Puppies melt my heart, it's true. I'm such a dog person. (I DO love my cat Linus, but I often find myself longing for the day I have a huge yard and a dog to go with it.) TimelessVixenVintage on Etsy currently has this adorable dress for sale in her shop.
These poodle pups couldn't get any cuter! I love the shape of the dress too. Stunning!
I've been sick for the past few days and usually get very down when I don't feel well. . . so I was desperately seeking a little pick me up and while online today found these two funny videos on YouTube by CrappyHolidays featuring two gals from Whip-it! Ellen Page & Alia Shawkat.
Both of these tiny movie shorts made me laugh out loud, so I hope you enjoy. :)
My former classmates & I used to make movie shorts in our digital video classes years ago. I miss it soooo much sometimes, and hope I find the time to be involved again someday.
Something else that nearly had me in tears today from laughing so hard was a story I remembered from my childhood after my son accidentally got soap in his eyes in the bath. It's actually quite EMBARRASSING and I'm a bit hesitant to share, but it is funny, and I think we all have embarrassing stories, don't we? ;) When I was a little girl I felt the need to TEST the claims of Johnson & Johnson No More Tears shampoo. I remember being around 8 or 9 and having this secret "scientific mission" to see if what the company was saying on the commercials was actually true. I snuck the bottle of shampoo to my room and carefully put some of the shampoo directly into my eyes to see if, in fact, the shampoo was really that gentle. (Ridiculous, I know). Anyway, it STUNG just like any other shampoo would and after running to the bathroom I was frantically trying to wash it out before my mom found out what I had done. Hahahah!
It might not surprise you then, that I was voted "Most Gullible" in my high school senior year mock elections. ;)
P.s. I still love No More Tears and believe that it DOES work, but not when one puts it directly into the eye, unmixed with water. Lol. (Childhood lesson about concentrated liquids)
Share your embarrassing stories, please. I would love to hear your silliness!
Have a marvelous week, everyone! xo Jessica

What an attention getter! This beer lovers mini dress from Pretty Pease Vintage on Ebay is a hit if you or your sweetheart prefer Budweiser! I used to have a similar dress, but it sold years ago. I would suggest not wearing this to the bar, though, because you might get mauled!
Black is simple, sexy, and not fussy. I love this color and truth be told, if you asked my friends they would probably tell you that I wear it too much. From elegant to disco, to draped & studded, here are a few dark items from the shop to paint the town red in. ;) xo
This darling vintage 1970's maxi dress is available now on Etsy from seller safeasmilkvintage. Print features tons of teeny little fairies on flowers. . . too too cute! I also like the ruffled sleeves & hem. Kudos to the seller too, because I love the background of her pics! Dreamy!
I've longed to ride in a hot air balloon since I've been a little girl! Have you ever done it before? Admittedly, I'm afraid of heights, but near where I live there is a yearly hot air balloon festival, and I am slowly gaining the courage to finally live out a long time dream. :) This amazing 1950's AIR BALLOON skirt comes to you from one of my favorite ebay sellers, Violetville Vintage. Isn't it the coolest? I'm loving the fall toned colors too!
A D O R A B L E vintage maxi skirt by Serendipitouswinks on Etsy. I love the looks on the animals' happy faces! Such a colorful, bold design too. What a perfect little skirt for the zoo. :)
