Hello!

This past week, I made this here dress ;) It's become the nautical dress I've always wanted! I didn't set out to make the nautical dress of always wanted, but I'm glad it turned out that way. The buttons are some from the 1940's that I've been saving for quite awhile. I think their perfect for this dress!

Oh another note.. for the past couple of months I've been attempting to grow my pixie into a short bob. Though, right now it's driving me a bit crazy! I have a hair appointment for Tuesday. Do you think I should just get a trim, and keep growing my pixie into a bob.. or should I chop it all off?

Have a lovely weekend! xo

The Big Tree & Me

Vintage Jacket, A gift from my friend Sara

Dress, Made by me a bit ago

Shoes, Mia

Hello! I hope everyone had a nice weekend! Did you do anything fun?

It was raining here, so I stayed inside and put myself to work sewing and packing for the move. I'm so excited to move! Between the rain Jonny took me on a coffee date. After we stopped at the park and took these pictures. I love Tennessee and it's huge trees :)

Anywho, this jacket was a gift from my friend Sara. I've had it quite a while now and for some reason had never worn it, despite adoring it. You see it was a longer jacket... Jonny suggested I crop it short, because he knows I'm a cropped jacket kinda girl. Why hadn't I thought of that before, I have no idea I love it cropped! So, I call this my Nautical, Sara, Jonny Jacket, haha. 

Talk to y'all soon! xo

The Calm Before The Storm

Hat, Target

Vintage 1940's Dress, Ebay a few years ago

Boots, Very old

Hello lovelies!!

These pictures were taken Sunday afternoon just before some bad storms rolled through Tennessee. Tornado warnings and all. The one and only thing I don't like about living down south is the potential for tornadoes. No, sitting in the bathtub at 2am is not fun! All is well now. :O)

The outfit I'm wearing was inspired by Lena Hoschek's new collection. I pulled out one of my favorite 1940's dresses and paired it with my old lace up boots. A perfect outfit for a warm winter afternoon. I hope you all are well!! xo

Last three pictures found at The Frivolous Flapper

At the moment I'm slightly obsessed with pants outfits and beach pajamas from the 1930's. Well, maybe I'm always obsessed with pants from the 1930's, hehe! Anyway, my mission this spring is to find some vintage 1930's beach pajamas. It's gonna be super tough because they've become so rare, but I'm hopeful! Maybe I'll end up making myself a pair if my search fails...

Have a glorious weekend!

Oh, and thank you ever so much for the sweet comments from my last post! xo

Hello lovelies!

I've been looking everywhere for a pilots hat, and finally found this knit hat that kinda has the shape of a pilots hat. I'm still looking for the real thing though, hopefully a leather one! I guess you could say I'm a confused sailor girl, that wants to fly, lol. 

On a completely different note, Jonny and I are adopting a puppy basset hound! Basset hounds are my favorite dogs ever and I've been wanting one for yearsssssss. We finally have a little girl that's going to be all ours. Yay!!! You know as soon as she's home I'll be posting pictures ;O)
