VINTAGE VIXEN: It's HOT!

by Tess

It is so scorching hot outside, all we feel like wearing are bodysuits/swimsuits as clothes! This one is especially cute- pair with a skirt or shorts for the day, and you're ready for sprinklers or a pool at a moment's notice!

How are you staying cool?

VINTAGE VIXEN: Bucket Bags for Summer

by Tess

I've been trying to commit to carrying a smaller purse for summer. I'm in love with the bucket bag as an easy carry-all-the-essentials solution. Love the cross body option for running around hassle-free in this heat. Adore these two non-black options below! So cute and easy. This classic vintage shape all of a sudden feels very modern, stylish and also practical. I want them both!

FRUGAL FIANCÉE NO MORE!

Yay! I just got back from a wonderful two weeks away after an amazing wedding! Here is a little bit of more to come! I dont' have professional pictures yet but here's a great pic of my husband and I walking down the aisle.

The dress, if you are wondering, was custom made by my cousin who made couture wedding dresses professionally for years and did mine as a family favor. It is actually a two piece! The big skirt comes off to reveal a short satin dress. I didn't think this double-dress idea was even possible, but it worked out so well!
