Hill country

I want to take a moment and introduce you all to my current partner: Moonshine Hill. Moonshine Hill stocks wares for men, women, and the home (how badly do I want this little red tractor for my non-existent mantle piece??) so there's more than a little something for everyone. Katy runs her webshop out of her home in Houston, TX--which explains the bevvy of gorgeous vintage leather goods and fringed jackets up for grabs. Plus she also has an awesome blog of her own!

Even sweeter, you can score 15% off your entire order by entering the code RINGO at check out. Pretty rad, right?? So go forth, save and somebody--please give that tractor a safe, loving home!

This morning, I'd like to introduce you guys to another one of my kind sponsors:

PISTENINE VINTAGE AND SECONDHAND

I've actually been a fan of this shop for quite some time now, after stumbling across it on some late-night sugar-high-induced shoe hunt (no doubt.) What caught my attention was the mix of off-beat, totally adorable stock and incredibly reasonable prices--and not just "Etsy reasonable" but, like real life reasonable! I kind of felt like I had come across my own semi-private online thrift store and now, well, I guess I'm sharing my "secret" with you all!

For her latest update, I sent Susie a list (and...ok, made a polyvore set!) of some of my favorite summer essentials, and she in turn took my recommendations to heart when shopping around for her newest stock. Above are just a few of the amazing pieces she tracked down, all available for sale in her shop. Check it!!

I'd like to take this opportunity, and this outfit post, to introduce you guys to my newest sponsor: Spotted Moth! I blogged about the fun new shop a little bit ago, and now, happily, they've taken up semi-permanent residence in my sidebar. (Speaking of which, if anyone else is interested in having an ad up over yonder, shoot me an email. I'd like to get everything squared away by July 1st, and it's first come, first serve, so time is tight!)





When they offered to let me try out a piece from the shop, I immediately honed in on this Oh Barnacles! Dress. It caught my eye with its simple shape and classic navy stripes, and won my heart with thoughtful details like pockets and a drawstring waist (meaning it's nicely adjustable to various measurements and fit preferences.) As a reminder, you can use the code RINGO at checkout over on Spotted Moth for a 15% discount. I'm hoping we can do a giveaway as well some time next month for you guys!



And while we're on the subject of giveaways, there's a semi-Pains of Being Pure at Heart-themed giveaway, involving one of these brand spankin' new tote bags, in the works! I'm planning on timing it with the debut of our little travel video from February, so stay tuned :n )
