The Vintage Lilly Project

I am in quite the predicament!  Since purchasing my vintage "The Lilly" dress over the summer I have spent hours searching for information on it.  This dress seems so unique, and with its fairly calm coloring, lack of lace, and woven upper it is very unlike the Lilly Pulitzer we are all used to seeing today. And so I am officially launching The Vintage Lilly Project in an effort to not only learn more about this dress, but to also learn more about Lilly Pulitzer's early dressmaking history! I am pleading with all of you- please please please do whatever you can to help me in my pursuit of this knowledge.  If you find anything pertaining to this, or other dresses similar to it please comment on this post.

Oh How Charming!

Hey guys, sorry it's been a while- exam season and all.  But here is a post about two things I LOVE!  A- My Juicy Couture Charm Bracelet, and B- My Pandora Charm Bracelet.  With Christmas coming up, I really want some new charms for each bracelet so just for the fun of it I think I will post the beautiful new (and old) charms I find my self drawn to :) And if the urge strikes any of you to gift me with a beautiful new charm, DO NOT RESIST <3

1. Kangaroo Charm a la Juicy Couture
2. Juicy Couture Bengal Tiger Charm- They're only available on ebay, but as a Bengal myself I really want this charm so I can represent!
3. Juicy Couture Pink Football Helmet Charm.  Again this one is vintage (as in 2009 :P) and I'm totally in love with it.  However it came out before I bought my bracelet and I've always kicked myself for not buying it when I had the chance.
4. Pandora Sterling Silver Snake Charm.  For some reason I am just really drawn to this cute little snake charm <3
5.  Pandora Sterling Silver Football Charm!!!
... And thus ends my lovely post on charms and charm bracelets.  Tell me which one you like best, and I'll buy it for myself :)  Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
