Dear Friends, Admittedly my head has been in the clouds as of late. My thoughts caught somewhere between dreams and plans, past and present, hopes and reality. It's that season in France where the rain is unceasing and it both brings comfort and a longing that ebbs deeper to feel the sun on my skin again. This week's new arrivals of...

At the start of a brand new year I spend a great deal of time thinking about how I may improve myself this year. I stopped making New Year's Resolutions about a decade ago (that blog post exists somewhere in the internet still, I am sure) and instead hold steadfast to Henry David Thoreau's quote, "Live the life you have...

The savadyblog girl is timeless and feminine and has a penchant for romantic details inspired by the past. After over a decade of selling only vintage and antique garments, I consider myself very well versed in color palettes, prints, details, and silhouettes of different eras and how to translate it for the modern girl in subtle and sometimes not to...

Well, I've completely fallen off the bandwagon of doing my monthly ode to my favorite vintage lifestyle magazine ever... however, this is an extra special post because it features the December 1988 issue from my collection of vintage Victoria magazines and it is one of the EARLIEST issues! The first issue of Victoria I believe was a Spring/Summer issue that...

Most could agree that 2020 has been a year where so much loss has happened, though I have found myself being reminded more and more of how much I have in this world to be grateful for especially during the past few days where I took a REAL break from the world of savadyblog. At the beginning of every year...

It's been quite awhile since we've done a Shop Scenes post here in the Journal, our last shop scenes was back in February PC (pre covid). Pre everything changing at a drop of a pin, every which way and what way. The biggest change to our retail store is we moved the savadyblog retail shop which you can read more...

Perhaps going for a walk through the woods wasn't the best idea. You glance through the treetops ahead and notice the sky darkening somewhat ominously, a light drizzle has already begun to fall and you wrap your arms tightly around yourself feeling your teeth slightly chatter.  You could go back to the cabin. Start a fire. Make some hot cocoa and...

I have always had an affinity for antique textiles dating from the 17th to 18th century most notably Indian block prints and patterns inspired by Indian textiles in French and English fabric manufacturing. Since I am not a fabric or textile expert by any stretch of the imagination, this post is mostly for aesthetics since I am in the "dreaming phase"...

Right now we're trying to be mindful of being present and focusing on the things we can do and control. I'm not quite sure who said this, but it's touching a chord with us this week here at AV HQ. "Yesterday was heavy, put it down." And so that is what we are trying to do. We've voted, we've researched, and...

Here at savadyblog we endeavor to hold space in the world that is calming, inspiring, and a respite from the noise and chaos that occurs in the world around us. It may seem trivial, but we believe that taking time and pausing to appreciate the little moments and things of beauty will make for a better world, even if it's...
