bible from the ’50s, and things from my grandfather. I thought it was so cool to see that, and have a personal part of my family’s history from my favourite era. I am actually really jealous my grandmother got to live in the time period I wanted hahah.

5. Libeled Lady

A movie from 1936, starring Myrna Loy, (a young!) Spencer Tracy, William Powell, and the awesome Jean Harlow. I finally managed to get a non-broken DVD from Netflix after two previous tries, so I was more than excited to give it a whirl ASAP. And I must say, it’s one of the best movies from the ’30s I have watched in a long time, if ever! Minus Gone With The Wind, naturally It’s about a woman (Loy) who is suing for libel after a newspaper prints supposed falsities of her being a husband stealer. Powell’s character is hired by Tracy’s character to try and intervene and get rid of the suit. Harlow’s character, who is Tracy’s fiancée, gets pulled into their scheme as well. I am not going to divulge any more than that, because I want you all to watch it! It was Oscar-nominated, so if that doesn’t help you decide, you’re bloody hopeless ;-P

6. Fenway Park’s 100th anniversary celebration – 4/20/12

One hundred years ago on 20 April, Fenway Park, the home of the Boston Red Sox, opened. In honour of this milestone, they brought back legends from the Red Sox as far back as the ’30s and ’40s. Fisk, Pesky, Buckner(!), Garciaparra, and many more legends walked the field in a reunion only a baseball fan could fantasize about. I literally got the chills watching all of those legends together, seeing all of history all at once in such a historical moment as that. It really was special, and I hope to see that again sometime. I doubt it though – it’s a once in a lifetime thing.

I and someone special are in Vintage Life magazine!

I got the very pleasant surprise of being in Vintage Life magazine this month! I am on the back inside cover, on the reader wall. I know, it’s not something to get super excited about, but it’s something special to me

But then, when I actually got into really reading it after I got back from Viva, I got an even bigger and better surprise – my baby doggie was also in the magazine!

Just had to share with you all

The Lone Girl With The Incredible Style

I have noticed that in my area, just about no one dresses the way that I do. And this is New York City! We are supposed to be so diverse, have so many different cultures, and tons of style! But yet it is ever so difficult for me to even remotely see anyone with something even close to resembling my style. I do like being an individual, yes, but to know there are a few others sprinkled out there would be nice too! When I was at Viva, almost everyone was from California, especially south, like near LA. I know the proximity of LA is close to Vegas, with it only being about four hours or so away. I used to live in Vegas for two years, so I am very familiar with the area. But also, most of the vintage and rockabilly scene is in southern California. I have even considered applying for jobs there, because that is more of my scene!

But I know a lot of you are dealing with the same situation asme, which is this: you love to dress in a vintage or rockabilly style, but your city or town is basically desolate of anyone that is even somewhat close to being similar to you. What is a girl to do?! Well, let me fill you in on my own experience, and you can use that as a guide for your own life and style.

First of all, don’t be afraid to dress in what you like just because everyone else around you dresses differently. To me, I see it as everyone else dresses so boring, like cookie cutters, and meanwhile, I dress fabulous, and stand out from the crowd in an amazing and unique way! You have to look at your situation in the same way. I have never gotten so many compliments on my outfits, hair, and makeup as when I have been dressing in a retro style. I have people nearly every day complimenting me, and I always get noticed on the streets or in the subway. It makes me feel good knowing that people are appreciating my efforts and the ways that I love! Naturally, there are going to be some people who think it is weird not to dress like everyone else, but think about it – they have been brain washed by all of the popular magazines and shows, and think that’s being unique. But we are truly being unique and really being ourselves and being who we want to be. We are living life our way, and damn proud of it!

I know some of you have unnatural coloured hair, but yet you have job interviews or places of work with very strict dress codes. What’s a girl to do? Why, wear a wig! That way, you can keep your colour, yet conform to the “stuffy” standards of the workplace some of you may have! Also, buy nice vintage dresses that will work at work. Nothing with too much cleavage or too much leg, or anything too “different”. I know, it sucks, but sometimes you just have to if you don’t work in a place that accepts your style. I think most of the dresses from the Stop Staring! line are fabulous for work and for play. The cut of a lot of the dresses is very professional, but yet sexy enough to go out afterwards. I hope to purchase some of their dresses soon!

Also, makeup for work should be kept still minimal – nothing too crazy for the eyes, remember. However, red lipstick is a classic and always works for any situation, work or play!

Now, the key to rocking your style, no matter where you live, despite not a soul dressing like you? CONFIDENCE! You can never have enough confidence, and the rockabilly and retro style is certainly one that demands it. Think about it – you have been confident enough to go against the grain of what all of those cookie cutter women are wearing and think is “stylish”, so go for it! Confidence is the final ingredient in any final outfit, and is what really makes it work!

I hope this helps all of you ladies out there. And always remember – you are never alone in your style, no matter where you are!

JD McPherson

I am so excited to be writing about the fact that I saw JD McPherson live, you have no idea! This is probably the thing I was looking forward to the most if you really prodded and asked me what I was most excited about going to Viva. I loved everything and had so much fun, so it would really be tough to choose anyway LOL.

I got out of the Burlesque Bingo a little after 8:30 or so, and that meant I already had to run upstairs to the ballroom to get my seats and everything already to see good ol’ JD. I did manage to get some seats, but they were grabbed in vain, as I was destined to stand the entire time. No matter, as I was only three people deep from JD himself, and the kind sir gave ever such an amazing performance that I almost forgot about the RSD pain in my foot for a minute!

When I got to the ballroom, there was a DJ there already, and a band starting to set up. I first saw on the initial schedule that JD was supposed to perform at 9 PM, so I thought it might have changed back from the 11 PM printed in the official program. But alas no, for it was the Sidewynders setting up to play. I figured alright, I’ll hang with their groove for a bit. So I did, and I don’t regret it. Not a bad sound, honestly. I actually looked for their music on iTunes, but did not find anything, sadly.

After their set was done, another DJ came on until 11 PM came upon us. Then, out of the shadows, came a jean jacket clad JD. And my, how different he looks in person compared to pictures I saw! Not too shabby looking of a dude, I’ll say. I think most of his sex appeal comes from his musical abilities!

Now, the rest of his group comes out and he offers us a hello via a wave. This was about 10 or 15 minutes before the show even started, and the group was already about 15 deep! I was lucky and went up earlier than that by about 10 or 15 minutes, and was lucky to be about 3 people deep, at the most. I got great angles for pictures and video, so let’s get on with what I know you all have been itching for!

And my personal favourite of my pictures of JD’s show? This absolute gem-

I just adore this picture so much – I think it just sums up the incredible fun and energy in such a perfect and pinpoint way

And now, a treat for all of you lovelies, what you all have been waiting for – VIDEOS!

How about that? What a great show! I just found out via his Facebook page that he will be at the Mercury Lounge this week, and you can get tickets for barely $20! I would go if I could, trust me And if you haven’t “liked” him on Facebook yet – what are you waiting for? Go do it!
