Last week I shared the <a href="http://www.bunnysvictory.com/2013/10/the-real-names-of-old-hollywoods-stars.html">real names</a> of some of our favorite classic film stars. I enjoyed putting that post together so much that I thought I would share a few more.<br />
<br />
Many are simple, average American names and some are very indicative of the actor/actresses culture. But no matter why they changed their names, their new stage names defiantly worked for them. Don't you think?<br />

It is October and Halloween will be creeping its way into our households slowly but surely. I know that Halloween, although not typically celebrated in other parts of the world (aside from North America) is being picked up and practiced in all sorts of places now. I mean, what is not to like about dressing up as someone else and getting candy for it? Most of us dress up vintage every chance we get. Although it is more of a lifestyle choice for many of us, it is still super fun to don a costume of a Princess Lea or Wonder Woman or Snow White once in a while, right?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
To continue my countdown and celebration of 50 fabulous years of <i><b>Doctor Who</b></i>, I found some costume inspiration as well as a few great items that one could add to their DW costumes for this October 31st!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Even if you don't dress up for Halloween, DW costumes could be used for some sort of DW celebration or for DW conventions.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 26px;">Weren't these fun!? I can see now why many did change their names but many like Lauren Bacall still went by their birth names when it came to close family and friends. Today she still prefers to be called Betty. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 26px;">The changing of the names is a reminder of how much control the film studios had on their actors and also how powerful a name can be in changing ones images or public persona.</span></span></div>

As many of you know taking on the task of redecorating your home can be a daunting one. But I learned just the other day how fantastic it is when something just clicks and suddenly you know the color scheme and how you want to decorate. It like an "a-ha" home decorators moment!<br />
<br />
We have been needing a new refrigerator for a bit and my husband asked me if I wanted it in white or black. I have never had a black refrigerator, so I went with my instinct and said "black"!<br />
<br />
When the new fridge was placed in our kitchen, suddenly the whole room made sense.<br />
<br />
Although I am still working on the rest of the house, I am now focusing on starting on our bedroom and kitchen (the last rooms). So, I unexpectedly realized that the heart of my kitchen just happens to be my fridge.<br />
<br />
The floor suddenly looked better and just all the wood and appliances seemed to flow with one another. Just an awesome moment for me!<br />
<br />
Here are the before and after of my kitchen:<br />

Can you tell how better it looks? Oh my! This is super exciting for me because I think we will now paint the walls a dark shade of white and the new plates and such will be black/white. The best bit that came to me that in the midst of this dark wood and black/silver appliances, I will add dashes of red throughout the kitchen to add a spark and warmth to it. I am hoping to add 40s-60s pieces throughout the kitchen to add that vintage touch. What do you think?</div>

I love how the fridge has evolved! Yeah for evolution!<br />
<br />
Kitchens are typically the heart of many households and for me my fridge became the heart of mine. It helped me figure out how I would redecorate and after almost eight months of trying to figure it all out-it happened!<br />

You have heard me say it before, dare I say it again...I adore the early 1960's. A time still filled with sweet innocence and on the verge of coming face to face with the ever changing world.<br />
<br />
My father told me what he remembers about the 1960's was that it was quiet. He meant it literally but that the streets were quiet and people were quiet and life was just on a slower speed. I had a bit of a taste of that in the late 1970's and early 1980's but I am sure it didn't taste as sweet as the times prior to the mid-1960's.<br />
<br />
After that it seemed the world was exploded or rather imploded on itself.<br />
<br />
I am a city girl raised by a city dad so I know not of life in the Midwest or South. I have always found it intriguing though. Like those southern belles in <i>Gone with the Wind</i>. All those manners and old fashioned ways. Makes me leap for joy.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, old fashioned ways sometimes also goes along with old fashioned thinking. Especially when thinking that one person is better than another, in this case with the film <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Help_(film)">The Help</a>, because of the color of one's skin.<br />
<br />
I don't know how many of you have seen it but I will be spotlighting it soon as well as giving a proper book review on it as well. But there is this character named Hilly Holbrook who is desperately trying to hold onto the old ways of the South.<br />
<br />
I dislike her character but I love her wardrobe. I cannot deny that. In particular this one dress that is just divine!<br />

Hilly dresses in what I call 1960's preppy chic. This character always wears loud and bright colors because she always wants to ensure that she is the main attraction where ever she goes.</div>

When I saw this dress in <a href="http://www.pinupgirlclothing.com/mustard-floral-birdie-dress.html">Pinup Girl Clothing</a>, it immediately said to me, "Hi, my name is Miss Hilly Holbrook and I wan't you to <strike>see</strike> know how fabulous I am!". I also added a pair of snake print leather shoes because this character was such a venomous person. You can see where I found the rest of the pieces of the outfit on my polyvore<a href="http://www.polyvore.com/help_hilly_holbrook/set?id=98715836"> here</a>.</div>

One of my favorite episode of Series Three with Doctor #10 has to be <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blink_(Doctor_Who)">Blink</a>. Like <a href="http://www.bunnysvictory.com/2013/09/doctor-who-wednesday-love.html">Love & Monsters</a>, The Doctor isn't in it very much but I love the introduction of<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weeping_Angel"> The Weeping Angels</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I mean statues of angels that move when you blink! That idea was marvelous. I have to see they do spook me and it takes a lot to spook me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
For Series Three the Doctor is traveling with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martha_Jones">Martha Jone</a>s, who is brilliant! She is super smart and although not as beloved as Rose by fans of DW, after re-watching Series Three-I think she was the first companion in a while to be close to an equal in intellect and bravery to The Doctor. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
In this episode set in 2007, a girl named Sally Sparrow (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carey_Mulligan">Carey Mulligan</a>) enters an abandoned house to practice her photography. Before she knows it she is thrust into a mysterious adventure involving time travel, time disturbances, a cutie named Billy, a key, and some DVD's.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
This episode leaves you following Sally's every step and before you know it the Weeping Angels have crept up on you! Don't....BLINK!</div>

