Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel

Happy New Year all! I saw the Diana Vreeland doc last night and it was really great. I'm not huge into documentaries all the time but this one really did a great job capturing the essence of its subject, which can't have been easy because Diana Vreeland was such a huge personality and true visionary. I'm glad they were able to do her justice. I have a new idol and highly recommend checking this out!

PFS Vintage Office Holiday Party

We had our first annual office party to celebrate PFS Vintage! We got dressed up in our finest and partied like it was 1965. Even our intern Lupin who is normally a pretty big Grinch got in on the fun! Enjoy!

Thanks to Jackie, Cha-nese, Germain and of course Lupin for modelling! Happy Holidays, y'all!

Hot Child, Summer in the City

These are some pictures I had on a film from two years ago, but they still very accurately portray the wonderment that is summer in Montreal. It's a fact, it's the greatest city in the world for two whole months. We're not going to talk about the rest of the year...

This is not my house.

Where I get my juice, aka red wine aka battery acid

There are at any given time literally hundreds of these types of gangs wandering the streets of Plateau.

This is what happens to people who just don't 'get' contemporary art in Montreal.

This is where everyone in Montreal lives.

My backyard.

Hi, Marc.

This is what Downtown Montreal looks like.

Ol' Cuppy Face Brown

Spyin'

Ha ha, young Monsieur just before his departure to England.

So that's just a little slice of what Montreal looks like when it's not covered in snow. I'm going to buy some more film and hopefully take some pictures from this summer and then maybe in two years time I will have the film developed.

Fab Four

The following is a sampling of the myriad of vintage bloggers I follow on the internets. I thought I would pay tribute to them because they are so great at capturing my attention and keeping me from working on my own endeavours.
The four ladies below are, in my opinion, the cream of the crop. Let's just accept the fact that they all have amazing style and more beautiful clothes than one could ever dream of and appreciate the fact that they are putting together outfits to share with everyone on a regular basis.

 

First up is Erin from CaliVintage, a blogger from you guessed it...California. I think she works for ModCloth or something. I love her simple yet quirky style with short skirts and bright solid fabric choices. She also does a great job of promoting other style bloggers with her 'Weekly Roundup' collections of her favorite looks from the week.

Next is Ashley Ording, of Fancy Fine Vintage (which is also the name of her amaaaaaaaaaazingly curated Etsy shop). I think she is actually also from California, but her approach to vintage is much more nostalgic and detailed than CaliVintage's. This lady has an enviable collection of vintage dresses and accessories and puts together great outfits.

I love Nicole Eymard of Fashion Forestry's offbeat colorful style. The four above photos are actually of some of her more toned down outfits. She seems to have an incredible collection of vintage hats and does a great job of mixing patterns and looking totally cute and awesome. She's currently living in London although I think she is from...California! Surprise!

Last but certainly not least is a blogger who is not from California, but Chicago. Bianca of Avant Blargh is probably the lady whose style most closely resembles my own. Said to be the love child of myself and my wifey Cha-nese, she does the stylish geek extremely well and I love that her style heros are Elaine Benis and Denise Huxtable.

So there you have it. My top four go-to vintage bloggers whom I admire the most and look to in times of boredom and need for ideas of what to wear. With the help of these fashionable ladies you now have the power to go forth into the world and put together an inspired outfit of your own. Good luck and God speed!
