Estes Park

Sometimes its a happy surprise finding a set of photos on your computer that somehow got lost in the mix for awhile.  These were actually taken in early November and I completely forgot about them!
 Outfit Details: Jacket, Shoes, Pants, Purse - thrifted // Plaid Blouse - for sale in the shop here!

One weekend morning, R, his mom, and I decided to go on a short road trip up to Estes Park for the day.  While it is only about an hour drive, the road had been washed out by the flood and this was the first weekend it was reopened.  It was really sad to see all of the houses and fallen trees that had been completely ruined by the high waters, but it was good to see a lot of the businesses start to come back around and reopen.  We got pizza, wondered around the little downtown, and ended the day with a trip to the candy store to get some homemade fudge!

I am wearing an entirely thrifted outfit, from my jacket down to my shoes! The Dooney and Burke purse was a lucky vintage find last year and is my go-to bag every day, and the plaid blouse is for sale in the shop here! The jacket I thrifted a few days before these were taken, but it immediately went into the "keep for myself" pile!

Hope you're having a great week so far!

Floral + Chambray

A new week and a few snaps from a snowy day last weekend.  The snow makes even the most ordinary landscapes look a little more magical, but I'm happy its finally melting and its been a bit warmer here for the sake of my frozen limbs!

Outfit Details: Chambray Shirt - c/o American Apparel // Shoes - vintage // Pants - Marshalls // 
Beanie - Nixon via Swell // Cardigan - Target // Necklace - c/o Oasap

The reality is finally setting in that this week is my last full week home before I leave for Hawaii.  Its going to be chock full of gift wrapping and keeping up with shop orders!  And of course many annoying trips to the post office, which is the absolutely worst this time of year! I really need to get me a working printer and start printing postage from home.

As for the outfit, I've had these pants for quite some time but I'm not sure if they've ever made it on the blog.  But since I've been loving separates/ pants way more than my usual dresses lately, these needed to make an appearance!  Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

If giveaways aren't your thing but you're still in the shopping mood, there's a discount code at the bottom of the post too :)

And as I haven't done a Friday favorites post in quite some time, here are a few things that caught my eye around the internet lately!

This GQ article depicting the cast of Game of Thrones and their cat look alikes is so good! I especially laughed at Joffrey and Sam.

Speaking of cats, this article about 10 cats that got famous for their markings is possibly the best thing I have ever laid eyes on. 

Urban outfitters is having a 50% off sale on sale items this weekend both online and in stores.  It is taking all my willpower to not buy these golden-heeled pumps! (p.s. the discount is taken at checkout)

This article featuring 11 tiny houses is so cool, I want all of them!

And last but not least, I want anything and everything with the color emerald green.  I am especially loving this outfit worn my Grasie Mercedes and this street style snap of artist Abigail Clark from Refinery 29.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Plaid Reindeer

I am so excited because these are the first outfit photos shot with the new lens I got for my birthday, a huge thanks to my parents!  I still have a lot to learn, but I am really impressed with the quality so far!  For those interested, its a 35mm F1.8 Nikon lens and I got it from Mikes Camera!
Outfit Details:  Deer Sweater - c/o Oasap (on sale now!) // Plaid Top + 
Polka Dot Jeans - Forever 21 // Snow Boots - Target

     This is a super casual outfit I wore working from home and running errands.  As someone who often likes to dream up outfits in advance, I find it really nice when I end up liking something I just threw on for warmth and coziness more than expected.  And since it has been absolutely freezing here this past week, layers and comfort are key!
     And if any of you love plaid as much as I do, there's a ton of cute plaid options available in my vintage shop right now!  This little red tartan number is one of my favorites!  I hope you guys are all staying warm and having a great week!

Pendleton Woods

Hello! Just a few snaps from when I was up in Breckenridge last weekend wearing all vintage from the shop.  Not too many of these shots turned out as it was super bright and the camera just did not want to focus.  The woes of using a tripod in the snow!
Outfit Details: Dress - Vintage Pendleton - for sale in the shop here! // Boots - Vintage - for sale in the shop here! // Blouse - Vintage, for sale in the shop here!

Anyway, of course I went MIA again right after promising to get back into a regular blogging schedule last week.  If you follow me on instagram however, you will know the reason! Besides shop work, I have had my hands full with four little kittens!  As some of you know probably know, I volunteer for my local Humane Society doing kitty foster care, so these little fur babies are in my care for the next to weeks until they are old enough to be adopted!  Make sure to follow along on instagram if you want to be inundated with tons of adorable kitten pictures :)

Have a great start to your week!

Fuzzy & White

For Thanksgiving day, I was torn between leggings and a giant oversized sweater and a dress of some sort.  I decided to borrow this little vintage navy number from the shop because the babydoll style cut was perfect for being comfortable and stuffing myself with mashed potatoes, stuffing, and pie in!
Outfit Details: Dress - vintage - for sale in the shop here! // Boots - vintage - for sale in the shop here! // Coat - Darling UK (The Vivienne Coat) via Zulily

This coat by Darling was my special splurge of the season.  I got it from the daily deal site Zulily for probably over half off, yet it was still way more than I usually spend as I thrift most of my wardrobe! While its fluffy white material with stripes of gold sequins is not my typically more low key style, I have to admit it really makes me feel special when I have it on!

Anyway, these were taken right around the house we rented with family and friends up in Breckenridge for the weekend.  It was in the same neighborhood we rented in last year  so its becoming a tradition, and the place was so pretty and perfect for afternoon walks.  I also had a wonderful birthday on Monday back in Boulder, opening so many amazing presents and going out for sushi and sake with R and the fam.  I dropped my family off at the airport yesterday and they made it out before a huge snowstorm that came through last night.  It feels so strange to be back in my apartment alone, but its nice to be sitting here drinking coffee with my own thoughts, and actually feeling like I want to blog again instead of it feeling like a giant chore.  Sometimes its so important to just take a step back and enjoy the people you are with in the moment!
Hope you guys are having a great week!

p.s.  In case you missed it, one of my favorite bloggers, Elizabeth of Delightfully Tacky styled an outfit wearing boots from The Braided Bandit Vintage on her blog the other day, so exciting! You can see her full post here!

Happy Birthday to Me!

Hip hip hooray, today is my birthday and I am 27 years old!  I really haven't been keeping up with posts lately as my family has been in town and I decided to just enjoy myself and take a week off!

Outfit Details: Sweater - Vintage, for sale in the shop here! // Hat & Pants - thrifted // 
Boots - Marshalls 

We spent Thanksgiving in a beautiful house we rented up in Breckenridge with friends and family and then stayed the weekend too.  It was so beautiful there, and I think I am still stuffed from all of the food I ate.  I knew this vintage sweater from the shop would be a perfect thing to grab for a snowy weekend, and paired it with my new favorite thrifted dino hat.
    Anyway, we are driving back to Boulder today to celebrate my birthday there!  I am picking out a new lens for my camera I have been wanting for ever as my gift from my family, and we may go see a movie and then go to one of my favorite restaurants downtown for dinner and drinks.  I promise to get back to posting regularly again now, and I hope you all had a wonderful holiday here in the U.S! I can't wait to catch up with you all!