A look inspired by the Weeping Angels involves pieces in various shades of grey with some sort of Grecian look to it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I scored this cute dress via Ebay <a href="http://stores.ebay.com/Best-Deals-from-Factory-Direct?_trksid=p2047675.l2563">here </a>and knew it would be perfect. Best part is that its a great dress for the fall or spring-I love it! I added a fantastic Grecian inspired headband from <a href="http://www.modcloth.com/">Modcloth</a> called a "silver of hope" headband, a pair of angel wing earrings from Etsy <a href="https://www.etsy.com/people/awhimsicalchristmas">here</a>, and a belt called a "sasha samba belt" from Modcloth as well. I LOVE this belt! </div>

Summer has come to an end and with that many of us are putting away our swimsuits and taking our our cardigans. A few months ago I came across an article about Kathy Kohner-Zuckerman. In that article I learned that she was the real life Gidget!!<br />
<br />
As a little girl I watched many 1950-1970's shows of course along with the typical 1980's shows of my time. But I was particularly fascinated by 1960's shows. One of them being a show called<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gidget_(TV_series)"> Gidget</a> (1956-1966) with the fabulous Sally Field in the starring role.<br />
<br />
From there I eventually watched the film version of<a href="http://www.bunnysvictory.com/2012/05/weekend-cinema-spotlight-gidget.html"> Gidget</a> (1959) starring Sandra Dee. I was memorized. A girl like me...surfing??!<br />
<br />
Now when I read that article of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathy_Kohner-Zuckerman">Kathy Kohner-Zuckerman</a> and I found out that she was the inspiration for the character of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gidget">Gidget </a>(that was her nickname) and that her father wrote a book based on her summer surf stories...well I knew I had to learn more. And better still, I knew I had to read the book!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDIPG6CKHic8DDXYwXfX-fGboiUMo_ymUbhzQFBvusiVJU94cG_RGmnRYf2MMBUmEOQNGzeNbMczsSLzsphZOnb64d6hrPVw-k-2yh4_997iCAzfpQr5zKm8Tp3_VRniHNwog7RFldAvYr/s1600/Gidget.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDIPG6CKHic8DDXYwXfX-fGboiUMo_ymUbhzQFBvusiVJU94cG_RGmnRYf2MMBUmEOQNGzeNbMczsSLzsphZOnb64d6hrPVw-k-2yh4_997iCAzfpQr5zKm8Tp3_VRniHNwog7RFldAvYr/s1600/Gidget.jpg" /></a></div>
I read it in one sitting! Oh boy was it neat! Written by<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_Kohner"> Frederick Kohner</a>, I was left in awe that a middle aged man actually wrote this book! The character of Gidget is spot on with that of an average teen aged girl and he just wrote her so authentically.<br />
<br />
The book reads like a journal you are immediately sucked into Gidget's world of lazy summer days, beach boy bums, and life as a fifteen year old girl. What I enjoyed also about the book is that it also included photos of Kathy during her time as a girl surfer.<br />
<br />
Here are some fabulous photos of Kathy aka the real Gidget:<br />

Although there were some female surfers in Malibu, CA during the 1950's, Gidget was still a one of a kind sort of girl. Being so young and so petite it wasn't easy at first to grasp the sport of surfing let alone carry the darn surf board. But she managed and she also managed to inspire her father to write his book which in turn inspired many young girls to try new things and never give up on something they love.<br />
<br />
This is Kathy in more recent years. She has picked up surfing again and although she is 72 years old she does it to not only keep in shape but also lends her name out for charities as well. I mean she is the real Gidget after all.<br />

Kathy and Sandra Dee on the set of<i> Gidget </i>in 1959. What a neat photo this is!!??</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I found no better way to saying goodbye to the summer than by reading <i>Gidget</i>. It also made me feel invigorated and sentimental as I immersed myself into the book. The character of Gidget reminded me of being a young girl again.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
And although I have no such desire to ever be a teenager again in this lifetime, I was reminded how sweet and innocent and full of daydreams those days were.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

I don't know how many of you have seen any Woody Allen films. His films are what I consider an acquired taste. Some people enjoy it and some just don't. Sort of like sushi or opera. Allen is known for his quirky comedies but this was a first for Allen who combined comedy with Romance in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annie_hall">Annie Hall.</a><br />
<br />
Even if you haven't see Annie Hall, if you saw her tie outfit you would know that it came from that film. It is defiantly an iconic look.<br />
<br />
I think what I like about this outfit is that it doesn't completely reflect the year the film came out, 1978. It is very undated and slightly androgynous.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhclA-Mra2Tdxj4u_QNzcq1EOIwEGovHqRIyEQNVinLelsDdfczIVgc61aYuLtbAOBYlAn_EGgOxlySq5aORbswc455qpnYeEUiBlKWNP_1nCRkiXUqv_rRkFYZXKBq2kCdDDPfSTBS0ZBo/s1600/PicMonkey+Collageah.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="376" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhclA-Mra2Tdxj4u_QNzcq1EOIwEGovHqRIyEQNVinLelsDdfczIVgc61aYuLtbAOBYlAn_EGgOxlySq5aORbswc455qpnYeEUiBlKWNP_1nCRkiXUqv_rRkFYZXKBq2kCdDDPfSTBS0ZBo/s640/PicMonkey+Collageah.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
I wanted to do something a little different with Annie Hall's outfit. Although still mainly androgynous, I thought having a khaki skirt instead of pants would add just a tiny bit more femininity to the look.<br />

David Tennant. Yes. I just typed that. I know so many DW fans just adore <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Tennant">Tennant's</a> tenth Doctor. And I cannot blame them one bit.<br />
<br />
The tenth Doctor's first companion of course was <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose_Tyler">Rose Tyler</a>. Towards the end of this second series something shifts in the programmi<span style="font-family: inherit;">ng and we follow the adventures and story of one Elton Pope (played by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Warren">Marc Warren</a>). This episode of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_%26_Monsters">Love & Monsters</a> is a joy to watch because we get to see The Doctor from the view of someone not connected to him personally but still longing to know who he truly is.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Elton's life has been touched by The Doctor but he cannot seem to remember why. He finds a group of friends whose lives have also been affected by The Doctor in one way or another. Their friendship tightens and they even form a band, just for a moment anyway. Until the mysterious Victor Kennedy shows up and decides that this group talking about The Doctor isn't doing enough to find him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Things seem normal as the search for The Doctor begins but that is when we find out who Victor Kennedy really is and why the members of the group LINDA (<b style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.1875px;">L</b><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.1875px;">ondon </span><b style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.1875px;">I</b><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.1875px;">nvestigation </span><b style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.1875px;">'N'</b><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.1875px;"> </span><b style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.1875px;">D</b><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.1875px;">etective </span><b style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.1875px;">A</b><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.1875px;">gency)</span> </span>are disappearing.<br />

