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!

on the verge of passing out

Thanks to Topshop's facebook page I just died a little, some of the pieces Ms. Audrey Hepburn has worn are being auctioned off over three days in December. I know everyone loves Ms. Hepburn and would die for these clothes, which is why I'm about to hyperventilate!!!! You can see all of her clothes and accessories being auctioned off, as well as vintage Chanel bags, shoes, and other designer dresses/clothing. I'M DYING! Take a LOOK!

Give me An Education!

I'm shaking with anticipation to see An Education Thursday for my one year anniversary with my boyfriend, I fell in love the minute I found out it took place in London during the 1960's, it was plus for me to find out it was a love story of a teenage girl (played by Carey Mulligan, who reminds me of Audrey Hepburn and Zooey Deschanel) and an older man (Peter Sarsgaard). The costumes are simply amazing, take a look.

I'm sure it's as amazing as I'm hoping, I'll let you all know!

Oh Audrey

I have been using most of my time in the past week to research everything and anything about the wonderful Ms. Audrey Hepburn. I have always been interested in learning about her but never had the time, and never had her movies on hand. Recently for my 19th birthday I got a box set with three of her many movies she stared in, the classic Breakfast At Tiffany's also Roman Holiday and Sabrina. I've have fallen in love with her classic and classy looks.

I hope all you bloggers will go out and rent ALL of her movies even the ones I have yet to see and get some inspiration for yourself, for now here is some of my favorite photos.

Beautiful hair, make up and clothes. Classy Sassy.
