2023-09-15 10:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostI love New Orleans like she's the other woman in my relationships but dang if I don't like a good cabin vibe. There's just something about wearing vintage knits over just a thong and crew socks that makes me want to Netflix and chill.

2023-09-10 10:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostCABIN SHOWER GLAMOR SHOTS Only thing I'm missing is a brush as a microphone and some (insert your favorite artist to sing along to in the shower to) playing loudly. Happy Friday y'all :)
2023-09-08 10:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostA quick history on 1940s/1950s Japanese Workwear Kimonos
(I have several in both shops - in New Orleans and in NY if you'd like one! They come in all colors and patterns and are a heavy knit)
I can't get enough of this bathing suit I can get enough of these jeans - I only brought a few pairs with me to travel this summer and the other ones I wore out so it's just these one's now, baby. They look better off anyway, amirite?

2023-08-25 10:00:07 +0000 UTC View Postthe doctor will see you now but I should forewarn you: my practice is limited to prescribing coffee and sex and lessons on New Orleans history. midcentury white coat from Charity Hospital at a time when it was one of the busiest hospitals in the world. It’s got neat chain stitching on the collar and left breast pocket. fun fact: Charity Hospital is the second oldest hospital in the nation, founded a month after NY Bellevue, back in 1736.
2023-08-22 15:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostA 1940s/50s Miriam Haskell beaded wooden necklace. Haskell was a jewelry designer active in NYC from the 1920s to the 1960s, well known for the jewelry all being handmade and hand wired, comparable to embroidery. Her pieces were beloved by many in old Hollywood. During World War 2, Haskell (like many) was asked to limit the use of metals in her designs and instead began introducing wooden designs like the one I’m wearing. Her pieces typically sell for a few hundred dollars. Midcentury Miriam Haskell necklace ($175)

2023-08-13 10:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostUpstairs in an old French Quarter home feeling all those dreamy old timey vibes in this old timey 1950s silk smoking jacket. Smoking jackets were originally designed in the 1850s as smoking rose in popularity and were intended as a “short robe of elevated stature” to protect one’s clothing from the ash and smell. They became associated with luxury and style, as they were made of bold colors and prints, and desireable fabrics.

2023-08-08 12:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostOff to protest the Vietnam War ✌🏻 Something I never realized from high school history class: the (anti-) Vietnam War aesthetic (peace signs, flower power, free love and the rise of The Yippies and Hippies) only occurred at the very end of the Vietnam War, and largely after the United States implemented the draft. Prior to that time, the U.S. had been involved since just after World War II, fearing the spread of communism. The involvement stretched across 20 years, with the last few really defining the aesthetic we currently associate with the Vietnam War (ca. 1965 to its end in 1973). Bandanas were just one small accessory used in hippie culture/aesthetic as an anti-war subculture fashion choice. Bandanas have continued to take on meanings to represent different sexual preferences, but more on that in another post.
2023-08-06 12:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostAn antique Odd Fellows "Noble Grand" robe (1875-1900s) which would've been worn from the leader of that particular location's fraternity. Got to shoot in an old French Quarter home and it was like stepping back in time.
2023-08-04 12:00:01 +0000 UTC View Postif Skims were made in the 1920s I love any loungewear by a Kardashian but I love the original inspiration for the clothes more. These hundred-year-old soft pink pointelle pajamas are from the 20s - they’re soft and stretchy and sheer with the original labels. It’s a long, fitted tank top with high waisted shorts that fit like modern day bike shorts and a tiny little hem. I have multiple pairs and I’m keeping every one of them to use as my own pajamas. I’m wearing them as I write this post 💋

2023-07-25 12:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostA late 1800s floor length, velvet, chain stitched OddFellows robe. I’ve talked about the OddFellows in some of my previous posts but I’ve never seen robes quite like this one. Doesn’t hurt that I took the photos in an apartment that also hasn't changed much since the robe was made.
