Great Website!



So I just discovered this great new website! Ruche

The clothing and jewelry are very unique. Here are a few of my favorite pieces.



This dress is only $42.99 and is absolutely adorable. This could be dressed up with some heels or even used as an every day dress with some flats or sandals.

With this dress, I would pair a cute necklace like this one (which is only $14.99). I am definitely starting really like this website.

All in all, they have a great selection of clothing ranging from swimwear and outwear, to casual and formal dresses. Their jewelry selection is definitely unique and appealing. I have never ordered from the site, but it looks to be good quality. I am definitely going to pick some of these items for my next paycheck! If you have ordered from here, please comment below and give your opinion!

Vintage Fashion

I have always loved vintage clothing. Looking though old photographs and watching old movies has always made me yearn for wardrobes like the stars in the movie. Acquiring those looks is getting increasingly difficult as most women are wearing their dresses shorter and shorter. I recently found this website that had photographs from the 1920s on from fashion magazines. These I believe will become increasingly helpful when trying to find clothing similar in style to these. Plus, these will be helpful when I go swing dancing the next time so I can feel the part. I love the feeling of dancing swing with a full skirt!

Here is the website I mentioned. I will probably be posting other websites and pictures as well.

Belle Inspired Clothing

My favorite Disney Princess is Belle from Beauty and the Beast. I had not watched the movie for 10 years, but then my friend started watching it one day and I fell in love with it once more. I even bought the movie on DVD. I recently found this article on College Fashion about Belle-inspired clothing, but I don't really think I like their options.

Here are two prom dresses that look more like Belle than their dress.

For casual day wear, I would definitely consider this dress. This is a gorgeous sun dress that isn't too expensive. Dress #4 also is nice, but it is a little more dressy than the first option.

Nail Design

So I have been really interested into nail designs lately.


There are so many great nail tutorials out there, but I really like this design because it combines my love of reading with my love of unique fashion statements. Hopefully I will get to try this sometime soon, but my internship is taking up a lot of my free time. You can find the tutorial here.

Vintage Dresses

There have been so many times that I would like to have bought vintage dresses with full skirts. I have never been able to afford them, but there are a few dresses I have really started to love.

This is a blue dress that is absolutely gorgeous.


I have absolutely loved 50's style dresses and I don't particularly like this color, but I love this style. I also love their swimwear and pretty much anything else on this website! This website is not as expensive, but still a little bit of money.


This is probably my favorite flapper dress on Unique Vintage. I have been following this website for a while and these dresses are amazing. I think I would love to have this dress for some swing dancing events.

Does anyone else have any favorite vintage stores?

How to tie a scarf

Today, I found a great website that has instructions for how to tie a scarf 37 different ways. I have recently become a scarf-loving person so I figured I'd share it with you!
