Outfit Post

Hello all!!!

As you all know by now, I have moved to Arizona and I must say I am very happy with my choice to move here. It has been absolutely wonderful and the sights are beautiful. Actually, the above phone is one I took on my way to the Paradise Valley Mall the other day. But not to waste anymore time...on with my dresses.

Oh, Bunny Slipper

Well, I''ve ran across these babies some time ago, but due to my crazy schedule lately with the moving thing I really haven't had much time for anything. But now that I'm in Arizona and have had a chance in between unpacking, I thought I would finally take the moment to share these little babies with all of you. I ran across these on Twitter and just fell in love. I thought they were so cute and even though I haven't had a chance to actually buy a pair yet, I am planning on it.

Well, let me first tell you what they are considering you're all probably waiting for me to spit it out already. lol But  they are the Streetzie's High Heel Bunny Slippers. I believe Streetzie is a mother, daughter duo that created them and they come in three different colors.

Perfect Pink


Classic Black


Powder Blue


P.s. And the best part is, that no bunnies were harmed in the making!! ;)

Shoes for Spring

I don't know about all of you, but I must say that I've been ready for spring for about 3 months now. It has been rather cold here and seeing what the weather has been where I'm going to be moving, has just made me become very impatient. I just can't wait to break out all of my summer dresses and wonderful vintage inspired sandals and vintage shoes for the summer. So, with that I have been poking around the internet to find some new items that I could wear to VLV and California this year when I go on my mini vacations, and I ran across one of my favorite sites that always has the most amazing vintage style shoes. Now this site is MissLFire, and their shoes are to die for. So, here is a little peek at what your truely has been looking at.

Vintage Buys

A view of Camelback Mountain

As you may know, I have sold my house and went on a mini vacation back to Arizona to look for a house. It turned out well...so in other words, I found a house. Yay!

Anyways, I have decided that since I've never really been there except on vacation, and don't really know much about the area, I figured it would be best to rent something for a year to make sure that I like it there.

Smart right?

Anyways, It was beautiful there and the weather was amazing! But because of this move, it has led me to the conclusion that I  need to part with some of my vintage. Now I have tried to sell some items on Etsy but in all, it really hasn't done me much good.

So, last weekend I went to a local Antique mall to sell them 5 of my vintage dresses. But while I was there, I was able to score 2 vintage items for a total of $20. Which was great, but I still need a slap on the wrist for buying more things when I shouldn't have.

So, the first item is a 30's/40's peach satin dressing gown that zips up the front. The collar has a floral quilted pattern on each side and a wonderful fishtail in the back with puff sleeves. :)





The second item is a 40's black crepe dress? with peplum that has a swirly detail on it. Now I found this dress to be really unique so I couldn't pass up on it. Anyways, it zips up the left side but the peplum fabric snaps over the zipper. The back of the dress has a bunch of covered buttons on it but they aren't functional, instead it has a snap closure at the back of the neck. The sleeve are also very unique and I would love to try and explain them to you all, but words are failing me at the moment. Sorry! Anyways, have a look at the pictures and you can let me know what you think.

Film Lengend Dies at 79

ELIZABETH TAYLOR
(2/27/32- 3/23/11)

I just wanted to take a moment to remember such a wonderful film star that graced us for many years with her beauty and talent.  She made her mark on screen in the 1950s with movies like "Cleopatra" to "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof". She was an amazing actress that will be greatly missed!

Happy Valentine's Day

hehe I know it's a day late this year, but I still wanted to take the time to say Happy Valentine's Day to everyone and I hope all of yours was just as wonderful. I also wanted to share the wonderful Valentine's Day I had with my super sweet other half. This year, things weren't really planned out all that well due to me finally getting my house sold, and getting everything ready/packed for our move on April 5th. Yep, that is right! My boyfriend and I will be moving from Harrisburg,Pa to Phoenix,Az on April 5th! It's very exciting!

Since I'm not working at the moment, I was able to spend my entire day just packing more items and organizing. Matt worked until 4:30pm, but when he got home to me, I found a cute stuffed bear holding a card sitting on my night stand. The card read something on the lines of, "I love just loving you!" Which I found to be really sweet and almost cried when we hugged. Yes, I know...I'm a sap! Anyways, we got dressed in some of our best vintage and headed out for our wonderful evening.

Since he wouldn't tell me what he had planned, I was completely in the dark on what our evening was going to be like. But I was excited none the less, and just went with it. We ended up at Giligan's for dinner! He had reserved a table for us in their grand dinning room, ordered wine, and the "Romeo & Juliet" dinner for two. The Romeo was two 6ounce filets with crab meat ontop in a white wine sauce, and the Juliet was a lobster tail, and it came with asparagus and a dinner salad. We then finished it all off with Creme brulee for dessert!

Later, we went dancing for a couple hours with friends before heading home!

January was rather cold, but Febuary has already been starting off on an even bigger foot by dumping even more snow on my lovely little town. And with all of this snow, I really haven't had a chance to get out much. But over this past weekend, my mother and I decided to go out for breakfast and tea. We went to our favorite place in Hershey, Pa. It's called the Hershey Pantry, and they have the most amazing desserts ever, so I couln't pass up this opportunity.

During this trip, I was able to talk her into taking a couple of pics for me to be able to share with all of you!
