Viva La Vintage

Today on my way back from a trip to Detroit, I've decided to stop by this little shop I've had my eye on for months! Its called V-Male located in Dearborn Heights, MI. I had a blast in this shop and would have bought more if my pocketbook allowed it. Although, I didn't get much I do feel that I got my money's worth. I spent a total of $22 dollars and came out with some great finds. This is a Vintage Haul to show you guys what I got from this fabulous little store!

The first thing I fell in love with was these cute bobby pins with bow decals. And I got them for only $3.

Then I found these anchor earrings with AMAZING detail. Lately, I've been obsessed with anchors (as well as bows) so I just had to have them. They will add a nice touch to any outfit! $6.

 Lastly, I wanted to add a vintage top to my wardrobe so I searched the racks until I found this one. I love the powder blue color and of course the bow! I absolutely love this blouse and can not wait until I add my own flare to it and make the perfect outfit! And it was practically a steal for only $8!!!!

And I can NOT express how much I love the bow detail! It is super girl and will add a unique quality to any outfit.

If you live around this area, I definitely suggest checking out this wonderful shop, I know I'll be paying another visit VERY soon! I also bought two pins at $1 each for my nephew and a vintage manicure set for my sister ($2).

Hook this Hippie Headband

Theses hippie headbands were all the rage a few years back but if your like me you still love to unleash your inner peace lover and rock these headbands. The only downfall to being in love with an older trend is the lack of the product in stores and my dog chewed the others that I had previously owned. I for one wasn't gonna let this keep me from wearing this headband, so my way of thinking is "if you can't find it; make it"! This is a little DIY project so you can sport this free-spirited headband all you want. For this you will need...

A pair of scissors

Some type of string

Assorted beads and charms

 

For this I used three pieces of thinner string. The first step was to decide were i would like the front charms to be placed. Once I found that I added a few of the assorted beads.

 

 Afterwards, I decided that to help the beads  stay in place i would create a small snake braid on each side. 

Then I secured the braids with knots and added various beads at the end of each string (also tying knots to secure the beads).

and

 Finally the headband is complete, all you have to do next is determine the placement on your head and secure the headband with knots. :)

All instructions are optional and I encourage you to be creative with your headband. I know I love having unique things and although this is "out of style" I will still rock it with pride! I hope you also don't let others determine what you believe is cute. Who cares if its "in" right now? As long as you wear it with confidence then you are all set!

Love,

Curse of Curves

Many woman are blessed with full figured bodies. Unfortunately, with the curves comes chafing. This poses a problem for many females while wearing dresses, skirts, or shorts. After playing volleyball for many years and going through the torture of the irritated skin, my sister let me in on a nifty trick that will help sooth and prevent the awful pain. Before going out, take deodorant and apply it to the affected area. I promise you this will prevent the chafing and will feel 100 times better than before.

Love,
