I've Got Nothing to Wear

...to a wedding! My brother-in-law is getting married this June, so I've already begun thinking about what I'm going to be wearing (and getting in shape to wear it!). I love any excuse to get all dolled up, so forgive me for turning it into a bit of a production. These details can sneak up on you if you're not careful, and I don't want to be caught at the last minute without a dress.

Luckily, I got an email the other day from Victoria's Dress, asking me to check out their new collection. They've got everything in stock from wedding gowns to flirty prom dresses, and I thought it would be the perfect place to have a browse for a formal dress for the wedding I'll be attending.

I started off in their bridesmaid dress section, believe it or not - because bridesmaid dresses tend to be simple, classic styles that are pretty universally figure-flattering, and you really can't go wrong with the prices. I'm still debating whether I want a long or knee-length dress, but I definitely want something that's light and flowy so that I'm not sweating in my Spanx (flashback to my own June wedding).

Current favorites (from left to right):

How about this navy A-line style? It's got some unique character, and it's a fit that I know looks great on my body shape. I think it would be a dress that I would definitely wear more than once. (Side note: I just noticed that it's available in a longer length, too! Now I'm definitely  leaning toward this one, if I decide to go with a full-length dress!)

This little purple party number (it's a color that I love, and I know looks great on my skin tone) could easily be paired with a wrap, for church appropriateness, or if I get a little bit chilly in an air conditioned building. Plus, I can totally picture myself dancing the night away in this one.

This is a little more formal than the others, but this long emerald green gown is beautiful, albeit not the most practical choice for this particular occasion. But then again, when has practicality ever stopped me?

Which one is your favorite?

New & Old

This week brought (you guessed it) more snow! Despite being stuck indoors the majority of the week due to the weather, I grabbed a friend of mine who had flown in from LA and decided to stage a little photo shoot in my apartment. At night. In winter. My "professional lighting kit" consisted of one of those disposable foil baking pans duct taped to a floor lamp. Resourceful is, after all, my middle name.

So... all of these items are newly available (or newly updated!) in the shop. Head over and check them out... there's something for every season. The plaid maxi skirt above is my current favorite; I researched the designer and the company that made these beautiful USA-made wool skirts in the 60's and 70's. I'm sure it won't be hanging around here for long!

There's an adorable little 60's shift dress that brings out the Twiggy side of anyone who slips it on. It's in beautiful condition, and I love its whimsical prints.

This criss-cross denim dress is an absolutely fantastic vintage steal. It's one of those unique pieces that you just can't find anywhere else. Go on, go check out all of the new inventory in the shop!! After all, spring it just around the corner, so I'm told. 

So Glad it's Plaid

So it's no surprise (to me, at least) that my seasonal obsession this year is PLAID. Buffalo check, tartan, classic or grunge, blue or red, green or yellow - I am grade A obsessed with plaid at the moment. I'm like a tiny Paul Bunyan, but instead of a blue ox, I have an endless supply of pumpkin spice lattes and a predisposition for climbing trees.

Also, it's apple cider season! Words cannot fully describe how much this thrills me. 

A couple glimpses of some AMAZING new vintage skirts and dresses- plaid abundant! - that are new in my shop. Go check em' out!!

How gorgeous is this plaid? It's a 1970's maxi skirt that I'm so in love with. And it's for sale!

Tights are back in season! Be prepared to see oodles of them on my legs in the weeks/months to come <3 

Light White Bright

It's a bit of an overcast day here in Atlantic City, but it's still so hot and humid. Right now I'm just lounging in bed, catching up on emails and planning the day ahead. 

Mini getaways just make me feel so free!
