Pretty Dress Update and thoughts

It has been a little tricky recently for me to be motivated about posting vintage to my shop.I have SO many dresses and oodles of funky purses and shoes... just little time to take Z photos
....and lack of a model. Yet here they are regardless.
APPLESEED VINTAGE

I really appreciate seeing photos of the clothing on a model when I purchase online, so you can really understand the style and fit. I try my hardest to post pictures of clothing being modeled. This happens to be my newest model Lily.

Ok, so she is my little sister but you would not believe how many photos I had to take just to get 5 decent ones. I swear she was twirling around in the dresses like a little girl playing dress up...and then she attempted to take some to wear that night. ha you gotta love her though.. full of energy.

I cannot wait until I move and get everything organized so I can post on a regular schedule.
I hope everyone is having a splendid Tuesday.
It is very hot here in Tuscaloosa, so I am staying inside writing letters and getting packages together for my new pin pals.

Sneak Peak - Nectar Vintage

Here is a little sneak peak at this week's updates. This week, my friend Rachael Roberts photographed clothing for Nectar Vintage. Erin Brooks was the new model. It was so much fun, and sweating hott! Everything pictured below (except for the model of course!) will be available for purchase at Nectar Vintage by the end of this week. You can check out some more of Rachael Robert's photography (portfolio) here, also at her blog Rachaelnroberts Photography. Can't wait to do it again! Thanks Erin and Rach.

Sizzlin Summer- A few of my favorites.

It is getting super hot here in Tuscaloosa. Fashion is quickly thrown out of the window for the best way to keep cool. Yeah, it would be nice to wear one of my hundreds of floral scarfs around my neck to look extra pretty, or those ankle boots that lace up, but its just not practical. So, I have been searching all over the place for some new summer outfits and swimsuits. I am usually a very loyal thrift shopper and find it hard to spend over $5 for a shirt or skirt. I guess you could say the thrift store has spoiled me in a way. Its pretty funny, I actually can not remember the last time I went into a large shopping center, unless of course I needed new bras and undies. My friends are always amazed that almost everything I own comes from the thrift store. Anyway, long story short there are a few items I have been eying, I am just waiting for the perfect occasion to purchase them. Graduation present for myself maybe?

Summer Specials

Since my semester classes are coming to an end, I have started a summer TO DO list in order to fill my wonderful spare time. Well, almost spare time, I will be taking a few summer courses.
I am sure I will add plenty to the list as I think of them, but these were the first that come to mind.

There are so many craft projects I want to finish over the summer. Maybe I should make a separate list just for craft ideas. I am so excited to almost be finished with school. I can just create and thrift all summer long.

I love these retro hoodies from BeWakeful. She is truly talented in her sewing ability. I was thinking or trying to piece together something like this more my sis, but she may just get one of the originals.
