Three Posts in One Day?

Can it be true? Well, I just updated my feed to just publish a shortened version to your RSS Reader, so I wanted to test it out and see if it worked! Also, while I was at it I thought I would give ya'll a little peek at what I put up in the shop today. It is GVV's first foray into accessories, and there are more to come, even for the menfolk!




Click here to check them out! Tomorrow I'm going to add a few more accessories and maybe even go thrifting! Yay!

Canoing!

I love canoing and I love living in Western North Carolina because there are so many awesome places to go so close by. Yesterday we went to the Tuckaseegee and I didn't take too many photos, but I did capture this series of shots that pretty much sums up how awesome the day was!



Sunday...

... just editing some GVV photos and listening to Wait Wait Don't Tell Me. What could be better? Well, maybe yesterday could. I share some of those photos here soon!

8.6.09

For the first part of this week, I have kind of been hanging around the house, and only really getting dressed to go to the gym! I didn't think ya'll necessarily wanted to see that... hence the lack of personal style posts! Last night I met some friends downtown and tried to attempt a remix of my new fav thrift store dress...



Dress: Vintage, thrifted
Belt: Vintage, thrifted
Shoes: 9 west clearance center (only 5 bucks- but they are different sizes! ha!)
Bag: Vintage, gift from my mom

Well, I'm not sure I'm totally sold on this remix. I wanted to wear this dress in a less super sweet kind of way, but I'm not really sure if I pulled it off! There is something that I don't really like, maybe how all the browns are a different color? Speaking of clothes... these are up in the shop today!

Magenta Dress in a Plus Size- XXL!

Super Cute Plaid Skirt- M or L

Great Off-White dress, perfect for fall (or spring- can't forget my friends south of the Equator)- M, L

Shop Update

Here are a few new items that are up in the shop today that I think are just fabulous! Also, there is a little bonus Petey at the end because, really, he has been absent from this blog for far too long!

This is a great maxi dress that is a size M/L. Check out that pattern!


This is a classic, cool and clean 70s day dress. M/L


Teal day dress in XL to XXL!

This week Petey got a bath. This turns him into a thing possessed!

Here is his innocent face. What? I didn't do anything!!

MIA

Whoops, sorry I went MIA there for a bit. I think I forgot to mention that I was going to a wedding last weekend! It was totally and utterly amazing, every bit of it and I had the best time EVER! Words can't do it justice, so here are a few pictures!

First off, there was this amazing trolley that delivered us drunkely to every location. Apparently, the open container law doesn't apply to trolleys. Clearly, this was a key ingredient in the recipe of success (disaster?) for last weekend.

First, the trolley delivered us to a farm league baseball game. We hung out in two 2nd floor boxes with a full open bar, delicious food, and an amazing view.

I think you can see proof of the open bar in this photo.

And again in this one. This is also proof of the awesome free merchandise we received from the merchandise store. Can you even believe that hulk hand/coozie?

Then there were fireworks. We also sang "take me out the ball game" on the big screen during the 7th inning stretch, but I forgot to photo document that. Thus ended day one.

Saturday morning we went to Lake Erie. It was lovely.

We lazed around in the sun and recovered from the evening before. Also, it was Shawn's Bday. Happy birthday again, Shawn!!

Can you believe it? All this fun and the wedding hadn't even happened yet!


Here is where the lovely ceremony was held, on the campus of Case Western Reserve University.

Both the church and the flowers were breathtaking! However, they weren't as amazing as this...


Even the bathroom was awesome. Apparently this was an Opera House and is currently the home of a symphony.


It was so amazing that Wren turned into a vampire. Love you, Wren!


The first dance! Congrats Ellen and Jason, I'm so happy for ya'll!! This was followed by three hours of booty shaking.


Then, we rode the trolley back to the hotel. The end. Ok, obviously that wasn't actually the end but that was the end of blog-appropriate activities and Glen LaCampeur (my camera) had to go to bed!


Excuse the poor res photos, apparently I have exceeded bloggers limits of awesomeness (or megapixels). We'll be back to the regularly scheduled blogging tomorrow! Also, I wanted to let my readers be the first to know that I'm going to be throwing a lot of time into Green Violet Vintage this week, so expect 2-3 new things to be posted in the shop everyday! I'll try to post little previews here for ya'll, I thrifted about 5 plus size dresses last week so keep your eyes peeled! I was going to show ya'll the one I listed earlier today, but it already sold! Actually, I think I'll show you anyways because I love it so much. Here is the one that got away:
