GUEST POST SUNDAY - Le Skinny

GUEST POST SUNDAY

Meet Erica from Le Skinny

The beautiful face behind one of my favorite vintage shops. She has a great selection of vintage clothing & shoes! I love following Erica on Instagram; she has the most adorable twin daughters, ever! I'm honored to have her guest posting about her holiday season!

Threadesque friends and followers! I am Erica of Le Skinny Vintage. 
I am a vintage clothing/accessory fein & stay at home mama to twin girls
Emma Blue and Gwenny Rose. I thought I would share bits of our 
crazy little Christmas at Nani & Papi's. 

 1. Pug Mafia- Zeus, Annie & Lola are the rulers of the roost.

 2. Twins' new snowsuits from Nani & Papi.

 3. Kisses from Dada.

4. Christmas breakfast tradition. My mom's fantasy french toast. Seriously try this recipe. Melted Caramilk pieces inside, yum! 

You can find the recipe: HERE

 5. Great-great Grandma Helen passed out. Lay off the liquor, it's still early. 

 6. Owl handprint canvases the babes made for their grandparents for Christmas. Click HERE for a tutorial!

Here are my favorite gifts the girls received from us:

7. Booties I made the girls from old, vintage leather & fabric. Try out the pattern HERE

                                      8. Mexican print leggings by Tamè on Etsy                                   　

9. Family time. 

10. Funglish was the Christmas Eve game of the night. Great game that get's a little dirty by accident.　

This year I keep my New Year's resolution simple. Love. Love my babies no matter how crazy or stinky they are. Love my husband for everything that he is. Love every item I choose to be in my store. Love myself for who I am now, not who I used to be.

I hope this New Year brings you joy.

much love x

Erica

RoseVintage Shoot

I styled an amazing shoot for RoseVintage & Cluney Photography a few weeks ago! It was incredibly easy working with our beautiful model, Avery! We shot for two days. The first day was inspired by a vintage urban city girl. I loved layering boho blouses with oversized plaid shirts & denim. The second day was vintage hollywood glam meets holiday chic. Vintage holiday dresses & blouses in shades of red, green & gold! What do you think?

DIY Glitter Ornaments

Hi friends! It was such a pleasure guest posting for A Cup of T! I decided to share the post on here just in case you missed it! Sorry I haven't posted much lately, I'm in Michigan visiting family for Christmas. I will try my best to post as often as possible! 

What you need:

Glitter(I finally bought the 24 pack of Martha Stewart glitter!)

Ornaments

Glitter glue

Paint brush 

Pick your glitter colors! After much consideration, I went with traditional Christmas colors, red & green! 

Step 1: Use your glitter glue pen to draw your initial on the ornament

Quick tip - If you mess up, you can easily fix with a q-tip! 

Step 2: Sprinkle glitter onto the glue! 

Quick tip - The more the better!

Step 3: Let the glue dry! While you wait I highly suggest listening to the She&Him Christmas album & drinking hot cocoa!

Step 4: After the glue dries, gently tap the ornament to remove the excess glitter. Use a tiny paint brush to tidy up the edges.

Step 5: Hang on your tree! 

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
