Ghosts, ghouls, and goblins!

Halloween isn't just for the kiddies!  Get ready for fright night. Plan ahead and have a great night without the outrageous cost.

1. Plan in advance!
Decide outfits and accessories a couple of weeks before the Halloween party. This will give you plenty of time to shop around for the best deals and be sure to hit the craft stores early!

2. Go Shopping!!  Shop in advance for costumes or get stuck paying a ridiculous sum for poor quality.
Vintage is perfect for a cute, affordable, and stylish costume.  Vintage lingerie, hippie dresses, 80s punk, and avant guard fashion are perfect for creative hearts!  Shop for vintage online at Nostalgic Collections.

3. Decorate to your heart's desire!
Martha Stewart offers some amazing pumpkin carving templates. Use gourds and pumpkins as accessories in your autumn harvest theme!

Trick or Treat!

Fashion Icon Drew Barrymore

I'd like to start out today by stating that I ain't no english major. I feel that I have a decent grasp on the English language however, I am not a professional journalist with an English degree. Ooofta. Glad to get that off my chest. {Evidently, I even write Northern Minnesotan.}

Getting down to the nitty, gritty. I adore Drew Barrymore's sense of style. From the glamorous dresses to vintage punk, Drew is an absolute fashion chameleon. 

Don't believe me? Here are a few of the fashions she's sported in 2009: 

Image 1: Drew Barrymore in Nina Ricci. Image 2: Drew Barrymore in jeweled Alberta Ferretti gown and a birdcage veil.  Image 3: Drew Barrymore in Alexander McQueen Resort 2010. Image 4: Drew Barrymore for Cover Girl.

I adore the fact that she isn't trapped into wearing the "same ol' style" day after day.

Your thoughts? I'd love to hear you comments!

An Introduction to My "Obsession"

Welcome!

I'd like to formally introduce you to my "obsession" with vintage clothing, fashion, and style. 

I'm ecstatic to announce that last week marked the release of my website, www.NostalgicCollections.com. I'm getting my foot wet with a new hobby (and crossing my fingers hoping one day it will become a career). Some days I feel like I've jumped off the deep end! LOL

Your thoughts? I'd love to hear you comments, so please chime in! 

XoXo,
