Over the weekend, the lovely Tina Poppy from Violetville Vintage came down to Chicago for the afternoon and we had a lovely time… first checking out the Jimmy Choo for H&M which, I don’t think either of us were moved to stand in the massive line to try them on! Either we missed all the good stuff, or the shoes weren’t that _____. So we escaped the the insanity of Saturday shopping and hung out in a raw restaurant and hung out there, sipping strange juices and eating pretty colors. I had a mushroom tower with pretty yellow and purple layers.
Of course I had to get you some photos of Tina, she was wearing such pretty colors! A beautiful mix of vintage pieces, naturally. A double collared taupe jacket, with a vintage DVF wrap dress, and the most amazing necklace with mystery fruit (we couldn’t decide it they were acorns or eggplants!) And the most perfect Pour La Victoire boots.
Are they eggplants or acorns?
Here’s an old post I wrote about Violteville Vintage

Yay! Oh, thanks so much Jennine! I had such an amazing afternoon. Next time, we’ll shop for vintage!
such great volume on the colors of violet’s outfit. I am constantly trying to work more color into my own looks and feel inspired by this outfit.

I would say acorns, but it can be sesonal, acorns one and eggplants the other???
But she is totally gorgeous and love the color mix

Definitely not acorns. They have a little cap, not a pronged thingy. I’d say eggplant or maybe a fig or something? Anyway, LOVE the boots! Way to pull off the over-the-knee look. In fact, this is the best look I’ve seen to date. What a cutie!

Awesome photos as usual. You’re so talented. BITCH! She looks gorgeous. ANOTHER BITCH!
.-= WendyB´s last blog ..Gloriana Necklace, Venus Earrings and… =-.
Love her hair and her lipstick!
I vote eggplants on the necklace. I just love the way she put the whole look together…it has almost a relaxed sort of “new look” feel, with the jacket and then the dress/boots. Sooo gorgeous.
.-= Michelle´s last blog ..Marvelous Monday! =-.
she’s adorable..
.-= monikulus´s last blog ..African Interiors =-.
Those can’t be acorns. The cap on an acorn looks more like a beret; the caps on hers look more like jester hats. I vote eggplant.
she is so beautiful!
Just wow. The photos themselves speak volumes of the day you two spent together–and Tina seems to be in perfect harmony with the colours around her.
I think the mystery pendants may be dragon fruits? Hmmm… Maybe not, but they sure remind me of them.

Sounds like a fun afternoon. Tina is gorgeous and I love her blue scarf and green skirt!
How cute is she??!! I couldn’t motivate myself to stand in that line either…I wasn’t blown away by what I saw online! Too bondage-y for me!

So jealous. Tina is such a lovely girl. I consider her a friend. I vote for acorns.
She has such pretty coloring- and I love the way she mixes colors and pairs them with that bold scarlet lip. I need to take some lessons!

Oh, I had no idea Tina was also the model for Violetville! What a knockout she is. I just love Violetville’s stuff; I found the site via your older post and bought a vintage 60′s suit that I absolutely love.
