Hello there! It's a beautiful, sunny day out, and Bob and I are leaving in the early afternoon to head to Bethlehem for an early dinner & drinks, and to go to the Moravian Bookstore. Other than that, I'll just be doing some cleaning and laundry, and relaxing at home. Tomorrow I'll be going to church with my mom and sister, and going to my grandparent's house for Easter.
In the pictures below I'm wearing my new Banned Apparel skirt that I bought from Viva Dulce Marina. Banned first started showing pictures of this skirt about two months ago, and I was very excited for its release. I love this fun 1950's drive-in/diner print, and the use of bright shades of orange, pink & blue in it. Not many skirts or dresses have much orange in them. Speaking of orange, Oblong Box Shop finally released their furniture skirt and tiki drink skirt last night, and I ordered both of them right away. The furniture skirt has an orange background. I like the tiki drink skirt even more though, and can't wait to receive them both. I'll definitetly have to bring the tiki drink skirt to Vegas!

Hello there, and happy spring!! I'm so glad it has arrived! Even though the weather here has gotten cooler than it was last week, I'm just happy it's officially spring, as the season I hate is officially over! Winer always seems to drag on endlessly, and summer always flies by, at least for me.
Last night I watched "Brooklyn" and "Carol" On Demand. Wow, I LOVED "Brooklyn". It definitely lived up to the hype. I'm just so in love with Ireland/all thing Irish as it is, and this movie just really got to me. I knew it would make me cry, ha. I love the actress, Saoirse Ronan. She was also in "Atonement" and "The Lovely Bones", both of which I've seen. I really didn't know what her decision would be (whether to stay in Ireland or go back to Brooklyn), but I liked the way the movie ended. "Carol" I wasn't so crazy about. I love Cate Blanchett, and both movies were set int he 50's, so I enjoyed seeing the wardrobes and decor, but "Carol" moved slowly, and didn't have a good ending. Today we're going to watch "The Big Short" On Demand. That movie should be more of Bob's speed, ha.
In the pictures below I'm wearing my Bernie Dexter cherry blossoms dress. It's the perfect dress for the first day of spring. I had also wetset my hair the night before I took these pictures, and I think my hair turned out decently. Sometimes it turns out crappy, and I ended up just straightening my hair to take out the bad curls.

Hello there! The weather's warmed up a bit here, after our record setting snowfall last weekend. It was actually in the 40's today and sunny, which felt nice! There's no snow in the forecast either, which is great. 2.5 months from today we leave for Vegas...but, who's counting, ha? I would fast forward over winter (well, other than Christmas) every year, if I could. Who needs it?! I certainly don't!
In the pictures below I'm wearing my Pin Up Girl Clothing oranges Jenny dress. This is definitely my favorite PUG dress, and also one of my fav dresses in general. As you are well aware, I love a good fruit print! I love pairing it with my green BAIT Idas, and my new Rough Seas Designs fruit purse. Wearing the yellow cropped cardi, orange belt, and green Idas brings out all the colors in the dress.

Hello there! Well, it finally stopped snowing, after getting two feet dumped on us. We went from not getting over half an inch of snow this winter, to this; pretty amazing. This has to be one of our worst snowstorms of all time as well, in fact I'm pretty sure we officially had a blizzard, which is crazy. I only remember us having one other blizzard (in '96). I know my sister (in Nashville) got around 8 inches, which her boyfriend thought was a record for Nashville. The weather forecasters usually get the forecast wrong, they hype it all up, with not enough results, but in this case, they underestimated. Bob was barely home yesterday, and will probably be gone most of the day and evening today. I can't leave, because I don't have a shovel here, and can't get my car out.
I really didn't think the mail would come yesterday, considering how bad it was out, but it did come. My new fruit purse and sprinkles duvet cover and pillowcases arrived, as seen below. I had to wash & dry the cover and pillowcases immediately, & put them on my bed! The set is so darn cute. Luckily, Bob doesn't mind my aesthetic, ha!
In the pictures below I'm wearing my new Modcloth rainbow stripe skirt. I'm glad it was brighter in person that my computer monitor showed. I used to show at Modcloth A LOT, but the past year or so, they hadn't been selling hardly anything I was interested in. They hardly had any bright, fun novelty prints. This skirt is perfect though, and I also got a rainbow dress and pair of BAIT shoes recently. The skirt and dress I got are from their new inhouse Modcloth brand line.

