Spring Forward

The snow has melted and Spring has come, albeit the weather's still a bit chilly. But the Spring weather, both rain and sun, put me in a far better mood yesterday, and the shopping that I did didn't hurt that!

Favorite stop? Street Scene, of course! Vintage heaven.
Here are a few of my lovely new (to me) purchases:


(Okay, this first one's a lie. I bought it at Goodwill awhile ago and haven't had a chance to wear it yet. I'm thinking leotard, character shoes, bowtie, top hat and cane for some Fred Astaire or Liza Minelli flair. Am I right?)


Simple but darling with those flags.


Square dancing skirt!


Gorgeous strapless maxi dress.



This one doesn't look like much but it has a low back making it fairly elegant and sweet. Plus only $5.
Not bad at all.



Again, this doesn't look like much on the hanger but it's adorable on! Very Spring.


This skirt just really makes me miss Hawaii.



Probably my favorite purchase. It's an old bathing suit! Not that I'll wear it to go swimming now, but it could be a gorgeous cover-up for my actual swimsuit, just belt it and go!


Too big for my wrist so I wear it on the bicep area and feel like Cleopatra. If only I'd dyed my hair black yesterday when I had the chance. Sigh...



The skirt I have on. Taking pictures solo + no tripod = no picture of the full skirt. It's just a breezy high-waisted floral piece. A little too Spring perhaps for how cold the wind is out there!

Spring Break is coming to a close, sadly. I feel as though I've wasted it, but what can I do. Back to school for another 8 weeks. Oh goddess, how will I survive? But perhaps there will be some antics for this blog...

Others said it must have been the weather...

Today it snowed. 


Making it a perfect day for taking pictures...








...fostering puppies...



...and dancing to the music on Pandora.






There's also been quite a lot of thinking and daydreaming going on. Enough to ramble for a few more posts.

Onwards to the rambling!



In This Very Strange World

I've been gone. Apologies for that.

Stealing some inspiration from the lovely Anna Lee at thesquirrelnextdoor.blogspot.com/ and having a Music Monday of sorts. I've been listening to Pandora quite a bit the past few days to save myself from my incredibly boring Spring Break, hence why I'm finally posting.

Anyhow, a song that keeps popping up and that I adore is "New Soul" by Yael Naim. Simple, peaceful and truthful.


More Spring Break posting in a bit, but just wanted to share this lovely song while it's on my mind.
