Louis Vuitton

If you'd told me that the Louis Vuitton show was going to end up being my favorite of the season I'd have probably told you you were off your rocker. I guess it ends up making sense seeing that Marc Jacobs is the mind behind it all and I'm usually a fan of his work. I just typically like the Marc by Marc Jacobs best and was taken by surprise at just how much I like the Louis Vuitton this time around. The prim skirt length is especially refreshing and something I'm excited to experiment with more. That "below the knee" thing can be quite tricky to pull off. Definitely saving these looks as a reference when I'm stuck.

Friday Etsy Update

Another little Etsy update for you in brown and plum and cream. Thanks so much for stoppin' by!

Etsy Update #3

Whew! It's done! Here is the last little update of the day. Oooh, I can't wait for warm spring days of bare legs and dresses. Speaking of dresses... I haven't forgotten about them for the Etsy shop. There are plenty on their way! Look for another little update tomorrow and Saturday then I'll be digging into lots of spring dresses for next week. I can't wait for you to see!

Etsy Update #2

Alrighty...here's the second Etsy update of the day! Six cute 60s mini skirt in a variety of bright colors. Back to work! :)

Etsy Update #1

Oh my! How is it Thursday already? This week has been kicking my butt. I've got three days worth of Etsy items all ready to go... only I haven't gotten them listed yet! So today will be dedicated to catching up. Here is the first of three little updates I'll be doing today. First we have six tops in stripes and zig zags. The next batch is coming soon...

And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when...

The other day while Tom and I were out for a sunny drive we stopped beside these train tracks to snap a few photos. We were out there for a few minutes when we heard the train whistle off in the distance. Turns out were were standing by the Strasburg Railroad line. We've ridden the train a couple of times when we've had visitors in town. It's an old timey train that takes you all through Amish country.

We quickly got excited about the prospect of having the train whiz by in a photo. The only problem with that idea was as soon as the train approached and started blowing its whistle I turned into a giggling mess and ended up having to just turn away from the camera. Oh well! I think we got a decent shot out of it any way. ;) It was just so loud I think my powers of concentration temporarily stopped functioning!

Nadinoo Spring

I'd love to say that I stayed home and worked on a shop update all day like I'd planned, but the truth is the sun was shining, the air was warm and Tom was home from work on spring break. Instead of staying inside and working we headed out on a walk around town and to several of our favorite spots. We stopped in Mommalicious to look at vintage goodies, walked along gallery row and into a cute antique shop. I picked up a couple of things for the Etsy shop that I'll be listing next week with all the spring pieces I've been hoarding all winter. One is a really cute pale yellow Peter Pan collar blouse that sort of reminds me of the one in the spring Nadinoo collection. I wish it fit me but no such luck, so it will have to go to one of you lucky gals.

Speaking of Nadinoo, I've been thoroughly enjoying all of the lookbook shots from the new spring collection. Such sweet blouses and dresses and a great pair of high waisted shorts! My favorite has to be the Fleur's Petal dress. The art nouveau print is just killin' me!
