W O R E // Vintage Dresses and Flower Headbands

Some of my favorite things are wrapped up in this post like a pretty little package.
All worn in two outfits in the beautiful Nevada desert.
The hubs and I dropped the boys off at my inlaws last weekend so we could drive to Vegas for my cousins' wedding. 
Think sodas, chips and The Eagles and Zac Brown Band playing on an Ipod touch for 4 hours.
Pretty amazing, especially since we NEVER get.away.
Ever.
We were like newlyweds, only having been married for almost 10 years.
We laughed, joked and the hubs even stopped off somewhere (who really knows) to take some photos of my outfit.
I really loved this outfit, Minnetonkas are my favorite!
Blouse: Vintage
Jeans: Really old Levi's
Boots: Minnetonkas (thrifted)
Headband: Savy

After we arrived in Vegas we met up with my family and headed to the wedding.
FYI: I lurve weddings, I get all sappy and girly and want to hold my husbands hand.
I also love vintage dresses, but oddly enoughly have a really hard time finding any. You would think with all the thrifting I do I would have several, but in reality I only have a handful.

I had to get a picture with my gorgeous sister, who decided to wear 3 inch heeled shoes just to make me look all short, even though I'm 5'8.
So yes, I am standing on my tipping toes.
Dress: Vintage
Shoes: Kenneth Cole
Nails: OPI polish (my personal favorite brand)

While thrifting in Vegas I found another pair of Minnetonkas and may have snatched them from the rack like a crazy person. If you're in Vegas look up Epic Thrift, they definitely lived up to their name.
Swoon.
Our weekend away was amazing, and we came home refueled and refocused.
Getting to wear my vintage lovelies was just the icing on the cake.

Finding "My Mod" at The Land of Nod

Mixing different decorating styles is my favorite.
I'm a little bit country, and a little bit rock and roll.
Wait, scratch that.
I'm a little bit modern and a little bit vintage.
Yep. . .that sounds better.

Finding a balance between old and new is a passion and goal I strive for when decorating any room of my home.
I love hanging an old vintage chippy paint mirror over an armchair that screams with bold and bright patterns.
Both items are totally different but compliment each other in a great way.
Balance is key.

If you're looking to find "your Mod" take a look at The Land of Nod's website. They offer a great harmony between classically styled interiors with modern design.  
You can shop furniture, decor and housewares.

Here are a few lovely accents I found while browsing through their website.

I'm swooning over these "vintage inspired" metal chairs
 and the modern typography on these canvas bins.
They need to come home with me.
And they now CAN!
