Litas and Lace Dresses.

Found this dress a while ago originally to sell on my site, Theodora Vintage, however, I love it so much that I'm not sure I can part ways with it! Today's breezy wind was perfect for this flowy vintage dress and my new hat kept my hair in-tact and out of my face. 

Worn with Jeffrey Campbell Lita boots, H&M hat, and a vintage necklace.

DIY White Board.

Heather of Pretty Little Inspiration surprised me with this unique DIY white board for my birthday! It's such a fun and simple DIY and makes for a great gift. I'm in the process of cleaning out and organizing my room and this white board is going to be so helpful for my many to-do lists I create throughout the week. 

Do it Yourself:
1. Find a frame you like. I love the rustic touch this frame has.
2. Choose a pretty piece of fabric or paper to put in the frame as a background. Heather chose this white lace paper.
3. Get some fun markers to write on it with and vuala... you just made a white board.

Sunny Day for Sam Edelman.

A sunny day indeed. My gorgeousssss Sam Edelman Zoe booties came in the mail Monday and I'm in love! They fit to the T and to my surprise are not only comfortable, but super easy to walk in! Although, I have yet to wear them for an 8 hour work shift. I got this shirt recently and I like it so much that I might go back and get it in white too! It's so unique and I love that it's longer in back and cropped in front. Can't wait to play around with how to wear it. You can see it in white on one of my favorite bloggers, FadetoBlack, by clicking here.

Birthday Girl.

This past Friday was my birthday! It's usually "just another day" for me but this year was a bit different. Taryn of Style-Phenomenon, took me for a surprise lunch at a beautiful beach front restaurant in Laguna Beach where the weather was to die for. She then topped off the amazing day with getting me Sam Edelman Zoe boots for my birthday! It was by far the best birthday I've had yet and I couldn't have spent with a more lovely person. Thanks Taryn!

[These beauties! Can't wait for them to come in the mail!]

Thriftful Tips.

My P.I.C., Taryn of Style-Phenomenon, and I hit the jackpot the other day when searching for a new thrift store. Not only did we find one, we found 4.. and they were all in the same parking lot! It was like a thrifters dream come true! But a tip I will gladly pass on to you.. don't dress up to go thrifting. Our hunting was cut short when we got hit on one too many times. Despite being creeped out, we left fully satisfied, arms accessorized with overfilled bags of vintage finds.
Here's a few helpful tips to thrifting:

-Dress down, not up.

-Be patient! Bring your ipod to keep you distracted.

-Some of the best finds are hidden or barried where no one thinks to look.

-Really inspect garments before making any purchases.. most are final sale.

-Pay attention to the sales!

Brown Hair & Boots.

I'm back! It's really me! I decided to make a little change to my hair.. bye bye blonde! After getting my dad home from the hospital and settled, I now have some time to blog again and I couldn't be happier. 

I got these platform Steve Madden boots a few months ago at a local thrift store and was quickly assured they were the perfect pair when a friend showed me how closely they resemble the Chloe Sevigny boots for Opening Ceremony pictured below. Am I right? Looks like I was ahead of the trend on this one :)
