Vintage cowboy boots, resoled

February 26, 2014June 4, 2019 - Ali Burtt Leave a comment

While it’s probably pretty obvious that I love furniture, my love of boots might be a little less obvious. It all started about 15 years ago when I worked at a winery in California. Though I was in the tasting room, the setting was rural and at least a couple times a day, I woundRead more

Outfit Post: White Jeans for Fall

September 27, 2013 - Ali Burtt Leave a comment

The house has smelled like caramel for over a week. It’s not a bad problem to have, but I now have my homemade caramel recipe memorized. More about that on Monday. You might think that’s a weird lead-in to a fashion post, but it’s relevant, I swear. See, fall is my favorite time to bake.Read more

Outfit Post: Trina Turk Silk Top

September 13, 2013 - Ali Burtt Leave a comment

A few weeks ago, I had some tremendous luck at the outlets. Nordstrom Rack had a bunch of new clearance stuff and while flipping through the sale rack, I found this Trina Turk top. I loved the color, it was my size and guess what? $5! Yep, the tag said it was something like 98%Read more

One Piece Many Ways: Silver Sequin Tank

September 3, 2013 - Ali Burtt Leave a comment

Here’s a rare peek into my closet, with a little bit of vintage thrown in of course! For this edition of One Piece Many Ways (where I’m linking up with Audrey over at Putting Me Together), I chose to style a silver sequined tank top. This is the kind of thing that on the faceRead more

One Piece Many Ways Link-Up: Unique Vintage Dress

July 26, 2013 - Ali Burtt Leave a comment

Audrey over at Putting Me Together is hosting a link-up next week. She’s calling it One Piece Many Ways. Audrey challenged her readers to take one piece of clothing from their closets and style it in at least two ways. Since I love repurposing things, I figured I’d give it a shot. It’s not likeRead more

Leaving on a jet plane with just one suitcase

June 14, 2013 - Ali Burtt Leave a comment

I don’t blog much about fashion, though if you follow me on Instagram, you may see a little more. My style is pretty basic. I’m not trendy. I don’t do designer anything. And any purchase over $50 is a total splurge. Back when I did the Get Dressed Challenge in November of last year, IRead more

Get Dressed Day 27: Errands and Projects

November 27, 2012 - Ali Burtt Leave a comment

I bet you thought I forgot about this challenge! I haven’t. I just decided that posting an outfit picture a day was actually kind of a lot of work and so it fell off while I was baking for shows back in mid-November. I have only had a day or two where I was allRead more

Get Dressed Days 7 & 8 – Thrifting, thrifting & thrifting

November 9, 2012 - Ali Burtt Leave a comment

When I started posting some of my old vintage stuff that I wasn’t as excited about any more back in August, I wasn’t really expecting my little store to take off the way it has. In three months, I’ve sold a lot of stuff, some of which was purpose-bought for the store. As in, IRead more

Get Dressed Day 6 – Election Day

November 7, 2012 - Ali Burtt Leave a comment

Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock (or aren’t an American), you probably noticed that today is election day. I voted this morning at the crack of dawn because my husband had to git ‘er done prior to boarding his train to go to work. We brought Chester and because it was still dark andRead more

Get Dressed Day 5 – Oops. But I made a cake.

November 6, 2012 - Ali Burtt Leave a comment

Hey, four straight days of getting dressed in something other than yoga pants isn’t bad, right? Today I got up, fed and walked the dog, ate breakfast and then got started baking. Okay, so it’s not really an excuse. But just LOOK at this. This is a Chocolate Nutter Butter Cake. Isn’t it pretty? IRead more
