Tales of Endearment

I've been a big fan of Natalie's blog, Tales of Endearment for a while now and was so flattered when she told me she was coming to LA and would love to check out my own vintage collection and play dress up at neighborhood vintage shops! We headed to Golyester and The Way We Wore for the afternoon and had tons of fun!
Wearing a vintage Dior dress (that I dream of every night), straw hat, and belt from The Way Wore
Quirky cherry shoes... they even have cherries inside the heel!
Running around in a tiered floor-length skirt, sequined crop top, the best earrings ever, and a diamante box bag. 

You can see the rest of the post on talesofendearment.com!
