Wow. It's been a while!

 Grrrr! I've been so busy with school and work that I have absolutely NO time to take any good outfit pictures! It's not light outside in the morning before school, (besides I wouldn't be able to wake up early anyways), and it's dark outside by the time I am home from work. Here's the deal. I will try my best to have an outfit post every Monday and any other days that I have off of work which usually includes Tuesday. So my next outfit post will be this Sunday! I'm trying to get back into this. I miss blogging and have recently been following some new blogs! (Well, new to me at least!)
 I also wanted to post about my prom dress that my lovely boyfriend purchased online for me today for $193, waaayyy cheaper than last year's! So here it is!

It's a beautiful lilac 1950's party dress! I wanted so badly to have a tulle dress for prom and I finally found one that I love and is in my size, well, almost. The bust is only a 36 and my bust is usually a 38, but that is in a push up bra and not a strapless bra. This may be a little tight, but I have a great seamstress to help me out with that. (=

The bodice is a lovely deep purple and it's velvet! I can't wait to stand out at prom in this beauty. Heck, I can't wait to just have it here in my hands!

Anyone else gotten your prom dress yet?

Spoiling My Geek of a Boyfriend

You know the one tech savvy guy? Yeah, that one who is in college for computer engineering? That geeky guy that loves zombies? That guy is my boyfriend. I'm going to share with you what I got him for Christmas. My blog is a secret to him. Don't go off telling him that I posted this here! It's not like you know him though...Anyways, these are a few of the things I got for him online.

This is zombie soap!! It smells like twizzlers. I could smell it through the box that it was shipped in. This shop has all kinds of cute soaps. The food ones are really, really neat and realistic. 

Rock Candy Vintage

 Of course this keychain will have the initials C + F.(= This shop has a lot of really cool carved wood gifts in it. I really enjoyed coming across this shop!

And one day I had my parents pick up a Bear's jersey for him, but it's an extra large. I think it might be a little big on him. Ha. But he's tall, so maybe it will work out? 

I was also considering getting him a pillow pet because that is what he got for me for my birthday this year, and I absolutely love the thing! And not because it is a giraffe. It's super soft. It always makes me think of him, and I cuddle up with it every night. But now I just need to decided which one I want to get him. And I also need to decide if I am getting gifts for his family. Bleh! I'm broke right now and I need to pay for my cap and gown and graduation stuff and I owe my parents for buying that jersey for him. What to do? What to do?

Busy busy!

Christmas Shopping!

60's Drop Waist Dress: Height of Vintage

Velvet heels: DSW

Belt: Goodwill

Hat: Antique store

Clutch: Hollywood Mirror (Chicago)

Necklace: Customer from work (=

Yesterday I purchased my first Christmas gift of the year! Actually, my parents picked it up for me and I still have to pay them back for it. (Oops!) I got my boyfriend a Bear's jersey! He doesn't own one and I find that sad. We can wear matching Urlacher jerseys on Sundays now...except mine is pink! Today I hopped on Etsy and bought the few things I had favorited for him also. Those items would be zombie soap and a carved keychain. Just some small cute items. I don't think I'm done with my Christmas shopping for him yet. I think I might get gifts for his family too. I get along with his sisters really, really well.

I can't wait for the snow! It's supposed to snow some this week.(=

Hope everyone is having a blast with Christmas shopping! Remember that it's okay to buy yourself a Christmas gift too!(;

Dreaming of a White Christmas,

1960's black lace shift dress: Momoshop

Black Cardigan: Delia's

Sparkly shoes: Rue21

1950's beaded clutch: Work! The Pulaski County Trading Post

Visit our ebay shop for an array of vintage items here.

Sunday I took pictures before going up to Valpo to see my boyfriend. There were 40 mph winds!! So needless to say it was impossible to get good pictures. They are what they are. The best that I could get! I love this new lace dress! My other black velvet dress arrived, but the hem needs to be fixed up. I've noticed that a lot of old dresses from usually the 50's have really bad, weak hems. My sewing teacher seems to think that fusible web will be enough to hold the hems in place. I now have two dresses that need the hem fixed and two that need a seam resewn. I don't have the time!!

Today I worked from 11 to 8:45 at the store! But I talked Connie into letting me have the little beaded clutch I'd had my eye on. Because it was consigned she had to get enough money to give some to the original owner. She is taking $20 out of my pay for it, but I think it is worth it. I love, love, love the clutch!

Happy Monday!

Blue Roses in My Pocket

50's Dress: Stutterinmama

Faux Fur Coat: bought from a woman in town

Shoes: DSW

Hat: Antique store in Rochester

Necklace: Given to me by a customer at work

I don't know why, but my camera is obviously not functioning correctly. I should probably get that fixed.

Anyhow, everytime I put on one of my old dresses, I always wonder who wore it before me. I wish my dresses came with a sign in sheet. It would be so cool to know the history behind it.

Sincerely,

Felicia

 Dress: No Carnations

Here it is back from Betty's Snip and Sew. It fits me absoutely perfectly now that she took it out some for me. I love that woman. She is a life saver! I owe her sooo much. I now have the need to go shoe shopping. I hate those heels I'm wearing with it, but I also hate shoe shopping. I can never seem to find any shoes that I actually like. Grr! Anyways, I love how this dress really flows well with my body type. Now I just have to decide when to wear this beauty!

Oh and by the way, my other 50's dress arrived today. It's absolutely precious too. It's go the classic 50's cut that just screams "wear a crinoline!" and it's black with purple designs on it. Precious. Pictures of that to come.

Adios,

Felicia

Back to School Time!

 Oh yes, back to school. This is my LAST YEAR! I can finally move on from this stupid town and all of it's crazy drama! I go back tomorrow and I am not looking forward to it. Of course, two days ago I started to feel a little sick. I thought maybe it was just allergies, but today I'm thinking that it may be a cold. After golf practice today I stopped by to pick up my little brother from my grammy's and she has a cold now. I'd feel soooo bad if I was the one to give it to her. =/ I tried not to.
 On the upside I ordered an awesome school bag from Etsy yesterday! It definitely will not be here before tomorrow. It's coming from Latvia. The shipping cost was $12.50! So in the end the bag ended up costing me around $65. It's a really neat leather bag from the 70's. There will definitely be another post about it with pictures. I could try to describe it, but that might be a bit confusing. The way it opens is really unique. It's a really neat bag and I am SO excited to get it! I will once again become a mail stalker.(=
