It's in the mid-80s today and I am ecstatic. I'm hot and soooo happy! Shortly I am having margaritas and Mexican food. Partly to enjoy the weather and partly to celebrate my big news...

The Chicago Cultural Center will be selling Branchbound jewelry very soon!

This is an amazing opportunity for me and my shop and I am over the moon! My dad posted the news on Facebook before I got to, ha. Also I have a Heartsy deal coming next week, I'll be sure to post it! Busy busy month for Branchbound.

I'll leave you with this AWESOME photo of me and Seymour. Look at his mouth, haha.

Feather or Haute Dress - ModCloth
army green tights - UO
BC Shipwreck wedges - 6pm

Saturday it was sunny and mild, so Michael and I went downtown for a bit of shopping. I'm fighting off a cold, but was determined to enjoy the nice weather this weekend. I wore this dress in Nashville but neglected to snap a picture. I really love the cut and pattern, and I definitely need more white dresses in my wardrobe.





Family portrait! Also, Michael tried to get Seymour to be cool like him.

Saturday Michael and I did a bit of shopping down town. I also went shopping Friday, which is when I picked up this dress! It's so comfy and I've been looking for a black and floral print dress. I've also really been drawn to pinks and oranges lately.



I was off early Friday, as well as both days this weekend, so I painted my nails. This colour is "Commander in Chic" from Sally Henson. It's a really nice shade, goes with everything. I also want to find more clothing in this colour- looks so nice with my skin tone. That's something I've really been paying attention to since I've become a redhead, how colours look with my hair and skin colour. As a pale brunette I figured, and was somewhat right, in thinking I matched everything!



And here he is, toast of the internet, my Seymour. Look at those toes!

Sorry I've been such a bad blogger lately, everyone! I've been working overtime at work (with no extra coin to show for it, boooo), knitting, being cold working on jewelry for...

The Vintage Heaven Big Sale!

It's next weekend, October 9th & 10th. I will be selling vintage goodies both in and not yet in my shop (insider sneak peek!), Branchbound jewelry and hair pieces, and cookies! Find more info at their blog, if you're in the area I hope you can make it out!

Blogger (Re-) Meet Up and Other Weekend Adventures

Saturday afternoon Michael and I had the pleasure of having brunch with Rachel of MouseVox Vintage, her boyfriend, and some of their friends at Longman and Eagle. It was a nice leisurely meal full of hearty food and drinks as well as great conversation. It was a joy to see Rachel again, I get along with her very well. She's so sweet and I love that I can talk shop with someone! Unfortunately last time she visited Chicago I was unable to get a photograph of us together, but this time I did!



Afterward Michael and I goofed around with my cat, Seymour. Here are some pictures Michael took (the last is Seymour in front of a drawing I did of him on our chalkboard wall).







Sunday I went with Michael and my 3 best girlfriends to the beach and had a blast. Michael and I got delicious burgers outside for dinner. Here are some cell phone snaps via Mcihael's phone:





We then went home and then enjoyed last night's wonderful episode of Mad Men. I had a great weekend! What did you all do?

vintage shift dress - estate sale
nude dot tights - F21
tan wedges - DSW





I'm hammier than usual today and I'm not sure why. It might be because I bought this dress in April but could only first wear it today. It was this long tunic with open panels and yesterday I learned how to use a sewing machine and sewed them shut. I also hemmed my first dress! It's awesome, I'm addicted now. They turned out pretty well, I must say. I think I'm a natural.

Or maybe I'm hammy because these are my last outfit photos with long hair. I hope tomorrow night I am not looking at them sadly and nostalgically...but my hair is driving me nuts lately so I might as well cut it now, right? It'll grow back, that's what everyone keeps telling me. I'll keep you all posted...



Also don't forget to enter the Rust Belt Threads giveaway. There's still time to enter, but it ends tomorrow night!

sorry sorry sorry

Just a quick post to apologize to my readers. I've been an awful blogger lately. Nearly a week with no update! I've been super exhausted, partly cos I'm sick and partly cos of work and partly cos of stress...and that ain't changin' any time soon. But once I get acclimated to my new lifestyle (Michael, my boyfriend who currently lives in Kansas) will be moving here in two days and in three days I become manager at my place of work (meaning more hours, money, and responsibility)...but despite it all I will still find time to post! I'll at least try to throw in some filler posts now and again. AND my room is starting to look less like my moving boxes exploded (two months later...) so maybe I'll take some photos of my new place.

In the meantime, so you can hate me a little less, here's a(n oldish) picture of my cat being cute:

Wardrobe Remix for 07.12.10

white silk blouse - thrifted (identical one in my shop in blue)
making me blush skirt - modcloth
Rocket Dog Lisbon sandals - Altrec

Just a day of listing, shooting, thrifting, laundry, Target-ing. Nothing really to note. I'm excited about my new sandals though, they are so unlike anything else I own. Really comfy, too!





Seymour likes them, too.

Wardrobe Remix for 05.03.10

peach lace blouse - thrifted
denim jean shorts - thrifted
purple stockings - UO
leopard print ballet flats - Target
cat - Seymour

I'm not sure what to say about this outfit...I feel very meh about these photos. Seymour is cute, though! I guess something about how I'm sorry I've been so bad with the outfit posts, and updating in general. Between seeing my friend Erika before she moves to Mongolia for two years, looking for a new apartment, and planning my trip to New York City the weekend before I move, I gotta say I'm a bit stretched thin! Exciting things on the horizon, though, so I'm loving that.



In other news, the lovely Rachel at MouseVox Vintage is having a sale at her Etsy and eBay shops. 50% of the proceeds for the next two weeks will benefit victims of the flooding in Nashville. It's a noble cause, please check go here for more information!
