Hallo!
The name's Willa. I live in a cutesey little small town just outside of Atlanta, Georgia.

My weaknesses include malted milk balls, bangle bracelets, blasting Sergei Prokofiev at the loudest volume, and anything pertaining to Elsa Schiaparelli.

My Style

I've been told I either dress like a housewife from the 60's or a 14 year old boy. Vintage florals are something I have a hard time passing up, the fuller the skirt, the better. Depending on the mood or occasion, I could be in a poofy vintage Dior or in head-to-toe black and gray, preferably Alexander Wang.

As far as accessories, I refuse to be one of those girls who changes her bag every single day. I have a vintage Chanel from the late 60's/early 70's on loan from a stylist friend that I use for my every day purse, and then a sparkly black 2.55 that I use at night if I remember. That's about all I need.

Shoes on the other hand, I could probably have less of. I'm confident that I have 100+ pairs, but have been afraid to count for the past couple years.

With jewelry, I pretty much throw on some bangles and am ready to go.
