Yo Hippie Chick

Everyone who knows me knows I am a hippie chick at heart. Give me a breezy field, some organic food and a long flowing maxi dress, throw in a friend playing an acoustic guitar, I am a happy girl. I also prefer to be barefoot and hands down choose herbs over medicine. For me, this is not part of the new go green, organic craze, its just who I am, who I’ve always been.

When I took these new photos our  1960′s hippie dress, I got really excited. I had so much fun adding the fresh flowers to the models hair and finding a field to frolic in. Unfortunately where I live, in the dessert, the fields are far and few between! We are taking a trip to Arkansas in a couple months and I know the scenery is going to melt my heart! Too excited!

Head over to the shop and check out this dress as well as some other great new items! I am doing a large photo shoot tomorrow with mostly male models so look for some great new guys stuff up for grabs soon!

With Love,

Kelly

The Mystery Dress

 

Hey there! Hope everyone is doing well. We have been busy packing around here, getting ready to move into a new place.Even though we have been weeding through things figuring our what we can part with, due to down sizing, I have still managed to pick up some really great pieces for the shop.

One of the items I recently picked up is kind of a mystery. When I found it I could tell it was old but I didn’t realize HOW old it potentially is. I have been doing some research and I am thinking it is from the 1920′s. There are no labels. It appears to be hand smocked and embroidered. Talk about a lot of work!

Here are some photos…please comment if you know anything about this mystery dress.

Have a great night!

Hampster Wheel AKA My Life

Hey there friends! It has been awhile! First off, I would like to say, I  had no intention of staying away for so long. I seem to have  gotten stuck on this hampster wheel of sorts. Have you ever felt like you are going full speed ahead to nowhere? That is what the past few months have felt like for me. I am not a fan.

One of the tasks that has been consuming my life is finding a new place to live. Ugh, the daunting task of house hunting. It started out kind of fun, but after looking at multitudes of ugly houses, I am done.  Im ready to buy a vintage Winnebago and hit the road.estatehousnd

Not really, but I do dream about it from time to time.

During this time of house hunting and packing  I have also been trying to get my local shop set up and organized. Unfortunately these things combine have cause Wild Love Vintage online, both the shop and blog, to take a back burner.  Hopefully not for long because I have some really awesome new items that I can not wait to show you. Teaser…

I found a few really great pairs of shoes, some amazing dresses from the 40′s and 50′s as well as some cool old glasses and purses. So hang in there, good things are on the way, patience grasshopper.

For now here is a coupon code you can use on any current iteMS in the shop.

A New Found Love

Today was a full, and busy day. However, it was also 1/2 price day at Goodwill and I had a hard time staying away. I dropped by the closest Goodwill, on a mission for a specific display item for my shop, but to no avail. Right as I was about to leave, out popped the cutest little blue  pot.

This bright blue piece of iconic Danish Dansk cookware is made in France. It’s very evident that it’s high quality and I just love the color! Originally I purchased it for my shop, but now I kind of want to keep it. I also found a really cute lime green enamel ware pot made by Fred Roberts Co. with a similar vibe. I no sooner walked in the door and my daughters grabbed it for a photo shoot they were putting together. See the little green pot by the rolled up afghan? These photos turned out great! My oldest took the photos for my middle daughter’s birthday. Here are a few more lovely’s….

I am so proud of both of my girls they are beautiful, inside and out.

As far as the pots go, I am not sure if I will keep them or add them to the shop. They really do not match my house or even reflect my personal style all that much, but I can’t help but love them. The Dansk pots come in some other great colors as well.

If I end up putting them in the shop I will let you know. I have been in the process of moving locations at The Antique Plaza. My space is coming along slowly but surely. I am really excited and I can’t wait to share some photos with you when it’s all set up. The family has been pitching in. The girls and I made shelving the other day and my hubby came and hung it. Gotta love team work.

That is all for now I suppose, my pillow is calling.

With Love,

Kelly
