Birthday Brunch

I celebrated my birthday this previous Saturday and had so much fun.  My boyfriend called me to go outside & surprised me outside with the bike of my dreams!  I was so surprised and I am so thankful for having someone as sweet as him in my life :)  Thank you so much for the present honey, if you get to read this and I can't wait to take it for a spin every day hehe*.  I spent the rest of the day having brunch with Pat at one of my favorite restaurants, went vintage shopping (of course!  :P), went swimming, had dinner with the mommy dearest and met up with my friends in the city to celebrate the night away (pictures of that night will be posted later on)

hello sailor

I hate that I've been neglecting this blog of mine. I've been busy running around, being tired & catching up on sleep as always :( It's summer and I am going to do my best & enjoy the beautiful weather every chance that I get. I'm so happy I took the time to actually write in here & finally post some photos. I took photos of my outfit a while ago during the spring in front of my mother's garden. Hope everyone is having a fabulous week :)

Celebrating le boyfriend's birthday :)

Last Friday, I celebrated my boyfriend's birthday in the city and was able to take a few quick snapshots of my outfit. Of course, I asked him to take my photos again, because he is so good at it and he's just too sweet to me hehe* We had fun celebrating the night away and I am glad he enjoyed. :)

Barely Surviving

Going forty days without vintage shopping is really difficult! However, this is helping me wear more of the items that are within my closet or come across clothing I haven't worn in a while. Most importantly it is allowing me to save my money and once Lent is over, the Manhattan Vintage Show will be coming around the corner in April and I will have enough cash saved up! woohoo! So until then, I pretend I am shopping through my own closet and adore the items I already have. Here is a sneak peak into my jewelry box filled with vintage rings, bracelets and earrings. I took this picture a long time ago, so believe me when I say I have more than what is actually here now hehehe! Plus, I have another special jewelry box for earrings & other rings. Yes, I have a lot of jewelry but I can't help it, as always :P

Let's do brunch!

After a long tiring week and not being able to see Pat for a whole week, my boy friend, the sweet guy that he already is, decided to treat me to a wonderful brunch on this Sunday afternoon. Thank you for the yummy food and smiles all day long :) We took pictures today of not only just my outfit but I took a picture of his outfit as well, so you can see how he gets down in vintage just like me hehe* :) I had to use my regular digital camera while my other camera is being borrowed for the weekend, but I did my best to take clear photos. Enjoy!

40 Days

For Lent, I gave up vintage shopping for 40 DAYS! LOL Hopefully, I can make it! haha So far I have been doing well, but I have been having those sudden urges to shop through a lovely rack of vintage dresses `sigh I think I can manage, as long as I keep myself busy and keep my brain from thinking of vintage clothes & accessories, then I'm good until Easter :) So, I have been just shopping for either vintage inspired clothing & accessories or just shopping at my other favorite shops :) Here is a picture of one of my most recent purchases from Kanibal Home:

I love the zipper detail along the front & criss cross strap in the back. Purple is my favorite color and I am so excited to wear this dress! :) I think I'll probably wear it for my boyfriend's birthday coming in March or maybe another occasion, who knows? hehe*

Playing in the snow..

I was finally able to take photos of me wearing this lovely vintage seventies plaid coat I bought a month or two ago in the snow :) That day, my boyfriend kindly took photos of me wearing my simple outfit before I went out to run some errands. I think he'll be behind the camera from now on taking photos of my outfits hehe* Thanks honey! :)
