Summer Style: Polka Dot Dress

Fashion•Outfits

Outfit details: Dress, Vintage (Similar vintage one here, similar styles here, here and here)| Wedges, Steve Madden via Marshall’s  (Similar here and here) | Hat, J.Crew (Similar here and here) Every summer, I love the opportunity to wear my favorite vintage dresses and make it my go-to summer style! One of my favorites that I’ve had for years, is an easy-breezy button-up polka dot dress. I’ve worn it previously on the blog with a tweed jacket and once with a bow belt, but this weekend – I wore it simply with a summer straw hat and a pair of...

Red Lace & Leopard

Fashion•Outfits

This past week, my boyfriend and I started a weekly meeting to catch up on blogging things. It might seem silly to some, but we both have very busy schedules, so finding time to take photos on the weekends and discussing other ideas for the blog was really really helpful. Plus it is fun because each week we are going to try out a new place to eat, grab a drink have the meeting and then go thrifting! After meeting at Pizza Luce, we headed to the nearby Goodwill and I found two dresses perfect for Valentine’s day! This...

Holiday Style: Vintage Glam

Fashion•Outfits

I’ve expressed my love for vintage many times on this blog, there is just something so special about being able to wear pieces that were a part of someone else’s life before… in a different time. I have been fortunate enough to acquire some pieces from my grandmother, and have also loved searching for vintage pieces online and while thrifting. Vintage pieces are so well made, it makes it worth the purchase even if sometimes the price is a little more steep than I want to pay. I discovered this faux fur jacket and polka dot green maxi at...

Oversized Tweed Jacket + Plaid Scarf

Fashion•Outfits

This oversized tweed jacket is warm, comfy and easy to throw on. I wore this outfit last weekend, when it was nice out, but still chilly enough for a scarf. My mom found this scarf for me at a thrift store and I was SO happy. It is beautiful, and with the colors and plaid pattern, goes with almost everything I wear. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving, and HAPPY BLACK FRIDAY! Make sure to check out my post for the best deals going on RIGHT NOW!

Black Maxi Dress

Fashion•Outfits

Hello from North Carolina! My boyfriend and I are doing the rest of the traveling to Charlotte today to see our friends. Today I’m sharing an outfit I wore on Sunday when it was crazy hot outside. See that hair? That’s called humidity. Just a few minutes before, my hair was actually cooperating and curled. That’s August for you and today we leave for Charlotte, NC, which won’t be any better for my hair. Anyway… with the high humidity that I was hoping to avoid this year since we have had such a great summer for weather (meaning not...

Is That Your Grandma’s Coat?

Outfits

Why yes, yes it is. Seriously. My mother went through her mother’s clothing last September after she passed away to see if she could find anything to give to us to remember her and thank goodness because I have gotten some really amazing pieces from her (other outfits with her clothes seen here and here).  I miss her each and every day, but this coat reminds me of her and it makes me smile! I love vintage clothing and to have pieces from her to remember her by… honestly I couldn’t ask for anything better. Have you had clothing passed...
