Flashback Friday.

Hello, Hello!

Well it's a slow rainy Friday today at work so I might be spending my time browsing the internet to keep busy. Currently Pandora is on the 60's, 70's and 80's station and I am jamming out! So it seemed kinda perfect when I stumbled upon a bunch of old Vogue covers. If there is one thing about fashion that I love, it would be magazine ads. I could probably flip through pages over and over again and just stare at all the ads and spreads. 

     

I grew up for half of my life living with my grandparents, so I always have a love for anything 1940's and later. I've always enjoyed driving around with my grandpa listening to old beach boys tapes in his woody, or spending a night with my grandparents as they play cards with a old movie playing on TCM. I think one of my favorite things about old movies is the fashion. I feel like the style back then is just so unique and beautiful. I can appreciate any woman who can make a pant suit look feminine, and the 1950's did that! 

     

When I came across all of these covers, I got really excited. before moving away, I used to have stacks and stacks of magazines, including a lot of Vogue. Unfortunately I just could not manage to bring them along since I had to pack all my belongings in just one car. Now that I'm finally settled in to a new place, I've been back to collecting magazines and also collecting September issues of Vogue as well.  But looking at these old covers I'm very tempted to maybe buy a few and frame them. 

     

That Spring Fever

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Well the Oregon rain has decided to join us once again. Up until just yesterday we were enjoying 50, 60 and even 70 degree sunny skies the past two weeks. Just within two weeks I caught the inevitable spring fever that is going around, and I'm ready to wear dresses and dance in fields. Okay, maybe I actually won't be doing any dancing outside soon (or for a few months) but I am still wanting to do more things outside of the house. Just a few days ago I decided that I need to just push myself and be more productive and avoid binge watching Netflix on my days off. Don't get me wrong, I'm always happy with spending 8-11 hours trying to finish a season of a new addicting show but I decided that I really do need to just get out and enjoy new sights. I'm not much of a social person when I'm out by myself so most of the time I am completely happy with just sitting down at the local coffee shop and getting into whatever book I'm reading at the moment. 

But let's get back to the spring talk. It seems like everything I've been doing lately is just reminding me of spring and summer. I've been mostly gravitating back to bright colors in my clothes and nail polish. Although wearing black everyday still feels so badass and sassy. I've also been listening to more music that is upbeat and just gives me the feel of summer, and there will be many new playlists in the future. but for now, It looks like the rain will be sticking around with us for a few weeks. So here's to sneaking out to enjoy the sun when it shows and enjoy a nice coffee or going to the dog park with my roommates and the pup.
