Simply Vintageous | What Would Carrie Bradshaw Wear? ... Lace

Simply Vintageous is one of my favorite vintage stores in L.A.!  This store has the most incredible selection of high end vintage, and if you live in Los Angeles, or come to visit, I highly recommend that you check it out!

Recently, the girls over at Simply Vintageous asked me to model for their look book!  They wanted to do a "Carrie Bradshaw" themed photo shoot, and since people are always telling me that I look like Sarah Jessica Parker, I fit the part perfectly!  I have to admit it was beyond fun to put on all of the amazing clothes and pretend to be the fabulous Carrie/SJP!

The first look involved an adorable peach dress with a short sleeve lace overlay...

Bad Joan goes to Mr. Bones Pumpkin Patch

When Bad Joan arrived at the pumpkin patch she headed straight to the scary skull slide!  At first she had to slide alone but quickly made a friend to help her down the second time around ...

... After the slide Bad Joan ventured over to the petting zoo ...

... Then she road a giant rocking horse ...

... She made a very stylish friend with a fabulous colorblocked sweater so they chatted about fashion ...

... but apparently Bad Joan didn't give out the best advice ...

... Next she headed over to the pumpkin decorating booth ...

... and then she set sail on a pirate ship with the help of a fantastic crew ... 

... After all that Bad Joan was a little tired so she found a place to sit ...

... Finally, she found a pumpkin that was just her size ...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Bad Joan goes to the Three Amigos... AND starts a Cooking Blog!

If you live in Los Angeles you should be buying your produce from the Three Amigos on Fairfax and Rosewood.  They are a small produce only store and the prices are half of what they are in the supermarket!  It is operated by the "three amigos."  They get seasonal fruits, veggies, and spices and there is always something new and interesting to try.  This shop is like a permanent farmer's market! 

If you are not in LA but are interested in finding a store like this near you, a good way to do so is to find out where the local restaurants get their produce (stores like this do most of their business by selling wholesale to restaurants).  If you find one near you or know of one in your area post about it in the comments section so others in your area can find it! 

To prepare for the launch of her cooking blog Bad Joan took a recent trip to the Three Amigos in her new Lotta Stensson tunic.  Check it out...

What Bad Joan is wearing:

Embroidered Kurta Tunic by Lotta Stensson - Retail $249 / Sale $69

Bali Cross Body Bag by Carla Mancini - Retail $245 / Sale $99

Ceremony Chandelier Earrings by Rich in Frienship - Retail $65 / Sale $30

Fedora by Sweet Evie - Sold Out

(Shorts are Trovata and shoes are Aldo)

PLUS Bad Joan's cooking blog is live!  Check it out HERE.  The first couple recipes are up and new recipes and tips will be added each week.  Learn how to eat well and make the most out of what is in your refrigerator...

Take care of yourself from the inside out!

Bad Joan goes to Doughboys Bakery

If you live in Los Angeles then you've probably been to Doughboys on 3rd.  But did you know that they opened a stand alone bakery shop on Beverly Blvd.?!  For those of you not in LA you have to realize that Doughboys makes the most amazing (and huge) baked goods.  They are best known for their red velvet cake and it is truly and unbelievably delicious! 

This new stand alone bakery opened just a block and half from the Bad Joan office!  Which is amazing and terrifying at the same time.  So of course Bad Joan had to go and check it out...

They have little tables and chairs out front so Bad Joan went outside to enjoy the weather and her delicious chocolate chip cookie...

...when she realized just how ginormous the cookie actually was...

Moral of the story?  Definitely visit the Doughboys bakery BUT bring a friend (or two) because the goodies are big enough to share!

What Bad Joan is wearing:
-Side Ruched Top by gadogado - Retail $85 / Sale $22