Elton does find The Doctor and<span style="font-family: inherit;"> also finds out why he remembers him from his childhood. Sadly, all the members of the group LINDA got absorbed by a <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.1875px;">Abzorbaloff (Victor Kennedy), a creature who absorbs his prey.</span></span><br />

Tennant's Doctor wore snappy pin striped suits, usually brown or blue with matching converse sneakers. What is not to love?! The colors blue and burgundy run rampant in <a href="http://www.bunnysvictory.com/2013/08/doctor-who-wednesdays-world-of-doctor.html">Doctor Who</a> episodes of the "new" series. Same goes for Tennant's usual outfits.<br />

I couldn't wait to figure out an an outfit inspired by the 10th Doctor. He was so snazzy, clever, fun, very logical and a adventurer at heart.<br />
<br />
Many a time he wore black trimmed glasses so I couldn't resist to snatch me a pair. I don't use glasses just yet so the pair I am wearing are a faux pair. I love them though! What do you think?<br />

<span style="text-align: justify;">I wore my <a href="http://www.eshakti.com/">eShakti</a> vintage inspired pleated skirt in navy blue. I paired it up with a vintage blouse purchased via Etsy and a cropped navy cardigan from <a href="http://oldnavy.gap.com/">Old Navy</a> (purchased at just 15.00!). I added a little burgundy via my earrings purchased at my new favorite shop, <a href="http://www.maurices.com/home/index.jsp">Maurices</a> for just 8.99.</span></div>

Cardigans have somehow always been a part of my wardrobe. From ages six to eighteen I wore them with my school uniform and then in my early twenties I wore them as part of my wardrobe as a teacher.<br />
<br />
Today I like to wear them with jeans when I am wearing my casual outfits with my family or pair them up with dresses and skirts with my vintage outfits.<br />
<br />
With fall finally making it way to New York, I dare say it is finally cardigan weather!!! I feel like I have waited all summer for this!<br />
<br />
When it comes to cardigans like anything else you should look everywhere. If you can find great ones at your local thrift store or in Old Navy or a authentic 1950's one on Etsy-I say snatch them all. I love the look of vintage cardigans (and sweaters) but I also love modern vintagey ones.<br />
<br />
I am a practical sort of girl and nowadays I like my cardigans (and sweaters) to last as long as possible. So buying used or vintage is a great way to shop but I also believe investing in some well made newer cardigans (and sweaters) is a wise venture as well.<br />
<br />
The shops right now are teeming with cardigans and I found ten super fantastic ones that I just adore. Many are simple but with solid cardigans you can add an amazing brooch and you can really make it pop. I also find having solid color pieces, cardigans or not, as a good investment to your wardrobe (modern or vintage) because they are so versatile.<br />
<br />
If you find a cardigan you really love I say keep watching it online because a lot of stores are having fabulous sales and offer some amazing coupons. For example, the <a href="http://www.maurices.com/home/index.jsp">Maurices</a> cardigan right below-I purchased for 14.00! That is because they were having a buy one sweater get one half off deal. I love this cardigan-it is sooo well made!<br />

Don't you just love them all? I just had to add the bunny one! What can I say-I am a sucker for anything with a bunny on it!<br />

Do you use cardigans in your vintage or modern wardrobes?<br />

Last week I received a copy of <a href="http://www.bettysattic.com/home.do">Betty's Attic</a> (est. 1914) catalog. I love their stuff. Most of it is kitschy but some of their items can really make your eyes pop with excitement. One such item was an <a href="http://www.bunnysvictory.com/2012/08/classic-film-actor-spotlight-august.html">Audrey Hepburn</a> Barbie based on the film <a href="http://www.bunnysvictory.com/2012/08/weekend-cinema-spotlight-roman.html">Roman Holiday</a>.<br />
<br />
Oh my! I jumped for joy! I cannot believe this beauty is out so I knew I had to share it with you all.<br />
<br />
It may come as a surprise but I am actually a Pop Culture Barbie collector. I basically collect Barbie's that reflect the time such as in film, music, society, etc. You can see a few <a href="http://www.barbiecollector.com/collection/more-pop-culture-dolls#shop-this-collection">here</a>. Honestly, I never thought I would get into collecting them until my husband purchased one for me when we were dating. Prior to that I only owned one Barbie as a young girl so I never imagined I would enjoy collecting them now as an adult.<br />
<br />
There are a few Audrey Hepburn inspired Barbie's out there to collect. You have the ones from <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/My-Fair-Lady-Hepburn-Ascot-Embassy-Ball-Pink-Higgins-Barbie-Ken-Doll-Lot-5-/130978173536?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e7ee85260">My Fair Lady</a> and <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Audrey-Hepburn-in-Breakfast-at-Tiffanys-1998-Barbie-Doll-Black-Evening-Gown-/300963693391?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4612d5834f">Breakfast at Tiffany's</a>. And there is the one with Barbie Audrey wearing the stunning black and white gown from <a href="http://www.barbiecollector.com/shop/doll/audrey-hepburn-sabrina-doll-x8277">Sabrina</a>.<br />
<br />
Just the other day I posted an <a href="http://www.bunnysvictory.com/2013/08/film-fashion-friday-roman-holiday.html">outfit inspired</a> by the film <i>Roman Holiday</i> and now here is a Barbie doll of Audrey wearing the outfit! I just love it!<br />

Isn't she stunning! It is a must have for a Barbie collector or die hard enthusiasts of Audrey Hepburn.<br />
<br />
I found this Barbie in a few places but the best price yet has to have been<a href="http://www.barbiecollector.com/shop/doll/audrey-hepburn-roman-holiday-doll-x8260"> here</a>.<br />
<br />
What do you think of this Barbie Audrey doll?<br />

