Gogo Style Goes Live

My wonderful friend and very talented photographer, Callie Tinney, assisted me with capturing a brief but accurate reflection of Gogo Style which can now be seen on the "Gogo Style" page. I will be updating this page frequently to showcase additional works (fingers crossed) as the word gets out about this fresh, upbeat style that combines unique vintage items with hip modern design....oh and don't forget the always present dash of FUN!

Also coming soon......Boutique Wallpaper. That's all I'm saying for now :)

Until then, enjoy this beautiful bouquet of flowers.

My New Motto!

The Big 2-0!

Some of you may find this silly but I am a firm believer in celebrating the little things in life. So......I'm celebrating my 20th follower!! I'm ignoring the fact that a lot of my followers are friends and family. I say "so what", my 20th follower is totally unsolicited. Thank you Kim at Chattafabulous. Because you took the time to comment and become a follower, I'm saying thank you by sending you this oh so cute luggage tag by Jonathan Adler. I plan on giving a gift to every 20th follower in hopes of keeping my momentum going. Just think how crazy excited I will be when I hit 100! (It will happen :)

Eye Candy (in more ways than one)

Several posts back I talked about going to the 1stdibs floor at the New York Design Center last year. It of course, was amazing but also going on while we were there was the first ever solo art exhibit by renowned photographer Greg Lotus entitled "Impressions". If you've never heard of him, you have probably seen his work. He is most famous for his work with Vogue Magazine but has also worked for Vanity Fair, GQ, etc....

Here is Greg (yum):

Unfortunately, I did not come home with one of his prints because they were $7000.00+ but I did come home with an autographed catalogue of his works. Here are some of my favorite images:

Queen of Loserville

Yes just when I thought my business card looked awesome, Emily Henderson reveals the coolest business card ever sending me into a downward spiral of pity and self loathing humming the Beck tune "I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me". Oh well, maybe one day I'll be cool enough to have a hand embossed card which means its a liquid that was stamped on with a custom made stamp,covered with gold dust which is brushed off then heated so it melts. Whateves!!

Until then, I'm Queen of Loserville with my online, non-original, mass produced card. Curse you Emily Henderson!

Business or Pleasure? We Shall See........

Ok so I've taken the next baby step and purchased "business cards". Ok well that is a strong term seeing as I really haven't started a business yet so for now we will call them "blog cards". I figure I might as well have something to hand someone if ever asked. I needed the card to capture not only my blog info but also the fact that I am a resource for finding new or vintage items for your space as well as being a stylist for a space if needed. That is a lot to capture in one card. I did my best.

I really like the way they turned out. Let me know what you think.

Flea-Bitten

No, not those type of fleas. This weekend was the Nashville Flea Market. If I'm lucky, the Flea weekend starts on a Friday and ends on Sunday. This Friday, mom and I met up with Melissa and Melanie to hunt for treasure. We arrived around 9am and I immediately found this wonderful spun fiberglass patio set from the 1960s.



















I could just see this image from House Beautiful in my head.

Unfortunately, it was out of my budget but I did come home with a very cool, very large wooden "A" in an Art Deco script. It is the latest addition to the Bombshell Boudouir decor. For some reason, it reminds me of Laverne's "L" on Laverne and Shirley or the Beverly Hills Hotel Sign font. I would love to know it's history.

After the Flea, we headed to East Nashville to my favorite local mid century modern shop Wonders on Woodland, had lunch at Mad Donnas (Turkey Melt is the best) and then headed to OMG (Old Made Good) for some funky art and vintage therapy. I found an amazing vintage blouse that will allow me to channel Emily Henderson. Yes, I am slightly obsessed with her but not in a creepy way. I plan to look just like this wearing it minus the blonde hair.

Saturday was a lot of this in the backyard taking it easy with the kids and the dogs:



















Sunday started with one more round at the Flea to see if more vendors had arrived. Surprisingly enough, I scored a mid century modern bench to go under my HOTEL sign for only $20.00!! I have to recover the cushions but I think it will look great and what a deal.

The weekend is now winding down but what a great one!
