Flamingos & Lobsters

Hello there! Yesterday I went antiquing in a town about 25 minutes from me. The only thing I bought was a bangle for 50 cents, ha! It's just a red wood bangle. I thought about buying a Pyrex casserole dish that was a beautiful shade of blueish lavendar, but ended up not doing it. I'm going antiquing in Adamstown, PA with my mom in three weeks, and I'll probably find a good amount of items there that I want, so I didn't want to buy much yesterday. Adamstown is THE place to go for antiquing. I last went six months ago with my mom, and am excited to go back. They have tons of antique malls there, and we usually go to about five of them. My parents sometimes go out and spend all weekend there. 
Bob and I went out for a couple of drinks last night, to a bar about 10 minutes from us, that we hadn't been to in a few months. Other than that and antiquing, I just did a lot of reading and Netflix watching yesterday. I'm not doing much today either, a typical Sunday for me. 
Tuesday Bob and I are going to a family picnic at my parent's house, and Friday we'll be going back to their house for my mom's birthday.
In the pictures below I'm wearing my trusty Hell Bunny flamingo print dress. I got it from Unique Vintage over three years ago, and I still love the shape of the dress, and the print! It's very comfy, too. I added a hook & eyelet in the back, above the zipper, to keep the zipper up. The zipper had been slipping down a bit, because of my chest. 
My new mint bangle I got in Nashville, along with my new pink bangle that Bob gave me for our anniversary, both match so well with the dress. I love this combo of blue, mint, & pink, and I also love that my Luxulite lobster necklace matches this dress so well. I don't have a lot of dresses with that shade of dark red/burgundy that would match the lobsters in the necklace.

Flamingos & Lobsters

Hello there! I haven't been up to much this week, as of yet.  I ran a litle errand after work each night this week, but that's been it. On Saturday Bob and I are going to Bethlehem to go out to eat, and go to a store. We are also going to check out an antique store on our way back home (well, it's a bit out of the way), that we've never been to before. It's also Bob's dads' birthday this weekend, and so we'll be going to his parents' for cake either Saturday night or Sunday afternoon; not sure which yet.
In the pictures below I'm wearing my Hell Bunny flamingo dress that I got from Unique Vintage about three years ago. It's an oldie, but a goody. I think it's a flattering style, and I loveee the print. Can't go wrong with a good flamingo print! I also have this Hell Bunny style in a seahorse print. I used to have a lot of Hell Bunny, but I'm not very into the brand anymore. The quality isn't the best (material is thin), and also I haven't really been into their prints in awhile. They are pretty cheap in price, which is great. I have one other flamingo pritn dress (Banned Apparel brand), but I like this Hell Bunny one the best. I always pair it with this flaming brooch, because how could I not?? I also thought my new Splendette bangles pair quite nicely with the outfit.

Under The Sea

Hello there! We're not doing much today, just staying at home, like a typical Sunday. We have one more episode to go for season 4 of "Shameless". I can't believe that's it, and then we have to wait until whenever Netflix gets the next season. This season has NOT disappointed! Yesterday was much cooler out and a lot less humid than it had been this whole last week, so it was a much needed reprieve. I'm not sure how long that's going to stick around though! 
I started packing for our trip yesterday. It's so close now, and I just want to be en route already!
In the pictures below I'm wearing my Hell Bunny seahorse print dress I got from Modcloth over a year ago. I don't wear pastel clothing too much, but I really love this adorable print. It's a really comfy dress, too. In the order pictures below are my new BAIT shoes! I actually returned the green, because it was too dull for me; they are more of an olive green. I really LOVE the Roni style I got; those are the round toe ones. The blue ones are such a pretty shade of blue, and it's a new shade I didn't have any other styles in. I'm going to pair them with my Trashy Diva red fans dress that was in my last post. They don't match perfectly, but it's close enough for me. 
BAIT is my favorite shoe brand, if you hadn't noticed. They are so cute, retro looking, and comfy, and I love that they've been releasing more options of new colors and styles lately.