<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakfast_at_Tiffany%27s_(film)">Breakfast at Tiffany's </a> happens to be one of my favorite films. And of course it stars the ethereal <a href="http://www.bunnysvictory.com/2013/08/film-fashion-friday-roman-holiday.html">Audrey Hepburn</a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The film showcases some outstanding pieces of fashion and the most iconic is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Givenchy_dress_of_Audrey_Hepburn">Givenchy's</a> "little black dress" that you see in the very beginning of the film. But there were flashes of casual looks that Hepburn wore in the film that I personally love. I find these sort of outfits can be attainable and work in our everyday wardrobe. Unlike fancy dresses, which are fantastic but not as practical.</div>

I found 99% of the pieces you see here in my <a href="http://bunnysvictory.polyvore.com/">Polyvore Set </a> from one of my new favorite shops called <a href="http://www.bodenusa.com/">Boden USA</a>. I have yet to purchase a piece from this store but when I do you bet I will review it. Right now I am eyeing the <a href="http://www.bodenusa.com/en-US/Womens-Knitwear/Jumpers/WK885/Womens-Sixties-Sweater.html?NavGroupID=6">Sixties Sweater</a> that is included in the ensemble below.

Every person who is a fan of something collects. Whether it is shoes, books, hair clips, compacts, it doesn't matter. If you love something or adore something to bits there is a high chance you would want to have something that reminds you of that passion.<br />
<br />
Since this year marks the 50th Anniversary of <a href="http://www.bunnysvictory.com/2013/08/doctor-who-wednesdays-world-of-doctor.html">Doctor Who</a>, there are oodles of items floating around cyberspace for every Whovian to get their hands on.<br />
<br />
These items were found on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/">Amazon</a> (US version) and I will admit that I would love have just about all of these things. I imagine myself drinking tea out of my Dalek Victory mug while watching an episode from the blue-ray gift set. All the while munching on some Jelly Babies (the 4th Doctor's favorite treat) as I text my friends on my DW covered phone. Not to mention to read those amazing books I found that seem to carry outstanding amounts of information about the show and they also have rave reviews from readers. Oh and let's not forget a DW cookbook-gah! And I just had to add the gas mask as it reminded me of one of my <a href="http://www.bunnysvictory.com/2013/08/doctor-who-wednesdays-empty-childrose.html">favorite episodes</a> from the "new" series.<br />
<br />
So, feast your eyes on these beauties and think about what you would like to add to your DW collection!<br />

Believe it or not but today marks ONE year since I created my very first Vision Board. The last two years prior to last September was really (and I mean really) hard for my family. We were struggling with many things. But there came a point where I said to myself (and to the Universe) that I have had enough. My husband and I both work ourselves to the bone every day and ya know sometimes you just need to catch a break. Sometimes you need for something to happen to let you know you are doing good and that to encourage you to keep going.<br />
<br />
Well, I have always been an avid dreamer. I think when I had moments of hard times growing up, it was my dreams that kept me going. Some people call them goals but I call them dreams.<br />
<br />
If you would like to take a peak at my Vision Board from last year you can see it <a href="http://www.bunnysvictory.com/2012/09/bunny-vision-board.html">HERE</a> and also the six months later post on it <a href="http://www.bunnysvictory.com/2013/02/my-vision-board-six-months-later.html">HERE</a>.<br />
<br />
I want you all to know that in life great and good things happen and also bad and horrible things happen. It truly is how we deal with it afterwards that makes the difference. And what is the point of hardships if you cannot learn from them right?<br />
<br />
I have to tell you a year after my first Vision Board I learned to be more patient, to be kinder to myself, more understanding to my husband, and that it is perfectly okay to dream BIG!<br />
<br />
So many things came true on my Vision Board. I added both photos (visuals) and words on my board and everyday I looked at them and everyday I put it out to the Universe what I wanted for myself and my family. I know, I know, I sound like a total hippie. But hey, I was born in the 70s!<br />
<br />
Here are some of the dreams/goals/wishes achieved in 2011-2012:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Being published in Vintage Life Magazine</li>
<li>Getting a safer car for my family</li>
<li>Doing more creative photo shoots</li>
<li>Becoming more confidant in my post-babies body</li>
<li>Becoming more financially stable</li>
<li>Building my vintage wardrobe</li>
<li>Learning more vintage hairstyles</li>
<li>Becoming a better blogger</li>
</ul>
<div>
For my first year as a Vision Board maker I decided to create a new Vision Board. And my husband joined in too! Yeah! Here is my new board!</div>

<div>
I haven't added my words yet but I am still pondering them. With the boards I make I choose an idea or word to be the focus. Last year said "success" this year says "blog". This year I also wanted to put less on my board and to focus on less dreams too. Everything I put on my boards is attainable. I don't put anything on there that I know couldn't possibly come true.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So that's it! What do you all think? </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I hope you are inspired to create one for yourselves. And oh the photo of the ladies body is not me-its the dream of getting healthier and fully accepting my post-babies tummy for what it is. I am half way there ladies-half way there!</div>

