Vintage D&B Dream

With the exception of a change of cardigans I totally wore this over to Lara’s house last night. That’s just how I roll. We sat around talking and setting up trackers (HERE IS MY STEALTH COUNTER!) on our blogs. And making fun of the boys, who were in the other room. But only a little bit.

This shirt is so ridiculously soft. Alternative Apparel may win my love over American Apparel if they put out a Deep V.





So this bag is kind of a big deal.



When I was a kid the fad was Liz Claiborne, which we could afford, and then Dooney and Bourke, which we could not (I totally have my mom’s back on this, $250 is a bit much for a handbag when you are 15). I was pretty interested in handbags even at 15, and I spent a lot of time trying to think of a way I could afford one. It never happened. Then last year, I tried searching for one on eBay. I bid and bid and bid, but never could win. The bids always went way above my price range. Then last week we were talking handbags at work (surprise surprise, I was talking handbags) and I mentioned that I was jealous of a certain co-workers vintage D&B. WELL. Another co-worker, we shall call her my Fairy Godmother (even though she is far to young to be a Godmother) piped in and said SHE had a vintage D&B and I could HAVE it. !!! I was so excited. Then, when she brought it in, not only was it in fabulous condition, it was the EXACT BAG I had been bidding on and losing at eBay. So needless to say, I love it. I took it straight home last night and wiped it down with leather oil and ~*love*~ .



Love these shoes. At first I was not sure what I would wear a yellow leather loafer with, as I’m not really a loafer kind of girl, but I find a LOT of things to wear them with, and the leather is like butter. And they look super expensive, but were only 30 USD.



Lara at FASHIONate made this lovely necklace for me after I commented that I loved her red one. It’s made of buttons, but it doesn’t look super “crafty”, just classic casual. I really love it.
