Alice Takes a Trip

Alice Takes a Trip is an independent clothing label I discovered just this past week online. Their adorable animal tees with bows are quickly becoming my new obsession, I think I've gotta have one. I'm trying to decide between the hare and the raccoon, but they're ALL so cute, aren't they? Look at the eyes on that owl! Which one is your favorite?

To Cut or Not to Cut

I've basically had the same hair style since high school. Long and brown, with chin-length bangs. It's becoming so apparent to me lately how attached I am to this default look of mine. Isn't it crazy how attached to our manes we can become? It's been on my mind so much lately because one of my best friends has recently lost ALL of her hair due to chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer. A part of me had initially wanted to shave my head to somehow share the experience and make her feel not so alone in the frustration she had of losing a head of hair she loved dearly. However, when it came down to it, I couldn't do it. :( Thankfully, she wasn't disappointed.

I'm a big hair loving girl! When I go out, I prefer a little beehive, and some teasing. Nothing gigantic like Amy Winehouse's do', but something a little similar, only on a MUCH smaller level. But I'm SO ready for a change. Lately, I strongly feel the need to step out of my comfort zone for awhile. What makes me nervous is that once the hair is cut, there's no quick way of going back.

I did have a chin-length bob about 7 years ago, and really liked it. I just remember feeling like I had to style it more often instead of just wash and go. WISH ME LUCK, I'm hoping to go through with some kind of cut within the next month, provided I work up enough courage to do it!
Any thoughts/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. ♥

* Love these gorgeous big hair photos.*

* This is the short style I have in mind that I want, a sweet little bob with bangs. . . and I certainly wouldn't mind a little red tint either. ;)

Novelty Print of the Day -- 1960's Trompe L'oeil LACE UP Go Go Dress

DARLING! I'm a big fan of trompe l'oeil prints, as you may already know. This cute little sleeveless shift from the 1960's is just about my size too. I've had it in my faves for a few weeks and cannot believe it hasn't sold yet. Is it a sign that it just might be waiting for ME to grab it up? Hmmm. . . let me check that budget of mine. ;)

Love the happy neon colors on the bright white cotton. And those lil' pom poms? C U T E.
Perfectly paired with knee high go go boots by the model.

Novelty Print of the Day -- vintage 1940's DEER PRINT Dress Suit

When you come upon a vintage suit like this, it's just going to be one of those OMG moments. After reading the listing for this A M A Z I N G 1940's Deer Print suit, I'm intrigued to know more about this Herbert Levy fellow, (the designer on the label). I've never heard of him, but I would LOVE to see what else he has created, wouldn't you? I adore the pockets on the blazer jacket. I also like how it is not just female deer, but bucks too. Would you look at those antlers? I think there's a little mating dance going on here. ;)

This lovely suit is an XL to boot! Just a WOW piece, all around.

For Sale now by Mill Street Vintage on Ebay.
12 bids already, so I can't wait to see how much this goes for!

These are the kind of dresses dreams are made of.
Well, my dreams anyway.
Nothing makes my heart beat like finding a beautiful sheer silk dress.
Put me in a silk dress and I'm a guaranteed happy woman for the rest of the day. Silk chiffon is light as air, making it so incredibly comfortable to wear. Moreover, this luxurious fabric, especially when created into a perfectly-executed piece of clothing, is an instant means to elegance.

These are my current etsy faves below.
You're not gonna believe the label name on that first one.

Swoon away, dolls!

Novelty Print of the Day -- Vintage 80's MUSHROOMS Puff Sleeve Mini Dress

"You have fungi on your frock!" (I am imagining the kind of conversation that comes along with sporting this cute little vintage 80's dress.) I love the little ties on the short sleeves and the mini length is perfect too. Alice would really appreciate this print, don't you think so? Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds could also very much appreciate it. ;)

How I delight in finding these prints to share with you daily! It has almost become my necessary dose of daily amusement. ♥
Thank you for checking them out, dolls!
