And so another week begins.........

I hope everyone's weekend went well and was only eventful in good ways. Mine was filled with more of looking out the window and wishing the rain would leave. I did go to my local Marshalls and saw that they have put quite a bit of Christmas decorations out already. They had a couple of pieces from last years collection of Krinkles byPatience Brewster which I collect. So that was a pleasant surprise! I also found a HUGE bottle of Marc Jacobs Cucumber perfume for only $20 that I thought would be a good yoga scent. So if you are a fan of his scents, check out your local Marshalls or TJ Maxx to see if they've gotten any in.

I also have been looking at these earring for awhile on Etsy and I recently watched TiffanyD's (of YouTube) September favorites video and she had on some similarly shaped earrings to these, which I thought were really cute on her, so I bought them. They kind of look like artistic/interpretative bats/spider webs and I know they are pretty old because they are stamped "Sterling" and not "925" so I got them.
I watched two movies over the weekend that I had not seen before courtesy of Hulu. The first was The Honey Pot with Rex Harrison and Susan Hayward from 1967. If any of you are into creating vintage makeup looks, I highly suggest you watch this as there are quite a few very good closeup looks at makeup that the female characters are wearing. Very good movie but over 2 hours long so have some time to dedicate to it. Click on the poster to go to the movie.

The second movie I watched was Woman's World with Lauren Bacall and June Allyson from 1954. There are quite a few drool worthy clothes in this and a scene from a dress sample shop that is hilarious!

My Wylde Ivy samples should be arriving soon so I should have some more reviews for you this week. I hope everyone has a wonderful start to the week!

PS Don't forget about my Wiggle Perfume giveaway! You have until Friday to enter if you haven't already done so!

  2. Just watched "Woman's World" last night! That last dress Lauren Bacall wears made me gasp aloud. Gooorgeous!
    I was wondering, what do you wear to yoga? Do you dress fashionably there as well? I never know where to go for cute yoga clothes!
