What I'm Loving Wednesday

1. The Dark Knight Rises. I saw this movie a couple of nights ago and loved it! It was everything I'd hoped for. Plus I have a gigantic crush on Joseph Gordon-Levitt and I thought he did an excellent job. The ending left it open for a possible sequel and I hope there's going to be one!



2. American Rose. I bought this book last week and like it so far! It's all about burlesque entertainer Gypsy Rose Lee.



3. 2012 Olympics! My favorite event is gymnastics. I was so happy when the U.S. won the team competition!


4. The Amazing Spider-Man Pullover. Okay I saw this in Forever 21 yesterday as I was walking out and had to have it! I love Marvel and Spider-Man is one of my favorites!


5. Blue Diamond Almond Coconut Milk. I don't really consume a whole lot of dairy so I usually drink almond milk but I saw this at the store and it intrigued me. It's so delicious! To me it tastes like an Almond Joy minus the chocolate haha.


6. The Balm Nude Tude Palette. I've been wanting this eye shadow palette for quite some time. Hautelook had a 50% off sale on The Balm products a few weeks back so I snatched one up! The packaging is darling and the colors are nice and pigmented. I don't wear too many bright colors so this palette is perfect for me!


7. Mario Badescu Drying Lotion. I do get the occasional breakout and this stuff works wonders! You apply it at night. Just take a q-tip and dip it in the solution and dab it on any blemishes you may have. By the morning the blemish reduces in size greatly! I've been a fan of Mario Badescu products for a few years now and think they are wonderful.

What I'm Loving Wednesday

1. This lovely photo of a women from the 40's. I believe this was taken in Hollywood. I think her dress is just gorgeous!




2. The Amazing Spider-Man. I finally got to see it a couple nights ago and thought it was great! I'm a bit of a Marvel lover.




3. Gilded Lily Beauty. I'm so glad I discovered this shop on Etsy! Candace makes soaps and lotions inspired by the 1920's and 1930's. I'm actually going to be posting a review on a couple of her products next week! :)




4. The Lily Dress in Tipsy Elephant Print from Golightly. I had some store credit over at PinupGIrlClothing.com and decided to use some if it on this dress! It's such an adorable print and perfect for summer! It's also a great length on me. I'm only 5'2" and love when I don't have to get things hemmed haha.




5. I've been on a Helen Forrest kick this week. Such a beautiful voice!




6. Bakelite bangles. Oh how I would love some Bakelite bangles! I'm on the hunt for some that are reasonably priced but no luck yet. I might have to resort to purchasing online but I'm on the fence about it.




7. NAPCO head vases. I have always thought these were darling! I'd like to find one to put on my vanity.

What I'm Loving Wednesday

1. Nick Waterhouse..such great music!




2. This LC Lauren Conrad Pintuck Crochet Dress. I tried it on at Kohl's and had to have it! The color is a lovely coral and the fit is very flattering. There is also a crochet back not seen in this picture but trust me it's so pretty!




3. Land Girls. I was browsing through Netflix the other night and saw they had added it. I'm addicted to BBC dramas and mini-series so I started watching it immediately and was sucked in! It's about the lives of four girls in the Women's Land Army during World War 2.




4. These Emerald City Sandals from PLASTICLAND! I need to own these sooner than later.




5. My new Martha Stewart cast iron casserole. This may sound silly to some of you but I love to cook and I've been dying for a cast iron casserole! It was on sale last week so we bought one in the orange color and it's beautiful!




6. Josie Maran Argan Oil. I received a deluxe sample size from Sephora and have been using it as my evening moisturizer. I was skeptical as first because I do have oily skin but it doesn't make me feel greasy and my skin feels so soft in the morning!




7. I love this picture of an art deco inspired bathroom!

What I'm Loving Wednesday

1. I love Once Upon A Time! I was pretty much glued to Hulu catching up on all the episodes that I missed. I'm a sucker for anything that has to do with fairy tales.



2. We Bought A Zoo soundtrack. Jónsi, the lead singer of Sigur Rós, composed the whole musical score and it's pretty much amazing.




3. Hello Kitty Avengers cupcakes! Aren't they adorable?!




4. Perks of Being a Wallflower. I finally read this book after having it on my reading list for what seems like forever! It was a great read and I finished it in a day.



5. Banana Cuppa Chocolate Tea. It's by the Rupublic of Tea company and it's so delicious! I've been eating healthier and cutting processed sugar out of my diet so this is really good when I have a craving for something sweet!



6. R2-D2 spatula! I couldn't resist buying this the other day.



7. I love this Dress from eShakti! http://www.eshakti.com/Product/CL0023933/Tulle-LBD-dress

What I'm Loving Wednesday

1. Orly nail polish in Cotton Candy. I've been looking for a nice pastel pink color and saw this at Sally Beauty Supply yesterday. So naturally I picked it up!




2. This vintage 1960's dress I won on Ebay! It's amazing and I don't even have to get it hemmed which makes me love it even more!




3. Scarlett Johansson on the Cover of Vogue. I absolutely love Scarlett Johansson and the photo spread in this magazine! It was very much inspired by the "Bringing Up Baby" film starring Katherine Hepburn and Cary Grant.










4. Midnight in Paris. I came across this movie on Cinemax while I was trying to find something to watch on tv. I'm glad I did because I ended up really liking it! I can totally relate to Owen Wilson's character wanting to live in a different time except I would pick the 1930's or 40's instead of the 20's. I definitely recommend watching this if you ever get the chance.




5. Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream. I've been wanting to try this product for quite some time and finally bought a tube at Marshalls for only $7.99. I really love it! It's great for the cuticles, feet, sunburn, eyebrows, chapped lips, dry skin...I could go on and on. It was created in 1930 and is still around today so it must be doing something right!




6. This "The Best of Bette Davis" video! I mean who doesn't love Bette Davis?

What I'm Loving Wednesday

This is a new feature I'll be doing! It's basically going to be a list of all the things I've been enjoying for the past week and want to share with you all. Hope you enjoy! :)



1. All of the old movies they've been adding to Netflix! I'm seriously in heaven you guys. I went nuts the other night adding so many to my queue haha.



2. The Lana dress from Pinup Girl Clothing. I've definitely added this dress to my wishlist! I absolutely love the pattern and the structure of the dress. Flattering on all body types!



3. This picture of vintage hair! It's so interesting to see how different the hair looks on the back of each girl's head.



4. Maibell and the Misfires. I wish I would have discovered this album a lot sooner! I was browsing Spotify and luckily found this gem. If you are into rockabilly music then I'm sure you will enjoy this!



5. This still of Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling from Gangster Squad. The film doesn't come out until this summer but it looks promising. Besides, I love Emma Stone and who doesn't love Ryan Gosling in a suit??



6. The Avengers! I'm a big Marvel fan so I was really excited for this movie to come out. I finally saw it over the weekend and loved it!
