Playing catch -up...

I know I've been incredibly busy lately with all the wonderful vintage adventures I've been having this summer. But with summer slowly coming to an end and with August coming up rapidly, I wanted to start sharing some of these adventures with all of you.



Today we're going to to start with the 20th Annual World War II Weekend that goes on every year in Reading, Pa. This year, all the magic happened on June 4,5,and 6th at the Mid Atlantic Air Museum. This year had to have been the biggest and most amazing one I have experienced!



During my time there I got to see all the wonderful aircrafts, experience a Live 1940's radio show, the 1940's fashion show, flying demonstrations, swing dance, and buy some outstanding vintage items.



Unfortunatly, my pictures are lacking! When I got there, I realized I had left my camera at my house...so my iphone camera had to do!


Gas Station!


Our Camp!


The Nazi Camp!



Yes, my hair was 2-tone!

It's Summer...

An when it comes to summer, it means beach time! All the fun in the sun...palm trees! Well, maybe not palm trees unless you're lucky enought to travel somewhere that has those. But for most of us that just travel to the local beaches, it's about the sand between our toes.



When it comes to great beaches, it also means bathingsuits! What suit should I bring?..etc.



Well, I have put together a great bathingsuit and accessories to keep you inspired for the summer. (psst!) They are also currently available for purchase!!

My Arizona Vacation!!

Ok, so now that I have totally slacked on actually writing this post. I've finally decided to give into it and just write it. Having not been myself lately, being non-vintage, I've just been avoiding this. I'm not sure what has gotten into me, but for some reason I've just been feeling a lack of inspiration vintagely.

Over Arizona!

Anyways...my vacation was wonderful! It was everything I needed, which was complete r&r from my daily life. Now being back home, I can't help but miss the place and long for the time to be back there! But I think that is something we all go through after such a great vacation.


The hotel!

Fish pond in the hotel!(the turtle is in the red circle)

While I was there, I stayed at the Embassy Suits in Pheonix. They were amazing, like nothing I have ever seen. When you first walk up to it, you see beautiful palm trees and all kinds of tropical goodness. Then you walk into the actualy hotel, and it's like stepping into another world. The lobby was normal with the front desk and everything, but then you notice that there is a pond with fish and turtles through the whole thing. And, you have to walk over mini bridges to get to different areas. They also had complimentary breakfast every moring from 6am to 9am. Which was also amazing simply because the one lady made home made omelettes.

My most memorable highlight of my vacation, was our trip to Frank Llyod Wright's Taliesin West which as designed 1937 to 1959. It was the house that was created after the famous Falling Water that is actually located here in Pa.

The Pacific

Is the tv series to watch! It is a ten-part television World War II mini-series, produced by HBO, Seven Network Australia and DreamWorks, that premiered on March 14, 2010. It focuses on three United States Marine Corps that have been shipped out to the Pacific. The costumes and photography are goregous. A must watch!

I Need A Vacation!

As we start coming into the spring and summer months. There is only one thing that is on my mind. And that would be VACATIONS! -What airline to take? Where would I like to go? Are there any amazing vintage hotels I can stay at? These are just some of the things I start to think about aside from bathing suits, which we will come to in another post!

This year my beau and I will be taking our vacation in Arizona. But wait!!!! I don't have any luggage! And luggage is another essential part of the vacation process! Afterall, it does carry all of our wonderful vintage summer clothing. So, I had to buy some!

The 50's pink and white samsonite luggage would do! But now I'm missing the uber cute matching train case and hat box! Whatever shall I do?

So, if any of you wonderful ladies run across these... I'll be more than happy to give you $$$. And you would make this GlamourDoll, a very happy and matching vintage vacationer!

My Little Valentine's Day

I Love Valentine's Day!

It give us all an excuse to spend the day with your sweetheart. And that makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. I guess you can say I'm a bit of a romantic. Actually, I love romance and anything dealing with love! So, I'm deff coo-coo over this day!.....Anywho, when I woke up that Sunday morning; I was surprised with a huge vase full of pink, red, and white flowers. Yes, my hunny did it again!

We started out the day with exchanging the presents we had gotten for each other. I opened the biggest package first. It was a bunch of books! The first was Lana Turner: The Memories, the Myths, the Movies by her daughter Cheryl Crane. The second was TCM's Leading Couples and the third was Great Kisses...and Famous Lines Right Out of the Movies.

I was very happy!

On the other hand, I had gotten him the $400 reproduction vintage watch he has been drooling after since we first met! He was very happy...jumping up and down on the bed happy!

Lol.

After watching all romantic love stories on TCM all day, we went out for dinner at Gilihan's and had a nice steak dinner. Then off to the movies to see Valentine's Day! It was a wonderful day!
