Oh my goodness! Time to save on some great products!

Ladies....I'm sorry to report that Lime Crime is discontinuing their Magic Dust loose eye shadows.  On the plus side...they are 40% off when you use the code MAGIC40 so this is a great time to stock up on some pigment with a punch!  Just follow the link to their site on the left side of this page. 

I want to talk a little bit about one of my favorite hair accessories today.  I love a snood.  They are easy to wear and have such a great look.  I personally like to team them with a blossom from Belle Blossoms or with a cute bow.  I have to say, they save time on your "do" too.  Can't tell you how many times I've gotten my victory rolls just right and the back of my hair just will not cooperate.  A snood is the perfect answer with the perfect vintage look.  Belle Blossoms has a great selection and you can find them here. They even have complete instructions as to how to wear them!

Love it with a big flower!

Another great site is an etsy store that I love.  ArtheliasAttic is where you can get hand made snoods in a multitude of colors.  They are made from vintage patterns and I adore them. I'm wearing a beautiful chocolate brown one right now with a big red rose.  I can't say enough about the quality of these snoods.  They are a must have for any vintage gal.

paired with the July BOM from Belle Blossoms

Too cute with its bow!

So, check out a snood!  Make sure you shop the 40% off clearance at Lime Crime too!

Have a fantastic day!

Ok, to follow along with my jewelry fetish....

By now you can tell that I am a total jewelry lover.  So, where on earth can I find amazing vintage pieces at totally affordable prices?  A good friend of mine turned me on to an etsy store today that is fantastic!  The Shopping Lounge is just WOW!  You have got to check it out!  There are several things I am seriously in lust with right now.  Let's see if you beat me to them.

Another store that is fueling my fetish is Amula Designs.  This gorgeous little bird's nest necklace is just one of the many hand made designs you will find there.  Can't say enough about this piece.  It's just precious!
The sparrow reminds me of the tattoo designs that I love so much.


Speaking of tattoos...yes, I have them.  The world may not see them due to careful placement but I am seriously considering changing that.  I have been totally obsessed lately with both modern and vintage pinups.  Most of the vintage images I have found are not tattooed.  50's culture just didn't incorporate tattoos on women.  The modern versions, however, are a totally different story.  Some of the models are heavily painted while others are just adorned with one or two.  I think I tend to want to be somewhere in the middle.  Shoulder pieces, especially florals, are what I seem to be most infatuated with. That and the pinup girl tattoo itself.  I've been finding so many fantastic versions!  One of my new favorite sources is Atomic Bombshell magazine. The graphics are phenomenal.  Yes, it is more of a "gentlemans magazine" if you catch my drift, but it is really gorgeous.  If you aren't squeamish about women in various states of undress, the style and the attitude are amazing. No, I don't "get it for the articles".  I actually love the photos and the ads.  Every vintage, rockabilly, retro thing you could want is somewhere in the pages.  Volume 3 is now in presale.  I was thrilled that the back cover of volume 2 was a full page add for my favorite hair flower store, Belle Blossoms.

About the Artist

So, today I plan to check out The Shopping Lounge ( they have a fb page by the way) and to start making my wish list. I have a fantastic little dress that I need some accessories for. This is the About the Artist dress from Modcloth.  It comes in several other colors and I have linked the image to the site so click away!

I think my little bird nest will be so cute.  I was also thinking a really cute red polkadot shoe....what do you think?

All the things I love

Welcome!  Come on in and have a seat. Don't mind the dogs, they will move, eventually.  There are so many little pieces of perfection that I have discovered lately. I wanted to share a few of them with you.  If you love vintage clothing, rockabilly and retro style, jewelry, art and makeup you are in the right place.  I am happy to show you a little glimpse into my eclectic and vintage loving life!




One of the first things I want to share with you is Belle Blossoms.  The gorgeous little orchids I am wearing in my hair are the July Blossom of the Month.  Heather and her staff at Belle Blossoms make these beauties!  I absolutely am in love with their hair flowers and can't say enough about them.  Check them out at www.belleblossoms.com 

I recently got this beauty from them as well.  Totally worth every penny and priced so well that I am starting a collection that I intend to grow and grow!

I love hearing about vintage finds and where to get the best deals on the best products.  I also love sharing these things.  Please let me know where you love to shop!
