Pineapple Mint

All the way in dearest Chicago lives Kimberly Harvey with her three cats and boyfriend, probably knitting something right now...

Or maybe blogging on her delightful blog, Pineapple Mint, where she expresses her fashions or just explains something fascinating that has gone on in her life... as I do. 

However, what got my attention was her archive of vintage delectables!

I have been hunting for a good pair of vintage 70s cowboy boots and these are perfect! I just have to get my mother to agree to get these for me...
 *sigh* She's not really a fan of used items or thrift stores, though. But it's worth a try?

You can find more fabulous finds at her etsy shop (but those cowboy boots are off limits)!

Don't Forget to Fly

With soft powdered pinks and a delicate touch, this collection of photos (each with its own quote) are truly inspiring.

They remind me a bit of Valentine's day...

Yvonne

p.s. When I first discovered this collection, I noticed our websites had the same background!

Vintage wallpapers are beautiful and will never get old :)

Bec Winnel

One of my favorite bloggers, Daydream Lily, isn't the only talented one in her family. In fact, her lovely sister also holds a bit of magic in her hands...

Bec Winnel has created these gorgeous illustrations for the Tasmanian jewelery label That Vintage...
But that isn't all I'm sharing with you!

I am also delightful to share That Vintage is going to turn 2 years old on Valentine's day and EVERYTHING in store will be shipped FREE! Also, along with your purchase, you will receive an extra, little sweet gift...

*swoon*

Alright. Now, back to the main point of this post...

 Bec Winnel is a very talented young lady and I have more pieces by her to share...

 

Sleeping Beauty

Innocence Prevails

Lost in Transition

These three pieces by Bec are my favorite and are undoubtedly beautiful.
The soft, quiet tones really bring out the innocence of each girl and Bec's realistic style has met to its fullest.
 You can even see the reflection in the eyes...

Au Revoir,
Yvonne

This young photographer/artist owns many wonderful things that I envy for...

Especially that intricate pocket watch... so whimsical!

Patricia Snook

 "when your darkest dreams come true"

This collection by Patricia Snook is full of surprises,
but I especially love the pictures of her bunny...

I have one of my own :)

hugs&kisses,

Yvonne

Marie Hochhaus

Marie Hochhaus is another new favorite photographer of mine... I especially love the photos of her sister (the girl in the layered powder pink dress and floral tights)... the different patterns and overall tone is just so amazing...

Discover more beautiful pictures by Marie Hachhaus at her mariehachhaus' photostream on flickr!

Au Revoir,

Yvonne

p.s. I actually featured a photo by her in my post, Lovely Floral Tights :)

Love in Vain

Swedish photographers, Waldemar and Max, release their latest work, Love in Vain, in Fault magazine. This collection is just so breathtaking and you could almost feel the emotions depicted in each photo.

I just love how the models' eyes look so eerie and sad, as if they're wondering about their valueless love for someone (well, their character's)... it makes me feel kind of sad too, but I am also captivated by the stunning vintage patterns, lovely laces and random bursts of colors present as well.

Photographers: Waldemar and Max

Stylist: Kawa H Pour

Make up: Nina Belkhir/Linkdetails

Hair: Robert Preston/Mika's

Model: Kajsa M/Stockholmsgruppen

Photo Assistent:Peter Edqvist & Maria Therese

hugs&kisses,

Yvonne

Urban Renewal

Seems like Urban Outfitters has another big surprise worth sharing...

Urban Outfitters decided to go to Los Angeles and visit a rag house... and scored in the huge warehouse full of recycled and vintage textiles sorted into packages piled up to the ceiling. They were originally searching for distressed denim for their Fall 2010 collection... but then an associate called, announcing about an auction for her amazing vintage archive... Urban Outfitters bought the collection without hesitation...

I am super excited for this new addition to the UO's stores...

But I'm impatient too.

Shop UO renewal with me online here!

11nightmares

This is another new favorite photostream of mine, that I found on Flickr by 11nightmares...

The artwork and photography has such a dreamy feeling and is absolutely breathtaking... I'm feeling a bit inspired.

Bird Cages

I have recently discovered Pearled's photostream on Flickr, and it has some of the most amazing photography... I especially love her bird cage pictures, taken at Angel Place, in Sydney, Australia...

I definitely want to go there someday and take pictures of my own.

xoxo,

Yvonne

p.s. I thought I would might as well stick this into here...

Well, I have been obsessing over and trying to look for bird cage necklaces ever since I found this one on Pearled's photostream...

It is absolutely gorgeous, but I am sure I'll find one just as magical... :)
