FFF (Fabulous Fashion Friday) Goes Old School

Vintage (adj.): Characterized by excellence, maturity, and enduring appeal; classic.
I am drawn to all things vintage. Vintage has character. Vintage has a story. Vintage has grace and a sense of style. Vintage... What a beautiful definition.

Pyrex Bowls. Beautiful pattern. Beautiful colors. My mom had several pieces of these types of mixing bowls. Back then I thought they were butt ugly. Now, I want them.

These shoes are rockin and THIS store is just cool.

A little owl locket~so darling!

Oh how I wish I still had my Strawberry Shortcake collection.


This (literally) has my babe's name written all over it.


I want this hanging on my shoulder as I walk down the streets of Seattle.

Keep an open eye for all things vintage. I believe vintage brings memories, smiles and secret rays of sunshine. (Click on pics for more info. about some of the products featured.)

P.S. Those roller skates stirred up the memories! I used to love to roller skate. Fourth grade. Milli Vanilli. Couples skate. Josh Nelson. I was in love (so I thought).

Please Oh Please


{click pic for more info.}


Dear Important Nordstrom Worker People,


My name is Mrs. Princess Pookie and I'm fairly certain my life will come to an end if I don't have this dress. You see, I would absolutely be willing to purchase this beautiful fashion work of art but A.) I have completely run out of Nordstrom reward points due to a must-have boot purchase and B.) my Prince Charming would kill me. However, I was wondering if you would be up for a trade? I would be more than happy to wash windows, mop floors, fold clothes, dust displays...you name it. With the exception toilets. I don't do toilets. Not even my own. Wiping up other peoples ickies just might be enough to make me vomit. But, if I can wear industrial strength gloves and a mask this dress just may be worth the risk.

Anyway, call me. My availability is somewhat limited. Maybe on Tuesday between ballet lessons and soccer practice. Oh, and this Friday I have a hair appointment so I for sure won't be available then.

Thank you for considering.

Yours Truly,
Mrs. Princess Pookie

P.S. Okay, if not the dress could I at least have a pomegranate smoothie on the house?

Ah Ha!

Does it get any more girlie than this? (Okay, so the color pink would be the icing on the cake.)
Bows!~Ruffles!~A little Sparkle!
Found these shoes hiding in my closet yesterday. I forgot I had them. It's like having a new pair of shoes all over again.
Assignment: Wear something today that you haven't worn in a long time. If you wear it today then you won't have to throw it out tomorrow.
(You know the closet rule. If you haven't worn it within the last year pitch it!)
Looking for a pair of girlie shoes? Click HERE. I love these. Trust me. These will match a TON of stuff.
Jeans + black T + THOSE shoes= Comfy smokin hot Mama! Pair with false eyelashes and a push up bra...watch out boys!

It's Trendy Tuesday...Do You Dare?

Family Fitness
Exercising!
THIS program is rocking our world. Actually it's kicking our butts and making us cry like babies.:D Start this new trend~try MOVING with your family. However, I recommend finding a bigger space. A poked eye or stepped on toe is common in our house when we do this. Someday we'll have our dream "MOVE" room. Someday....
HAVE FUN. ENJOY LIFE. MOVE.
P.S. HERE'S a little motivation.

This weekend I...

~Shrunk my curtains {GRR!}
~Ripped my house apart for "THE" paint project.
~Got paint in my hair.
~Got paint on my RED coat.
~Got paint on my carpet.
~Got confused by which paint color to actually paint (I'm currently on color #4.)
~Got annoyed when Prince Charming pretended to care about my paint dilemma.
~Stood the babysitter up.
~Bugged Prince Charming when I tried to make a suggestion in HIS garage. (Whoops! I know better!)
~Made crappy apple crisp. Anyone want some?
~Said an inappropriate word when I stubbed my toe.
~Went to Target to Buy Q-tips. Left Target with 5 things I didn't need and no Q-tips. Went back to Target.
~Scolded my children after finding a booger on my bedspread.
~And...started to clean out a closet and never finished.

I suck! Thank goodness for a new week, a new start and that thing called forgiveness.
Make it a GREAT Monday.
P.S. Did anyone pull out their fancy jewels?

It's FFF (Fabulous Fashion Friday)

Fancy up your wardrobe with some accessories this weekend.

I'm totally digging THIS and THIS
Homework: Pull a pretty jewel out of your jewel box that you haven't worn since your last fancy occasion and wear it this weekend. Even if you're not doing anything fancy. Who says mopping the floor or folding laundry can't be a fancy occasion?

Happy weekend activities everyone!

Drool...

Nice to meet shoe...
If I had $300 to throw at the wind these PERFECT boots would have a Home Sweet Home in my closet. Practical, match all, cushy comfort, seasonless, timeless, gorgeous and did I mention PERFECT?
{Sigh}
Bye bye. Have a nice life. I get to pay for ballet lessons, art class and new basketball shoes instead. Why did I have children again?:D
I love you pretty boots!
xoxo,
Mrs. PP
P.S. I do realize there is more to life than just shoes. It's called handbags. Hee hee!
