the life + style of a california girl (& new mom) with a love for everything vintage.
for as long as i can remember, i’ve always opted for a super low-key new year’s eve celebration at home. in keeping with that tradition, i’m sharing this year’s decadent yet casual tablescape for a small gathering. and i got everything i needed from @bedbathandbeyond. check my blog for a full list of what i got!

i wasn’t kidding when i said i’ve been wearing jumpsuits every day haha. been saving this one from @milkandthistlelabel for the festive season. it comes in two other colors, too! https://ift.tt/2RQaJwC
getting holiday ready over here! https://ift.tt/2UyLdh5
a better look at this @reifhaus jumpsuit (which is so good and currently on sale)! this is how i wore it for a daytime date, but i’m thinking it would be perfect with ankle boots as it starts to get chilly. i’ll link to it in my stories! https://ift.tt/2E37duX
excuse me while my entire wardrobe shifts to just coveralls. new favorite from @reifhaus (who also makes the best utility pants)! https://ift.tt/2RwBUfH
g i v e a w a y - i’ve teamed up with @leaderbagco to give away one trip mini backpack (seen on edie) to celebrate the launch of their new trip collection of backpacks for the whole family. to enter, make sure you’re following both @calivintage and @leaderbagco, then tag up to 5 friends who might be interested. one tag per comment for up to 5 entries. winner will be announced on friday, dec. 7! ✨ https://ift.tt/2Q9QL3f
coveralls, but make it fashion ✨ @loupnyc https://ift.tt/2RqPuBp
i’m not the type to get super sentimental, but after reading all of your comments and messages yesterday, i was getting teary-eyed and feeling all sorts of warm and fuzzies. so many of you have been around since the very early days and i have made some lasting and meaningful friendships. that alone is amazing! thank you!!! aaand back to outfits: i added puff sleeves to this amazing denim jumpsuit from @loupnyc as my little nod to the festive season. tap for details and check my stories or blog for links! https://ift.tt/2PZ7JkN
i know i haven’t been around much the past couple of weeks, but i just realized that my blog turned 10 years old! i don’t remember exactly when i started because at some point in my history, i went back and deleted some of my early posts (on topics like wayfarers and cage heels) out of sheer embarrassment. but i’m pretty sure i started in the later part of 2008. i’ve seen a lot of changes over the years, like the age of blogging before instagram, the tumblr years, the birth of my two children. and calivintage in it’s many different forms has taken me from a kid sharing silly outfit pictures on my rooftop in oakland to getting a legit job in the fashion industry, traveling to nyfw every season, and literally getting paid to wear fancy clothes i never even dreamed of being able to wear?! these days, things are a bit more quiet, but i’m still here and i’ve still got big plans looming on the horizon. i don’t know what the next 10 years will bring, but i can only hope it will be half as amazing and challenging and rewarding and complicated as the last 10. and i hope you’ll continue to follow along on this journey with me! https://ift.tt/2KM4hnX
back after a four day weekend with the kids and already mentally preparing myself because they have all of next week off school, too! happily wearing jeans and these new @allbirds tree toppers because they’re the first sneakers i’ve ever been able to wear in years. i always want to wear sneakers, but i’m super picky about them. these are ridiculously soft, lightweight and breathable, and they’re made from responsibly harvested tree pulp! i’ve posted links in my stories. #weareallbirds https://ift.tt/2qLHoHV
just a friendly reminder to get out there and vote tomorrow, if you haven’t already. i always vote with an absentee ballot so i can take my time to research at home. but even if you aren’t registered, it’s not too late to vote in certain states! just go to your polling place and conditionally register to vote with a provisional ballot. more info at vote.org!

last week, i accidentally scratched my eyeball, then i irrationally decided to cut my bangs too short just to top things off. oh and the time change! i’m kind of stumbling into the week over here, but at least i’m feeling comfortable in my clothes. i’ll put links in my stories. https://ift.tt/2F1Xveb
do vintage sailor jeans count as a halloween costume? it’s the best holiday, but i never remember to dress up! https://ift.tt/2AEhjjJ
i took my kids to the olive festival at @highlandspringsranch in matching jumpsuits from @mienstudios because i’m a total pinterest mom— or i guess instagram mom? we made olive leaf crowns and ate vanilla bean olive oil ice cream, and i drank a dirty martini. it was a good day. https://ift.tt/2Rrzxus
i had been looking for a pair of mary janes for ages and just couldn’t find what i wanted until @zouxoushoes came along and filled an empty spot in my wardrobe. they also come in several other colors and materials, if you haven’t checked them out yet! https://ift.tt/2StkFwU
