BALTIMORE REPRESENT

A little behind the scenes from the Two Back Flats

 RAW Natural Born Artist Showcase prep at Fells Point Salon.

I wanna be rich and famous so all my friends will be rich and famous too. 

 

The two gypsy, pirate goddesses below are responsible for doing the best hair in Baltimore...and for teaching me all their ways from haircuts to living free. Always looking up to both of you Nina and Melanye.

The brand new Fells Point Salon location : 735 S. Ann St. Baltimore, MD 21231

 WHOA. Meet Laina. I literally met this girl on the street a few weeks ago while she was wasting her sweet time as a hostess. She had a perfect victory roll, little blazer and killer heels. All I kept thinking was "this girl needs a top hat". If you build it they will come. I am so glad she didn't think I was a creep and e-mailed me back. Thank you universe. Perfection:

Another of my lady canvases for the evening the la la lovely Lauren Burton! Let's all take note that not only did L not flinch, but she sat around looking gorgeous as her entire head was covered in rows of perm rods. Thats right perm rods. #LikeABoss 

You can tell Melanye is from Baltimore with those stellar hair teasing skillz.

 

this photo melts my heart. So many of my favorite things:

 

are you freaking out about the black and white striped mini top hat too?

I wanted each of my girls for the evening to represent a little bit of Two Back Flats. A little Mad,  a little Moulin Rouge and of course a little retro! The hats and headpieces speak for themselves but I could not have pulled this off without this hair, makeup and modeling expertise! 

The darling and sensational Miss Fawn rocking my pin up look with our ever so loved pinwheel headband! Go check out this lady if you know what is good for you. She is professional and sultry and pretty damn fabulous.

 

Me sassing it up in my black top hat for the camera per usual. Plus I can never keep a straight face when Alana is around.

 

Fun fact: Two Back Flats was actually BORN about 4 houses behind where Miss Fawn is strutting.

How delightful, right?

 let us also discuss the heels these girls both whipped out of their bags like I have some sort of genie in a bottle. #soulsisters #bringmeyourmostridiculousshoes

showtime!!! 

I want to thank all of these ladies who I am blessed and honored to call friends. You will call them too if you know whats up:

Feelin' Free

I made this red, white and blue top hat for a lovely little pageant lady. But, I had to light some sparklers and get my 4th of July on with it before it shipped! (Don't worry - only for a moment ;)

Handmade from scratch using ALL upcycled fabrics. Pretty rad.

Happy short work week fellow Americans!

One Love,

"Not too shabby" Boudoir Shoot

Photos from the mini hat boudoir extravaganza have arrived!!! We've had a trying week here at Two Back Flats so you can imagine how thrilled I was ripping open this envelope...


Alana and I met in college while we were studying Visual Communications and Design and I cannot be more thankful that she still rocks her graphic design magic through Vanity's Edge. In addition to being a smashing photographer, I go ga ga over Alana's feminine, sultry style.

My last minute decision to be a part of A's Shabby Chic inspired boudoir shoot was the best decision I've made in a while. I'm almost thankful I didn't have tons of time to psych myself out. I tend to do that ;) The morning of the shoot, I had to stop myself from chewing off my nails.

Not only did I have zero to be worried about but I had a blasssst with Alana. Being decked out in hats and surrounded by her breezy, romantic set was only half of it. We did not stop laughing the entire day.

Enjoy the following husband approved photos from the shoot! ;)

Remember this hat? Only one will be available verrry soon in my Etsy shop for your summer tea parties...

Any chance to wear these shoes is a chance I'm taking...

This bad ass vintage hat box came from where most of my most cherished vintage finds come from (including my wedding band :)
