Outfit Post: Blogger Restyle, 1970s

This month we're excited to be partnering with Lauren of blog and corresponding vintage shop A Wild Tonic.  We wanted to do more than the usual sponsor hoopla (typical introduction post and/or giveaway), and do something more interactive and fun! So we swapped two dresses, one from each shop, to style up in our own ways. Today is the first installment, with a little 70s number from Lauren's shop!

 Outfit details:  cardigan-J.Crew (thrifted), dress-c/o A Wild Tonic, belt-vintage, heels-Urban Outfitters, 

necklace-vintage key on chain

This is just the kind of dress I love for fall--add a belt, a cardigan and some platform heels (tights if it's cool enough!) and you have an outfit that looks super put-together, but ultimately, take five minutes to throw on.  The same goes for my recent love of this hairdo: I know that milkmaid braids are soooo-2010 in the blog world, but my hair wasn't long enough back then.  Now that it is, I can spray a little dry shampoo and let a good hairwashing last almost a week, people. (Sounds gross, but I swear, I shower in between.)

Go check out how Lauren styled this dress over on her blog today!

Say Hello!

Last month, we put out our very first Call for Partners on the blog, and we couldn't be more excited that some lovely ladies hopped on board to work with us!  We love collaborating with other creative and talented people, and it sure helps when they also happen to be pretty amazing people too.

Please, say hello to:
1.  Lauren of A Wild Tonic.
     Lauren deems herself "your friendly neighborhood vintage-lovin', whiskey-sippin', photo-takin' nosocomephobe, who is interested in minimalism, paper goods, and traveling." We have been long-time readers of her blog, and consider her one of our best virtual friends.  Check out her vintage shop too!

2. Maddie of Thriftary.
    There's just too much to say about how funny, awesome, and creative she is. Her blog is chock-full of inspiration for your life/home. You should visit her About Me page to learn more, which made me laugh out loud (how many people do you know that can make an About Me page funny?).

3.  Claire of Salvaged Love Jewelry.
    Claire makes the most gorgeous jewelry out of recycled things.  She also sells the most fun vintage wares anywhere (slap bracelets! Madonna buttons! Master of the Universe stickers!)  So basically, she's a girl after our secondhand hearts.

4. Nicole of Rose Runs Wild.
Nicole, formerly of the Pussycat Vintage blog, is one of our absolute favorite people.  She has amazing style and a gorgeous family (bulldog included!).  She is the most genuine, cool person you will ever meet (or, you know, virtually meet). Her blog is s daily must-read. (P.S. She just got engaged to her studly man, Gray, so go wish her some happiness!)

We are so thankful to have the opportunity to work with these rad ladies--and we have some fun collaborations, guest posts, and giveaways coming your way this month!  So stay tuned.

xo,
J&A
