Shop / Music: Vintage Pop-Up Market + These United States

This weekend I'll be at a revival...and probably singing my hallelujahs, all because 60+ curators of vintage, designers, artists, etc. will be at The Goat Farm in West Midtown, selling their wares and converting the masses through the joy of the vintage experience. There are even workshops on interior design, vintage styling and reworking! Check the schedule here, and get on that!

I'm excited to simply find out about Revival of Vintage! They have Vintage "Mission Trips," support a community of designers and host Pop-Ups like these. Sign me up!

BONUS: After a day of laborious vintage shopping and recovery time by the pool or in an air-conditioned haven, you're going to really need some rock & roll and more beer. That's why it's perfection that These United States are playing the EARL in East Atlanta on Saturday night (June 30 at 9:30 p.m.). Check them out and listen to their great new album below (via Paste Magazine), then buy it, then buy your tickets for the show. It's really that simple. Cheers to the weekend, yall!

South's Finest: imogene + willie

I'm of the opinion that there should pretty much always be a story behind what you're wearing. Whether it's a ring you nabbed from your mother (this is an example, mom, I'm just borrowing that cameo), the perfect scarf you found on a trip with friends, or even that damned amazing pair of shoes you had to have and spent way too much time and money tracking down (so worth it in the end)...

Can you say the same for your denim, though?

If you aren't familiar with Nashville's imogene + willie, I encourage you to read their story HERE or watch the following video intro before you even look at the jeans...the word "jeans" doesn't even cut it. In their own words: "All design, fit development, pattern making, and finishing touches are done at our shop in Nashville, TN. imogene + willie jeans have been, and will always be, made in the USA." These are passionate people with a beautiful talent, and their story couldn't be more American than our love of indigo and the entrepreneurial spirit!

The product is so beautiful, and the proof is in the pudding. Pudding that's photographed and Tumblr'ed by Joshua Black Wilkins at various states of aged perfection on the blog LOVE FADES. Also, read their blog and check out the [good] music they like on Our Voice.

I don't have a pair of these beauties yet and make due with my favorite 501's, but I'm scheming for a Nashville trip ASAP (twist my arm) to attend one of their supper + songs, live shows put on in the backyard behind their renovated gas station storefront - seriously, could they be any cooler? And at that perfect moment, I will slide this hiney into my very own pair of Imogene Rigids. Oh blessed day...

I do hope that you're in the market for some i + w's, but in the meantime...

Fashion: Street Style, The Resort Report

Resort collections are such a tease. It's a great way to see what's coming, as designers test the waters for what's well received, but sometimes it just feel like a hold out for bigger and better things this fall with the Spring 2013 shows!

That said, the following "street style" shots should suffice for inspiration more than poring over the presentations of model after model (available for your viewing pleasure on here at Style.com). I borrowed the following from Harper's Bazaar, shot by Mr. Newton, hope you enjoy!

So this is Natalie Joos, an NYC model casting agent with amazing style and the most incredible closet of vintage. I love her blog, Tales of Endearment!

Video break: Watch this video of her prepping for and attending the Chanel Little Black Jacket fete and try not to be obsessed with her!
