Shop Journal

This week's timeless and feminine outfit ideas are inspired by classic French girl looks. These outfits are all composed of pieces that you can wear season after season, year after year from classic denim jeans to pretty button up blouses and a feminine trench coat... You can shop more French Girl inspired looks in our collection: LE FRENCH MUSE

The year 2020 has been nothing short of changes and adaptions, so moving our retail shop doesn't feel all that monumental considering all the many different ups and downs we all have had to traverse this year (and there's still the election!) You see dear reader, to be quite honest, I am tired. This summer I officially entered my late...

We're so excited to share that our new "Lifestyle" department here at savadyblog is getting a lot of new additions soon in the Self Care  (beauty and bath) department. All of the gals and I here at savadyblog love taking baths and believe it is one of the simple little pleasures of life that one should reward ones...

We've been doing a lot of organizing and tidying up around AV HQ and I recently came across so many different "mini lookbooks" that I've shot over the past couple of years and realized I've never shared them. Most of the photos live on the homepage for a little while, but there isn't anywhere here at savadyblog where you can see anymore...

My dreams, schemes, and plans for savadyblog's first brick and mortar has changed quite a lot due to Covid and to be quite honest I have decided to scale back on plans for the retail shop until some time in the future (bit hard to set plans these days). In the meantime I have been returning to searching and...

Our little corner of the world has felt even more topsy turvy as of late, and that's putting it very mildly. I closed the shop for the weekend as fire evacuations neared closer to closer to France and the air quality index rose above hazardous levels. I say this without any irony, but it's been quite a year! In all...

Sylvie dropped her small suitcase in the hall, the soft thud of the leather case lightly echoed along the wallpapered walls. She let out a soft sigh mingled with hope and grief as she glanced around her new home. New in some ways, though familiar in many ways.  Mid morning light streamed in through the lace curtained windows and as Sylvie...

In August I find myself always drawn to mauves, muted pinks, and soft rusts to accent the whites and creams in my wardrobe and I feel this is quite an August color scheme. When I am making decisions for what to bring into the shop, I tend to select items based on my mood or whatever has been inspiring me the...

A few months ago I deleted my personal Facebook account after musing about it for over a year. I could never quite pull the plug but one day I just did it. I have really, truly enjoyed not having Facebook and honestly thought I'd only last a couple of weeks. Turns out, I was missing living my actual life instead of...

I've never cared much for hot weather, which is surprising since I'm from the Philippines and for a good portion of my life lived in Texas and southern California... Perhaps it is because hot weather makes me so drowsy and makes me feel lazy. I'm quite sure I resemble a grumpy desert lizard most of summer. I've never had a pep in...

The old library stood stoically at the end of the street, a burnished red brick building with simple white pillars showing years of wear and tear. The weather is overcast, the clouds promising a late afternoon shower and you quicken your pace down the hedge lined path tugging at the sleeves of your cardigan sweater and adjusting your hair scarf. As you...

Here at savadyblog we ardently believe that abiding by Henry David Thoreau's quote "live the life you have always imagined" doesn't mean living a life of extravagance and luxury. Quite the opposite really as we aspire to live lives of simple and attainable beauty rooted in kindness, nature, and community. This small sampling of found vintage photos from the...
