Lucille is a delighter in the subtleties of life.  She finds comfort in the softness and smoothness of flannel, knitwear, and silk. She lives a simple life of contentment, knowing that what she has is wonderful. Lucille rarely feels anger or discontent. She lives hour to hour and is satisfied with life.

Thank you for all your encouragement with my first mini vintage collection.  I have loved putting it together and styling for this lady persona "Lucille".

Lucille- an almost spring collection

I am excited to present to you my almost spring collection called, "Lucille."

Lucille is a delighter in the subtleties of life.  She finds comfort in the softness and smoothness of flannel, knitwear, and silk. She lives a simple life of contentment, knowing that what she has is wonderful. Lucille rarely feels anger or discontent. She lives hour to hour and is satisfied with life. 

I will release the individual pieces throughout the month.  The first three will be available for purchase tomorrow. 

I've been wanting to do some tiny collections of vintage for some time now.  It has been a blast collecting these items, styling them, and presenting them as a collection. 

A few new items will be put in the shop each week.  Though my shop is in hobby status right now it is a wonderful time and I am thoroughly enjoying it!

Which outfit is your favorite?

 Dominik and I spend a day chasing vintage in Mannheim, Germany.  It is close to Heidelberg but I never seem to get my self up there.  While we were visiting vintage shops and collecting second hand, Dominik shot some photos of my outfit.

Shop Window: Live at SheMonster

Last weekend Dominik and I had a the lovely opportunity to go on a vintage hunt in Mannheim, Germany.  We found a fun vintage shop called SheMonster online and went to visit.  It was far beyond our expectations for cool.  It was pretty wicked.

If you are in Mannheim, any time soon you most definitely should visit SheMonster.  They have a wonderfully curated collection and from what I was told they have new items frequently!

Thanks for making vintage locally available, SheMonster.

Thank you lovelies for reading.

Why I started doing outfit posts.

I struggle with making myself and my well-being a priority.  I often put my work, others, my home, and my worries, above taking care of myself.  I am realizing that when I put some extra time into taking care of myself and looking good,  I feel a lot better.  

I have been thinking about doing outfit posts, to encourage you and me to dress it up a bit more. I hope to show some fun casual "Every Day" style, and some "Work" style, and some of my vintage shop items styled.   

You may be at a totally different place than I am when it comes to spending time on your appearance.

You may need to shave off minutes you spend in front of the mirror.  If you are spending too much time in front of a mirror and that should change, I would like to encourage you to do that.   

However for me, when I begin to get natural dreads in my hair and wear the same jeans every day, I know it is a time to make a change and do a little act signifying making my well-being a priority.  

p.s.  Some of my most favorite bloggers such as Elizabeth from Delightfully Tacky, Amanda from Here's to Looking at Me Kid, occasionally do outfit posts which is fun. Make sure to check those styling ladies out!  

What do you do which really shows you that you are taking care of your self?

Shop Window: Bless That Dress

 

Hello lovelies, I just found this shop which has some lovely items and photography in it.  It was intrigued right away when I saw this photo above. 

Bless That Dress has a great selection of vintage men's and women's clothes.  I would definitely recommend going into their shop door, and looking at the items up close because this shop window is a tease. 

Thank you Marisol Simó Ayuso for sharing this wonderful vintage with us and for doing what you love.

Thank you lovelies for reading.

Outfit: Snazzy Jazzy

{ Shoes: Buffalo, Socks: H&M, Skirt:Vintage, Blouse:Vintage, Cardigan: Vintage}

Just a week ago my man graduated from his Teachers College!  I am super proud of him.  He has worked his booty off these past 6 months.

This was my supporting outfit.  He was playing jazz tunes that evening so I had to look a bit snazzy!
