Wish List Wednesday: Vintage Vixens

Yep, it's that time again! Have you ever come across a piece of clothing that seemed to be made just for? Well, I came across three such dresses on Etsy but...they're all waaaaay too small for me :-(




I love these dresses so much and wish I was small enough to wiggle into
 them but alas, it ain't happenin' captain. check them out anyway...

This beauty right here is a vintage 80's silk color blocked number. As much as I love her, we cannot be together because she's a size small/medium. If she were more medium than small I could probably swing it, she comes with a one way ticket though and I'm not willing to take any chances she won't fit.

I want her soooo bad! Look at her, isn't she lovely? She's another vintage 80's color blocked stunner. I love the allover damask leaf pattern print and the color/shape of this dress. She's so pretty and feminine...just way too small :-(

When I showed my daughter this dress, she said it was ugly and plain. I strongly disagree. I think this dress is cute, simple and causal. With or without the blazer, I really love this dress. Too bad she's too small for me :-(

I blogged about this beauty the other day and I am still completely OBSESSED! She may look heavy, but she's decidedly light and all the way awesome. My thrifting partner called her ugly and a monstrosity but I whole heartedly disagree. I'm still stalking her and waiting for her price to come down...then she's alllll mine!


That's actually it for this edition of wish list Wednesday because I have another post I need to work on. What's on your wish list? Let a sistah know!

Ooh, eye'm hurt...but my nail polish is cute!

Dearest fair maidens, dashing divas and glamorous gals, how are you? Feeling fab I hope :-)

I've been away for a while (again) but it was not intentional nor fully under my control. I've been trying to edit video footage, jot down blog ideas, organize my loc journey clips/pics and just generally get things post ready (amongst other every day things). Unfortunately, I've run into major snags. My internet was down for a minute, my laptop was acting a monkey, I've been stressed and busy and then on May 21st, I was involved in a car accident...

A charming (dripping with sarcasm) old lady ran a stop sign and hit my passenger side shortly after I left work. The same charming old lady reversed her car, put it back in drive, gave it gas and crashed into me again just because she was angry and felt like it. I wound up in the ER being diagnosed with whiplash and strained/sprained back muscles. Nice right? Yeah. So since then, I've been in constant pain and taking pain killers and muscle relaxers. But it's all good. I'm alive and I still have use of all my limbs...though I can't over exert myself. Pain and discomfort are keeping me awake right now so I figured I'd write this blog...I'm a trooper ;-)

In other news, I scored the awesomest vintage dress on Etsy...

Don't you just love it? I bought it last month and wore it the week after it arrived. It fits like a dream and looks quite lovely with my Mossimo Cognac Pollyann Gladiators seen here. I added some brass jewelry and a golden elastic headband for a real throwback boho look. It worked wonderfully :-D All I have is this here head shot of the finished look:

 I'll take some full body shots the next time I wear the dress. If you're wondering where I got it, you can check out Lady80's Vintage Etsy Shop for cute, reasonable deals on vintage clothing, footwear and accessories.




Now for my current nail polish porn:

I'm wearing Secret Peri-Wink-Le by China Glaze. In this picture it looks like a tropical blue, but in person it really is periwinkle. Depending on the lighting, it either looks very lavender or very blue. I love the color though and the application was pretty smooth (despite the messiness seen here). It was opaque in two coats and I topped it off with a coat of Seche Vite. Well that's it for me dolls, I'm getting very stiff and sleepy. Hopefully I'll be back soon with good news, more nail polish porn and other treats. Until then, ciao bellas!