Hello there! Last night Bob & I watched "The Big Lebowski". I had seen it once before (Bob owns it), but not in years. I just love the Cohen brothers, they are probably my favorite directors/writers. Their movie "Fargo" is one of my all time favs. Steve Buscemi is in both of those movies, and he's my favourite actor. We've been watching the TV show "Fargo", and t's been getting better as the season goes on. It's one of the few shows on TV that we like.
Today I'm cleaning, doing laundry, and working out, and tonight we're going to my parent's house for dinner. Bob's parents are coming as well. I'll be seeing my parents again in a few days, for Thanksgiving at my grandparent's house. The four day weekend is creeping closer! Bob only has off on Thursday. I'm very much looking forward to Friday, to relax, decorate, and shop online. I may decorate a bit this weekend, too.
In the pictures below I'm wearing my Oblong Box Shop Moais in Space skirt. I have this skirt in the puffer fish print, too. I had debated ordering one for months, and then I finally decided to try it, and ordered this one first. I love both of them! They don't wrinkle at all, and are nice and full, with adorable prints. Let's be real, there's nothing I love more than a good novelty print, is there?

Hello there! Today I'm meeting my friend for lunch at Panera, and tomorrow I'm going to Adamstown with Bob, which I'm very excited about! I know we won't have enough time there to see all the antique places, or even most, but it'll still be good to get to go to some.
I got to see my parents Thursday night when we went to visit my great uncle. Last night Bob and I attempted to watch the first episode of "Wentworth", an Australian prison drama. I unfortunately fell asleep for most of it, ha. Not because it was boring though! He saw the whole thing, and liked it. He had heard from some cousins that they liked it better than "Orange is the New Black", which is hard to believe! But, I definitely want to watch that episode in full.
In the pictures below I'm wearing my adorable unicorns and rainbows dress I got at Wicked in New Orleans. It's Retrolicious brand. Retrolicious chooses the best fabrics to make dresses out of! I have a quite a few of their dresses and skirts now. I wish they'd come out with more longer length dresses. They don't make many that are longer than this, but I do have one that is.

Hello there! I am so very happy that it's the weekend! I don't have many plans for today yet, other than working out, cleaning, doing laundry, and take outside outfit pics. Bob's going to cut my hair this weekend, and I am excited for that. He has never cut my hair before, but he cuts his own, and does a good job. I trust him. I just hate going to the salon, and always put it off, but I desperately need a hair cut now.
In the pictures below I'm wearing my latest Bernie Dexter dress. I scored this one on eBay, and for half the price of a normal Bernie. The leaf print obviously makes it very well suited for wearing it in fall, but...I may be wearing it in other seasons too, ha. I really don't like to pay full price for a Bernie dress, so I scour eBay for her items. Luckily, she often lists dress for about half off in her own eBay shop. This dress isn't as bright as most of my clothing, but that's okay. The shape of the dress and the cute print more than make up for it. Also, wearing my bright blue cropped cardigan with it brightens it up a bit. I just need to get a brooch that matches! My necklace kind of looks like leaves though, so that pairs quite nicely with the outfit.

