A day to myself

Today I traveled into New Hope, PA mainly to "go" with my mom to get her tattoo, yes I said her tattoo, my mom got a tattoo today ha! But I really just went for the free ride to New Hope to do some vintage and thrift shopping, and see the gorgeous Delaware River. It was a bit cold but I had a good time going into all the vintage stores by myself and spending as much time as I wanted in each one basically examining everything.

here's some pictures from my day;


my favorite vintage dress shop, which is a little out of my price range had a wreath decorated with Audrey Hepburn pictures! I basically died...

I was sneaky and got a picture of one of the displays in the store, gorgeous - I know.

I went home with a lovely black velvet short cape from my favorite vintage shop Nightbird, I plan on adding a button and chain to it since it comes with nothing to keep it on, I'll show you what it looks like soon!

Also just thought I'd share my excitment about Polaroids coming back into my life soon, they are making new cameras and coming out with more film - YAY. Although I'm not a Lady Gaga fan, so I'm not thrilled she's the new creative director for Polaroid, but whatever gets them going again!
Heres some prototypes for the new cameras
I love the black and wood one, I can't wait!

and last but not least, I finally purchased lipstick yesterday, I feel like an adult in lipstick and never wore it before but I've become sightly in love with it, here's quick pictures I took in my two new shades. My hair color looks horrible with the shades, but I'm dying it back to my real color (dark brown, basically black) (- it's red in these pictures, you can't even tell though) on friday so I should look wonderful when it's done!



tomorrow, Passion Pit in NYC, so excited!

  3. I am SO GLAD they are making polaroid film again...I luckily already own a camera that I inherited, however not being able to use it because of film issues has been a major bummer. Also, vintage shopping alone is SO FUN. I'm jealous of the selection, and I think it's pretty cool your mom got a tattoo ;).

  12. AHHH! I am friggin in love with POLAROID CAMERAS! Are they going to be cheaper because if they are than I can finally get one. Oh and I'm glad I'm not the only one with a family member wanting a tattoo...apparently my grandmother really wants a smiley face tattoo on her butt. Concerned.