I am so lucky that Katie asked me to review her book. It truly is packed with the sort of information every shopper should have but to have it told with such candor and humor and warmth makes reading her book a true joy.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonnie_and_Clyde_(film)">Bonnie and Clyde</a> (1967) is a love story between two people who live out a life of crime and violence. Not a fairy tale love story and defiantly not a fairy tale ending but it is based on a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonnie_and_clyde">true story</a>. And it stars the fantastic <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faye_Dunaway">Faye Dunaway</a> as the lead, Bonnie Parker.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I adore this ensemble made famous in the film. Dunaway gives her best sassiest look for the camera and there is no dying that she owns the moment. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPPWJ9xLYmeQpifWE608ym_T1fCzKqahZaiIYe-OLWxs_i4zSO7_PsckjY8Nmj3ctZJDnz9QOwqTHarYjk7uNGueFZD_lKDY8JK1uLCUqU-4X33_zHVPu_Cfi4oxciwrHN6XZ1IUvFnxM/s1600/Bonnie+and+Clyde.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="388" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPPWJ9xLYmeQpifWE608ym_T1fCzKqahZaiIYe-OLWxs_i4zSO7_PsckjY8Nmj3ctZJDnz9QOwqTHarYjk7uNGueFZD_lKDY8JK1uLCUqU-4X33_zHVPu_Cfi4oxciwrHN6XZ1IUvFnxM/s640/Bonnie+and+Clyde.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
If you haven't seem the film be prepared to see loads of 1930's fashion (as it was set in the early 1930's) with a 1960's twist. I found the hair to be the most unauthentic but you still get the feel of the 1930's which is what's important, right?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
To create this look that Dunaway as Parker is wearing I turned to<a href="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/home"> Polyvore</a>. I have had account with this site for a while but never tried making a fashion set. I have found this site to be incredibly inspirational and if you haven't checked it out-I highly recommend it. Just type what you are looking for under the word <i><b>sets</b></i>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
This is my first time creating an outfit using Polyvore. The last three posts in this series I used Picmonkey. I sorta like this set better. What do you think?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
If you would like too see the pieces featured in this post, feel free to check out my Polyvore<a href="http://bunnysvictory.polyvore.com/"> here</a>. Let me know if you have one too so I can follow you on there as well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
It was so much fun using Polyvore to create my version of Bonnie Parker's outfit. I also think it would be a comfortable and chic look for the fall especially if paired with a blazer or jacket.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

Last week I shared with you one of my favorite episodes from <a href="http://www.bunnysvictory.com/2013/08/doctor-who-wednesdays-world-of-doctor.html">Doctor Who</a> from Series One called <a href="http://www.bunnysvictory.com/2013/08/doctor-who-wednesdays-empty-childrose.html">The Empty Child</a> and showed you how you can create your very own Rose Tyler outfit. </div>
<br />
This week I will continue my love for <i>The Empty Child </i>episode with focus on the 9th Doctor. When <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Eccleston">Christopher Eccleston </a> come into the DW Universe when the show was on what seemed to be a indefinite hiatus from 1996 to 2004. Then came the reboot of the show and Eccleston proved to be an outstanding Doctor.<br />
<br />
There was a major shift in the story line though. The 9th Doctor tells us of a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_War_(Doctor_Who)">Time War</a> between his people (the Time Lords) and the Daleks (his arch-enemies). In that Time War he became the last known living Time Lord. It also left this Doctor teeming with anger, rage, frustration, and deep loneliness.<br />
<br />
This Doctor was different, different in many ways from the eight before him but yet still the same. Still hungry for an adventure, still energetic, still brave, still exploring the world and time endlessly.<br />
<br />
In <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Doctor_Dances">The Doctor Dances</a>, after he solves the mystery as to why people's faces are breaking out into gas masks, he has this incredibly joy-filled moment when he used the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanorobot">nanogenes</a> (think mini robotic doctors) and heals everyone who was infected.<br />
<br />
After suffering so much loss from the Time War, The Doctor has a moment where he saves lives instead of loses them. Eccleston's protrayl of the Doctor is FANTASTIC!<br />

You too can dress like the 9th Doctor! He wore a very, very simple ensemble. It consisted of a pair of black jeans, a jumper (sweater), and a black leather jacket. He used his sonic screwdriver many times but he didn't have any gimmick or love of bow-ties or striped scarves.<br />
<br />
My outfit was made up of a sold black <a href="http://www.eshakti.com/Product/CL0028221/Belted-poplin-skirt">belted poplin skirt</a> by <a href="http://www.eshakti.com/">eShakti</a>. I love, love, love this skirt. It fit perfectly and is VERY true to size. It also comes with a matching belt and has two side pockets! I mean, who doesn't love a pocket with their skirt??!!<br />
<br />
My blouse was from<a href="http://www.eddiebauer.com/home.jsp"> Eddie Bauer</a> but I purchased it gently used via Ebay. I love the color burgundy (or brick) but it is a hard color to find. I noticed that many, and I mean many, outfits wore on DW included the color burgundy in it. I think it is a fabulous color for fall/winter. Don't you?<br />
<br />
I finished off my outfit with my jacket that I found on Amazon (it also has a hood that I adore!). I included the link in my last DW post but if you want it again this is it<a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=bl_sr_apparel?ie=UTF8&field-brandtextbin=FineBrandShop&node=1036592"> here</a>. I wore simple silver loop earrings and a necklace of a wolf purchased on Etsy <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/saybyetwice?ref=l2-shopheader-name">here</a>. One of the themes of Series One was "Bad Wolf" so I think it was a perfect addition to the outfit.<br />

I am now a mother of a six year old. Six? Geesh I was just pregnant with her! I just had her! I was just changed her diaper and wiping that little tushy! Oh they say time goes fast, it is the truth. It does.<br />
<br />
I have shared my love for Doctor Who with my children but I also shared the story of Harry Potter with them as well. I don't shy away about talking about life or death with my children because both have been a part of my existence and I am sharing my whole self with them. I am also teaching them about my mother, not that I have much to go on but I teach them that she is their grandmother and she loves them and she is in heaven loving them still. Little things like that.<br />
<br />
Although we haven't delved into the HP books just yet (I will be soon though), they all love the films. Especially my girl. She just loves Harry and she likes seeing the friendships on screen and the fight for good against evil. When she asked for an HP party, how could I say no?<br />
<br />
For the first time ever we held a birthday party at a party place and so I brought in some HP things I wanted her to have. Since she is so little I didn't go too nuts with the decorations and such but oh boy if one of the boys ever wants an HP when they are older-watch out-I will go bonkers!<br />
<br />
Her party was the day of her actual birthday (August 27th) and I decided to dress up for the event. She asked me to be Professor McGonagall. So of course I scored myself a witch's hat online and thought this dress would look great with it.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I wore a 1950's dress, it has this beautiful shade of blue interwoven throughout the entire dress. Blue is one of my favorite colors and I love it. It fit so comfortable and as most of you already know is like number one of my list of must have with an outfit. I purchased it on Etsy from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/dinalouiseSF">dinalouiseSF</a> and paired it with my trusty Moonglow. I like things to be simple especially when I am with my children. It makes for less things to be lost or broken or whatever could happen.<br />

