Olde for the bolde















This post is an ode to the vintage malls/ stores of Dallas. Some images are from the beautifully presented Dolly Python and others from a crazy adventure of a trek to Lula B's. A mishmash of kitsch and class(?), if there's nothing to suit your tastes, the spectacle itself is worth a trip. After all, what's not to love about retro weight loss campaigns and creepy/ angry, seemingly pregnant baby dolls?

  5. I love searching through antique malls. Everything is always extremely over prices so I rarely find anything but it's always an enjoyable experience to be around so much history.

  51. Hi Nadia (and Hassan),

    I heard of the blog before but have had a great time browsing all of your past posts and getting up to speed with things. The photography is gorgeous and you're definitely deserving all of the great opportunities that have (and will) come your way.

    Had a wonderful time getting to know you a bit in NYC. Truly hope that Laura and I run into you again along the way.

    Enjoy London Fashion Week!
