groovin'


hi!! hope you are all enjoying the week....the weather here has been nothing but fantastic and this pleases me! when it is hot out it always excites me as it means sleeveless shirts, tanks & dresses for me! i love exposing my arms and having them bask in the sun and the other day it was the perfect day to wear one of my favorite dresses!!

to me this dress is perfect! comfy, the pattern is AMAZING and the i just adore the color palette too! i found this dress at the thrift store and i saw it peaking out among the other dresses and new whatever it was it was going to be MINE! basically it was love at first site. i am a HUGE sucker for vintage patterns and 60's patterns are one of my favorite, the era of psychedelic prints and colors and the trendy mod hippie... oh to have lived back then!!

i love how the colors of this dress look so awesome with mary....i definitely felt like a vintage beauty while riding her. sometimes i feel that back then things were made right...there is something about vintage that speaks to my soul....


oh just love this picture...my hair has gotten sooo long and it gets stuck on a lot of things! i really need to start taking pictures somewhere else though, those garbage cans are HIDEOUS!


OH! if you live in the bay area tomorrow i am going to a swapaholics get together with my mom and will be meeting the lovely orchid grey there...although i am sure i will just admire her style from afar as i am sure i will be super nervous to approach her. if you are in sf you should stop on by and say hi!!! you can purchase tickets here & get 25% off by using this code:  City Bird's Nest discount code: BIRDSNEST

    You look INCREDIBLE. That dress is just...it is just perfection. And so simple and summery. I love dresses that you can just throw on in the summer and not have to pair anything else with it.

    wow! this dress is absolutely perfect - very feminine and you look beautiful in it!

    Btw I have one question... I love your etsy shop and I'm dreaming about collaboration ( I saw at mybestfriendjules.com that you work with some bloggers). Is it possible?
