I have to start by thanking everyone who came out to U-Swap, it was such an incredible success! Molly and I had a great time and can’t wait to do it again (although hopefully in a less sweaty place and time). The fabulous Rachel Elliott took some shots for us, so I will post those as soon as I get my hands on em! Thank you so much to Kasmira, Tamia, and Paige and all the other Cincy bloggers for coming too- it was so great to meet everyone and see the people I did know again! As always everyone looked fabulous!
These pictures are a few weeks old now since I am a slacker extraordinaire, but Molly the Sister in Second-Hand Sequins and I went to the Cincinnati Art Museum recently to check out the temporary display of antique neon signs they currently have on loan from the American Sign Museum. They only had a few, but after I saw how huge they were I understand why! If you’re near Cincy you should absolutely make a trip to the Sign Museum – they have weird hours but are also open by appointment. We had a really good time running around though- thank god that Molly had her camera and Jacob didn’t mind being our photographer.
He's comin' for ya Molly!
Hudy - delcious Cincinnati beer
I must admit in a little disclaimer here that I don’t drink beer. It just makes me feel all sloshy and sleepy so I pretty much stick to mah favorite super cheap wine: Crane Lake Riesling. Mmmmmm….
Just look how softly he glows. Like an angel.....
They had one of the balcony areas all separated with matte wallpaper and these cool frames for people to draw in!
The museum also currently has some really beautiful Charley Harper prints that are really out of his normal realm. Most of his pieces are centered around nature and look more like the picture below, but these featured a lot more industrial scenes. It was a small exhibit, but I definitely recommend it if you’re in or near Cincinnati.
I love how geometric most of his work is.
Then we ventured around the little courtyard outside to enjoy the sunshine…
The low back on Molly's leotard top is so cute!
One of my many beloved veil hats
Ain't nobody here but us style bloggers....
If only the big swing in front of the museum wasn't anchored...
I love this one that Molly snapped of herself. Suuuch a cute outfit!
All in all a very fun excursion! I love these little playdates and can’t wait to do one with Paige the Midwest Darling too!

Hey there lady -
Just stumbled upon your site. It’s so cool to see other Ohio bloggers (I’m in Cbus!). I love your style. That pic w/ the mustard shoes/green dress is so cute. I love how classic/vintagey your style is, paired with your totally unique/edgy hair cut. So cool! =)
Wow, I’ve been to the CAM a few times this summer but somehow missed that picture frame installation. How is that possible? It seems so cool! This summer’s crop of exhibits is probably my favorite that I’ve seen there in my four years in Cincinnati.
The Harper exhibit, by the way, is of original paintings and collages, not prints, so that’s one reason why it’s not as hard-edged as the prints that are his better-known work. All the images shown are commissions for Ford Times Magazine, all done fairly early in his career. Instead of focusing on nature, their over all point was to illustrate articles that somehow promoted car travel, so that explains the focus on road trip destinations.
