Can't decide which visitor makes us smile bigger... Gruppa the pup or Karyn the superstar? Okay, Karyn wins because she knows how to boogie!

RoseVintage for the Gents Photo Shoot!

Yesterday I announced RoseVintage for the G E N T S! 

I hope you're as excited as I am! Here's a few of my favorite shots from our men's shoot with Cody Martell! Isn't he a cutie? ;)

RoseVintage for the Gents!

Hey you, yeah.. YOU! 

We have exciting news for all of you RoseVintage fans! 

One of the top questions we received this summer while on tour with our mobile shop was, "Do you sell mens clothing"? Of course we had to say no. I personally hate having to respond with the word "NO" to anything. So I started searching thrift stores & estate sales for menswear. This was such a new territory for me being that I have NEVER worked with mens clothing. I asked for my fiance, Donovan's help a lot. What's your favorite piece of clothing? What do you look for while thrifting? Favorite brands, fabric, style? What inspires you? How much are you willing to pay for a shirt, jeans, shoes? Even though he's not into fashion by any means, he was a GREAT help & had lots of answers!

My little sister's friend, Cody Martell, modeled for our VERY FIRST RoseVintage menswear photo shoot. He has amazing style & an even better personality so I knew he would be the perfect fit!

The next step was picking a name for the new mens section of our vintage shop! Easier said than done. After much debate between "menswear" or "dudes". I turned to my Facebook friends for help. Many of my friends & family made amazing suggestions but the one that I couldn't stop smiling about was "gents". 

So here it is... we're announcing RoseVintage for the Gents! We have stacks of vintage Pendleton flannels, silk skinny ties & knitted amazingness!

STYLE CRUSH - Clémence Poésy

S T Y L E   C R U S H 

Clémence Poésy

The first time I stumbled upon this french beauty was while watching a Gossip Girl episode. I thought she looked extremely familiar but didn't realize until watching Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, that she was in a previous Harry Potter movie. After seeing her pop up in several different magazines, she quickly became one of my "style crushes".

Apple Orchard Love

One of my favorite places on earth is the Erie Apple Orchard. Living in Montana for the last three years, I was definitely deprived of cider & donuts. So I made sure to make it my number one priority to get my fix of macintosh apples, fresh apple cider & donuts! Mariah & I nearly ate a dozen of donuts to ourselves.. yikes. It was SO worth it though! 

 Have you been to an apple orchard or pumpkin patch yet this fall? 

What fall traditions do you have? 

XO,

FALL in love with RoseVintage

Hi my loves! I'm currently in Michigan working on a few projects. I love being here because I get to be with my family. Speaking of family, my little sister, Mariah & I have a nice little thing going. She models for RoseVintage & I take photos. We work really well together, sometimes I think we have the same brain! 

This past weekend we pulled up to an abandoned farm in Monroe, MI. Set up a little styling station out of my car & started snapping away! I'm pretty happy with the results. What do you think? 

P.S. Many thanks to Mariah Balk & Kaila Emerick for all of your help! 

XO,

Sam
