Hintage; a hint of vintage.
On a whim, I recently bought a Ralph Lauren Polo knit tie at a resale shop and thought I would mix it into an outfit for a holiday party. My twenty-seven dollar investment turned out to be worth so much more in compliments alone! It was unexpected, classy, fun and ended up being quite the conversation starter. It had me thinking about where else I could dig into to find some vintage items.

Austin Wedding Reception
I’m so humbled by the turnout for our wedding reception at our Austin home. Graydon and I have never had such a wonderful and eclectic group of guests in our home as we did for this reception. {OMG, keeping a list to 100 people was a huge challenge!} We appreciate all the well-wishes and are looking forward to a wonderful life ahead. Special thanks to David at Forever Young Photography for all the photos.

Pride 2019
The month of June was chosen for LGBTQ+ Pride Month to commemorate the Stonewall riots, which occurred at the end of June in 1969.

Finally, Some Interesting Architecture in ATX
So happy to see a little bit of style coming into the new architecture of Austin. All they have built in recent years are glass boxes and rectangles. Glass is great, but this use of brick is welcomed to the eye.

Cotton Candy
When ectomorphs find clothes that fit well, it is a big deal. Clothes are generally not well fitted in retail stores, so I was quite pleased to find this product line called Mercantile by J Crew. They’re well fitting, stylish and athletic. My only complaint with their denim is that it transfers; all over my seat, unfortunately. So I give the shirts 5 stars, but aim on the cautious side regarding their jeans.
