April in Review:

April went by so fast.  I say that every time.  I need to work on my sense of time.  I know I haven't posted a ton these last few months...sorry...

 I had to share this girl with you guys.  She is my screen saver right now.  Creepy, ya?  I just love all of the pink in this photo shoot. And her hair!



My favorite event:

I went to St. George with Anna!  I know this picture shows what I packed but believe me when I tell you that was most definitely not my favorite part.  The only thing worse is unpacking!

It's the Little Things

• I went to my first dance!  It was so so fun!  We went to dinner and danced all night!
• My first dance was my first date! You would not believe how many pictures were taken.  I felt like I was on a stage because so many people were there taking so many pictures!
• It was a blind date!  I had never met Nate before going to prom! It was an adventure!
• I wore a vintage dress!  My dress was from the 1950s!  I loved it so much!  It did unfortunately prove to  be a problem, though.  I know my limits!  I will never wear a 23 inch waist again!  I felt like i was being sucked in by a corset! The lines on my tummy left over say enough.
• Happy birthday Mom!  
• I got to decorate the kitchen for her birthday!  I realized now why no one decorated the kitchen for my birthday!  It is because I do all of the decorating while my dad and sister blew up balloons!

What I Wore: 4-28-12

 I walked out my front door to take outfit pictures and found my friends! Yay friends!  We hung out some and I got to try on my awesome vintage prom dress for them(which they loved)!! Nina is on the left and Anna is to my right.

I love this dress so much!  I haven't worn it since last spring!  This week has been full of so many of those darn casual days so I knew I had to make up for it!  This outfit totally makes me feel like I should be in an episode of Mad Men. I love vintage wiggle dresses!

Its the Little Things:

• Remember my big surprise? I am going to prom!!!  I did not want to announce it until after I answered the boy.
• I am going to prom with a boy I do not know.  It is pure luck I am going to a prom this year!  you see, I am not going to my school's prom.  I am going to a friend's friend's friend's prom.  Need more explaining?  Anna was asked to prom by a friend she has known since birth.  He has a best friend who needed a date.  I didn't have a date, and really wanted to go to prom.  Fate!
• You can bet that my prom dress is vintage but you will have to wait until next Friday to see it!
• I stayed home sick two days this week.  It is not fun being sick, but it was nice to have a break from school.  No worries, I will get my grades up, Mom!
• ...I fell down the stairs...again.  And I have a ginormous bruise to show for it on my shin.

Sunday's Style: 4-22-12

 Sorry for the lack of posts as of late...I haven't hardly been home at all for the last two weeks.  As I mentioned yesterday, my social life exploded in a good way.  I wont complain but I realize I need to make time for the little old blog.

I love this dress. I was completely psyched to wear it because I think we can officially say spring is here!  I have moved all of my winter clothes onto the basement clothes rack and brought up all of my dresses and spring/summer clothes!  This dress might be difficult to let go of....I have grown fond of it!  When I find vintage clothes I get happy.  When I find home-made vintage clothes I do a little dance in my head!  Well, sometimes I can't contain it.  I just have to do the happy dance wherever I am standing...

It's the Little Things...

• My social life has seemed to explode at an all time high.  I like being busy! 
• I bought a few "special occasion dresses" that I cannot wait to share!
• I have a great surprise that is waiting to burst out of me!
• I spent the week with my best friends!
• I came across bottles from the 1920s -1940s!  My collection is huge!
• I got to spend a day at a vintage clothing store with my mom and grandma trying on dresses!
• I am wearing my mom's old overalls from the 1990s. Life could not be better.

What I Wore: Betsey Johnson Dress

While I was away on my trip to Las Vegas and St. George, we went to Betsey Johnson.  She is my all time favorite designer along with Jeffery Campbell... I like the crazy stuff.  But I had to try something on whether I could afford it or not, right?  Well I found a dress that Had a vintage look to it.  It is gorgeous, I am still dreaming about it.  It was five hundred dollars.  The shoes were Two fifty.  I never bothered to look at the price of the bolero.

Anna actually bought the dress she is wearing.  It was on sale.  It is so adorable on her!
