AU REVOIR!



In just a few short (but seemingly long) hours, I'll be taking off for a week long road trip with my girl, Dana. We'll be covering lots of ground, travelling from Tennessee to Florida and then through Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and back to Tennessee. I plan on hitting up a ton of thrift/antique stores along the way and hope to come home with some seriously amazing vintage! I'm beyond ecstatic, as we'll be meeting up and travelling with my boyfriend, whom I haven't seen in 3 long weeks. I'll be bringing him home to Nashville for another month of pure bliss before I have to see him off again for his European tour come mid-August. This time apart has not been easy by any means, but we've remained super solid and strong the entire time, so knowing that I'll get to be by his side again in less than 48 hours has me more excited than I think I've ever been. I feel like Santa's coming and it's Christmas in July!

During this time, I will be checking emails on a regular basis, but I won't be shipping any items that are currently pending payment until my return on Friday, the 17th. If you have purchased an item and paid for it already, fret not - your package is on its way!

I hope to be able to post some pictures of our adventures while we're on the road. I'm armed with a laptop, a couple of cameras, a suitcase full of vintage dresses and my heart on my sleeve!

Tata for now!

SWIMSUITS!



On my thrifting adventures yesterday afternoon, I managed to pick up several seriously awesome swimsuits including one adorable 60's deadstock bikini, one absolutely darling 60's nautical style one-piece (isn't the inside tag just too cute?!) and 3 awesome 80's one-piece swimsuits - all pictured above. These bathing beauties will be making their way into the shop tonight, so keep a look out! Plus, all of them (except for the top of the bikini since it still has the original tag attached) have been handwashed prior to and after being photographed.

CROSS STITCH PATTERNS FROM TINY MODERNIST



Personally, I have absolutely no clue how to cross stitch - like knitting, it seems like one of those things that would just be too tedius for me and I'd end up getting frustrated and defeat myself before even getting the hang of it. The idea of cross stitching little Eames chairs almost makes me want to give it a shot, though! I've been a huge fan of Charles & Ray Eames for many years and even have a few Eames pieces in my own home, so naturally I think these are pretty incredible.

And for you mamas out there - they also carry the cutest lil' post modern printed toddler dresses!

These cuties were added to the shop Thursday night, so I'm a little late with announcing the latest update. There's also a round of treats ending in the shop tomorrow night, so if you haven't seen the new goods, be sure to take a peek - they're FABULOUS!

A GLIMPSE AT OUR TRIP



Here's a little peek at the 3 state 5 day road trip that I mentioned last week. A ton of pictures were taken, but these are my favorites and I feel they are most fitting for this blog, as I am wearing my very favorite dress (I love it so much that I, in fact, wore it two days in a row and felt nothing short of fabulous the entire time). Also, I really wish that I could braid my hair like this everyday, but I've tried and fail miserably every time. Big ups to my girl, Mackenzie (the lovely lady pictured with me), for braiding my locks and THANK YOU Aqua Net for ensuring they didn't fall down even a smidge the entire time!

I'M A QUEEN & DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IT!



LOOKIE, LOOKIE!

I've blogged about the UK based site www.queensofvintage.com before, as they did an interview with me a few months ago and it's just an all around awesome site for vintage inspiration. Needless to say, I'm very pleased that they've inducted me into their Top 100 vintage queens. A big THANK YOU to Lena, the brainchild behind this lovely site, for featuring me!