The birthday girl and her friends sat down and had the sorting hat tell them which house they were going to and they were pinned with a house pin afterwards. Of course bunny girl wanted Gryffindor because she adores Harry Potter. They were given wands that were lite up and made swooshing sounds from Amazon <a href="http://www.blogger.com/%3Ca%20target=%22_blank%22%20href=%22http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=as_li_qf_sp_sr_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&index=aps&keywords=Wizard%27s%20Wand&linkCode=ur2&tag=bunsvic-20%22%3EWizard's%20Wand%3C/a%3E%3Cimg%20src=%22https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=bunsvic-20&l=ur2&o=1%22%20width=%221%22%20height=%221%22%20border=%220%22%20alt=%22%22%20style=%22border:none%20!important;%20margin:0px%20!important;%22%20/%3E">here</a>.<br />

Her day was magical and that is what we wanted for her. I believe in magic and I want my children to believe in it too. I want them to know that nothing is really impossible and that as J.K. Rowling says, "It is important to remember that we all have magic inside us."<br />

Who doesn't adore the style and fashion tastes of the magnificent <a href="http://www.bunnysvictory.com/2012/08/classic-film-actor-spotlight-august.html">Audrey Hepburn</a>?! I know I do. I love the simplicity of the pieces she wore and how she wore things that brought of the best of her figure not hide it or distort it. For example, skinny jeans are NOT, repeat, NOT for everyone. They just aren't, Neither are low rise jeans (the horror-who invented those?!) or mini skirts or cut off t-shirts (ugh the 80s are back my dear!).<br />
<br />
There is something special when a decade in history forms a specific style that defines that time. Like bell bottoms in the 70s or poodle skirts in the 50s. But again, knowing your figure and what looks good one you doesn't always mean that you should be wearing those bell bottoms or poodle skirts but rather than an alternative. Audrey did just that.<br />
<br />
Audrey and Grace Kelly are two of my favorite style icons. Most likely because they liked clean, simple, and often solid colored pieces. Grace was known to have oodles of solid colored pieces in her private wardrobe and kept her pieces until their were too worn to wear. Pieces like that never go out of style.<br />
<br />
Although the fabulous <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edith_Head">Edith Head</a> was in charge of the wardrobe for <a href="http://www.bunnysvictory.com/2012/08/weekend-cinema-spotlight-roman.html">Roman Holiday</a>, upon meeting Audrey she soon learned that this acting newcomer knew what looked good on her frame and what worked and what didn't. Unfortunately, they did not see eye to eye on things and although Audrey would wear the long sleeves, scarf, and low heeled shoes that Edith picked for her character of Princess Ann, she slowly removed and altered them as the film progressed to suit what she believed looked right on her frame.<br />
<br />
As well all know, Audrey would later work with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubert_de_Givenchy">Hubert de Givenchy</a> on her films and would forge a lifelong work relationship and friendship with him. She most likely did because he knew what worked best on her figure too. Its like finding the right doctor or photographer or hair stylist. You have to work with those who will best fit your vision and help you get to your best you. Givenchy was that for Audrey.<br />
<br />
Audrey a small handful of costume changes in the film but the one she is seen wearing the most frequently and the one she and Edith clashed on was "the commoner" look. She starts out with a white blouse, full belted skirt, low heeled shoes and long hair. As Princess Ann begins to explore Rome with under cover journalist, Joe Bradly (Gregory Peck) she cuts her hair short, shortens her sleeves, removes her scarf, and trades in her shoes for a pair of roman inspired sandals.<br />

