Okay don't judge me.. But I been a little obsessed with youtube lately.. >.<

Fashion Week is here and I love watching Vblogs. Some of my favorite designers have inspired me to start my own summer collection for 2011!

Here's a few of my favorite vblogs -

Alice & Olivia - My all time favorite designer. I adore her new collection! Sequins and lace is my cup of tea >.<

Marc Jacobs - Marc Jacobs always melts my little heart away! Love the little animal prints and the wedges are just too cute. Very 60's - 70's looks (my favorite era)

Wild Fox - Another 60's style look ;) with a more..."fun in the sun" vibe. Loooveee the american flag crop top!

I've been so excited and meaning to show you what I found a few days ago. I got this really cute peter pan collar dress for only $10.00 dollars! My tummy giggled when I found this. Especially after daydreaming on the dress Alexa Chung did for Madewell and kicking my self for buying one. I have to say.. I'm pretty happy I found this!

Happy new year.

You know what’s wrong with you, Miss Whoever-you-are? You’re chicken, you’ve got no guts. You’re afraid to stick out your chin and say, “Okay, life’s a fact, people do fall in love, people do belong to each other, because that’s the only chance anybody’s got for real happiness.” You call yourself a free spirit, a “wild thing,” and you’re terrified somebody’s gonna stick you in a cage. Well baby, you’re already in that cage. You built it yourself. And it’s not bounded in the west by Tulip, Texas, or in the east by Somali-land. It’s wherever you go. Because no matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself.

Antique Shop.

2009-10-30T17:47:00.000-07:00

A perfect day to go antique shopping on a rainy day...

I woke up early, got a vanilla latte and found this really cute antique shop close to home that I had never visited. I decided to check it out, and I wanted to buy everything.

The ladies that own the place are very nice. I bought a vintage, lemon soap dispenser for my kitchen and a really cute mint floral tray for my jewelry and perfumes. I'm not sure what to do with it yet.

I'll be going to the Open House on the 6th. I will take pictures to share with you.

Snail Mail!
