HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
I had originally planned on being “Wenda” as a compliment to boyfriend’s Waldo costume. That was until about 2 hours before I had to be ready and we ran out of red tape (we were making the striped shirt: white top + red masking tape). I almost canceled Halloween, but then decided to be LIZ LEMON.
Thing is though, it didn’t really feel like a costume, because I actually...

10/29/2010: Risky Friday
So, I got dressed on Friday. I do it everyday actually. It’s pretty important really, so I decided I had to show you pictures that I got dressed. I know, I am the only one who got dressed on Friday {sarcasam}.
Anyways, I wore this to work on Friday. I work in pretty conservative environment where people pretty much where scrubs or black. I feel pretty uninspired by my workplace and...

Wear this Instead!
Instead of this JCrew poncho which costs $1,195….
GO VINTAGE and try one of these options instead! It’s not only good for the environment, it’s good for your wallet too! :)
On the Road
That’s right, ya’ll, Mitu Vintage went on the road tonight and I am Texas sized-excited about it! On a quest to become “stylish”, my friend, Rachel, invited me to her house to help, along with her friend, Lisa (who was adorable!!). She even asked me to bring some of my vintage clothes to try on!
First things first though, she IS stylish. Her closet was full of GREAT...
See ya next summer, Mad Men!
All I have to say about the finale is that Don Draper is one of the most frustrating human beings character on the planet T.V. I loved the finale and have full confidence that Matthew Weiner knows where he is going and what he is doing with Season 5.
With that said, has anyone else noticed the definite shift in the costumes on the show as compared to the first season? As the show has progressed...
10/15/2010: Carb Loading
Friday night, bf and I went for Italian food and drinks with some friends in Pioneer Square. We went to Cafe Begodi and bf and I shared mushroom risotto and mushroom pizza (we love mushrooms). Both were good by themselves but not together.
And I wore this outfit. This is actually from Saturday, because with the daylight situation these days, it is nearly impossible to get home from work, get...
Baby Mitu Vintage Update
Three items are new in the shop tonight! Someday, I want to have a pretty color coded or themed shop update for you like Sally Jane Vintage or Dear Golden. Unfortunately, though, I don’t have that kind of volume…so three for now will have to suffice.

The Head Eating Hair Bow
In 6th grade, I was obsessed obsessed obsessed with American Girl, especially Samantha (I cannot believe my parents spent $90 on the doll for me, oh the guilt!). I pretty much lived it and was obsessed with 1904 and Victorian times. And let’s not forget the hair bows in “A Little Princess”!
Anyways, I had these big hair bows I would wear to school and I would try to pretend I...
It's That Time of the Year, Pt 2
Recipes by Irma
While we were getting our organic, locally grown produce, we decided to make dinner with some of it, naturally, and out came The Joy of Cooking. And what makes more sense than Potato Leek Soup! I will not post the recipe here, but I have made it before and I must tell you that it was far superior using these ingredients than when I have made it with the yucky old Safeway produce....
It's That Time of the Year, Part 1
In honor of my obsession with all things pumpkin/Autumn related, I asked bf take me to the pumpkin patch on Sunday to pick a pumpkin. We tried to go last year, but I was disheartened by the fact that the pumpkin patch was just a bunch of pumpkins sitting right next to each other, the screaming children, and the fact that they were all sitting in about 5 inches of mud.
This year was only slightly...

More Thoughts: Project Runway
This is something I could totally see myself wearing or recreating—stripes and houndstooth! Yes please!
Being sick with a pretty bad cold the last few days has afforded me the opportunity to come home from work and watch Project Runway all night. I finally got caught up last night and, while I wasn’t initially impressed with this group of designers, they have grown on me. I think...
Thoughts on an Estate Sale
Estate sales are fascinating to me on several levels. Like I talked about last week, exploring old houses are interesting, but on another level, estate sale houses usually have a defining decade to them. A time when the family or couple were first decorating, when they were young and fashionable, or when they were most involved with trends and style. Sometimes, you just can’t tell....
