Today I just have these wise words from an old song to share with you. 

I know that it would definitely do me a lot of good to keep them in mind.

Lady Grey Vintage Summer 2012

As always this is quite late, but here it is - the Summer 2012 lookbook for my newly rechristened shop, Lady Grey Vintage! 

I've listed quite a few new items recently and I've got about a million more waiting, so check it out and stay tuned. And welcome to the world, Lady Grey!

You can find each of the items featured below:

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

Excuses, excuses.

 

 So I feel like I usually start my posts out by talking about what a terrible blogger I am and how busy I've been lately...and I'm going to continue that tradition this time, too! 

First off, I got my first "real" job! I'm working at a beautiful little consignment shop in my town run by the most amazing woman. I've only gone to two  days of training so far, but I can already tell that I'm going to love it! I've gotten to meet some amazing women, I'll be working with clothing, which I (obviously) love; I even get to do window displays! I feel so lucky to have had such wonderful luck with a first job.

Next, on the 18th of last month, Josh and two of our best friends went on a two week long road trip to Northern California on our own, and let me tell you...it was amazing! I don't think I can give it justice in this little paragraph, but I took about a billion pictures, so I was thinking I would do several posts dedicated to it if that wouldn't bother you folks. We saw so many beautiful things, and I would really love to share them.

I got back on Monday, and since then it's been pretty nonstop. My graduation party is tomorrow evening, and we've been baking and cleaning and setting up like crazy! Seriously. My mom and I made something like 220 cake pops in the last two days, and I'm exhausted. The party is going to have an old time circus/carnival theme, so we're having things like corn dogs, soft pretzels, and tons of different kinds of sweets. It's basically a little kids' dream! I'm just a bit worried about talking to all the people my parents have invited that I don't even know. I'm sure it'll turn out fine, but I just hope my shyness doesn't get the better of me. Wish me luck?

I know I also say this all the time, but you should be seeing me around the blogosphere much more soon!

 

Love you guys,

Victoria

Hi there. Remember me?

 

 

Hey everyone!

So I think it goes without saying that I've been absent from the blogging world for quite some time now. Between school, friends, family, birthdays, graduation, laziness, and just about everything else, I haven't have a whole lot of time or willpower to post much. But as it is now officially summer (!), you'll be seeing a lot more of me! I've missed blogging a lot. 

The lovely people at Sugarlips Apparel contacted me a while ago asking if I would be interested in working with them, and I thought it would be a wonderful opportunity so I (obviously) said yes! I had such a hard time choosing, but I finally picked the "Let's Rendezvous" dress. It has such a wonderful summer carnival-y feel to it, but I still feel like I'll be able to wear it when it gets cold again. Not to mention it's super comfortable!

It's getting pretty late now, so I'd better get going to bed, but I just wanted you all to know how grateful I am to have you, and how excited I am to start interacting with all of you more again. Seriously. 

Love you, 

Vic
