Bohemian Purple

This 1970s bohemian dress is embroidered with the most beautiful shades of purples and a pretty little bird detail! Made from a cotton blend, it was a little cooler than I thought it would be on a hot summer day. We are still facing 108 degree days here in Tucson, and I am more than ready to play with my fall wardrobe.

Paisley Pants and Gracie!

Well hello there....

I have not fallen off the face of the earth, i've just been a little busy bee lately....

First things first, I would like to introduce the newest member of my family, Gracie! 

At five months old, she has been keeping us pretty busy around the house and has gotten most of the attention these days....We adopted her a couple of weeks ago and she is such a happy little girl! She is a soft-coated wheaten terrier and full of life and cuddles. Literally cute as and soft as a teddy bear.

So onto the pants...

I picked these pretty paisley print pants up a few months ago at Desert Vintage, and I have been itching to put them on since. A perfect staple for fall, they can be combined with so many different tops, shoes, and accessories! For this look, I opted for a more classic-chic ensemble, adding pops of purple and then topped it off with a black velvet bow-tie and black velvet belt. It is still a little warm in Tucson, but I couldn't wait any longer to put these on and I look forward to wearing and experimenting with them a lot this fall!

Gracie jumped up for a kiss and a picture too!

I'm a "Lucky" Girl!

I was over the moon yesterday! Just shortly after 8:30am, right after I sat down to enjoy my morning routine, glass of juice and muffin in hand. I almost choked on that muffin, when I opened up my emails to find that I had won the 1970s attire contest, that Lucky Magazine hosted a few months back!

This is the picture I submitted in all my 1970s garb & glory!

Pink Roses

A cute little 1960s summer dress, green with pink rosebuds all over it, and guess what? It matched my bright pink cork wedges perfectly! While cleaning my closet out last weekend, I also dug out this cute brown leather belt, with a rose embellishment on it. I completely forgot I had it! I thought today would be a good day, to pull it out again.....

Leaping Leopards!

I love this feisty little leopard dress. I picked it up while I was out thrifting a few weeks ago, and decided to try it on for size today! I just love the tiered ruffle skirt and the cut around the arms.

Pretty in Pink!

I adore this dress! I found this little number from the 1950s, a few weeks ago at my local Buffalo Exchange. It is so pretty and was in perfect condition, fits like a glove too! (no alterations needed) I feel like quite a lady in it. The fabric feels so good and I just love the print, color palette and the little bow up by the neckline, it's adds such a pretty feminine detail.
