Fantastically Bazaar...

This weekend was the February Vintage Bazaar and not to mention, one of the best weekends I have had in a while! I kicked off this weekend with hanging out with friends, new and old. Dancing, vintage shopping, and so much laughter. Those are the best weekends am I right?!

The Vintage Bazaar was a great success as usual. Full of fantastic vendors, food, and music provided by Chirp Radio. I look forward to the Bazaar every time, not only for the shopping but I get to meet so many awesome people! My favorite is when readers of the blog, past etsy customers or facebook followers come and shop and I can meet them in person! So rewarding. 

My friends Merl & Andrea stopped by to visit and take some photos of the weekend. All the following photos are by Merl.

Needless to say, it was a splendid way to spend the weekend! I will be posting later this week about my awesome purchases from the weekend. I wish I could have covered more and taken photos of all the other booths but I rarely got to leave mine!

30s & 40s Obsession and A Tiny Shop Update!

Like I had brought up in my last couple posts, I recently had the pleasure to visit a home with 3 decades of vintage clothing. This outfit is from that home and probably my favorite! 
I love that I can wear a 30s or 40s dress that is slightly too big and it still looks okay. Now that I have my pin curls and rag curls down, I have been more likely to trade my 50s frocks for something a little older. But don't worry, I can never give up the 50s! The other thing you may notice is my lack of red lipstick. I thought this look needs something softer, so I opted for just a little balm on the lips free pf color. It was quite freeing, however a little strange to look in the mirror and not see red lips!
