 Oh, and you will be seeing these shoes a lot from here on out as they are my newest obsession. Flattering and crazy comfy! I was dancing in these all night on Saturday:)

Here is something that has to do with nothing. Everyone who knows me knows my celebrity obsession with Jimmy Fallon. He is my perfect man, seriously, no joke. Anyway, he hosted SNL this past weekend and it was too funny! Here is my fav sketch. I just think everyone may need a good chuckle to forget all our Holiday stresses:)

Are you Green?!

Environmentally speaking that is. No matter what your reasons are for loving vintage fashion and buying it, just know that you are contributing to making the earth a wee bit better. Wearing and buying vintage IS a way of recycling. It's very rare I wear something that isn't vintage, I mean head to toe from my shoes to my hair accessories, it's all Vintage. Usually when its not, it's either a gift or something I have had for a while. Now, I am not one who will judge someone for not wearing vintage or not being environmentally conscious of the clothing on their back. I too slip now and again and buy from Anthropologie:)

Anyway, here is my "Green" outfit for today while visiting home. Aside from the flower rings, everything is VINTAGE:) 

Also, for all my readers on the east coast and those with family there, my thoughts are with you and please, please stay safe. My brother David & my sister in law Angie, who made an appearance in my last few posts, live in North-East Florida and for bit there we were very worried. But they are both safe and sound! I hope the same goes to you and your loved ones <3

I am in love with this handbag, look at the chain! It's super long and so comfy to carry.

 I have been trying new things with my new found love for french braiding. Today I started the braid upside down and then pinned the tail to the side. I can't wait to see what I come up with as my hair continues to grow! I haven't had this long of hair in 4 years!!

 All pictures taken by me in my backyard:)

 I'm going to see Deerhunter, Cat Power and The Roots tomorrow night! What do you all have planned for the weekend??

Edith Designs For Grace

Anyone who knows me, knows how much I love Grace Kelly. Her style and elegance are so inspirational to me. I re-watch her films constantly and just dream of having her wardrobe. Some of you may not know but there was a very brilliant woman responsible for many of the gorgeous Hollywood Starlets wardrobes that we love so dearly. Hedy Lamar, Barbara Stanwyck, Ginger Rogers, Sophia Loren, Ingrid Bergman, Natalie Wood, Loretta Young and about 25 more were all dressed by Edith Head. She had a style that she never deterred from, Hitchcock took a liking to her designs and she was then designing clothing for almost all his female leads. Head went onto win 8 Academy Awards for her costume design.

Here are my favorite looks she has done for my favorite, Grace Kelly.

 "Rear Window" 1955

 This one above is my personal favorite!

"To Catch a Thief" 1956

This is my personal favorite from "To Catch a Thief"
