Borrowed and Blue

   My dear sweet Mary was kind enough to let me borrow her gorgeous summer dress that she made with her own two hands. Isn't that amazing!? I really love this dress. Lucky for me, we're exactly the same size! Yessssss. We were both really excited when we discovered that.
   I just learned how to sew but I'm nowhere near this level. I can't wait to make dresses of my own! Especially vintage inspired pieces like this one. Mary and I are planning on having weekly sewing sessions at her house in south Austin. She turned her spare bedroom into her sewing quarters and I love it! We're gonna be dress making machines! Coming soon, a post all about Mary, her badass sewing skills and her 3 rambunctious pugs. Thank you for letting me share this dress, Schmarebear!

Cinemanic Monday: "If I'm not successful, it won't be distressful cause I don't care!"

   I think this is my first Judy Garland post! I can't believe it. I love love love Judy!. She was amazing. In the Good Old Summertime is one of my favorite Judy movies. I just realized she was my age when she made this in 1948. It's a much earlier version of You've Got Mail. Sorry Tom and Meg, this movie totally kicked your movie's ass. My mama and I used to love watching this together. It's a wonderful film. About twice a year I'll pop this into the DVD player and watch all the songs and sing along. It makes me so happy. 

This post deserves some music to go along with it. Push play!

I just love that adorable red pout. 

 Judy and her handsome co-star, Van Johnson. 

I love this scene. They're so cute together. Her voice is heavenly.

This was Liza Minnelli's film debut! 3 years old and cute as a button.

This is such a great song! "I Don't Care" I live by these lyrics.

Buster Keaton's in this too! Awesome bonus.

You've Got Mail (1998)

   The Shop Around the Corner looks so charming! Jimmy Stewart was so cute. I'll have to watch that soon.

I'm a dot com!

I finally did it!

Happy Mama's Day!

   This one is for you, Mama. Thank you for bringing so much beauty into my life and for teaching me never to take a day for granted. My days are always better when they're spent with you. You always aim to make every day special. I'm so proud to have a mother like you. You're a free spirit, you're beautiful, you have great style and you're my favorite person in the whole world. I love you.
