Dace Fall 2010

DACE Fall 2010 from Dace on Vimeo.

The Fall 2010 Dace collection has landed at Summerland, I just love the video they made to present the collection. Wish I was lounging around reading love letters in my cozy Kent dress in a gorgeous mid-century house by a fog wrapped lake. That would be nice.

Dress Me Up

The Blossom Dress and Karen Walker Tote were totally made for each other! Shown with a vintage velvet jacket that will be in the shop very soon. Perfect outfit on a sunny Fall day, a rare treat in Portland.

Summerland is Open for Business!

I am so excited to finally announce that my online store Summerland is now live! Owning a shop has been a lifelong dream of mine, I am so lucky that I've been able to make it happen. I've put all my love into this new venture and I'm so happy to share it with you all.

Summerland stocks a curated selection of modern designers, housewares and print as well as vintage clothing and accessories. Here are just a few things that are currently in the shop, new arrivals are being added daily so check back often!

Thanks to everyone who has helped me along the way, especially my sweet boyfriend/web dude/cardboard box recycler. Couldn't have done this without you!

Super Swede

I stopped into a Swedish import store the other day while I was killing time before meeting up with some friends for bingo (I really know how to have a good time). This is what I came out with, though I think I probably could have bought up the whole store if I wasn't saving my money for bingo cards. In particular was an adorable dala horse serving tray that I had a really hard time passing up, as well as some pretty dishtowels and expensive lace yardage. Totally would have gone back everything if I had won big money. Next time!

Clockwise: licorice mints, an advent candle, note pad, guest soap and a wooden dala magnet. Score!

Jewels of New York

I am constantly inspired by The Jewels of New York, a catering business owned by two friends with a love for cooking and the beauty of everyday things. Under the recipes section you'll find several simple and delicious looking recipes that are gorgeously styled. I only wish that they updated more often!

Delphine Manivet

A long engagement sure does give a girl a lot of time to think about lace, flowers, white silk and champagne. I've never been the type to spend hours daydreaming about my perfect wedding but my heart skipped a beat when I came across the dress line from Delphine Manivet.

Aren't they amazing? The first one is really making me starry eyed....hopefully I'll have a chance to see them up close and personal soon!
