Mondern 50 ~ Photography then Furniture

I was so taken aback by the composition and color of these photographs on Modern 50/Factory 20 I hardly noticed that the spectacular vintage pieces were actually for sale. I spent the good part of an hour on their site simply staring at the photographs. Here are my favorites ...but the vintage objects shots are just as mesmerizing.




















. . .and I would kind of die for the Paul McCobb black dining room table & chairs second down from the top. Chairs are not for sale though ...and the table's a bit more than I wanted to spend. I may just be able to find a comparable set and diy it myself :)

hilarious vintage post card greeting

. . . from 1954 on Ebay right now ...I almost want to buy it. Really.

* Channeling the 1970's *















What I'm Wearing
* J Brand Lovestory jeans in indigo ...seen here
* Vintage pink polka dot blouse ...Vogue Alley ...was my grandma's
* Vintage gray pinstripe blazer ...I think I've had this for over 10 years, in fact, I know I have. It originally came with a matching skirt that I saved forever to alter but never did. I probably still have that somewhere too actually. It's a great classic blazer.
* Vintage suede burgundy belt
* James Perse white jersey long sleeve {layered under}
* Black Pour La Victoire Platforms ...worn with purple socks :) *Did anyone catch these on Project Runway last night? ...sitting on the Bluefly.com wall? They're not available there ...but they are at amazon {where I got them}. Click the shoe to buy.
* Gold wishbone necklace by Privileged {actually on sale on gilt/fuse right now for much less than I bought it for}
* Gold hoops
* Tom Ford "Yvette" sunglasses
* Ferragamo handbag


I'm feeling considerably better today. Maybe because it's Friday, maybe because writing about it yesterday helped me deal with it, maybe for 100 different reasons. Who knows. Who cares. That's my attitude right now, and it's totally working. Although I did wake up at 5am feeling strange beating in my chest, over my heart. It feels like a fluttering and I'm guessing I pulled something whilst lifting heavy plants at Osh yesterday afternoon. Needless to say I couldn't go back to sleep because I was worrying about it. So lame. I still feel it now though. annoying.

Did anyone hear Ryan Seacrest on Kiis this morning? OMG I was hysterical in the car on the way to work! He does this thing where he sings part of a song and a caller has to figure out what song he's singing and finish the lyric to win a prize ...and it's so ridiculously hard to tell what song he's singing because he's sooo soo bad. I mean, worst singer ever! It's hilarious. This morning he had a pitch pipe he kept blowing into to find the note he was supposed to start singing on, which of course, he never did ...and the girl couldn't tell what song it was so she kept asking him to sing it over .... omg I was dying!

If you can't tell by my enthusiasm in these shots, I'm totally over the rain.


What I'm Wearing
* Calvin Klein wide leg jeans
* BCBG gray puff sleeve knit tunic
* Forever 21 brown cowl neck long sleeve jersey under

* Hair: obvious messy side braid

This is a sort-of view from the sort-of front door area of my ...well, front yard. And while rocks in lieu of grass is probably a bit better for the environment since you don't need to water rocks, I'm going to get rid of them. Not all of them. But there will be grass in this front region so when I look out my windows it's green and not gray. We're also completely gated in so this will become a very nice area for the doggies to lounge around once the rain ends.