PA Shopping Day

Hello there! Today my mom and I went out to Mifflinburg and Lewisburg, PA to do some shopping. We usually go out together two times a year, but this year we are going three times; we'll go back one more time in September. I got a few pieces from The Stamm House, my favorite store out there. I have a lot of pieces from them now. They do vintage reproduction decorations, mainly holiday decorations, but today I also got a gnome and a monkey there, which obviously aren't "holiday" decorations. They create all the pieces in their workshop in their house (their store is also in their house); they buy vintage molds, and create the item, and then handpaint them. My mom and I always have a fun time going out there. My mom also brought her dog, Heidi today. Heidi slept at my feet/on my feet the whole time.      
I'm going to be cleaning, doing laundry, running to Target, and not much else today. It's hot and humid out, yet again. But, I'm not complaining! I do wish the humidity would die down, but otherwise, I am loving the hot weather. Wish I lived closer to the beach though!
In the pictures below I'm wearing my Hell Bunny poppy print dress. I'm not as into the brand as I used to be, and have sold some of my dresses, but I really love this one. Poppies are gorgeous flowers.

Blue & Yellow

Hello there! I had a good Easter. I went to church, and to my grandparent's house. Bob came with me to my grandparent's, which was nice, as normally we each go to our own family's holiday functions. I got to hang out with my grandparent's kitty, who is pictured below. She's the sister of the cat my parents had for years, until she ran away in August. She's a Maine Coon, and they're my favorite cat breed. 
Bob and I booked three nights in Charleston for this July! I'm very excited to see Charleston for the first time. I've heard great things about it from a lot of people, especially from my mom, sister and good friend, who all love it. We're also going to Nashville, and a couple other yet undecided towns. We're doing a Southern road trip. We've never been to Nashville, either. We love exploring new cities. Speaking of trips, is it too soon to start packing for Vegas yet?!?!? We leave two weeks from tomorrow! Ah, that sounds so close, doesn't it? Finally!
In the pictures below I'm wearing my Hell Bunny sunflower skirt. This skirt is so cheery; I loveee the shade of blue that the background color is. That's my favorite shade of blue. The blue Erstwilder milkshake brooch is a pretty perfect match. I have these shoes in three colors, and they are so comfortable. When the weather starts to get a little warmer around this time of year, I wear them as much as possible, only it gets cooler again!

Big Polka Dots

Hello there! I'm not doing too much today, just reading, working out, and watching TV/relaxing with Bob. I may run to Marshall's and Target, too. The next two nights I'm meeting up with a friend (different friend each night), which will be nice.
In the pictures below I'm wearing one of my Hell Bunny polka dot dresses. I bought this one from Modern Pinup over a year ago. I don't wear it that often, and I'm not sure why. I adore this shade of blue, plus I like the fun, bigger polka dots! I have two other Hell Bunny polka dot dresses with smaller polka dots. The fruit necklace I'm wearing is my favourite of my fruit necklaces, and the blue in it matches this dress so perfectly.

Pastel Scotties

Hello there! It's going to be a very hot (90 degrees) & sunny weekend here. Bob is working today. I was going to go to the beach with a friend, but for some reason, I just don't feel like it. Not sure why. I'm going to clean the apartment, do laundry, work out, and get some outside outfit pictures in. 
We have gone to pretty much everywhere I wanted to go this summer for day trips. We could go back to some of those places (like New York City, New Hope, etc.), but I don't really want to spend the money, because in September we are going away twice! After that, it'll be awhile before we go on another trip. We will be going away in April (not sure where yet), so the only time we'd go away between September is April is may for one night, somewhere close.
In the pictures below I'm wearing my Hell Bunny scottie dog skirt. It's actually the only animal print I have in my wardrobe! Surprisingly, I have yet to own any cat prints. There is a new Heart of Haute atomic cat print that's available for pre-order now, though, and I do like it. I may order the red skirt...we'll see. This outfit is pretty bastel/white based, so it's definitely paler than most of my outfits. But, that's okay with me. I don't always need to be SUPER bright! I love the pastel pink & blue together. My seahorse necklace and diner brooch match it so well.

