Happy Friday

25 March 2011
















Happy Friday! Not that it makes much of a difference for me, since
I have been on spring break, but I am sure the rest of you are
jumping for joy. I am now out of Texas, and went on a little
road trip to Missour-ah. My boyfriends family lives here, and
I just always love coming to visit. Today we are going to this
vintage clothing store that is also a cupcake shop! As
you can imagine, I am completely stoked. My boyfriends dad
actually just told me about it yesterday hehe.

Anyways about this outfit: this dress is a Japanase vintage
piece from the 70's, and I absolutely adore it. The pleats are
heavenly, and the ruffle detail is just perfect. Oh and this
polaroid camera that I used as a prop was purchased at a
thrift store for just a couple bucks. It still works too! Too bad
polaroid film is so hard to find these days. I am also wearing
this vintage watch, which is also hard to find these days. To find
more watches at a good price check out pre owned watches.
Anyways, I hope you all have a lovely weekend!

This dress is so pretty and I love that lace vest, it's beautiful. Oh and don't get me started on those peach socks, adorable! Hope your spring break has been all you hoped for. xo

Kaitlyn said...

Hi, I've only been following your blog for about a week now, time to comment! I love this outfit, the lace vest is adorable.

I just wanted to let anyone looking for Polaroid film know that The Impossible Project is a company from the UK that reverse engineered old Polaroid film to create a brand new film for all the old cameras. You can buy it for about 30 dollars online, and they have a shop in New York.
Much cheaper than buying the old film on eBay I found, and because it's still experimental, you can create all new and exciting effects with your Polaroid camera. :)
