A Love Story


5 Things I Love Friday; These are my current obsessions.

1. Iced Treats








Slurpees, iced lattes, and popsicles oh my! It is already in the mid 80s daily here in FL. I am definitely not complaining, but I am just in desperate need of iced treats. Some of you may have noticed that ice cream is nowhere to be seen. *Robyn fun fact* That's because yours truly is lactose intolerant. I am also a hater of tofutti, frozen yogurt, and just about any other ice cream substitute. Thank goodness there are so many other delicious frozen choices.

2. Leotards and Bodysuits

Leotards and bodysuits = instant summer dance parties. Just me? Bonus, layering them with skirts means never worrying about flashing my undies. Take that windy day! I am currently lusting after the low back American Apparel ones, but the vintage finds I have thrifted recently are much nicer on my wallet.

3. Verabel Vintage Lockets





 The jewelry selection on etsy can be so up and down, yet I cannot stay away. After weeding through a lot of awkward homemade pieces recently, I stumbled upon Verabel Jewelry's amazing selection. Their screen printed vintage lockets are by far my favorite. I am currently debating between the feather and moose versions. Such a tough Call. Check them out HERE.

4. Red Shoes








Twice this week I was convinced that my outfit would be much improved by red shoes. However, I own none. I have always thought of them as tacky, garish, mismatched, or just plain not me. Times they must be a changing. Now they are all I can think about. I just can decide between booties, heels, or maybe some Kelly Kapowski style laceless Keds.

5. Model Megan (The final outtakes)





Are you getting tired of these Model Megan outtakes yet? Me neither. Alas, our final photo shoot together is this Sunday. We are making a party out of it, but it is still a sad event. I wish her nothing but the best in St. Louis.  If there are any vintage stores out there in MO that are looking for models, I highly recommend her.   :(


Have a  great weekend.

  4. The Model Megan outtakes are priceless! She's so cute and has a ridiculous amount of personality for a model! I'm sure it'll be impossible to replace her, but perhaps she'll bring her boy back with her one day...
    I also love red shoes-- I own a few pairs and they're perfect for adding a little spice.
    Also love the lockets you featured! I have lockets in my Friday Favorites as well today. Knew it would only be a matter of time before we picked something the same!

  7. I just realized how my comment "she has a ridiculous amount of personality for a model" might be perceived as a slight towards models everywhere. So sorry! I'm only basing that on my limited experience with models. That, and terrible reality television like America's Next Top Model which often supports the stereotype of models being really pretty, but not super intelligent. Sorry, models!

  8. Leotards + skirts are also a perfect biking combo.

  22. Red shoes always remind me of an episode of Madeline where she tries to dance in a prima ballerina's pair of red ballet shoes. I want the ice lolly that looks like a watermelon! That thing is genius!
