Friday's Finds

This Friday's Favorites may have turned into a Saturday afternoon favorites due to a slight mix up of scheduling, but all the same it's still favorites found prior to Friday! 

I actually stumbled across Stephanie Buscema's etsy shop ages ago. Her retro pin up type of art style is one of my favorites and I cannot wait for the day I'll be able to purchase one. She also carries many items she puts her prints on this tote being one of them of course. In my opinion there is nothing better than a retro inspired girl gang and is definitely something to invest in. This great tote and the rest of her great things can be found here!

If you have ever met me then you know I am not quiet about my love for all things Disney. In fact I'll be heading to Disneyland again this October! Before I go though I need to get this pin. Peter Pan, though problematic in many areas, has always been one of my favorite Disney films. This pin by Studio Grason captures the movie so well and is just plain adorable.

I can never resist adding some gorgeous vintages dresses to this list of lovely things. As I continue to look for and become better at recognizing good quality vintage I always end back up at Two Old Beans' Etsy shop. These two women find some of the best vintage clothes and I am constantly falling in love with a new piece of theirs. As you can tell I couldn't narrow it down to one dress for this post! The first is a photo of their Coquette Dress. It's such a cute summery dress from the 50's. Throw on some red lipstick, a hat, and you'll stun. The second is the One Chance Dress and I am in love with the cape it comes with. It's what makes it so unique. Honestly, I'm dying to own and wear this dress every single day. You can browse through all of Two Old Beans' dresses here!

Outfit Post: Salt Lake Strolls

Despite living here for the past three years I have yet to see most of Salt Lake. This was the first time I went and took a walk around the capital building we have! I’m sad I had not gone before this spur of the moment trip because it’s a lovely little place. 

There are tree-lined gravel paths all around the building along with benches that are just perfect to bring a book to sit and read for a few hours. I must keep walking around the city to find these small gems because I know they’re everywhere.

I suppose prior I wasn’t looking in the right places…though I imagine it helps when your boyfriend knows of quite a few. 

Taking a change of course, but I have to bring up my new hat. For the past couple of years I’ve been looking for a good boater hat. Ever since I saw Rebecca of A Clothes Horse sport one I knew I had to have one. I was in complete love. I never could find the perfect one. When I hunted for boaters they always were either too large or simply not there.

Finally, with I’ll admit some help, I was able to score one for pretty cheap! H&M had this one for only $15 and it does actually fit! I’ve always had a problem with hats because I have a child sized head, but miraculously this boater does the trick and comes in a larger size too.

As soon as I got my hands on it I had to wear it immediately which is where this summer    

gondolier-esq outfit came from. It’s a fun summer item to have and for me was perfect for a slow stroll.

Have any of you found any cute parts of your city that you’ve stumbled across or things you've been searching for as of late?

P.S.

As Clark and I walked back home from the Capital we came across the sweetest little cat named Max. This fellow was just a cute little model. I adore him and just had to include the photos of him that Clark snapped.
