Sometimes I swear I was supposed to be born in the Fifties. I just identify with the style culture, and way of life:) Don’t you just want to jump in that photo and enjoy a summer day?
Fun links for the weekend:
A free set of arrow brushes (as used above) by the talented Ez.
Styled. Issue Six is a fresh take on Spring.
Can’t get over how cute the Mini Rodini line for Poppy’s Closet is.
This chevron dress from Stitched + Adorned. (!)
Domino has returned to newstands. Must find!

    I Love this! I think I should have been born in the 50’s too, it was such a great era. Thanks for commenting and following my blog!! It means a lot. 🙂 Have a good weekend too!

    love the polka dot tank…I’m loving that these retro styles are coming back…makes thrifting a lot more successful!! love also that it means more modest styles are looking fresher and so “in”…hallelujiah for looking cute in the summer without showing the world what your momma gave you!

  13. SUPER EXCITED FOR TOMORROW’S REAL TALK & COFFEE!!!!!
    and i love the retro look. dont think i have the features to pull it off, but its def a look i love!

    happy weekend girly! till tomorrow 🙂

  14. i know what you mean about wishing you were born in a different time…i definitely find myself wishing to live in a different era too-but i can never decide which one!

    loving all your finds though and i hope you have a great weekend!

  15. I heart retro when it’s done like this! So chic, so classy!
    Great outfit ideas….oh I want some gingham right now 🙂

  16. Melissa says:

    The yellow polka dot top is too wonderful. I’m sure there’s no chance it would fit around my preggers belly right now. sad.

  17. Sara says:

    Such sweet finds! The yellow polka dot cami completely ‘had me at hello’ 🙂

  18. AWESOME POST! 🙂
    I am so looking forward to Summer and just love that tote… too cute! 🙂
