We moved!

Hi my loves! :) My oh my, do I have exciting news for you! We moved & have a new pretty home for RoseVintage & blogging,

 www.rose-vintage.com

Three years ago I started Threadesque (a lifestyle inspired by fashion) & it has blossomed into a business, RoseVintage! I wouldn't be able to do this without you all! Thank you so much for following & I hope to see you on the new site! 

XO,

Back to Plaid

After stuffing our faces on Thanksgiving day, Mariah & I decided to do a little photo shoot for RoseVintage! We shot it at the same place Dono & I had our senior photos taken... 5 years ago, WHOA! For styling I was inspired by primary colors, back to school & the rustic location!

All of these items are available at:

Home for the Holidays!

A few weekends ago I had the pleasure of shooting my little sister, Mariah for our Home for the Holidays RoseVintage shoot! We found an amazing abandoned farm in Monroe, MI (our hometown) & explored it with bundles of vintage clothing & a camera! Hope you all had an amazing Thanksgiving! I can't wait to start decking the halls!

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! 

Head over to http://www.etsy.com/shop/samanthabalk to shop now!

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
