Being Vintagey in Missouri: Day One

On Sunday evening I returned home from a four day trip visiting Brittany from Va-Voom Vintage. Omg! That was a huge secret to keep from you all but I wanted it to be a surprise. So.... SURPRISE!!!!! hehe I flew in on Thursday morning and my first day with Brittany was spent shopping at two fabulous thrift stores, getting my hair cut by Nikki, and ending the evening with some Mexican food!
I started my day eating lunch with Brittany and her children at my favorite eatery in St. Charles called Magpies. The melted Bree cheese with fruit was heavenly! One must eat well before one shops til they drop!
These are some of my goodies from the thrift stores. The dresses were four dollars each and the skirts were three dollars. The scarves were about one to two dollars as were the bracelets (sold in packs).
 My dress was purchased on Etsy from a seller who had owned this handmade dress. It was made from a 1942 pattern, is a rustic red color with little ladybugs on it. Super cute and super comfy!
Ohhh this was my yummy Mexican food-totally stuffed my face hehe This truly was a perfect first day! We didn't over do it and we got a lot done! That night we prepared for our photo shoot with Photography by Monica Moore. Tune in tomorrow for a sneak peak on our shoot! We did four decades in five hours! It was a blast!

How was your week been so far? Anything fabulous and vintagey happen for you?

    2. If you're gonna dream, dream big - I always say. =) I think a Vintage Festival would be awesome! And even better if its somewhere on the Eastern side of the states so it would be easier for me to attend! lol

    1. Thank you sweets! So Nikki basically gave my hair more of a 40s shape at the back-it didn't have a good shape and setting just wouldn't look good. Going to try a set with my "new' hair this weekend-will take pics!! xox
