Today was a vintage day.








I felt like forties. Shoes, hair, clothes, makeup, the works- all tied up with an adorable, floppy white bow.

Ashley was the twenties, complete with pin curls, a bob, and doey eyes.






I have also found a new love. It's called dailybooth, a website that allows me to share my life through pictures. I love and adore it, for as I always say, if you didn't take a picture, it never happened.
