Dear Golden – Vintage Shop

Dear Golden – Vintage Shop

Do you enjoy quality clothing? Do you like spectacular vintage fashion? If you answered yes to either of those questions,  make your way as fast as possible to Dear Golden – an online vintage shop with a store front in downtown Ypsilanti.

However, if you get slightly aroused/salavate at the sight of lovely clothing, proceed with caution. I tell you no lies – this is the cream of the crop as far as curated vintage shops go. You get a little weak in the knees entering the store because you feel like you’ve traveled back into the dressing rooms of the classiest ladies from every decade. Wall to wall vintage wedding dresses, cocktail dresses, shoes, handbags, jewelry, coats and hats .

I was searching for a pair of shoes to go with a custom dress made by  THREADBEAT  (who is a first class seamstress and a magician at making very specific clothing dreams come true in no time at all). I brought a photo of the dress to Dear Golden’s owner – the quick witted and brilliant Lauren Naimola .

After briefly looking at the entire wall of gorgeous shoes, within moments I was handed the most perfect pair of black kitten heels to go with my dress (they were just my size!!)

Viola!

*sigh* (they’re so comfortable, barely worn and they were a bargin!) I want to buy them all over again.

 Okay, you’ve been sent on a mission – experience Dear Golden for yourselves. <3

Henna for men

Here’s a henna design for my good friend Matt – he’s on a 60 day trip around the United States and he stopped into Ypsilanti for a visit with us. He wanted a henna tattoo the symbolized life on one side and death on the other so I did a vine that looked like Spring and a vine that looked like Fall. He really likes it. He’s about half way through his trip so he will have his henna design for 2 of the final weeks of his journey. where to inject ivermectin in goats

I met with a great bride-to-be today at my henna salon. She’s marrying her fiance in Mackinaw Island and came to Ypsilanti first to have her bridal henna for her wedding. She really liked the paisley / floral design for the top of her arms. Here are the pics. I can’t wait to see the photos from her wedding.

Bird Design Henna

Bird Design Henna

Here are a few pics from a henna session last night at the salon. A family came in to have henna tattoos to celebrate their cousin coming back into town from Washington D.C. where she was an intern at NPR ‘s “All Things Considered”  . That’s such a cool position!

Anyways, on to the pictures of the bird design henna on the hand – I think this bird is a sparrow.  The other designs are two hand designs and a foot tattoo. One is a triquetra turned into a flower and the other hand is a floral henna design recreation from an ebook.  The foot was a custom request for a henna ankle bracelet with the flower falling down her foot.

Henna Party in Traverse City, Michigan

Henna Party in Traverse City, Michigan

Here are the photos for the Indian henna party in Traverse City, Michigan. It was a fusion wedding- so there were lots of people unfamiliar with henna which made it fun for me to explain the art of henna to them. Also, I really love Traverse City and eating at Amical – one of my favorite restaurants.

Here are the pics:

Henna Tree Tattoo

Henna Tree Tattoo

Here’s a henna tree tattoo design my client requested for her birthday – a slender short tree, small root system with fantastical, spreading, intricate & elaborate braches stretching from her lower back up and over her shoulder. She as thrilled to see the end result. I hope you like it, too.

I got an opportunity to do a private henna appointment recently where the client requested a design that represented “strength and beauty” so we collaborated and I did this bird henna design on her back. I hope you enjoy it.

I love doing henna tattoos for men – it really gets me to stretch my “henna tattoo muscle” outside of flowers & paisleys . Today I got to do henna tattoo for a cool guy who wanted a nature scene on his arm, with a different wave, inspired by a Sublime box set cover here :

Here’s my take on it because he wanted a more abstract wave :

Today I got to meet a lot of great girls for a cute, girly birthday party here in Ann Arbor. They had a yoga instructor to work with all the girls, personalized yoga mat party favors, a slip and slide, pastel-colored cupcakes and me! (doing henna for all the girls) It was a blast. <3 Here are just two quick pictures I snapped while I did at the henna party .
