Sunday Shout-Out! – AmandaJoCrafts

I'm starting a weekly post called "Sunday Shout-Out!" as a way to thank the wonderful people who actively support my blog. It isn't really a feature, just a tip of my hat to some great new friends. The posts won't be in any specific order or rank or anything like that, so don't feel left out if you don't see yourself yet. You will definitely be shouted at soon! ;-)

Feature Friday – Bow + Arrow Apparel

I. Want. These. Jeans.

dark wash custom made skinny jean with high waist american made

That is what my brain punched me in the eyeballs with when I stumbled onto Bow + Arrow Apparel's collection. And it wasn't just one pair. As I clicked on pic after pic, I realized, "I. Want. All. These. Jeans." I would feel like Hottie McHotterton in a pair of these.

I really prefer the high rise on the waist so that I'm not constantly checking to see whether I'm spilling over onto the sidewalk below. Usually, only the "mom jean" will have a higher waist and occasionally I will find a pair of vintage jeans too, but rarely in my size. These are CLEARLY not "mom jeans" and they are custom made for you! Win-win my pantless friends!

Thursday Thrill – Beach Bombshell

Vintage shorts romper with apple print for women in red, blue, and whitebamboo 1950s sunglasses for women 

I'm not messin' around with this Thursday Thrill stuff. Thrills are what this week's finds are all about! A retro romper, cherry red hair pins, and vintage espadrilles, oh my! Makes me sad to see summer end!

This early 1960's play romper is soooo fun! Shaped for curves and sass with a novelty apple print. Of course, not many of us have vibrant red bouffant hair, so I thought adding a few cherry colored vintage hair pins would be an adorable (and easy) way to accessorize. I just listed these little firecrackers last week!
