Behind The Scenes: Weekend Wonders

A day in the life of a vintage obsessed, nostalgic lust, treasure hunter. We had such a blast this weekend going to estate sales, picking up old publications for inspiration, and having a photo shoot.

Girl Crush: Claire Boucher also known as Grimes

Claire Boucher the one girl army also known as Grimes has stolen my heart! Her name says it all. The singer is sometimes grimey, sweaty, makeup smeared, hair disheveled, but nonetheless a beauty in her own right. She's performing at the famed Seattle event Capitol Hill Block Party this weekend, and I'm hoping I can watch her perform, and send her away with a few goodies from our shop!

Get it Girl: Our Very First Mention on Curbed/ Seattle Racked

We got our very first mention today for Gidget on Curbed/ Seattle Racked. Such an honor to be sitting on the same bus as Capitol Hill Block Party. Read the mention below and the rest of the story here!


"Look at Me, I’m Sandra Dee: Osiris Navarro of indie extravaganza Badwill Market fame and her sister Eunice have announced their intention to launch an online vintage marketplace called Gidget later this month on July 31. According to advance press on the project, Gidget will be stocked with “yesteryear’s style for today’s sweetheart,” an allusion to the character in the 1950’s girl-next-door Gidget movies originally played by actress Sandra Dee (followed by a perky, young Sally Field). Don’t expect only 1950’s inspired vintage here, though. Navarro promises “a variety of styles whether you're a pin-up babe, hippie bohemian, disco queen, glam starlett, punk rocker or a fly-girl.”

Throwback Thursdays: Collaboration with Designer Naomi B.

Long before Gidget's conception sisters Eunice and Osiris worked on a look book with fashion designer Naomi B, and photographer Kyle Johnson (also the photographer for Gidget's debut look book). Eunice did the hair for this shoot, while Osiris styled it incorporating vintage pieces such as umbrellas, gloves, and accessories.

Match Made in Fashion: Charles Jourdan & Guy Bourdin

You know it when you see it. A beautiful silhouette, perfect legs (sometimes sans head), fancy shoes, and a juxtaposition of bright colors and dark shadows. The photographs shot by Guy Bourdin are iconic and easy to spot, but let's not forget the other half that contributed in making those images famous. French designer Charles Jourdan, most notable for his shoes. The pair worked together for over a decade between the years of 1967- 1981, delivering a series of photos that were fashion forward, artistic, and provocative, unlike other fashion campaigns at that time.
