I Scream, You Scream...

We all scream for ice cream! Cupcakes are my favorite but I love me some ice cream too...especially in the summer. I was browsing Modcloth today and found all these amazing ice cream themed items. I would like one of each please. Especially the red ice cream cone dress...obsessed. Might have to treat myself to that one soon. My favorite kind of ice cream is mint chocolate chip. Whats yours? :)

NYC Fame Show

One of the best parts of my job is that I get to go to trade shows and help buy new merchandise for the shop. This past Sunday and Monday, Kelli and I went to NYC for the FAME Apparel Show. We found some awesome new pieces to bring us into Fall. We found some adorable boots and one of my favorite pieces of the show was an amazing oversized cardigan with tribal print and skulls!!!

I also had to pick out a little something for myself...2 gorgeous Betsey Johnson bags. One red with skulls and one black and one. Obsessed. Oh, and it was also Cinco de Mayo while we were there so of course we had to go out and celebrate with some margaritas! What a fun time!

Wedding Cupcakes

My friends Rach and Chris tied the knot in Hawaii last month and celebrated their nuptials with family and friends today. I was asked to make them cupcakes and a mini cake for the two of them. We decided on three flavors; coconut, pineapple, and red velvet. They were so yummy!!!

And I got to wear my new vintage minty green 1960s dress that I scored for $5 last week. So glad it fit!!!

More Vintage Finds

I had to share some more of the stuff I found this weekend. Trust me, there is more but these were some of my favorites. Being that I collect salt and pepper shakers, I'm always looking for cute ones to add to the group. I found 2 pairs of adorable dog shakers. The small corgis remind me of my dog, Cooper. The red and black cowboy boots were a perfect fit and only $8, super cheap for a pair of awesome Dingos! And my favorite find is this amazing Addams Family Card Game. The cards have pictures of Gomez, Morticia, Wednesday, Pugsy, Lurch, and Uncle Fester. Seriously, the coolest thing EVER!

Junkin Road Trip!

This past Sunday and Monday, Kelli and I and our friend Donna took a junkin road trip to Ocean City. We found so many great things for the shop and for ourselves. We packed the truck so tight I dont think we could've got anymore in it! My best find was the funky vintage shelves that will look awesome in my living room. Heres some pictures of all the great stuff we saw!

Favorite Recent Finds...

I've scored some awesome things lately...and cheap!!! The aqua and green floral dress I wore today was a thrift store find for only $5.99! It fit perfectly so not having to alter it is always a plus.

We get lots of cowboy boots in at the shop on a regular basis. I do have a few pairs already but when I saw these beauties, I knew they had to be mine. They even have little hearts on them!!!

And this mirrored shadowbox from the 1960's has been sitting in my living room since Easter. I thrifted it in Pennsylvania with my mom for only $25. I already had one but one more couldn't hurt. I just love them so much and I get put all my small knick knacks in them.

I'm going on a junking trip with Kelli Sunday and Monday so I hope to find some more goodies. Can't wait!!

Bathing Suit Season

It's coming...bathing suit season. Personally, I havent worn a bathing suit in quite awhile. I think its a combination of not being confident with my body and never finding the perfect suit. However I do have a few vintage ones that I consider wearing from time to time. I love how bathing suits from back in the day were a lot more covering. I mean, I would never wear a bikini unless the bottom was a pair of cute shorts. Arent these suits adorable? That flamingo suit in the middle is amazing!!!

Modcloth has some really cute bathing suits available right now with a retro flair. I really like this red and white polkadot number. Soooo cute!
