My New Hat!

In Old Town, San Diego, there's a cute little vintage store called the Johnson House full of old women's clothing, hats, bonnets, dresses, and jewlery. I was searching through a stack of hats and fell in love with this one! I've been SEARCHING for a cute vintage hat and let me tell ya, they're hard to find around here!! I just finished making my 1947 halter dress, and I will be posting pictures on here soon!

Swing Era 1940-1941

In my little town is a cute, little bookshop. It's filled with hand-me-down books of all sorts. The other day, I came across a book titled, The Swing Era: How It Was To Be Young Then only for $1. I showed my mom the cover and she sighed, "Oh boy..." Ha-ha! It's full of pictures and details of clothes, food, activities, musicians, dancing, and more!

This is a Junior Prom- AWESOME dresses! I love this book!

Anthropologie Recreation!

Blouse at Anthropologie for about $150. I found a shirt pattern that was similar for $2 and cute sheer fabric on a 40% off sale. There was no ruffle on the pattern of course but with using my imagination, my grandma's imagination, and the serger, we made the cutest ruffles!!

I'm going to wear it ALL the time!

Thrifty Fishy Necklace

I thrifted this cutie with my mom in a local thrift store. I just couldn't resist!! I've worn him a few times all ready. I LOVE this necklace!!

New Swimsuit!

Summer is just around the corner which means SWIMSUITS! When I first saw this pattern, I fell in love. It's modest, vintage, cute, and my style. Every pattern I found was sold. FINALLY, I found this one on Etsy and ordered it right away. I'm going to use the Gingham red check spandex/nylon fabric. The pattern should be here Friday. I'M SO EXCITED!