Although I have looked everywhere for the specific color of her skirt, I couldn't find it. I have seen it depicted as pink or blue or even red but perhaps we shall leave that for interpretation.<br />
<br />
Here is a Roman Holiday everyday commoner look inspired by <i>Audrey Hepburn</i> and <i>Edith Head</i>:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Let's start with the skirt-it's from <a href="http://www.eshakti.com/">eShakti</a> and it is divine. It has pockets just like Princess Ann's skirt does too! I know because I have it in black (I will be posting about it next week). It is a <a href="http://www.eshakti.com/Product/CL0028018/Belted-poplin-skirt">belted knee-length poplin skirt</a> that I paired with a blouse from <a href="http://www.modcloth.com/">Modcloth</a> called the<a href="http://www.modcloth.com/shop/blouses/little-white-tie-top"> Bettie Page Little White Tie Top</a>. The accessories I choose were a pair of earrings called <a href="http://www.modcloth.com/shop/earrings/bedecked-with-blooms-earrings">Bedecked with Blooms</a>, a scarf called <a href="http://www.modcloth.com/shop/scarves/runway-we-go-scarf">Runway We God Scarf</a>, and a pair of to-do-for shoes called <a href="http://www.modcloth.com/shop/shoes-flats/defined-the-scenes-flat-in-licorice">Define the Scenes Flats in Licorice</a>-all from Modcloth.<br />
<br />
I also found these great articles; <a href="http://www.wikihow.com/Look-Like-Audrey-Hepburn">How to Look like Audrey</a> and How to <a href="http://www.wikihow.com/Have-an-Audrey-Hepburn-Influenced-Style">Have an Audrey Influenced Style</a>. And I just have to share the clip from the film <i>Roman Holiday</i> with you just so you can see a little more of her haircut <a href="http://youtu.be/Udhn4vCPZ7A">here</a>. And speaking of haircuts, although I couldn't find any Roman Holiday-esque hair tutorials, I did find two wonderful <i>Sabrina </i>ones <a href="http://youtu.be/ohHmthOS_8E">here</a> and<a href="http://youtu.be/vhninTgFPVw"> here</a>.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Like many fans of <a href="http://www.bunnysvictory.com/2013/08/doctor-who-wednesdays-world-of-doctor.html">Doctor Who</a>, I have a few favorite episodes that I can watch over and over. I have at least two favorite episodes for each of the new series and a nice handful of favorites from the classic seasons. </span><br />
<br />
Everyone has a favorite Doctor and favorite companions. In the end I like them all, truly I do. But I have to say Doctor #9 holds a special place in my heart because in my opinion the performance <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Eccleston">Christopher Eccleston</a> gave to that character brought the series back to life.<br />
<br />
<i><b>The Empty Child</b></i> and <i><b>The Doctor Dances</b></i> are my top two favorites from Series One. I think a big part of it is because it is set in the 1940's during World War II in London. That is just the backdrop of the story that centers around a young girl who is running from a child with a gas mask who keeps calling for his mummy. Problem is that everyone he touches becomes altered with their own permanent gas mask faces. In the midst of this horror we get to meet for the first time Captain Jack Harkness, played by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Barrowman">John Barroman</a>. His character is flirty, clever, smart, and a man of action, not to mention incredibly handsome (swoon!).<br />
<br />
Doctor #9's companion is named Rose Tyler, played by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billie_Piper">Billie Piper</a>. She starts out as this young, average girl who sort of goes through the day without any purpose or deeper meaning and ends up (through mere circumstance or was it?) traveling the stars and seeing life through the Doctor's eyes. To me, by the time T<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Empty_Child">he Empty Child</a> episode comes on, Rose is really comfortable and confidant in her role as his companion. She also feels more confidant in herself and her own capabilities.<br />
<br />
When the Doctor and Rose land in the middle of the London Blitz, she is wearing this simple but important outfit that I think plays in nicely with the episode. Technically Rose is about nineteen in that episode so like every young woman she wears comfortable yet hip clothing, She isn't terribly stylish but in this episode she tries hard to make her <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_Jack">Union Jack</a> t-shirt work for her. I just thought it was so youthful and poignant to wear something like this for an episode set in WWII.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8x9SuSgaSZ-bhYxA2mSbLHBzxKAIqFa9hGMnrWCMDRkGdcgWrB_VumYHLO4D9NrbkhEk_nC0MrBRmFK3XyTt5aVkF54pX4N-aOzvIuwQ4ReOZv7hNsNt8G8N5apxD7YWJo1VjS9C4QNM/s1600/Doctor+Who+The+Empty+Child.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8x9SuSgaSZ-bhYxA2mSbLHBzxKAIqFa9hGMnrWCMDRkGdcgWrB_VumYHLO4D9NrbkhEk_nC0MrBRmFK3XyTt5aVkF54pX4N-aOzvIuwQ4ReOZv7hNsNt8G8N5apxD7YWJo1VjS9C4QNM/s640/Doctor+Who+The+Empty+Child.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
Before I share with you my Rose Tyler outfit I want to share with you some of my DW fashion rules:<br />
<ol>
<li>You will see in every DW fashion post colors that I picked out from a character's particular outfit. I will either take inspiration from that color palette, attempt to duplicate the outfit, or take inspiration from the outfit/character/episode.</li>
<li>I will allow myself to repeat pieces whenever I post a DW outfit post.</li>
<li>I will work with what I have in my wardrobe.</li>
<li>If I do buy something for my outfit post it HAS to be something that I will wear again. So that means I may not wear a specific cut of a dress or color because it is something I would never wear again minus the post.</li>
<li>Lastly, I will wear a blend of modern and vintage pieces and sometimes just wear modern or just wear vintage. </li>
</ol>
<div>
I will be following these rules every time I do a fashion post inspired by a film/tv show.<br />
<br />
Fashion hasn't always been a fun subject for me but expressing my fashion tastes and choices through the inspiration of a show or film has been super fun for me to do. It has made it so much fun that I am actually enjoying shopping in modern stores again. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So without further adieu I give you Bunny as<i> Rose Tyler</i> in <i><b>The Empty Child:</b></i></div>

There you have it...the Latina version of Rose Tyler hehe Like I said this outfit is simple and two most important pieces of the outfit were the t-shirt and the hairstyle that she had. Since my hair is wavy, I set my hair to have some softer curls unlike Rose's messy look. That look just wouldn't work for me. But I did like putting my hair up in the front like she had it. I am the sort of girl who doesn't like her hair in her face too much LOL<br />
<br />
The rest of the outfit was a pair of good old fashioned blue jeans, the Union Jack t-shirt, a black jacket and some chips. Chips? Oh, I mean fries. Just kidding. But chips (fries) are Rose's favorite snack so I figured I throw in a yummy prop for my shoot.<br />
<br />
The jeans were mine from Old Navy, the Union Jack t-shirt was purchased on Ebay <a href="http://stores.ebay.com/Love-Lola-Fashion?_trksid=p2047675.l2563">here</a>, the black synthetic jacket was purchased on Amazon<a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=bl_sr_apparel?ie=UTF8&field-brandtextbin=FineBrandShop&node=1036592"> here</a>, and lastly the UK themed bracelet was scored at Claire's Acessories on sale. I wore it for the fun of it. I love my jacket and you will see me wear it again. I needed a casual jacket and I am not too fond of leather so synthetic leather suited me real well.<br />
<br />
There you have it. Some DW fashion fun. Hope you enjoyed it because I sure did. It was a blast. I cannot wait to post the rest. This series won't be entirely dedicated to DW fashion but you will see it often enough.<br />

