Preppy with a Twist & Gilding the Frilly Visit the SDV Showroom!

March 10th, 2010

Playing Dress Up at SDV from preppywithatwist on Vimeo.

The genius ladies behind Preppy With a Twist & Gilding the Frilly stopped by the Sammy Davis Vintage showroom Monday night for wine, hummus/pita, good tunes and even better vintage!

The vintage love was so strong that night — can you tell I’m beaming during my interview?

Mariel & Becky have a true sense of personal style. They dress conservatively, but never forget the strength of color, coordination, and of course … character!

Thanks for stopping by, ladies! I can’t wait for dress up session #2!

Pretty Pastels and A Little Flash = Spring Has Sprung

Pretty Pastels and A Little Flash = Spring Has Sprung

For me, March is a “free” style month.
It’s not quite spring, but not quite winter. I wouldn’t say March welcomes spring. Because in all honesty, on the first day of spring, we could get a massive blizzard. I would know. My birthday is March 16th, and I had many childhood birthday parties ruined by the [...]
