The time has arrived...

It is my favorite time of year, ok yes, Summer but more importantly, Mad Men Season 4 premiere!!! I have been anticipating this all year long. It is literally my favorite show of all time. Well written, beautifully directed and the costume, Janie Bryant is a genius.

When I started watching this show, I honestly didn't expect much. There have been so many shows that have tried to do this and could not seem to get it right. The costume is always off, the timeline is missing important details, all in all its just wrong. Then Mad Men came along and got everything right. The writing alone would make up for any mistakes. Symbolism done right and the dialogue is not overdone. Thank you to AMC for developing a much needed brilliant show. And as much as you want to scream at the chauvinistic men and the weak willed women, you see their flaws and begin to relate to them in ways unexpected. As much as you want hate Don Draper and his frivolous behavior, you pity him and realize why he is the way he is. These characters have come so far and have changed so much in the 4 years of their lives with Sterling Cooper, I can't wait to see what 1964 and 1965 will bring to them.

I do have to thank Janie Bryant for being one of my favorite costume stylists for bringing such inspiration to Sunday nights. She has made men and women everywhere want to dress better and reminded us of what true style looks like!

Here are some sneak peek photos of the Season upon us!!

The women looking absolutely breathtaking!

A Bazaar, Timeout and ....

I unfortunately have been under the weather all weekend and most of the week so I have not been able to do all of what needs to be done with my new Blog that will be starting soon. I have decided to leave this blog behind and start a blog on wordpress.com. It will simply be dethrosevintage.wordpress.com. No posts as of yet, still working out all the kinks, but very very soon!

As I have mentioned, Dethrose Vintage is celebrating its launch with a 25% off sale storewide, on all merchandise including Sale!! I have so many new vintage items, I have to make room for it all. And if you are in the Chicago area August 22nd, I will be having an x-large booth at this seasons Vintage Bazaar!! I am so very excited and can't wait to see the turnout, considering last year there was a line around the block and I sold half of my store!! One can only hope this will be the same dream come true this time around. A big thank you to Katherine and Libby, the 2 lovely women who make this amazing pop up flea market happen. It is literally the most fun I have ever had!! So I hope to see you all there!!

Another celebration is to be had, Dethrose Vintage was featured in the Chicago Magazine Timeout! I didn't tell anyone about it because I wanted to wait till it came out. Well today was the day. I am super happy about it and I really want to thank all the lovely people from Timeout, Kevin and Nicole were oh so very awesome and so welcoming!! So click Here to read the article and thank you all for your support:) Love ya all!!!

Changing my blog/Etsy and Shop update!

Hi all. So I need help. I am changing my name of my blog and Etsy Store. At the end of this month I will be no longer Max and Chloe Vintage. I will have a different name all together. I will let you know of the all the changes when the time is right. This is very sad but it had come to my attention that I know longer can be called Max & Chloe Vintage. Long story, but I do not want to lose any of you as readers and followers of my blog and Etsy. So here is where the help is needed. If any of you have any advice or tips or experiences of having to change your blog and/or Etsy store names or logos please let me know the easiest possible way to do this transition. I would greatly appreciate any feedback! Thank you very very much:)

Weekend Woes

I hope everyone had an amazing 4th! Mine was oh so bittersweet. Spontaneously, I decided to go home to southern Illinois for the 4th. I wanted to get away if only for the day. Smell the fresh cut grass, hear the locusts sing me to sleep and enjoy the calmness of home. A mellow ease fell over me as soon as I left the city limits. I instantly knew my Sunday was going to be what I've been missing.

*dress will be up for sale tomorrow in the late evening*

I awoke at my family's house, I seriously got the best sleep I have had in months, set out to prepare for an afternoon of grilling and lounging. Chicken kabobs with avocado glaze and fresh lemon, cucumber salad and a refreshing fruit salad was on the menu! Yummy indeed! Not to mention, the best black tea with fresh raspberries!! It was perfection, laughing with my mom and brother Jon and my adorable sister in law Heidi. It's probably my favorite treat when I go home.

Now don't get me wrong, I love Chicago, but when I'm there, I don't want to leave. That's why it is always so hard for me to take enough time off from work to go there. I never can take enough. I so much want to buy a little house somewhere small that can give me the same feeling of home. A beautiful yard, a quaint little house with screen doors, a clothing line and a porch. I don't think I'd rather be anywhere else in the evening than on a little porch enjoying the night air and the quiet, yet loud noises of locusts singing in the night. Taking photos of my vintage finds and playing dress up all day long and sending off my pretty little packages of vintage goodies to the lovely people who enjoy them.

My Mom, Sharyn and my favorite kitty, Orange Kitty...yes, that's it name.

One of my favorite parts of the trip, there are may, was spending much needed time with my dear friend Wes. Sitting on the porch enjoying the late night air and then taking a long long drive on all the back dirt roads talking about life and listening to good music. It really makes the stresses of everyday life seem so small and unimportant. Everything suddenly calm, relaxed and easy.

I love my family very much. Despite differences and distance, I feel closer to them now than I ever have in my life. My efforts this year to see them more and talk to them about things that are more important than the typical "how are things" will be my most important goal. Support and love for and from family and friends is what will make this the year what I need it to be.
