The funny thing about being stared at, is that you’re not really being seen.


Unlike in Thailand, I have plenty of clothing at my disposal. However my problem here is that most other people are wearing sweatshirts and sweatpants. I don't want to be stuck in a clothing rut. Those are the worst, I just feel like I have creativity and everything seems boring. So, in an effort to NOT get stuck with the jeans and t-shirts slump, I am picking some of my more unique pieces. My colorful gypsy pants or my red plaid vest. At this point I'm using anything to get my juices flowing.
Catch you on the flip side.

For the love of vintage

Let me start off by saying I know it has been a while. College has been all-consuming, I've been trying to get into a groove and I think I've found it. Well, I hope I have. I can't grantee I'll be posting regularly, but I do intend to keep up my blog. It may be a bit different though. I want to keep things interesting for you guys, and homework is not interesting. So I am thinking my posts may be less about my life and more about my interests. I hope that's OK with you.

I am a huge fan of vintage. I love old pieces that come to me with a past. I favorite things to browse the Internet for are:
Printed flower dresses. I don't believe there is any cuter clothing item to have in your closet than a printed flower dress.
Bowling shoes are majorly old-school. You don't even need to buy them vintage to look retro.
I am still on the hunt for a good flapper hat.
An oval mirror is incredibly Snow White. And who doesn't love themselves some vintage Disney?
In addition to wanting to flowers on my dress, I want them on my dishes. When I start investing in my dishes, I'm going seventies and floral.
I was going put I picture of my vintage bike, but I don't have one.
Herbie the Love Bug is my dream car.
I like old movies where the women are quick and the men are charming.
Listening to Billie Holiday is like a history in itself. It's hard to find another voice with as much heart or history.
Catch you on the flip side.
