I give you: Avalon on @lovecatalinaisland where book 2 of my Marjorie stories will be set, beneath the sunshine and among the waves where more than plenty of the island's share of breezy and glamorous history wait on the shores. I was so happy to spend a few days visiting and getting all the inspiration that I could, and can't wait until Travelers in Paradise is ready for you all to read in the next year! Definitely recommend @visitcatalinaisland and @catalinamuseum for your go-to references โ˜€๏ธ #vintagetravels #catalinaisland #indieauthor #writinginspo #beachread

My favorite vintage accessory for Day 12 of @thevintagefashionchallenge ? My girl Elenore, a beautiful blue @retrospec bike I've had for four years now ๐Ÿšฒ Not only is she a showstopper, but living close to town has been the most whimsical commute, riding her just makes me truly feel like a main character, especially with my vintage style ๐Ÿ˜Š #vintageaesthetic #vintagestyle #retrostyle #bikepretty #vintagefashionchallenge

Favorite decade for Day 10 of @thevintagefashionchallenge โœจ๏ธโœˆ๏ธ๐Ÿฅƒ 1960s were such an imperative moment in history, full of big and rapid social and cultural change, and I am fascinated by the blend of old with the new in little than the ten years it took, especially how it all came about in the music, films, and fashion. One of my favorite "time traveling" moments I had back to the 1960s happened when me and my husband stayed at @twahotel for my 30th birthday, the best way to usher in a new decade of my own! If you're ever flying into JFK Airport, this spot is a must-see! Peep a cameo from @dblatecky43 #vintageaesthetic #vintagestyle #vintagefashion #1960s #twahotel

Only one dress can say it all for metallics/neutrals on Day 8 and 9 of @thevintagefashionchallenge and that's this evening jacquard @tatyanaclothing dress โœจ๏ธ From anniversaries to concerts and even time travels back to 1960s New York, she's been my ride or die for these last 5 years ๐Ÿ’‹ #vintagefashionchallenge #vintagestyle #vintageaesthetic #vintagefashion #pinupstyle

My favorite singer @stephensanchezofficial releases his second album LOVE, LOVE, LOVE tomorrow and so I felt like posting this shoutout to him! Just great art inspiring art, as the Angel Face album led to me writing my own retro story โค๏ธ I can't wait to listen to the new album ahead of writing book 2!! #stephensanchez #retrovibes #vintagestyle #indieauthor #vintageaesthetic

Day 6 for @thevintagefashionchallenge is everything pink! It used to be another color I never wore when I was younger, but it wasn't until dressing vintage that I realized how stunning and powerful a shade it truly can be, and that a warm, peachy shade does wonders for me ๐ŸŒธ #vintagefashionchallenge #retrostyle #vintagestyle #pinupstyle #vintageaesthetic

A color that's healed me on Day 4 of @thevintagefashionchallenge โ˜€๏ธ Yellow was a color I avoided for the longest time-- too announced, too loud, and in a little more of a complicated outlook, I didn't want to wear it because as an Asian American I didn't want to lean into the negative connotations the color had (Power Ranger Trini was a badass but it definitely was a choice to put her in yellow). But then there was THIS dress from @uniquevintage inspired by the day shopper blue Barbie dress and I couldn't resist-- I had too much blue and red in my wardrobe, and I was ready for a fun change, and this color looked so pretty, soft and buttery. This dress gave me confidence to finally embrace this bold but yet gentle and moving color. Reclaiming the color yellow has been one of my favorite unexpected outcomes since wearing vintage style and it's made styling such an adventure, and easier to radiate my natural warm and welcoming personality, even when I'm not talking ๐Ÿคญ๐Ÿ’› #vintsgestylechallenge #vintagestyle #vintageaesthetic #retrostyle #vintagefashion
