“I’m wearing an 80s blazer, 90s gold harem pants, reworked 90s boots, 30s beaded bag, and a gold turban. My style is inspired by all things vintage. I love bringing past beautiful items back to life and styling them in a current way.”

"Wilting like daisies and Hopping like fish, students at Barnard College in New York fill a college requirement in relaxation. Having found that too many students are too tense, Barnard has inaugurated a session in relaxation in its Physical Education Department which every freshman must attend."
Photos 1 and 2: "The mandatory relaxation class at Barnard College included this “dropping daisy” exercise which was done in seven steps, moving in a slow progression from standing tall to laying on the floor."
Photo 4: "Flopping fish exercise consists of rotating hips, then falling limp. Professor Marion Streng (foreground) helps student."
Photographed by Walter Sanders for the February 8, 1954 issue of LIFE Magazine.

“I found this 50s dress at a vintage-by-the-pound place in Williamsburg floating in a sea of Y2K and 80s acetate. It’s absolutely homemade and my guess is that it was likely the result of an old Vogue or Simplicity pattern. She’s flannel with shell buttons and she’s really special. I collect colorful square-crown wide-brim hats. This one is nothing special, but the color sure is. I was given the scarf, and the sweater is a recent eBay find. The shoes are Carel. I find as I get older, I gravitate toward more quality textiles and classier silhouettes. It helps to distract from the dumpster fire that is my existence.”
