The Vintage Chronicles of: Cocoa Gorgeous


August 17, 2026
I know this post was supposed to have been aired last weekend, but I had so much going on, on top of the room renovations, which started late Thursday, that I unfortunately did not finish until Monday. So that's why we are now half a week late with an update. I still haven't hung the new curtains; I really didn't want to wear myself out by doing too much because I don't have help, so it takes me a little longer to move things around and get situated. The good news is I am don

Like most people, I had made plans to slow down my spending going into this new season, but I could not pass up the absolute gems I found over the past week. I have had such insane luck sourcing vintage online. A little back story: because I live in a city that prioritizes Y2K over any other time period, it is no easy feat to source 1940s & 1950s vintage out in the wild. The funny thing is that wasn't always the case; I remember back in the day when you could find 1940s & 195

Plans have changed yet again. I had every intention of setting up my patio escape this past weekend and doing a bit of shooting in front of the crepe myrtles; turns out that would have been an absolute nightmare, seeing as our girl Bertha is making landfall tonight and will continue into the weekend. It's not going to be a severe storm by the time it reaches me, but it's still going to rain nonetheless. And I do not want to clean up soggy furniture in 100-degree weather o

This post was originally supposed to air last week, but of course I got caught up with the day-to-day events of life. To start, I am so grateful for all the support I've been receiving these past few months. I've been sharing my vintage life for a bout 3 years now and started taking it seriously roughly a year ago. It all feels so surreal that this is slowly but surely, becoming my life and ultimately will be a big part of my career. Life truly is so bizarre seeing as I alw

Yes, the blog I posted yesterday was practically 2 months old lol I forgot all about it and had been putting my blog on the back burner for weeks. Furthermore, since I have a few upcoming collabs, I wanted to get all the old stuff out in preparation for the new posts. So I went ahead and posted the early May entry anyway, since it had been sitting finished for 8 weeks. Anyways, here’s this weeks post! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

It has been quite the weekend but I did have a time I must say, Sunday afternoon I went to see Fences the play at the theatre and it was a much more pleasant experience than I initially let on. I tend to dislike media that centers around infidelity and how it portrays women in the aftermath, but this play was more of a comedic delight. Not because of the overall performance or the play itself lol more so because of all the commentary from the women in the audience. Every wom

Dressing Room Progress
Over the weekend, I received the new carpeting for my dressing room!!! It arrived way sooner than I was originally notified, which did throw a dent in my overall weekend plans; then again, I am happy I got everything cleaned up, reorganized, and laid out over the weekend instead of it spilling into the week. Now it's just a matter of moving my sofa into the room and downsizing on some of the furniture I have in there. I really, really, really wish I had dark cherry wood floor

Freddie's Fashion Fare
I know I took a bit of a break, but the weather here has been so depressing since Easter weekend... nothing but overcast and rain for two weeks straight. I've had so much work I've needed to shoot outside, but Mother Nature has had other plans girl!! Luckily, we will finally see a week of sun starting Thursday. To add to that, I got another opportunity to create work for Freddie's of Pinewood again. This is my second time working with them. I absolutely adore their jeans. I d

Bishop Sleeved Beauties
I am not proud, yet again AM PROUD at the amount of suits I have purchased over the past 6 months. But recently within the past 2 months, once in February then again in March, I acquired two 1940s suits from FabGabs. I posted a reel last week wearing the blazer from one of the suits, the one with the killer buttons and insane sleeves. This I feel like would really go off with a jewel toned blue or purple 1940s skirt. I own an indigo skirt but when I wore this blazer, she was

Glamour Lounging in My Lane
We're on week 3 of me pledging my allegiance towards being consistent on here, and I am back with more shots from my current collab with Weasel Wear! I first worked with them back in 2023 or 2024, I can't remember when, and was so excited to hear back from them this past February. The Contrast Gown immediately grabbed my attention because it favors the dress Elizabeth Taylor was photographed in Rome. And I knew I had to recreate that Old Hollywood starlet look. Elizabeth Tayl

Dreaming of Talia
So it's safe to say I am staying consistent with my blog, even though this is only the second post lol. I still see this as progress because I intentionally took photos specifically for this blog post. Anyway, last week I got some gifted goodies from Secrets in Lace, so of course that means I have to dedicate a shoot to it. I received the pink version of their newest 'Talia' collection, which includes a bra, garter belt, slip, thong, and camisole. Talia Collection by Secrets

Pink Colored, Vintage Coded Glam
A blog post from me?! Pigs must be flying! Anyways lol I have neglected my website for years, and that is honestly putting it lightly... but here is my official but also not official honor to post a blog once a week. We will, of course, see how long I keep this up. On a brighter note, I once again have a dressing room. It took me a few weeks to get things in order, but already the creative juices are flowing like lava girl. I still need to find a rug I love that is also dog-f
