The Help

Go see 'The Help'. It's a really great movie in every way. In addition to loving the entire thing, we of course were smitten by the costumes. Good thing we know where you can find similar looks...

Dress to Impress - Shop Preview

Aight, guys. I know things have been slow around here at AHV, but I think things have settled enough after the wedding that we are ready to get back into the swing of things. I'm really excited about all the stuff we have stockpiled to finally make it into the shop. Dresses and jackets and sweaters and boots!

Mellow Yellow

New yellow painted toenails. Gray shag carpet...


Makes me feel like I should pair it with yellow and gray clothing, like this cute number from Thrush Vintage.

Film Inspiration: Alice in Wonderland

I went to a midnight showing of Tim Burton's new Alice in Wonderland last night, and liked it so much I didn't even yawn once despite the late hour. As always, Burton's characters are characters, and the imagery is stunning.

I especially liked the vintage feel to Alice's blue dresses, and her wonderful blue coat with rickrack dress underneath in the final scene.




Recreate the feel of an Alice dress with some vintage finds - poofy blue dress, smart spats and some fingerless wrist/hand warmers:
