I believe it was back in 2006 when I watched “Failure to Launch” that I originally fell in love with Zooey Deschanel. I watched the film because I’m an SJP fan, but I quickly realized that Zooey’s character was the only saving grace in that movie.
Now I’m addicted to her show on FOX, “New Girl,” both for the quirky comedic element, and her adorable (coined “adorkable” by FOX) style. Zooey dresses adorably in real life as well, but I am so drawn to her mod style on “New Girl.”
On Saturday, we threw a rousing vintage circus party for my little girl, who turned 2. As usual, I went overboard on the décor and spent several hours on Friday setting it up. About half way through, I thought to myself, “why do I always this?” But once it was all up, and now that I look back at the pictures, I am so happy with how it turned out and I am glad that I put in all the effort (and so, so happy that it’s over…).
Fashion blogs focused on purchasing more vintage and thrifted clothing seem to be popping up everywhere these days. It’s definitely inspired me keep my eyes open at thrift stores and try to find some diamonds in the rough at a fraction of the cost of regular clothing stores. Although it can be a lot of work, it’s also extremely satisfying to walk away with something great at a discounted price.
Of course, shopping recycled clothing is a great way to save money, but did you know it’s also a huge help to the environment? I must admit, although I know the environmental benefits of recycling, I hadn’t really thought about it in terms of clothing until I read this post on my friend Shayna’s blog, Second Hand Challenge.
This weekend I raided some local vintage stores to put together a 1960s-themed costume that channels the show Mad Men. Although Halloween is coming up, I actually have a different reason for getting all dolled up… On Sunday, October 9, the Anaheim/Orange County Visitor and Convention Bureau is hosting the OC Blogger Bash for all…
