We’re back 📣 And on Friday, April 17 from 5-9PM, we’re partnering with interior designer Nicole Lanteri (Nicole Lanteri Design) and longtime creative friends Nancy Miyahira Jennifer Barger for a one-night-only Spring Salon at the Arlington 1950s ranch Nicole recently designed as a showroom-meets-clubhouse space.

Inspired by the home’s colorful midcentury aesthetic, we’re bringing vintage finds perfect for unfussy entertaining and adding designy specialness to your home. Also on tap: custom cocktails served in vintage Rare Form glassware.

Bonus: We will be bringing pieces from our personal wardrobes to sell alongside the other creatives.

It’s going to feel like a house party, but with shopping. 👀

Comment “party” for the address!

Prepping a collection of sculptural jewelry for on 11/8. Our inspiration for the market this season is inspired by the idea of Bianca Jagger throwing a house party—wearing cool sculptural jewelry and slinky 70s clothes, natch. We’ve been playing with bold, metallic brooches and clustering them on everything from blazers to fabric bags.

Don’t miss the market—it’s one of the best in the region. Early-admission tickets will get you first dibs. Head to the link in our bio for tickets. See you there!

What truly haunts us? The vintage gems we passed up. From stunner MCM candlestick holders in Pittsburgh to a statement lucite coffee table at a local estate sale, these are the ghosts we wish were hiding in our closets or the spooks hiding underneath the bed! 👻

We know we are not alone. Tell us in comments: what vintage find haunts you?!?
