Instagram Inst-A-Outfit

I have not been doing a lot of offical outfit post latley, since I felt like they were starting to get a little to "posey" looking. I do share real life daily outfits on the Iphone application Instagram, so here is a round up of some of my most recent.

Wall Art For The Wolf

We are still settling in to our new place, but I am hacking away at Wolfgang's room.   Finally decided not to paint the walls in his room (even though they are a lovely shade of Bloomington beige).  I figure that all the other goodies in the room will help counteract the blandness. Since, one of our favorite family activities trolling record stores, it was due time to displace some of the children's records we have collected.  At first I wanted to put all the records in fancy frames, but at twenty bucks a pop that was out of the question. So, cheap-o office clips it is! That way if we find records we like more, or just want to rotate current ones out, it's not such a big deal.  So enjoy our cheap-o record wall for Wolfgang.

Textile Tuesday: Psychedelic Wallpapers

Folks have spent many hours scraping and steaming off these lovely papers of the past, as for myself I wish I could have a different pattern on every wall. So enjoy this colorful collection of vintage wall coverings.

The Book Of a Zillion Typefaces: "Come Out!" Copyright Circa 1971

I recently watched the documentary Helvetica, which discusses the beauty and simplicty of the most popular font used across the globe.  I personally love fonts and and the processes of designing them.  I'm also deeply interested in how they  can set a tone for something before you even read it .  While collecting some vintage children's albums for Wolfgang's bedroom I came across this kooky non-denominational sing-a-long record that came with what appears to be an instructional manual.  This booklet would give typeface designers a heart attack because it is loaded with EVERY type of font that was popular during the 60's and 70's.  Good or bad? Or just a poorly designed record hoping to grab anyones attention with its Smörgåsbord of typeface.

Let's Hear It For the Boys

Many of us moms who have boys and love thrifting, sometimes feel a little left out seeing all those fabulous vintage girl dresses. Since Wolfgang has been born, I have made an attempt to prove that there are adorable little boys clothes here is a peek at some of his collection :

Cute,right?

Little suits for little boys = super cute!
