To Audrey, With Love

I fell in love with this dress the moment I saw it on the Bettie Page website. But of course, it was too expensive and it is against my morals to pay retail (the thrill is in the bargain hunt, of course). I found it new without tags on Ebay later at half the cost and snatched it up!

 This dress was shipped from a seller in Thailand-- I'm so glad my clothes are so worldly!

Dress: Bettie Page "Brigit"

Glasses: Ralph Lauren

Shoes and purse: JC Penney

I feel like a polka-dotted Audrey Hepburn in this dress.

Just bought a new flat iron to try out the new straight, sleek look. 

I love that this dress has functional pockets.

Yes, I did succumb to the allure of polka dots once again, but what can I say? They are my kryptonite.

High Tea at the Mary C.

I had been wanting to try "High Tea at the Mary C." for a long time, and finally got a chance about two weeks ago. (Also did a review for the newspaper. Great chance for combining work with fun). The  Mary C. O'Keefe Cultural Centerhas a weekly tea time where you get your choice of tea  and finger foods- the "perfect blend of sweet and savory," as the hostesses said. I am wearing my latest Hell Bunny dress from Modcloth.com, which they called "blueberry pie."

Dress: Hell Bunny "Vanda"

Purse: Casper

Shoes: Via Neroli

I stopped by Sally Beauty Supply and got a new ceramic spiral curling iron and love wearing my hair curly a few times a week. 

The serving trays, teapots, and saucers are beautiful!

Beautiful murals in the lobby.

Mary C. hostesses gave amazing service!

Someone trying a vanilla bean scone -- delicious!

The best thing about living in the South is mild winters. It's October and I can still wear a summer dress! It will kill me when I have to put these away for the winter.
