Purse from my Mom

I was so inspired by the pictures in my menswear post that I had to come up with an outfit of my own! This is the first of many menswear inspired outfits I'll be wearing this fall. Hugs!

PS: Please forgive the badly tied tie! I'm a lot shorter than jonny so it was hard to tie without it being too long, hehe!

Q's Daydream On Facebook

Hey everyone! I've started a facebook page for my blog and shop. There I'll be posting blog and shop updates as well as random thoughts and inspiration. If you'd like you can go here and like it!

If all goes as planned I'll be back later today with an outfit post! :o)

Menswear, Then & Now

This fall more than ever I have been drawn to menswear fashions. I have suddenly accumulated four pairs of suspenders, a couple pair of high waisted tweed trousers and lots of button up blouses. I've also been borrowing Jonny's ties, hehe. I still need to find myself a great pair of oxfords and a blazer though... Anyway, I found these wonderful images of ladies back in the day and now sporting trousers, ties, blazers and suspenders and I knew I needed to share them with you. Most of these images can be found on my tumblr.

Dress Swap, Dirndl Style

A few weeks ago I asked Solanah of Vixen Vintage if she'd like to do a dress swap. The girl is fabulous as I'm sure most of you know! Well, Solanah surprised me with not just one but several dresses! Each and every one is amazing and completely me. Though this dirndl stole my heart right away. I love it to pieces and I am so happy to be able to love it for a bit! Super soon I'll show you the other wonderful things Solanah sent me! Be sure to check out Vixen Vintage for the dress I sent Solanah! Thanks so much Solanah darling!

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! :o)

My New Favorite Band, The Secret Sisters

Just a matter of minutes ago I discovered The Secret Sisters, aka my new favorite band! The sisters are Laura and Lydia and I don't think they could be any lovelier. They sing some of my favorite old songs like Big River and Something Stupid and they do it beautifully. My favorite though is their original Tennessee Me, which you can hear here. They happened to record they're album right here in Nashville! Hopefully I'll be able to see them live soon! Anyway, since I'm so new to these girls you can watch the video below and to learn more about them!

Look at her pin! ;o)

Yup, that's Jack White!

And Elvis Costello!

Aren't they the cutest!?

Sponsor Spotlight: Closet Case Vintage!

Let's say hey to my sponsor Carmen of Closet Case Vintage! Closet Case Vintage is filled to the brim with amazing vintage. Everything to 1950's party dresses to 1970's denim to 1940's shoes, and mens clothing too. There's a little bit of everything really! Not only does CCV have an Etsy shop it's also located inside of Katy K's in Nashville, TN. I have to admit it's probably one of my favorite vintage shops. Not only because of the amazing vintage but because of it's doll of an owner Carmen! I probably stop in once a week and drool over all the pretty dresses, hehe. My hubby even loves it y'all!
