    Marvel skirt, red tank top, and retro sunglasses

    Hello lovelies! Today I am working on what feels like a massive Etsy update, tackling the boxes I have yet to delve into and posting some of my most treasured finds (wedding dresses! 1960’s wiggle dress! 60’s and 70’s slips/sheer robes! 1970’s maxi dresses!) which is hard. All of the things I got through photographing today are things I’ve been hoarding because… pretty. Even though they don’t fit me, or they wouldn’t fit my style/life at all. Having an Etsy shop is really good for me, because it forces me to break my hoard-all-the-pretty-vintage habits and share what I’ve found with someone else who can actually wear the garments and…

    Sweet dreams…

    So can we talk for a minute about how absolutely amazing my husband’s photography is? I had no idea what he was doing when he snapped the above picture, and then we got back and I saw it and… man. Gorgeous. Totally worth having to walk through some water and feel awkward posing for. And this is also a good lesson in “pose even when it feels awkward” because I often feel silly doing poses, but they nearly always look good on camera. So, you know. That’s one of the tricks of the trade, actually; the husband was listening to a podcast with Tom Hanks, and he was explaining how…

    Camping

    We went camping this weekend, and it was so much fun! Asa loved it, and I figured he would, since he really likes to be outside. It was a little sprinkly — and I was really cold taking these pictures, so don’t be deceived by how summery it looks –, and disappointingly not hot enough to swim in the lake, but just hanging out with family and wandering around the grounds was good enough for us. Looking at these pictures, I understand now why some people would still think I’m in highschool. I only wore mascara, and combined with the tired eyes… yep. I’m okay with looking young, though! I’ll…

    And a Cherry On Top

    You guys…. lately, I haven’t felt like blogging. The writing part, I mean. Instead, I’ve been reading all my old stories and getting inspired to continue them. There are so many I started writing that I don’t even remember, but that just sound so much fun — I found one the other day titled “My Boss is a Serial Killer” and reading it just cracked me up. I’m pretty sure that’s not the official title.   So, I have a few posts ready with pictures, but no words. Usually, it’s the other way around. I got this shirt and these earrings at the same time, and how could I not wear…

    So this is love…

    Brace yourselves for a huge overload of pictures. Because… oh. my. goodness. If I could only ever wear one thing for the rest of my life, it would be this dress. This dress is perfect. Every woman dreams of having a dress that fits like a glove, is the right color, has the details she loves, and makes her feel like a million dollars, and this is that dress for me. When eShakti contacted me to do a review, I had no idea I would fall this hard! They will fit any dress on their site to your measurements, and since I have about a ten inch difference between bust…
