Shop The Sponsors - Created & Collected

I've been all about the 60s lately. Sheath dresses, minis and lots of layers and I'm especially attracted to nautical colors..I get this way every spring/summer. Red and Navy thats what I want! And what better place to get it than our sponsors? I'm talking Created and Collected.
 love the button detail
 very peggy olson, love the two piece look.
 you can't beat a classic knit, later 60s/70s but still works for me!
 60s + sailor = WINNER!
 Also digging this cherry coat!
 Ok, if this were my size i would've snagged it a long time ago, Cole of California coverup with fishnet!
 Super cute mini with a faux belt!
and because I can't resist pretty 60s either I have to include this beautiful baby blue party dress.

MOD not your thing? You can find styles from the 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s in the Created and Collected shop! That is definitely something for everyone!

Easter Vintage

Can you believe it, two outfit posts in one week! My best friend picked up the most adorable vintage carter's outfit for Corbin a couple of weeks ago. I just knew with the sweet little bunny's on it he would be wearing it for Easter. I almost always wear a dress for easter and you can't go wrong with vintage. :) I had to buy a few new dresses for summer that would fit my breastfeeding bust and post-baby waist. I'm not sure if I'll be able to fit back in to my pre-baby dresses..I hope so because I've got 2 I bought when I was pregnant and I would love to be able to wear them. 
Anyway here is me and the babe, dressed in our vintage-best.







Me:
Vintage necklace thrifted
Vintage shirtwaist from FemaleHysteria
Vintage shoes thrifted
Him:
Vintage Carter's shirt and overall set

I can't wait for next year when he can go on egg hunts and he'll have an Easter basket filled with fun! I did feel kind of bad for not getting him an easter basket this year but he wouldn't be able to enjoy it and the last thing i need is more candy because he sure wouldn't be eating it..and I've already had enough sweets for today.
Hope you all had a nice holiday weekend, check out the Shop Update post for a preview of what is coming to the shop this week.

2 Months

Well I can hardly believe it but my little boy is 8 weeks old today. 2 months! That is so crazy, I could swear he was just born. I am loving being a mom, its hard. Really hard sometimes but when he gives me one of his big toothless grins my heart just melts! I flipping love him so much! I've been instagram obsessed since they brought it to android and I've been taking lots of pics and I thought while I was at it, I would get some outfit pics with him. I'm not looking too fat right now..not thin...but I can't complain. The weather is terrible, some amazing 65+ degree days and 99% crappy rainy days. As soon as the weather clears we'll be out there in the sunshine, getting some exercise and hopefully losing some of this baby weight.
 Me and the little man
 
 toothless smile eeeeep i love it

 oh I also got an instagram account now, you can find me as bombshellbettiesvint or just look for them on my twitter feed.
I'm wearing:
vintage cardigan
new top
hydraulic capri's
rocket flats
He is wearing:
Carter's embroidered whales sleep and play
