i heart vintage perfume ads

Vintage perfume ads are just so glamorous... So dreamy, so romantic, so ethereal...

I don't wear perfume these days, just my favorite scented lotions from Bath & Body Works (I stocked up on them before leaving the U.S.). But I still like to catch a whiff of some tantalizingly feminine perfume, and I certainly enjoy looking at beautiful vintage ads like these. (I've also shown vintage cosmetics ads, as you may have noticed--as they are just as pretty!)

short and sweet

Shorts are something that I have not worn in years--and I do mean years!--but I'm inspired to try wearing them again. Now that I'm living in a warm climate, I'm realizing that my wardrobe needs are changing, which means finding new ways to look and feel cool. So I've been searching for inspiration, and finding lots of cute ways to wear shorts. I'm loving shorts with blouses, scarves, tanks, belts, jackets, long necklaces, and pretty embellishments. Short and sweet is the look I'm going for.
