My vintage is showing!

I'm alive guys!!! Well actually, I've always been. But on here.... I've just been MIA.
Just wanted to share a few of my recent buys with you guys. My vintage scarf was a thrift find I scored for $2.00 while out shopping with my sister. My vintage 1950's button-up top was a gift from my sister when I went up to visit her. We found it at Hot Couture Vintage in Santa Rosa. Boy was I lucky to find it for $16.00 because everything at the store was super expensive! As for my jeans they are my trusty old BDG cigarette ankle pants from urban outfitters and man, do I love them!!! The Bass wingtip  oxfords were a spontaneous purchase made online one random day.
Well this is all for today! Thanks for my followers who are still with me even after my long hiatus from the blogging world. But do not fret.... I will not be gone for so long again this time. Have a wonderful day everybody!!!!

My most AWESOME thrift find EVER!!!!

I am back and boy, am I excited! So do the pictures say it all??!!! If not, well then let me just reiterate: I found a CHRISTIAN DIOR silk blouse!!!! For 8 dollars!!!!
I got extremely lucky at this thrift store in Napa. I had almost passed it up, when it's glorious magenta color, practically shined its wonderfulness on me! It fits perfectly and I cannot wait to style it up! Have you guys ever scored gems like these??!!! Do tell, do tell!!

All Vintage Event presented by DNA & Mousevox @ Sub-Mission

This was the outfit I decided to wear to the All Vintage Everything presented by DNA and Mousevox event! I love love LOVE this vintage 1970s dress I thrifted at the goodwill sometime last year. It has been patienty waiting in my closet for the day I could wear it out. Good things come to those who wait, dress! 

Anyways about the event. It was a lovely gathering filled with pretty vintage clothing vendors and awesome people. I got to meet Annalise from Hummingbird Girls and let me just say, she is just as sweet as I imagined her to be! I just wish I were a bit better at being more social when at gatherings like this because then I could really get to know people and even make some new friends. Oh well maybe next time.

I did however, manage to score a vintage collar dress from one of the vendors there for 20 bucks! It's a 90s rampage dress with a vintage aesthetic to it. As you can see below it is such a pretty dress and I already can't wait to wear it! Sorry that I couldn't take more pictures from the event, but my lack of social skills made it impossible for me to snap more pics. At least I managed to snap a few of my two good buddies; Hok and Natalie. Can't wait for the next adventure, guys!!!

A Post-Thanksgiving Day Outfit

Excuse me guys for the belated Thanksgiving post but it could not be avoided. I went into a turkey coma and I just woke up...nah, just kidding! I have been too busy enjoying life with friends and family, that I have not been able to find the time, to sit at my laptop, edit my pictures, and write up a post. I think you guys have all gone through this at one point or another. I mean...it's good to take time off the cyber world and take the time to enjoy the 'real' life!

As for the outfit, it was totally unplanned and totally last minute. I had so many outfits planned in my head, that my head, just decided to play a trick on me and go with this one instead. Shame on you head, but also a good choice! Yes, I talk to myself sometimes, but only when in agreement with myself. (insert smug smile here) 

So do you guys like it?! Well if you don't, feel free to NOT leave a comment below, for my comment page does not accept any negativity. Unless... it's constructive negativity, in which case, I may just have to think about it. But really guys, a sign of life on this blog would really make my day. Oh and Happy Belated Thanksgiving!
