Last Week's Treasures:

 

Tom & I found plenty of treasures this week. We came home with a big pile of vinyl, including this gem : The Smiths, The Queen is Dead. We also got a some Moody Blues, Dr. Seuss & Tom's Favorite, the soundtrack to the James Bond film, Live & Let Die on vinyl. I also got a new dress & vintage snowflake design pyrex while Tom got a dior sweater. It was a treasure filled, yet expensive day.

Tuesday Afternoon

 Tom & used this day as our date day. It started out with a hike around the nature center in Anaheim. I brought another pair of shoes for the hike, i am not that cuckoo. There we had a picnic and just walked along the stream. It was lovely. Its nice to find refuge like this in the middle of suburbia.

 

Outfit Details:

Dress: Estate sale

Shoes: Forever 21

Sunglasses: Rose Bowl Flea

Afterwards we headed out to the Richard Nixon Library & Birthplace because it was hot, hot, hot out & we both love american history. It was so much better than i expected. There were lots of fun little exhibits. My favorites being the gowns of mrs, nixon and her daughters. They also had a wall full of letters children had written to the president after he lost to president kennedy. This one was my favorite of them all:

The day ended with a short visit to tom's grandfathers & then we went to see harry potter in 3d. the theater was empty and it was a great end to a lovely day.

this into that

I like the idea of taking inspiration from vintage clothing, this case being a dress from the 1940's & turning it into a modern & new outfit. I will say I would gladly wear any of these two outfits. That Clare McCardell dress is a dream.
