Vintage Pearl Sundays

The vintage pearl necklace I won from Couture Carrie and Alex Keller arrived! It's even more beautiful than I imagined. Here's a preview of how I'll be sporting it this fall, with my vintage tweed jacket and ruffle collared blouse.

In other splendid news, I received a blog award from the breathtakingly beautiful Liss, of DayDream Lily. There's nothing more spectacular than receiving an award from your blog idol. One day, I hope to have a blog as inspirational as DayDream Lily.

Happy Sundays

You can imagine my surprise when I found out that I won Couture Carrie's blog giveaway!! I've never won a giveaway! Eeek! Isn't this vintage pearl necklace from Alex Keller's Etsy shop just lovely. It will look perfect with my fall wardrobe.



On Friday afternoon, my vintage Ferragamo oxfords arrived in the mail!! They are just absolutely wonderful. Pictures of the two ways I'll wear them this fall, with black opaque tights and bobby socks.



And on Saturday afternoon, my vintage Ferragamo t-straps arrived! Oh, how I adore them. Again, worn with the black opaque tights and bobby socks.



Check out the hilarious card I sent my sister for her 30th birthday!! This funny little Chihuahua had me laughing for probably much longer than necessary. I seriously need to buy a hat like that for Pipin. The inside of the card simply says, "Hola, amigo." Classic.


Off to Salem to take pictures with witches. Well, not exactly. But you'll see.

Ferragamo Sundays

Brown and olive oxfords bought at Santoki Vintage




My collection: Black cap-toed heels, black grosgrain bow pumps, brown crocodile bow pumps



Just a quick post about the vintage Ferragamo oxfords I bought last night on Etsy. I have been on the hunt for a cool pair of oxfords for quite some time. But nothing really caught my fancy, that is, until last night. These oxfords are just perfect: 1) they're Ferragamos and I have a mild obsession with collecting vintage Ferragamo shoes 2) they're brown and olive (you know how I adore olive) and 3) they have a one inch heel, which helps my short stature. My wish is to add a pair of red Vara bow pumps next to my collection. Which is easier said than done, since I wear the annoyingly popular size 8.

Got to run, Cole and I are off to Boston to watch (500) Days of Summer! Squueeeeeee!

Blustery Sundays

Saturday's gorgeousness was swept away by Sunday's blustery winds. The weather reminded Cole and I of our college study abroad in the UK...cold, rainy, windy, but gorgeous. We decided to keep it local and do some more touring in our town. I can seriously never get enough of the beauty Marblehead has around every corner. When we move in August, I am going to be choking back heaving sobs. So in order to soak up as much beauty as possible, we decided to take a walk down to Gas House beach and, since it was low tide, continue onto the little island.
