Vintage clothing patterns








Today I went to the estate sale again and i got a box of vintage patterns , a couple are vogue 60s couture patterns( Vogue Paris Original )Balmain and Molyneux. My favorites are the ruffly collars and tops. I have no idea how to sew, so i might sell them on etsy, for all the creative dressmakers out there.

Vintage 60s black bow straw hat




Today i went to a huge estate sale, which is my favorite thing to do. i found a couple things, a 70s denim Gunne Sax maxi dress (i will put in my store sometime this summer) which was still there after i was a hour late, lucky me, and this black straw hat from the 60s, which i am so exceited about. I have been looking for a good sun hat for a while. There was a lot of hats but i couldn't afford them all, maybe i will go back tomorrow on half off day.

Today 4/17




Todays outfit, very casual. i found the perfect black high waist skinny jeans and black leather pumps with bows in the back. today i saw this awesome lady at the grocery store, wish i had my camera with me. She had a floral dress on, she had long grey stringy hair, a beautiful dark complexion, her skin looked good for her age, she had a lot of character, she kind of look like a witch, but in a good way.

Home grown tomatoes instead of store boughten

corporate grocery store hell















nasty food


































overpriced tomatoes at the store







homegrown baby organic tomato plant



Going to the grocery store is really frustrating and annoying because all the food especially the fresh organic food is overpriced, especially in big corporate chains. I went to Savemart because its close to my house, they have the smallest organic section, all the other food in that store is basically inedible in my opinion. One time i tried to find a loaf of bread that didn't contain any high fructose corn syrup but every single brand had the syrup. Then i noticed that most of their products contain it.
Thats why i went and got a tiny tomato plant so i can grow my own organic tomatoes and it saves you a whole lot of money. i will keep you posted on how my plant is doing.

80s Face Pattern lounge dress



Today i am wearing a 80s Christian Dior teal face pattern lounge dress. i want to start collecting more of these type of cottony bold pattern dresses. Cotton is comfortable and easy to maintain and patterns are fun.

Hello, my name is Regan, welcome to my new blog. i am a obsessive compulsive vintage shopper. I want to start documenting every interesting thing or idea I stumble on, mostly having to do with fashion and art. Right now, I love pretty rose pattern florals, I don't think its because its trendy but because its spring time, makes me feel extra feminine and the floral pattern is a classic aesthetic.
