Vintage Inspired Runway: Dolce + Gabbana Spring 2014

Dolce and Gabbana never fails in our books. D&G is always romantic, vintage inspired, and utterly glamorous. These are the kind of clothes we would live in if we were a modern day princess and had the matching bank account. The Dolce and Gabbana Spring 2014 runway collection just tugged at my floral loving heart. I also loved the Greek nuances and the romantic Pre-Raphaelite inspired hair. Absolutely dreamy!

Taylor Swift Vintage Inspired Style

Whether you like her music or not, I think we all can agree that Taylor Swift has some amazing vintage inspired style. Now we might be a little biased because she often wears vintage and even when she isn't, she opts for vintage silhouettes. We think she is super cute and love watching he style evolve. Down below we have put together some of our favorite Taylor Swift inspired looks and even added some pieces from the vintage shop that are pretty darn close to things she has worn in the past. Who is your vintage style muse of the moment? Make sure to let us know down in the comments.

How To Wear A Vintage Circle Skirt | Style Notes

 You know those times where you are standing in your closet, in front of dozens of options and you just simply hate everything? Well so do we and nine times out of ten we reach for a full skirt because no matter what they usually kick us out of a fashion rut. There is a reason this shape has been continually produced for decades. There is just something so feminine about a full circle skirt! We have put together some of our favorite vintage and modern looks that feature full circle skirts below to show you how easy they are to work into your everyday wardrobe. If you are as in love with them as we are, take a look at the options we have listed from our vintage shop down at the bottom.

These vintage wedding cake toppers are from the 1930s and 1940s and most likely made of chalk ware. If you're looking for a unique decorative topper for your upcoming nuptials, might we suggest an antique or vintage wedding cake topper?

Vintage Inspired Outfit: Wild Horses

A week from now I'll be traversing the gorgeous Arizona desert on my way to a wedding amidst the stunning landscape of Northern Arizona. Flagstaff and Sedona are my favorite cities I've visited in Arizona and I'm ecstatic to be able to visit again (I haven't been since I was 15!) Here's a little back story on why this outfit post is inspired by horses...

When my family and I visited Flagstaff we were scheduled to do a tour through the desert on horseback, but at the last moment a thunderstorm rolled in and our horseback riding session got canceled. Hopefully I'll get a chance to do the tour this time around!