Hello there! I'm so happy that this is the last day of February! I really can't stand January or February, because of the weather. Spring is 20 days away, and I am so excited. Winter is basically the bane of my existence, and I've always felt that way. Also, one month from tomorrow Bob and I are Las Vegas bound! Since we're in the final stretch now, it's going to be really hard to wait. It's going to be an interesting feeling to be somewhere (Viva Las Vegas) where I don't stick out like a sore thumb because of my style, but I'll actually blend in!
Today Bob and I are going out to eat at a restaurant in Pennsylvania, an hour away. We're going to a store in the same town too. It's the oldest book store in the U.S., and they always have really cute seasonal decorations. Hopefully they will have some Easter ones out.
In the pictures below I'm wearing my new Bernie Dexter skirt. I really adore the print on the skirt! It is so perfect for BBQs, picnics, and summertime in general. But, that doesn't mean I won't wear it in other seasons too, ha. I'm also wearing one of my new Erstwilder brooches. I received three from Australia this week, from Estwilder's new American Diner collection. They are right up my alley!

Hello there! We are still in the grips of a deep freeze here. I've had about as much as I can take of this. Spring is a month away, but right now I'd settle for temperatures that are more than twenty-five degrees! I wouldn't be happy with that ha, but it'd be better than what we have now.
Tomorrow I'm going to Panera for dinner with my good friend. We haven't gone there in about a month, so I'm pretty excited to be going! I always get broccoli cheddar soup with bread. Saturday night Bob's family is coming over for dinner, and Bob's making us quesadillas. I haven't had them in awhile, so I'm really looking forward to it. He makes them better ones than I've had anywhere else, too.
In the pictures below I'm wearing my newest Hell Bunny skirt! I ordered it from a website in England, and very eargely waited its arrival. It came yesterday, and I immediately put it on. The colours are nice and bright, and I just adore it. I'm usually pretty picky when it comes to cherry prints, but I really like how this is different than most cherry prints, because of the gingham background and also the size of the cherries; they're quite large. I'm really loving the Spring 2015 Hell Bunny line. Not all of it is available yet, but I've seen a lot of previews online. This is my second piece, and I have a dress on the way.

Hello there! I'm so glad the weekend is here. It's supposed to snow today, which is really annoying, because yet again Bob will have to go out and salt/plow, probably on Sunday morning. Today I'll be cleaning, doing laundry, running a couple errands, and working out. Bob's going to cook my favourite dinner tonight, tomato tart. (It's very similar to pizza.) We're going out to dinner tomorrow night with my family for my grandfather's 75th birthday. I didn't want to go out out to eat two nights in a row, and also Valentine's Day is so crazy busy at restaurants, it's just not much fun to go out to eat when it's like that. He surprised me with a Bath & Body Works gift card, which is great because I had just run out of my B&BW lotion. They have the best lotion.
I'm SO glad February is half over. I just do not like January or February. I hate how fast time flies, except when it comes to January and February. I always want them to be over right away. They are just so miserable, weather wise. Also, now that we are half way through February, it's a month and a half until we got to Las Vegas!! I've of course been thinking of outfits to bring already. It's going to be such a neat experience to go to Viva Las Vegas, and see thousands of girls with similar style to me. No one around where I live dresses anything like me.
In the pictures below I'm wearing my Steady Clothing space print skirt. This is the only item I have of this brand, and I really love it. I think the print is super cute and kitschy.

Hello there! I'm so glad it's the weekend again, and that it is the last day of January! I just hate January and February because of the winter, I just always want them to fly by. Tonight Bob and I are going out to dinner at an Irish Pub at a casino about an hour away. We're going to have a couple drinks after dinner at the casino, too. I was going to go up to my parent's house tomorrow afternoon, but it depends on the weather. We're supposed to get snow, again. I won't be watching the Super Bowl; I have zero interest in football.
In the pictures below I am wearing quite a rainbow outfit, which makes me happy, because being colourful just brings me joy. This dress is obviously better suited for spring/summer/fall, and I didn't actually wear this outside of the apartment the day I took these pictures. It's a very thin dress, and it has been absolutely freezing out. I have this dress in a popsicle print as well. I really like the shape of the dress, and think it's quite flattering. The brand is Emily & Fin. They have some really cute prints. Modcloth has a decent selection of the brand.
