A Dreamy Dress

I always frequent my favorite shops and blogs daily. Mostly for inspiration and to check and see what my fellow vintage ladies are up to. I always bookmark items they may have for sale, hoping to snatch them up quick. More often than not, my favorite items are bought 2 seconds before I hit that add to cart button. But this time I lucked out and time was on my side! I was shopping in the lovely Quincy's Etsy shop, Q's Daydream, when I came across these amazing burgundy Eitenne Aigner boots. I quickly emailed Quincy asking to hold them for me and before I knew I came across the most dreamy dress. I mean this dress was meant for me to own. It was slightly too big but I knew I could make it work and eventually have it fitted to me. I mean, you know what it is like to want something so bad that no matter the size you will find a way to make it work. That is precisely what I did. I made it fit and I wore it today and felt amazing in it. 

I always shop Q's before any of the girls I "know" through this lil ol' blogging world because we have very similar interests in our style and old movie stars. Quincy is a beautiful quirky girl hailing from Nashville and if you don't follow her blog I suggest you start! Go here! Her obsession with Elvis is too cute and her posts are always an entertaining read. I hope to put together a little interview of some my favorite bloggers and she will be one of the firsts for sure! 

Here are some photos from today of this dress I fell for. And what a better place to snap photos of this dress  than in front of my Bird wall! Sooooo Cute, I think it is becoming one of my favorite parts of my new apartment! Photos of the boots too this week!

**And notice how long my hair is getting!! I'm so excited to have long hair again...
