Missouri and Starting Over

I realized that I have not done anything with this blog and am resolved to start blogging with more regularity. I would like to blame it on my travel schedule, but really it is just laziness on my part. I will work to do better. Today, I have finally arrived in Missouri, after a LONG day of flights and driving. I made a point of flying into Nashville, longer drive but cheaper airfare and a vintage store I have been wanting to visit - Venus and Mars. SO worth it! I bought a coat, a cardigan and two dresses. When I finally got to my destination, I realized that I did not bring my camera with me on this trip - I will have to take photos with my phone in the morning and post them. I cannot vouch for the quality of the photos, though in looking at my past photos, I am thinking that the problem lies in the execution, rather than the equipment. Must practice my photography skills or find a willing friend.

Vintage Shopping in Tulsa

I am super excited about my vintage purchases! I went to Silver Screen Vintage and Cheap Thrills Vintage, both in Tulsa. The photo above - 3 petticoats (navy and white lace from Silver Screen Vintage, white with flower botton from Cheap Thrills vintage) and a raincoat (Silver Screen Vintage).
This photo: dress, beaded cardigan and leopard jacket from Cheap Thrills Vintage. See bleowfor close up of jewelery.
Jewelery: bracelets from Cheap Trills Vintage, brooch and rings from Silver Screen Vintage.

The owner ofSilver Screen Vintage is supposed to be in tomorrow - I may go back as there were a bunch of things that had not been priced yet, including a jacket that I heart. I am tempted to go back to Cheap Thrills as well, just in case. I was amazed at how reasonable the vintage is in tulsa. Everything I bought woudl ahve been twice as much where I live.

Tulsa

I have been sent to Tulsa for the week for work. I am excited as I understand that there is good vintage shopping in Tulsa.
This outfit: Dress - Target, shoes - Steve Madden. I am glad tha tI packed dresses as Tulsa is HOT.
This outfit: dress - JCrew, necklace and bracelet - Kate Spade, shoes Jill Stuart. I think this dress makes me look fat.

What I have been wearing

This outfit: skirt and sweater - JCrew, belt - Pixie Market, shoes - Derek Lam. Sorry the photo is so blurry, I don't have a steady hand.

It is much colder wher eI live than it was in Switzerland. All in all, I prefer the colder weather, though it was nice to have sunshine and heat for a few days. I got my hiar cut the afternoon before I left for holiday. It is far shorter than I have had it in a long time. takes some getting used to.
This outfit: jacket - Marc by Marc, skirt - Robert rodriguez, turtleneck - JCrew, shoes - Maxstudio.

Zurich, Switzerland

The last of our trip was spent in Zurich. I was surprised how much I liked Zurich - clean and pretty. All in all, Switzerland was wonderful. The weather was amazing, the scenery beautiful and the people friendly. I would definitely return, though I will have to save my pennies as it is expensive there.

Davos/Guarda, Switzerland

The middle of the trip was spent in Davos and hiking around Guarda. We stayed at the Sheraton in Davos - a lovely hotel with a use of the spa included with the room. It was so nice to relax in the wet and dry saunas and the whirlpool after a long day of walking through alpine meadows. The meadows were breathtaking and ther were ltos of cows wandering about. I love the cows - Swiss cows are FAR happier than their California counterparts.
