My very first Etsy purchase!

Well I'm still on a bit of a birthday-shopping high (shameful, I know!) So I decided to give Etsy a try.  It's really amazing how much you can find on Etsy, it's like the biggest thrift store ever!

I put in an order with 41stvintage for these two blazers:

I am on a weird over-sized blazer obsession lately.  I also ordered this blazer from ModCloth the other day:

I am not ashamed to admit that part of the reason I bought this blazer is because it's called "Blazer Saddles", and I love the Mel Brooks movie Blazing Saddles!  But the main reason was because it's a Linen blazer and I love Linen, particularly for the summer.

The only blazers I own currently are more form-fitting (though ill-fitting on me) and I just don't like any of them too much.  I have a great brown corduroy one that I bought in Old Navy years ago that I love, but it's a little snug.  I can't wait to get these in the mail, and will post pictures once I get them :)

Got to love birthdays!

Who are some of your favorite sellers on Etsy?  Got any recommendations? Do you love or hate over-sized blazers?

Boo Tech Problems, Yay Birthdays!

Either my cameras have been lost or broken and I haven't been able to make videos, but I'm going start doing some regular blog posts.  More exciting than that though I will soon be the proud owner of an HD video camera!  I'm filming a documentary as my thesis project for school so it seems I will have a legitimate reason to own such a camera.

Yesterday was my birthday so I treated myself to a couple of birthday presents from ModCloth.com.


I'm having some trouble figuring out how to put these pictures in correctly so hopefully you can see them.

The first dress is the Seaside Park Dress which was a very reasonable $24.99.
The second dress is the Blue Sisters Dress at $49.99.
The first shirt was sort of an impulse buy.  At $47.99 it's way more than I would have liked to have spent, but they only had one left and... well it was my birthday dammit!  It's the Oxidized Copper Top.
The second shirt, the As A Cloud Top, was also an impulse buy but the price didn't make me hyperventilate so I'm really pleased about that purchase.
And then there was the 2 accessories, the $19.99 Braid the Storm Belt, and the $14.99 This Land Is Your Land necklace, which I am really excited about.  I have been needing an affordable belt for casual dresses and this seems like the perfect solution, and well the necklace just looked gorgeous!

I will post pictures an reviews once I get everything in, until then, Happy Summer everyone, enjoy the sunshine!
