Anything but study.

I only have one more final and it just so happens to be in Chemistry. ew. My brain is over school. It's over Chemistry, so I have been doing anything and everything but studying. 

I figure if I don't know it by now, I'm not going to learn it. Great thinking, right?

Therefore, I've started new projects and they make me smile so I thought I'd share them with you!

It is kinda hard to take pictures of vintage clothing when you have to be the model and the photographer. And, I don't want to keep bugging people aka, my Mom, to take pictures for me. So, I decided to make my own dress form to be the model. I don't have the $350.00 and upwards to buy the one I want for the shop so I figured I'd spend $6 on duct tape and coerce my mom into wrapping me up in it. The effect was this after stuffing it and covering the holes with cardboard.


It didn't really work all too great for pictures. The duct tape flashes and etc. So I decided to take a gold sheet and sew a cover for it. In the end, this is how it turned out. 


I've got to do something the the bottom, but when clothes and dresses are on it, you can't see it so it's not an issue right now haha. After I got the form all worked out I decided the wall wasn't working. The lighting was different in like every picture it looked like the wall was different colors. So I took a white curtain and hung it on a rod behind the dress form. 


We'll see if it helps for the shop!

What do you think? Does it look somewhat like this?

grad school?

Guess who got into Grad School!!...



that'd be me. YAY!


So my first 4 years of college, sitting in class, wasn't a complete waste of time ;)

I will be officially attending Georgia Health and Sciences University, aka Medical College of Georgia, come August for 16 months to earn a Master's of Science in Nursing with a Clinical Nurse Leader specialty. Hopefully the program will be all it's cracked up to be. 

I haven't decided about whether I will be moving back to Athens just yet, so for now I'm just pumped about Nursing School.

...If only I could just live off selling vintage clothes for the rest of my adulthood. However, I am a bit spoiled and know that nursing would allow me a little more freedom to shop, travel, have lots and lots of babies, etc... I can always do the vintage stuff on the side for fun.

Style 19. Braid on Braid Pigtails.

I usually NEVER wear pigtails. For some reason, it's just not my thing. They make me feel like a 2-year old...but I never even wore them as a 2-year old. BUT, I wanted to do something different, so I went for it and gussied it up a bit by doing braided pigtails with an inner braid in them. 


I have my Chem Lab final tonight! ewww. just saying. Wish me luck!!

Giveaway is over tomorrow, hit 'follow my blog' up at the top left to enter!

Style 17. Twisted Tiara.


This one is super similar to yesterday's style, but I like it. It's a little different and not just your typical 'pin back the bangs' look.
