Saving Face

There's only a few, rare occasions when vintage won't do. Bike helmets are one of those (experts tell me that the plastics in the padding break down over time). Pardon a little AVH soapbox, but, after a lot of very painful and expensive surgeries, I'm very committed to pairing cute bikes with equally cute helmets. Here's a few of my favorite, stylish ones.

No longer for sale, but I like the idea of adding some vintage silk flowers your helmet.

Favorite Fashion Accessory: Bicycles!

The weather has been phenomenal in san francisco the past few days (and I am wearing a skirt sans-tights today to prove it). That, plus the Daylight Savings shift this weekend means more evening hours to cruise the town by bike!

As these lovely ladies obviously attest - there is no fashion accessory more stylish than a bicycle (though doing it in a skirt seems more romantic than practical. Please don't judge me if I ride a bike in dirty cut-offs):
