Last thursday I turned the ripe old age of 22 (don't worry, they're putting me in a home soon), and just happened to have my first photoshoot scheduled with the lovely Lara Blair. She contacted me a few weeks ago wanting to do some fun vintage style shoots, and as the weather improves, I'm sure you'll see many more!
These were taken at Je t'aime bakery, a place I frequent for soup and pastries. At the recent expo I found this amazing amazing 1940s bird hat, and a belt to match! I found them at the same vendor, so maybe the woman who owned them in the 40s wore them together too :)

You're killing me here! This is retro done right. You are drop dead gorgeous, Sol!

That sweater dress is too fabulous, right down to the color. I am seriously deprived, I have wanted one like this forever! I can see it as a foundation for so many things.
Love everything about it. Love the colors, and that HAT! Sooooo pretty.
this belongs in a magazine. I love everything about it-including that train case! I'm obsessed with train cases :) You look amazing my dear.
wow you look gorgeous, especially in that last picture
That hat is awesome! Was it originally a hat, or something else that can be turned into hat?
Such stunning photos! What a way to celebrate 22 - Happy birthday!!
I'd love some close ups of that hat - it looks too exciting not to see it in more detail!
Simply Gorgeous! And happy birthday! :)
Aw to be 22 again.You look wonderful!The photos turned out lovely!
Absolutely lovely!
And happy belated birthday! Hope it was wonderful!
So you're 5 years older than me. :)
Wow - stunning as usual. You really know how to put together an outfit. Happy belated birthday and thanks for all the great posts! (BTW you have made me feel slightly old - I am turning 40 this year - eek, but thanks to vintage glamour and a good hairdo hopefully I don't look it yet!)
OMG!! Stunning photos!!
Happy Birthday :)

So what about the dress, sweater girl?Where did that come from?
I can't believe you're only 22!!! I thought you were closer to my age but only a couple years younger. man I'm old. Did you get married at 18 or 19 or so? I was 20 when I married. I love young marriages. Anyway these are gorgeous shots of you and I applaud your photographer a lot. Happy birthday to you!
Gosh, you are pretty! Green is a great color on you!
Gorgeous! And Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday!! Stunning photos. Love, love the whole outfit, especially the hat!!
Gorgeous lady!!!
Really fabulous photos!
Gorgeous pics, loving the hat too! Happy belated birthday! :)
Happy belated birthday. Absolutely gorgeous outfit. Love the shade of green.
These photos are spectacular!!
Jealous! I'm waiting for someone to call me for a photo shoot. You look fantastic. What a great birthday present.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!
Some great colour combos in the outfits/location. And the lighting is beautiful.
Amazing (and a happy belated birthday to my birthday twin [yes, down to the year]).
absolutely stunning. Perfectly styled!
Happy Belated Birthday. 22 was the most amazing year for me. Hope yours proves to be just as wonderful!
these photos are truly incredible, like a step back in time.
Twenty two... The memories rush through my mind! :) I have to say you should ask that this photographer take more pictures of you. You look absolutely amazing! Laura B seems to have captured not only the glamour that is you, but also your charm and wit.
A very happy bday to you - Solanah!
You have a great complexion and are fabulously photogenic. Love the vintage look, you so make it work...
Betty2Tone, it's a hat from the 1940s
MB I got it at Urban Eccentric Vintage http://www.etsy.com/shop/urbaneccentric
Victoria, we got married at 20 too!
That jewel tone is so beautiful on you! A great shoot. :)
These pictures are so lovely! Hope there are more of these shoots to come!
Amazing outfit you look beautiful xx

That's the ticket. It's not every girl who can wear a jaunty bird hat so well!
That knit dress looks amazing on you! And you look so darn good no matter what you are wearing anyway, makes me jealous ;) Anyway, lovely photos.
Just stumbled upon your blog... It's amazing! Love these birthday photos especially (Happy birthday!). Love your whimsical, vintage style. ;)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! :)
I'm exactly 35 years older than you, and still loving vintage style. Perhaps I am vintage myself, ahem. ;)
those photos really look amazing and your hat is just perfect
Gorgeous shots Solanah! You look breathtaking- so classy! (Happy 22nd Birthday! :) )
sooo lovely!
Wow these photos are truly beautiful! I love the vintage spin you've got, from the clothes down to the poses! Stunning!
Ahem, I'm too old to calculate - I'm "only" 25 years older than you. :)
These pictures are so inspiring. You look like are actually in the 1940s. I have never seen such beautiful photography before in my life. Cudos to the talented photographer, Lara Blair.