Under The Sea

Hello there! My family bbq ended up being moved to today, because of the rain yesterday. So, my mom had my grandparents and Bob and me over for lunch yesterday. My sister and her boyfriend were there too, they came up Friday, and stayed over night. She had us over yesterday, beause my sister and her boyfriend can't go to the bbq today, they'll be at his parent's. I'm also going to Bob's parent's today, and not to my family's bbq. My sister will be moving in a month with her boyfriend, to Nashville.
It's officially a week until vacation! Wow, it feels great to say that. This week will be super busy and chaotic at work, but hopefully that'll make the days fly by, because I just can not wait to be relaxing on the beach with my love and drinking delicious orange crushes. It doesn't really get better than that.
I love this seahorse Hell Bunny dress so much. I'm normally not too into wearing pastel clothing, but I don't mind it with this adorable dress. Of course I always have to pair it with this seahorse necklace.

Poppies In July

Hello there! It's July already, and I couldn't be happier about it. Our vacation month! We leave in a week and a half. After counting down for months, it's finally very close! One of the very best things about vacation (to me) is overpacking my favourite clothing, and then changing at least once a day to showcase all my best outfits! Since we are driving this trip, I can overpack as much as I want. I'm also very excited that I just have to get through tomorrow, and then my three day weekend starts. I'm really looking forward to relaxing on Friday and also getting some things done. I'm going to bake chocolate oatmeal cookies to take to the BBQs with me on Saturday. They are one of my all time favourite cookies.
We had bad storms in the area last night. There was even a tornado not too far from us. I was woken up by super loud thunder, at 4 a.m. this morning. I love summer so much, but the only thing I don't love about it, is getting woken up by thunderstorms when I have work the next day! At least our power didn't go out at all.
In the pictures below I'm wearing my Hell Bunny poppies dress. I don't own too many floral pieces, but I love this print, and love that there's some yellow in it, so I can pair my yellow B.A.I.T. heels with it.

Change Is Good

Hello there! I am so excited for this three day weekend to arrive. It will just be so nice to have an extra day off. I really hope to get a hair cut this weekend. I've been wanting to get one for awhile now. I tried to make an appointment at my usual place, but the phone number doesn't work. They must have closed, which really stinks. I hate going somewhere new. I am planning on going Saturday morning to Super Cuts in town. I've never been to one before. 
I know their prices are good though. I'm not sure yet just how short I'll go, but I really need a change. 
Tomorrow night I'm meeting up with my good friend for a drink. I think Saturday night we are going to my parent's for dinner, and Sunday we are going to Bob's aunt and uncle's for a BBQ. Monday I'm just staying home.
In the pictures below I'm wearing my first Hell Bunny dress. I have it in lavendar, too. But, I like this one the best. I have so many accessories that pair so well with a red dress, too.

Pink Gingham

Hello there! Tonight I met my good friend at Panera for dinner. I hadn't been there in a little while. It was definitely good to go back, and have broccoli cheddar soup again, ha. Saturday I'll be going out to Pennsylvania with my mom, to go shopping for Easter decorations. The one shop we go to is so neat; they hand make everything, in antique style, as well. My mom has a lot of stuff from them, and I have a few items from them, for Christmas, Halloween & Easter. They take their wares to antique toy shows, which is how my mom met them. When I get home from that, Bob & I are headed to his parent's house to celebrate his dad's 60th birthday.
Only one week from today we'll be on our way to Vegas! I am extremly excited now that it's so close! It's hard to get it out of my head, ha. Bob doesn't express his excitement the way I do, but I know he is really looking forward to it. I know what clothing I'll be bringing, but I'm not going to pack most of it until right before we leave, because I don't want it to get any more wrinkled than it has to.
In the pictures below I'm wearing a Hell Bunny gingham print dress. I also have this dress in yellow and white gingham. I don't really have any other plaid in my wardrobe.
