Hello there! I've been watching the Olympics a lot; gymnastics, basketball, and swimming are my favorite to watch. I used to play basketball and do gymnastics, and gymnastics has always been my favorite sport to both watch and participate in. Last night I watched all of the women's all around competition. It was so exciting! It was amazing to see both US gymnasts in it win gold and silver! I figured Simone would win gold, she was predicted to, and is consistently almost flawless. I was really hopping Aly would get silver, especially because she lost out on an all around medal four years ago in London, during a tie breaker (she had been tied for bronze). The Russian girl she had tied with four years ago took the bronze last night. So, it was crazy, because they were again SO close to each other this Olympics, but it was so nice to see Aly get the silver. As soon as she finished her floor exercise performance, which was the last performance for her for the all around competition, she just burst into tears. She knew at that point that she would medal. I got a bit teary-eyed myself, ha. It is simply astonishing me what Olympic athletes are capable of; how dedicated, focused, and driven they are. I don't think I could handle the stress!!
In the pictures below I'm wearing my Bernie Dexter kitty print Kelly dress. I admit, I am a crazy cat lady, as in they're my favorite animal. I don't have any kitties currently, and my husband is quite allergic to them, so when we do get a cat, we'll try to adopt a hypoallergenic breed. Maine Coons are my favorite breed, but unfortunately they are not hypoallergenic. Long haired cats and dogs are my favorite kind. I think they're more beautiful.

Hello there! Today I'll just be hanging at home. This coming Sunday Bob and I will be heading to Adamstown, PA to go antiquing. We went there together back in October; it was his first time there, and my first time going with him. I had been years ago as a child many times, when my parents dragged my sister and me there, ha. It's known as the "antique capital of the US". There are tons of antique malls there. The vendor I bought the necklace from in the pictures below, she is actually holding another fruity necklace for me, and I'm excited to pick it up from her. Our wedding anniversary is coming up on June 21, so we are going to Adamstown and the following weekend to NYC for the day, to celebrate.
In the pictures below I'm wearing a new to me Trashy Diva Doris dress. It's my first dress in the Doris style. This dress hasn't been made in years, so it was hard to track down, but I finally did through the Trashy Diva Facebook group I'm in! It's a great basic dress, perfect for accessorizing to add some punch to it. I obviously am a huge fan of novelty prints, but I also like having some solid dresses, and most of my solid dresses are red. This taco wristlet is seriously the best! I used it yesterday when I went shopping in PA with my mom. Betsey Johnson makes the cutest purses/wristlets! I want the new avocado one, too, ha. The brooch I'm wearing in the pictures below is vintage; I got it yesterday at an antique mall.

Hello there! Well, in spite of how gloomy out it was yesterday, we decided to change it and go to New Hope. It ended up drizzling towards the end of our trip, but we only had to walk in it for a little bit. It was a little cool out too, but I resisted putting on my light jacket; didn't want to hide my fabulous outfit, ha! We had a good time, as we always do there. It's a really beautiful, artsy, funky, small business oriented town. The drive in is really scenic too, there are a few towns on the way over that are similar to New Hope (but don't have as much to do there). We go there about four times a year.
This time I actually bought clothing, which I've never done there before. There's a store called Thirteen Vintage on the main street. Last time I went in there, one of the shop owners recognized me from Instagram, and that was the first time that had ever happened to me in this area. The owners are super nice, and I got to talk to them for quite awhile about vintage repoduction. They give me a discount too, which is so sweet! I bought a L indy Bop dress and Sourpuss cropped cardi. It's so great to be able to try on these brands in person, instead of just ordering online. I'll get to do that again (at Enz's) in early June, when Bob and I go to NYC for the day. Enz's carries brands like Bernie Dexter, Trashy Diva and Retrospec'd, so I'm very excited to go again!
I wore my new to me Trashy Diva red waterlilies day dress, that I posted a blog about on Friday. I tried to style my hair "40's", since the dress is definitely 40's inspired. My hair didn't turn out exactly right, but that's okay.
