Halloween and thrifting

With Halloween coming up and us having our yearly party, my niece asked me to convince my son to be a "T-Bird" from Grease (the original) since she is going to be a pink lady. I was able to convince him. Especially since he has the jeans, converse and white t-shirt.  I thought about going to a thrift store to buy him the jacket, however.....my dilemma is the "T Birds" on the back of it.  I did a search to see if there was such a thing as...

My overindulgent Sunday

As the countdown to doomsday begins (will explain in a minute), I've decide to eat, drink and be merry tomorrow. I will not feel guilty for anything I do, say or eat.  It's the biggest game of the season (Texans vs. Cowgirls...ahem, I mean Cowboys) and we are hosting the game viewing/bday party for my daughter tomorrow.  We are having beer, wings, buffalo shrimp, beer, cake, oh and did I mention beer? There will be plenty of beer pong going...

Fall Fashion

Fall is officially here. We all know what that means...BOOTS! I love summer but I love boots more :) As you all know from reading my posts, my husband says that if I intend on buying new shoes, I should get rid of a pair. I know, ridiculous right? However, my boots do take up a lot of space in my closet and I did find 1 pair that I'm willing to let go. With that in mind, I've started a search for some "new" vintage boots! Look at what I found! Maroon...

The Ultimate Vintage Dream Boat

When I was younger, I had a HUGE crush on Elvis. A few of my favorite movies were Elvis movies: 1. Viva Las Vegas 2. Paradise Hawaiian Style 3. Tickle Me (This is my fav) While writing this post, I am watching #3 on youtube :)  If you've never watched an Elvis movie, I suggest you do so right NOW! He was sooooooooo handsome.  I remember drooling over that perfect face many times. I had tons of posters in my room (along with Billy Idol,...

Thrifting adventures

My friend is a thrift fanatic, but not for the reasons I am (vintage finds). She asked me to go with her and of course, I can't decline a day of thrifting. I found a few items to add to my store, but what she found took me back....WAY back! Does anyone remember a little movie called Xanadu?? Yes! Xanadu! Olivia Newton John in all her glory! That is one of my favorite movies of all time. My friend found the LP and it reminded me that I don't have...

Starting fresh

I am so upset with myself for dropping the ball with this blog and my store. I have made a new commitment to start fresh and post at least every other day! No more sitting on my arse and facebooking all day long! There is absolutely no reason not to post....no more excuses! You believe me, right?...
