Pan Am: Episode 4

I have just 3 words for last nights episode:

Vintage Bathing Suits!

 (with Navy boys. Mmm.)

 

Probably my fave, Laura's eyelet one-piece.

 

Maggie's suit, although cute, seemed straight out of Fast Times at Ridgemont High to me.  (I'm not entirely convinced of the authenticity of the vintage fashions just yet. It's too easy to get vintage-esque these days thanks to the rest of us vintage shoppers and the retailers catering to us.  Dear ABC: You're welcome.)

 

 If I wasn't such a sucker for eyelet, Kate's coral striped suit would definitely be my favorite!  (Kate wins the episode's Best Hair category too.  She's rockin that hair.)

And the one that got away...Colette's brown polkadot suit.  How I wish I had gotten a good look at the rest of it!  Colette wins for Best Hat.

The series as a whole is a bit slow-moving.  If it weren't for the call of the fashions, I might not still be watching.  I hope it finds its footing soon!

Friday Fashion Inspiration

This week's faves from my Pinterest Stylish board... (click the photo caption to go to the pin!)

Leopard Heels.

Brown Dotty Dress.

 

GIANT BOW! (Is this Jennifer Garner?)

those BOOTS, that TOP (!), that BAG!

My love of mustard lives on in this top.

This would be a great wardrobe refashion from that 80s skirt you've been holding onto (or go find one in a thrift store you younger peeps)

Aqua and Green. Brilliant.

Lace Top.

Household Helper Freebie

Anyone else hate the weekly drain of cleaning the house?  I sure do.  I can never seem to get/stay caught up.  I found a great site (through Pinterest of course) that had a free schedule for keeping up with the house in tiny increments throughout the week. 

MUCH more doable than me trying to cram everything I miss or didn't get to on my weekends!

I took that advice, tweaked it a bit for MOI (ha), and turned it into a cute sign to hang on the fridge for a reminder.  I thought I'd share it here, since it has been working well for me this week.  Feel free to download and print it for yourself!
