Etsy Update: Dresses

I've just added all of these pretty dresses to the Etsy shop! Thanks so much for stoppin' by!

Spring Fantasy Outfits

Topshop dress & sunglasses, Modcloth cardigan, Swedish Hasbeen flats

In the interest of self preservation I have a strict no outfit photos rule on any day when the temperature doesn't rise above the freezing mark. It's 14 outside right now (that's -10 for you celcius folks) and I'm planted firmly on the couch in pajamas.

Staying indoors has left me with plenty of time to do some fantasy spring shopping. Most of these items are well out of my budget so I'll be scouring thrift stores for vintage alternatives. I'm really, really loving the new spring shoes from Swedish Hasbeens! Those perforated flats are seriously on my list.

Chloe Sevigny for OC dress, Topshop straw hat, Modcloth necklace, Rachel Comey clogs

Modcloth striped top, Topshop shorts & bag, Steven Alan loafers

Steven Alan dress, UO straw hat, Swedish Hasbeens sandals, Topshop tote

Topshop blouse, Steven Alan skirt, UO hat, Rachel Comey clogs

Etsy Update: Bright Sweaters

My mind maybe in stuck in spring but my body is still firmly planted in the middle of winter. These sweaters are the perfect thing to brighten up those last cold days of winter and transition into the first cool days of spring. I'll be adding all of them to the Etsy shop later tonight!

Thom. Dolan Spring 2011

A month or so ago I ran across a photos of a gal wearing a pretty vintagey cotton dress and a pair of penny loafers. It struck me as the perfect outfit for spring and I thought I saved it for future reference. Well, I guess I forgot to save it, or more likely, forgot where I put it when I did save it!

When I ran across these photos from Thom. Dolan's spring 2011 collection I was reminded of that lost photo. I love the prim vintage style dresses paired with the well-worn masculine shoes. I just thrifted a pair of Bass penny loafers that I'll surely be wearing with cotton dresses this summer.

Etsy Update: Smilin' Gal Vintage

I'm working on adding all of these pretty pieces from Smilin' Gal Vintage to the Etsy shop. If you're looking for the perfect Valentine's Day dress, I think you might find one in this batch. That pink strapless number is such a sweet confection of a dress!

Dear Creatures Spring 2011

Love, love, love this collection! It's no surprise, I guess. Dear Creatures' 60s inspired styles are always an easy favorite. I think the thing that I love most about DC is that it's a line that's so accessible. It's readily available online and not so expensive that it's completely out of my budget. So far I proudly have three Dear Creatures dresses hanging in my closet and I hope to add that adorable romper and the printed dress above to the collection.

I planned on taking outfit photos earlier today when I headed out to the post office with two armloads of Etsy packages. Unfortunately it was pouring freezing rain the entire time I walked to the car... I had to change into my snow boots! By the time I got back home, the rain had stopped but I was in no mood to head back out for photos. I told Tom I was going outside for the fastest photoshoot ever. He laughed when I came back into the house approximately three minutes later proclaiming myself done. Voila! Say hello to the front of my neighbor's house.
