Vintage Vanity Fair Nightgown

Pictured is a beautiful Vintage Vanity Fair nightgown with a white-laced bust and flowing nylon fabric.

Beginning in the early 1900s, Vanity Fair made some of the most desired lingerie, and continued to until 2007. This vintage nightgown was made somewhere between the 1950s and 1960s, as, according to research, Vanity Fair began using only Nylon to create their lingerie after World War II--this piece is 100% Nylon, and one of a kind. It is marked a size 34, which is about a US size 4-6, or medium.

Lace & Life

lace & life

Lately I have been really into neutral colors-- my bedroom is painted a light taupe, my bedding is all mixed white fabrics, the window curtains (as shown in photo) are white trimmed with lace, and even my furniture consists of neutrals, as it is white wicker. The room is decorated with three mirrors-- two gold framed (which are my favorite) and one vintage hand-painted one (kind of shown in the photo). Baby's breathe, green flowers, and this pretty little yellow flower are spread throughout to give the sense of nature within the room, which is all a necessity to make me feel comfortable. 

Tranquil space enhances a creative awakening

I mostly become mentally stimulated whilst diving deepest into my soul and self, thinking of what lies beyond while simultaneously appreciating what is--the beauty that has originated around me. In order to create, I need to be in the right mind set, but also in the right space--something that enhances my creative mind. Waking up this morning I felt as though a tranquil, creative day was due (motherhood is about to begin any day, and alone-time or creative-time is going to run sparse). So, I ventured to my aunt's boho-chic home to spend the day creating.

Random belongings that made the ride with me:

~ A vintage sterling silver bowl

~ Tea bags

~ Paper and paintbrushes

~ Sea shells, coral, and rocks

~ My Nikon 40X

~ The lavender and sun-colored wildflowers (fresh from my aunt's backyard) + green leafs

I chose to set my belongings on top of a wooden table that sits beneath a tree. The sunlight peaked through the openings of tree's leafs, allowing for shadows to cast onto the table and dance around joyfully. While looking around, I couldn't help but to incorporate the lavender and sun-colored wildflowers that grow all around my aunt's backyard. I didn't know what I was going to do with my supplies until my mind was shut off and the creative juices began to flow.

I made my own color pigments with the wildflowers and leafs-- purple, yellow, and green-- and a sand color with tea. Then I painted a mountainous landscape that now hangs on my bedroom wall next to a piece of baby's breathe.
