i'm in love...

...yes, it had to happen sooner or later.

after reading the lovely katherine's blog and seeing her lush examples on a recent blog-hop, i immediately went and downloaded these complete beauties by danielle thompson from over at jessicasprague.com, seriously swoon. i love vintage at the best of times but these are too immense to ignore... i love them... honestly.

they obviously needed to be used, like, straight away so i went about finding an image to suit, as you do. enter a photo of girly at the hairdressers, wondering what the hell that spaceman-esque helmet is, cracking photo...

however, it didn't quite say 'vintage chic' to me so i figured i'd mix up my photo with an overlay from jen allyson's adorn antique-it, also bringing the contrast down, desaturating the pic to about 20% and increasing the yellow tones to get a kind of seventies-retro look going on.

too cool for school, seriously. cheers katherine for your post! off to find some more vintage lushness :)
