a Tribal update



A small tribal update in the shop beginning now and leading into more and more color throughout the weekend. An unusual break for me with lots of prints and vibrant hues of citrus orange, leafy greens, ocean blues and hibiscus pinks. A great way to begin the ease into fall.
Hard to think about really, yesterday it was 106 here and that was even with an afternoon shower!

Have a great weekend!

Will Work for Vintage

A few of my favorite images from an all day photo shoot yesterday with the girls. Hanging out, going through vintage, drinking homemade black current and elderflower soda and eating crab and corn chowder. Great way to spend an afternoon!






Photo shoot casualties: These below were "sold" before days end along with a myriad of belts not yet listed for the Fall.



a 1960s citrus sundress that we all believed we owned when we were little and a vintage Emanuel Ungaro vest with the cutest pinstripe back.

Blindsight







Pics from a show that I saw recently of Roxanne Jackson at the Dubhe Carreno Gallery. I can't believe I forgot to post these! I want to put on the hoof heels and prance around! How about you?

" I am concerned with confronting the shadows of the unconscious, having a dialogue with the grotesque and , therein, discovering beauty"

Picnic in the Park





These are some new items coming to No Carnations on this lovely Monday afternoon. A great day for a picnic and I think I will head down to the park before it gets too dark...I'll be just in time for the fireflies.

Finds of the week





Oh how I wish I wore size 5 1/2 or 6! Great finds from one of my favorite thrifts, just sitting on the back shelf. Vintage 60's Givenchy brown mary janes. Vintage custom made Beltrami heeled oxfords from Florence and an amazing pair of vintage 1940's Bombshell floral sandals. Heading to No Carnations as soon as I get the time...maybe tomorrow afternoon ~
