Ahh, the good old 70’s. The Jackson 5 and avacado kitchens. (I’m still living with an avacado colored wall oven and dishwasher!) This floral mini dress is so cool and retro. Available here from bestofrb for only $18.  See many more here….

Two new wallets made from unexpected materials. The top wallet is available on Etsy from DuckTapeMania and is made entirely of duct tape. Click on the image to see the inside pockets. Very clever!

The wallet shown below is from Beetnik Aesthetics  (a lifestyle clothing company) and is constructed of full-color cardstock sandwiched between durable transparent vinyl and inscribed with Earth-friendly messages.

Hats at Royal Ascot

Hats :: Ladies Day at Royal Ascot

Yesterday was Ladies hat day at Royal Ascot and the traditional hats were all on display. The Daily Mail has a great photo spread which includes two of my favorites above. On the left, Jasmine Guiness wears a Stephen Jones hat which was apparently inspired by Disneyland Paris, and hat designer Tracy Rose shows off her own creation on the right. And remember the big to-do over SJP’s fascinator at the “Sex in the City” London premier?

Ruche is a modern boutique with a vintage touch located only online. Rather than paw through racks of clothing, you can browse the Lookbook for inspiration. Best of all, everything seems to be very reasonably priced with dresses priced between $20 and $50.  I also love their patch skirts and peasant blouses. (Oh, and yes, I saw two fringed leather bags there.)
