Velvet and Lace

Hey Ya'll!

It has been a crazy couple of weeks! I have been pretty busy with editing from shoots and having adventures....in my car...which I can drive alone #score! I'm pretty proud of myself for catching on so quick *grins*. I love hitting the backroads and getting lost in the landscape while blasting the stereo.  It is those little things that make a foreign country feel like home :)

Well I have to make this short and sweet because I am about to head out to do some op shopping and pick up some NZ wool.  I'm super pumped about getting wool, since picked up knitting this past week as well. Yeah I have been one busy women! So now I need some real wool to make something awesome.... not sure what exactly yet. I am open to suggestions :) 

Anywho amongst the business over the past couple weeks I have managed to sort through my catalogues of pictures and get them in order.  While doing so I have found more fashion pictures just as I thought there were no more. These ones are from last fall after doing some shopping in Annapolis. Thanks to my friend I got some outfit shots just as the light was fading :)

Cardigan - Target (no clue had it for ages)

Shirt - Banana Republic ~$25 (after gift card)

Hat - Antique Emporium ~$15

Pants - DKNY via BJ's ~$20

Shoes - Lucky Brand via Belks 

So glad I was able to get some shots of this outfit I especially love this lace shirt with the velvet green hat. Definitely one of my favourite combinations! Well I hope ya'll have an awesome weekend! 

Mustard and Navy Always a Good Choice

Hey Ya'll!!

Another #FashionFriday post for ya :) I have been loving going through my old photos and seeing what I find.  They bring back some great memories! 

Well this week I have been pretty productive going through and editing a back log of personal photos, I'm pretty proud of myself :) While editing I have a great new song to jam out to thanks to Rend Collective.  They released their new single "You Will Never Run", if you have not had a listen yet you should! I'm kinda biased since they are one of my favourite bands, so them releasing their single pretty much made my week :)

Well onto the outfit :)

Cardigan - via Macy's ~$20.00

Shirt - Eddie Bauer via Goodwill ~$5.00

Skirt - Talbots gift

Shoes - Lucky Brand ~$15.00

Fur - Great Grandma's

Necklace - Oil City Antique Warehouse ~$5.00

One of my favourite parts of this outfit is the fur, I really love wearing my antique furs.  I almost brought some of them back to NZ, but I was afraid they wouldn't clear customs.  Definitely was not prepared to take that risk! They would have been perfect for Art Deco though!! Anywho I also really love the mustard and navy combo, I do that quite a bit.  It just feels so classy to me :) Well I hope ya'll had a great week! I'm off to adventure :)

A Vintage Sunday for Two

Hey Ya'll!

It is a quite Monday here in PA.  I am relaxing and editing some pictures before venturing out for the day with my cousin:) Apparently it is going to be 75 degrees here, I think I brought the warm weather with me, you are welcome PA :p

In honor of the warm weather I wanted to share what we wore to church....in NC....in July.... (like I said I'm catching up on editing :)

Dress - Goodwill ~ $7

Cardigan -?? No clue had it for years ??

Belt - Came with a dress

Garnet Ring - Gift

Diamond Ring - ~$10 Oil City Warehouse Mall

Beaded Purse - ~$10 Thrift Store NC

Shoes - Croft & Barrow Kohl's ~$7

When I saw what S was wearing I knew I had to get some pictures of her! Don't ya'll just love her cardigan?! If you cannot tell I'm a big fan a cardigans. I personally don't like my arms (I have some toning work to do) so I try to cover them up.  Also I think that it can tie an outfit together nicely.  The beaded details on her cardigan is especially awesome. I also love how she added pops of color with her shoes and shirt :)

As for my dress I actually picked this dress up during our Wilmington Adventure and I knew I had to wear it right away :) When I pack for a trip I try to pack some neutral accessories and it sure paid off! The only thing I wish I would have packed was a longer slip for this dress, but this one worked temporarily.  I really love the pattern of this dress, something I am trying to expand in my wardrobe.  Most of my dresses are solid print, but I'm working on that :) To add a little more of a pop of color I wore my pink lipstick.  I love to play around with lipsticks and now that it's fall I can bust out some of my richer colors :)

So what do ya'll think of our vintage looks?
