I’m so excited. I purchased this inexpensive little made-for-underwater Lomo camera to play with when we are in Hawaii. has anyone tried one of these before? I can’t wait to play around with it. I love $10 plastic cameras to death!
3. This dress. I almost bought it for my ‘someday soonish wedding’, but someone else grabbed it first. I’m sure they will look gorgeous in it & i think i am going to go for something a little bit less fancy anyway. still a dream dress though… totally! 😀
sigh. so pretties. if you are curious, i found it in this Etsy shop. she always has the most beautiful 1950s and 1960s dresses.
4. Jill’s adorable grandpa scarf head warmer tutorial. I want to make one, just need to find the perfect grandpa scarf. :))
5. This amazing mod cabin. In love!
6. shoes……. and most of all really cute ones like these:
7. the beautiful music. i made a teeny-tiny playlist (well, it’s only two songs) of my two favorite songs of this past week. give ’em a listen. 😉 [note: if you are international and you can’t listen to the playlist the songs are Horchata by Vampire Weekend and God Only Knows by The Beach Boys]
8. as if i need another collection (haha), i’d love to collect these:
9. and i am completely crazy about these tights…. does anyone know who makes them? i want some… badly.
10. and last but now least….. this dress from All-Mighty is to die for! CUUUUTE! i wanna adopt a Boston Terrier someday. I think Suki would like that idea. I love ALL flat faced dogs and even flat faced kittens. :))
Lovies!!! 🙂 Elsie

i’ve been feeling the need to collect rotary phones after getting my orange one… http://img691.yfrog.com/i/pqr.jpg/
even set up a land line account for it. my husband is the only one who calls it and i like it that way!
Love your list – as always. Where’s you buy your cheap lomo camera from? My sister wants one and I”d love to surprise her with an inexpensive one to play around with.
🙂
You read Jane Aldridge’s blog too?! Recognized one of her shoe’s picture. Lol She featured a 1950’s prom dress a couple of months ago. I totally loved it and she looked really pretty. Love your ‘someday-soonish wedding dress’ too. lol
thanks for the great links! 🙂 i occasionally find pretty photos on weheartit.com and they don’t always have original links (which is not cool) and so i really appreciate it when you all share them here! YAY.
eeeekkk! i didn’t know those tights came in so many cute colors. i DIE! :)))
Im hoping to use it thursday when we are having a little family picnic at the beach with my gfs sisters and stuff, so if i do, ill let u know how it goes.
fingers crossed it doesnt fill with water or smthing lol
If you like less-than-classical tighs, you will loOove the ones from “les queues de sardines” (the sardines’ tails) : http://www.les-queues-de-sardines.com/
Hey-o Elsie!
Me and my boyfriend went on holiday with a underwater camera, just like you show..
but unfortunately when we wanted to develop the pictures (after 6 months) it were all blanks, so don’t wait to long with it!
I have a pair of tights like those that I got from ASOS.com…It was over a year ago though so I am not sure they still have them! 🙁
I have decided I want a pink house…not sure my boyfriend will be too happy!

I’ve been saying I want to collect rotary phone for years. I’ve just been waiting for a home I like enough to decorate. I am thinking that is soon. Cute list!
I’m French and I love your blog. What a shame I’m so far I can’t visit your shop…
I love your sunday’s lists too. The amazing pink dress today makes me think about the last cupcakes I’ve cooked. They are pink, baked with tea and a delicious rose’ cream.
Sorry, the recipe is in French, I can translate it in English if you want to cook it! (and taste it with champagne!) 🙂
I love your blog, it’s very inspiring, I was wearing the exact shoes with the red hearts on my wedding, not very comfortable but beautiful !! Have a nice Sunday…
I just wanted to let you know that I always read your blog and I really enjoy all the cute stuff you make. I was wondering about the red dress iny our post, since I can’t find it on the link you posted with it (AND I OBVIOUSLY NEED TO HAVE IT).
Can you also please give Suki a really big hug for me? One day I will have my own cute little pug and make it hats as nice as yours… Oh, how I love pugs.
(also, tell your boyfriend he makes beautiful music)
HI Elsie,
Great post-I love all of the colors.
I thought you might like to see a little corner of my home that features your art that I have purchased. Come see my latest post on my blog!
Thanks for making cool, colorful art!
Cheers to you,
Briana http://www.courageouslycreating.blogspot.com
Pretty pretty dress! Your perfect dress is out there waiting for you. It’ll find you when the time is right! 🙂
I’ve seen those tights too, and I think they’re great. They remind me of the tights with tiny hearts that I wore when I was 5 (would LOVE to find that in my size now!) I am definitely going to try the head scarf tutorial! Super cute! Thanks for the inspo!
you definitely need a boston terrier! they go great with pugs and they’re such a riot 😀 i have a 3 year old BT names Beatrix Kiddo 😉 I’ve been thinking about a pug or a french bulldog next…
the photographer is amanda pratt of the photo with the girl with tights…you may be able to find her photography site and contact her to ask about the tights…saw a listing for them on ebay for 15.99 but i’m guessing there is a more wallet friendly version of them…
i bought some tights like those on ebay…search for ‘red heart tights’ mine were from a costume shop online…weren’t great material but they are still awesome!
yeah that is a beautiful pink dress the ruffles sigh!! love the turquise phone I saw a BE-utiful turquise oven at a thrift store the other day and wanted it badly.. have a great sunday..
oh oh oh! the photo of the superamazing wedge heeled sandal with socks… it just did something to me… my heart… i think its broken… because i want to be the foot in that sock in that sandal. i yearn, i pine, i perish!
We purchased an underwater camera from the cruise ship gift shop… I had a very hard time using it…but we went scuba diving and the scuba instructor took some great photos of us with it! (Oh and if you have never been scuba diving- you HAVE to do it!! It is kind of like being a Sea Monkey for a few hours!!)
underwater photos are the best! we swam with the turtles!i have our photos hsnging all over our bathroom:)
we went to hawaii for 2 weeks and just used the disposable underwater cam. still cool but that cam looks RAD!
You can find another dress similar. or design your own:) i love jagged tool! this was my dress. http://www.facebook.com/brandilisenbe?ref=profile#/photo.php?pid=30389381&id=1273798416
the lomo camera didnt work for me :[ as a matter of fact ive gone through two. one stoppped winding and the other had a leak.
i hope you have better luck and if you do please let me know who the seller was. i still want to get some underwater shots. hope you have a blast in Hawaii, my friend says the weather is amazing over there right now!
Emilio Cavallini makes those tights, but there are some cheap versions around too. Look on eBay! I have seen hold-up stockings like that too with red ribbon bows around the top. Very cute! xXx
I love love love 50s/60s dresses in that ballet pink. it reminds me of my senior prom dress! http://www.redboxvintage.com/vault6.html
third one down on the left, the one with satin bows.
and to think…to be married in it! I hope I don’t forget to find a vintage dress when the time comes. 🙂

http://himbeerliebe.wordpress.com/2009/09/08/unter-der-oberflache/
It was a bis fun but you need some clean water. not like in a lake 🙂
