This weekend was filled with pretty mundane things like trips to Lowe's for more paint, watching lots of World Cup soccer and eating Auntie Anne's pretzels at the mall. Really, those are the best kinds of weekends aren't they? Now I'm back to work taking photos for this week's Etsy update. I've been doing a major closet clean out so expect lots of dresses from my own collection for sale this week.

Update: Hi everyone! Just checking back in quickly to let you all know that my laptop has officially kicked the bucket. I'm working on getting a new one in the next day or so, but until then it'll be radio silence around these parts. I'll be back in a couple of days with lots of new items for the Etsy shop and regular blog updates. See you then!

  1. Really lovely dress! I own a romper that is really too small for me (but someday soon will not be!) that has vertical stripes in the same color and I love it!

  2. Damn! I adore that dress! My weekend was pretty much the same as yours, household things.
    Can't wait to see what you're selling from your closet!

    Nice. When I find myself in the mall every once in a blue moon, you can definitely spot me with a Auntie Anne's pretzel. Cinnamon and sugar please!

  22. I love your sailor dress, the stripes are quite unique. The pairing with the cloche works really well, is it from the 20s or is it newer?

  36. I was reading your post but then just stopped at: eating pretzels at the mall.
    For some reason I had to think of this for a second and imagine you in a mall, all decked out in pretty vintage with a little straw bag amongst scantily clad teens spending their allowances on oversized slurpees and more scandalous clothing.
    I'm glad you made it out ok.
