Novelty Print of the Day -- AUTUMN LEAVES Christian Dior Men's Vintage Tie

I don't often feature men's clothing items for the novelty print of the day, but I really love this tie that I found on Etsy from seller SwankyVintage. Isn't it so perfect for fall? If I had a boyfriend right now, I'd probably buy it right up for him, as I do love a dapper-dressed man. ;) Christian Dior label, to boot!

Novelty Print of the Day -- Italian Gondola SCENIC 50's Full Skirt

I love scenic prints like this, especially when they have a feeling of romance about them. :) This lovely skirt is available now on ebay from seller sweetnessvintage. Look at the illustrated detail in the bottom picture, the little music notes are too cute. The bright colors on the dark brown are fantastic too! Hurry if you want this though, auction ends in 10 hours.

Novelty Print of the Day -- Tiny Little Sailboats & Anchors 70's Mini Dress

I know, I know, I MUST be dreaming for summer again. Yes, it IS true. If it were up to me I would live in 80 degree weather year round and wear cute little sundresses like this one by PlanetClaireVintage on Etsy. Not only is the print on this dress adorable with teeny anchors and sailboats, but I love the cut and length too. C U T E!

Overdue Shop Update, back to business. :)

I miss you, my blog and blogger friends. I've been too busy for my liking and things are finally starting to wind down over here, thank God! And guess what, NO MORE WEDDINGS THIS YEAR! Yay!!! :) I feel kinda bratty saying that but goodness, 3 within one month was a little stressful. I am very thankful though, because I had such a great time at every single one, and I'm so happy for my dear friends and family who are now married. . . ♥♥

But now it's time to get back to business, my favorite kind of business, pretty clothes and more pretty clothes for the shop. I haven't had a shop update in a while so here are some recently added items. Stay tuned, more pretties coming soon.

I'm always into high waists, puff sleeves, and any kind of feminine details really. Lately, I'm also falling in love with the color of WINE. Burgundy hues like the color of the suede heels are making me turn my head when I'm out and about these days. Don't you just love that color for fall?

Novelty Print of the Day -- MUSHROOMS Psychedelic 70's Two Tone Dress

Check out this psychedelic MUSHROOM print Dress by anna.carina on Ebay.
Done in two tones of coffee brown and soft blue. So perfectly MOD, and belted, too. Get your FUNGI on! :-P Cute, cute, cute!

Novelty Print of the Day -- POODLE PUPS 1950's Full Day Dress

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!

Because LAUGHING makes me feel better

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!
