Mid Century Road Runner Wall Hanging

Meep meep. Looking to decorate your new apartment or spruce up your home office. You can catch this roadrunner from Browse Burgh. Head over to @browseburgh to pursue some of their other home decor items. 

Vintage Graphic Wolf Crewneck

This week’s vintage throwback is a graphic crewneck featuring a lovely, pensive wolf. With temps starting to cool a bit, it’ll be sweater season soon enough.  We’re loving the neon blue tree line and star-filled sky on this damage-free find. Although it’s listed as a size XL, it fits tighter (think M / L).

This week’s vintage throwback is a flawless 1960s dress with embroidered flowers. This item is dead stock – it even comes with the original tags – and features one pocket on the right side.

Hawaiian Punch Swim Trunks

The perfect pair of vintage swim trunks. @MudRoomVintage has these cotton swim trunks for sale in their Etsy shop. The brand is Paul Howard California and the size is large. See #linkinbio for all of the details.
