You know how you have things that you love individually like ice cream and reeses? And then they are combined it's like a whole new thing to fall in love with? (Sorry, I had a reeses blizzard last night so its first analogy I could think of lol!)  Well when I saw that Vans had released it's Star Wars Collection I was so excited!!! Conrad and I are a huge Star Wars fans. A few of these I know will definitely be Christmas presents from Santa lol

One thing that I actually really like about this new line is that the also offered shoes and products with Star Wars characters subtly hidden in the prints. At first glance its a pretty retro or vintage looking print, but upon looking closer you see a tiny Yoda hidden in those flowers! lol You can shop Vans New Star Wars Dark Side of the Force Collection Here

Also, how rad is this video of Chewbacca skateboarding? haha!




Do you love Vans or have a Vans lover in your family or on your christmas list? These are the perfect way to feed the nerdy urge while also getting something useful like a pair of shoes. I can't wait to see my son's face on christmas morning when he sees his!

Much love and happy Friday guys!

I always look forward to the big sales at Modcloth! The good thing about living in the Texas climate is that spring/summer fashion is in season almost all year long so I can always snag the winter and spring items on sale and continue wearing them. Starting today there is an amazing deal at ModCloth! You can get up to 70% off! Check it out, fall in love and spend some cash. I personally will be spending a few dollars today. This first dress I've had my eye on for a while and the clutch below would go with it perfectly! 

If you've never checked out Modcloth or bought any clothing or decor from the I highly recommend that you do! I love everything so in their store so much. Happy shopping!

Much love!

New in this shop this past week.... I apologize for not make it more pretty of a display, things are incredibly busy today!! My favorites have to be that blue skirt, owl skirt, black sheer dress and the denim jacket! If they were my size I'd so be keeping them! Everyone needs a vintage "little black" dress. =)

I ran out of dryer sheets today, and decided "Hey, I don't feel like buying dryer sheets ever again." I remembered an all DIY tutorial I saw ages ago in a magazine or somewhere where you take old fabric scraps or cloths and spray them with wrinkle release or soak them in liquid fabric softener. I grabbed an old baby wipes container and filled it 1/4 the way up with a 50/50 mixture of liquid fabric softener and water and a couple of sprays of wrinkle release. BAM! Worked like a charm! Best thing is you can just continue to reuse. When I get time I'm probably going to hem them or something to make them really cute. I'm happy I finally found another use for baby wipe containers!




Conrad's adorable suspenders I got him yesterday! It makes me smile. =)


and his cute GAP pj's I got for 50 cents :) the little pocket on the butt is what sold me.


And my little treasure: the floral suspenders. I'm in love.


AND NOW I'm going to go cuddle up with some tissues and try to fight this head cold with some netflix movies. =) ta ta guys

I woke up to my mother leaving a message on my answering machine asking to keep Conrad for the night. (yay!) So I was excited for some "ME" time to explore and thrift and be lazy.

I fixed pancakes and gave the kiddo a bath and got him off to Nana and Pap's house. I started the morning off with NO CLEANING what so ever, and a lovely lovely movie called "Bright Star".


I've been on this binge of 19th & 18th century romance movies like Pride & Prejudice, The Duchess, Atonement etc.. So I added this to my Netflix instant queue since it was a romance about the poet John Keats. It was absolutely beautiful. I teared up a bit. It holds my stamp of approval for what its worth haha! I finally made myself shower and take a bike ride around town before coming home to meet up with the best friend.

We've been meaning to go to this place called "The Corner Thrift Store" forever but its always closed when we try. So we made it today and found all kinds of goodies. The best part is that nearly every item of clothing is $1. We spent a good 2 hours and both spent $14.08 a piece. I bought some cute pants with built in suspenders for Conrad, a few blouses, belts, scarves, corduroy shorts for the hubby and several other little things.

The best find of the day was definitely the russian nesting doll dress I found in the children's section. SO AWESOME. Luckily Jenn fits into some kids sizes haha. We hit up Goodwill after and scored some floral suspenders for myself and some more things for Conrad. Jenn and I later came to the agreement that we would trade off the awesome bag she found for the suspenders every so often haha.



We didn't get this awesome dog shirt because it didn't fit either one of us but it was photo worthy. I thought this little seat/desk was adorable. I'm hoping to talk my bearded man into getting it for me as a little work area.

We painted a few more things for the shop yesterday as well. =)

Hopefully that's the end of my excitement for the next few days.. I'm sunburned and exhausted mentally and physically. Thank goodness I get to sleep in a bit tomorrow. But I'm sure I'll still get up to savor my alone time. Yay for grandparents!