Oh gosh I adore the 1960's. It is a time in our history, especially American history where just about every change one can think of was happening. There were movements in the home, the work force, the music industry, and we cannot forget the situation in Vietnam. The world was changing and the decade of the 1960's went from Tupperware parties to hippie sit ins. The 1960's was a smorgasbord of everything a human being could desire, hope, or wish for. It was a decade teeming of hope and positive change.<br />
<br />
For my eighth wedding anniversary (August 20th), my husband asked me where I wanted to have dinner. He knows though after all this time that my favorite food by far is Caribbean Latin cuisine. Aka-Puerto Rican, Dominican, or Cuban food. So we decided to go to this fabulous restaurant called <a href="http://havanacentral2.reachlocal.net/">Havana Central </a>which we have been eyeing for some time.<br />
<br />
We grabbed the kiddies and we went. The food was outstanding and afterwards we went to our trusty Barnes and Noble and sought out some good reads for us and the kids. It was a wonderful night spent together and I still cannot believe it has been eight years already-gah!<br />
<br />
Before I dashed out for my date night with the family, I dolled up 1960's style for the very first time on my own. Last two times I dressed 1960's was for photo shoots <a href="http://www.bunnysvictory.com/2012/09/bunny-at-1960-world-fair.html">here</a> and <a href="http://www.bunnysvictory.com/2013/08/my-ode-to-doctor-who.html">here</a>.<br />
<br />
I found this amazing pink early 1960's dress from one of my favorite vintage Etsy shops called <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/HolliePoint">Hollie Point Vintage</a>. It's hard for me to find late 1950's/early 1960's dresses in my size but this shop has had a few. Of course they reside with me now hehe<br />
<br />
I paired up my 1960's dress with some Moonglow bracelets from my collection (I will be posting about them soon), a simple black purse and round black clip on earrings. To finish the look I used a hair tool called a <a href="http://www.blogger.com/%3Ca%20href=%22http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002BABHZE/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B002BABHZE&linkCode=as2&tag=bunsvic-20%22%3EAllstar%20BIO21712%20Bumpits%20Hair%20Volumizing%20Inserts-%20Dark%20Brown/Black%3C/a%3E%3Cimg%20src=%22http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=bunsvic-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B002BABHZE%22%20width=%221%22%20height=%221%22%20border=%220%22%20alt=%22%22%20style=%22border:none%20!important;%20margin:0px%20!important;%22%20/%3E">Bumpit</a> to add some lift to my hair. If you are interested in learning how to use it, let me know and I would be happy to do a post on it.<br />
<br />
Silly me washed my hair the day of so I had some frizz to deal with but overall my hair came out pretty okay for a first timer. I used my new MAC products on my face and some black liner on my eyes. I didn't do a cat's eye or add false lashes but I will be doing so in other posts. I just need to practice more-ekkk! My lipstick was a shade of pink called Lolly Popstar from Wet 'n Wild.<br />
<br />
So, what do you think of my look? I feel like the late 1950's/early 1960's looks best on me but of course I still need to practice my hair. Or perhaps get a hair cut to help me get a better shape? Hummm, must ponder all this....<br />

Oh and please excuse the whites and greys in my hair. Once in a while I use semi-hair dye (I didn't do one for this night) but other than that I really do not like dying my hair. Plus I am holding onto my natural hair color as long as I can hehehe<br />
<br />
Now I want to get a hundred dresses like these!! It was SO comfortable and I was able to do my mommy things without feeling constricted. These types of dresses make me feel amazing as well. I just love it.<br />
<br />
What is your favorite fashion look of the 1960's?<br />

A week ago today, my husband and I along with my friend Monica who was visiting from out of state, went on a little adventure to Brooklyn. Our first stop of course had to be Coney Island!<br />
<br />
Coney Island has been a summertime hot spot for New Yorkers for many years. It's most popular time was pre-WWII, afterwards there was a decline but thanks to the many investments and renovations, it is slowly becoming what it once was.<br />
<br />
Still, when you hear the words Coney Island, even non-New Yorkers know where and what it is. It is a place full of rides, food, and sideshows-as well as, a gorgeous boardwalk and beach. Just a perfect place to go to if you want to have some good ole fashion fun-in-the-sun.<br />
<br />
For our day out in Coney Island, I decided to go with a colorful but classic dress. I wore a 1950's dress purchased on Etsy by <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/littlestarsvintage">littlestarsvintage</a>. I wore some flowers in my hair purchased at <a href="http://www.claires.com/store/us/">Claire's</a>, a brooch purchased while in <a href="http://www.bunnysvictory.com/2013/04/being-vintagey-in-missouri-day-one.html">Missouri</a>, and some of my moonglow bracelets. Nothing fancy, but pretty and comfortable-which is the way I like to roll.<br />

<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nathan%27s_Famous">Nathan's Famous</a> opened in Coney Island in 1916 and quickly became a landmark. They started a hot dog eating contest in their first year and it is still a popular event today!<br />

<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wonder_Wheel">The Wonder Wheel</a> is a sight to behold.

I have never been on the Wonder Wheel but I did ride <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coney_Island_Cyclone">the Cyclone</a> many moons ago. It was my attempt to rid myself of my fear of heights. Um, yeah...it just increased it. The Cyclone opened in 1927 and it is a wooden roller coaster. I promise you will know the difference between this roller coaster and the ones of today if you ever ride in it. Whoa. Let's just say that. In 1988 it was declared a landmark.<br />

The last part of our adventures took us to a place I never thought I would go. I am fascinated by the history of sideshows and one of my favorite films is <a href="http://www.bunnysvictory.com/2011/07/weekend-cinema-spotlight-freaks.html">Freaks</a>, but I never thought I would actually go to a modern version of a sideshow. I must admit the show was very entertaining.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.coneyisland.com/programs/coney-island-circus-sideshow">Coney Island USA</a> was established to continue the tradition of performance art, sideshow acts, vaudeville, etc. Although in the past people who performed in sideshows were born deformed or disabled-I would say the majority had no other choice but to perform in sideshows as the world wasn't as accepting of those who were "different". Of course, you also had many who were taught and trained in a specific act to perform.<br />
<br />
In today's standards, these types of shows aren't seen as politically correct but like I said before, it really was an enjoyable show.<br />

The best part of the show was the performance by <a href="http://www.coneyisland.com/coney-island-circus-sideshow/cast/ray-valenz">Ray Valenz</a> who was the MC as well as a performer in the show. We saw performers throwing fire, putting nails in their noses, and dancing with snakes.<br />
<br />
I surprisingly found myself very emotional after the show because as a person with a disability and knowing the history of this type of performance, I suppose it hit me in a soft place. I was happy to be able to thank some of the performers even though they didn't understand why I would be emotional. I am still surprised I was....such a mushy girl I am.<br />

It was a wonderful weekend spent with a sweet friend and an adventure to remember in Coney Island. If you are ever in New York, this is defiantly a special place you should go to. Lots of history, lots of fun things to do, and lots of colorful characters around.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07399307155035285501noreply@blogger.com11
