Weekend Style: Vintage Love

I've decided to continue each weekend with the "Weekend Style" post. I think it's fun and inspiring as well. So this weekend rather your going to dinner with friends, a movie, the mall, or where ever throw on something vintage! Vintage clothing is beautiful. Here are some of my picks from Etsy.


Aren't these pink ankle boots hot? I think so. Straight out of the 80's, these pink stiletto ankle boots are in great vintage condition. From the Etsy shop of rwinters24, she also has these in blue and yellow!


What a great maxi dress! I love maxi dresses. This citrus orange maxi dress comes to us all the way from the 1960's. The v-neck, piping, and empire dress give it the perfect touches. From the Etsy shop of tialeyvintage.



Pearls are always timeless. This beautiful vintage clutch is covered in beautiful pearls. Perfect for an evening out with your significant other or to dress up those jeans. From the Etsy shop of NinthAvenueVintage.



This big bright green vintage necklace is so awesome. I love vintage jewelry and bright colors and they are both combined in this necklace. From the Etsy shop of NessaLand.



My favorite! I hate showing favoritism, but I am in love with these vintage shades. I have somewhat of a sunglasses fetish. I probably have 15 pair and that's not enough. I put mine on all the time. I have one really big white pair that I wear all the time, even at night sometimes. Lol. These vintage shades are huge and have rhinestones on the sides. So chic!

A Quick How-To and My Most Recent Thrift Store Find

This Weeks Thrift Store Find

As you all know, I love shopping at thrift stores. It's an addiction. I find some of the greatest things! Just this past week while on a thrift shopping "adventure" with my mama I found these great vintage cups. They are so retro and fun. Since I don't use my vintage items, I shall find a place in my home for these, just not sure where yet since my kitchen is pretty much full.










How-To Easy Jar Embellishments

I love Mason and Ball jars, mostly because of their versatility. They are great to use not only for canning food, but also for storage of small items. They are great to store buttons, ribbons, pins, embellishments, pens, markers, q-tips, and so much more. I'm using 2 of the 3 shown to hold various ribbons and the other to hold my hang tags. Since my logo for my Etsy shop She's Chic Boutique (cms36451) is a crown I decided to embellish each jar with a crown of it's own. It was simple and easy. Just follow these easy steps!

What you will need:

1. stamp or stencil (unless your a great freehand artist)

2. paint pen (I use Elmer's paint pen's they're available at Wal-Mart and come in a variety of colors)

3. jars

4.ink pad

First make sure your jar is clean and dry. Dampen your stamp on your ink pad and gently press it where you want your image, being careful not to let it slide on the glass. If you mess this part up it's ok, just wipe off the ink and start over. Once you have your image where you want it shake your paint pen and press it down a few times on a piece of scrap paper so that the paint is flowing to the tip. Now gently, GENTLY, draw over your so that the paint covers where the ink was. Allow your paint to dry, it shouldn't take longer than 30 minutes. VOILA! You now have your very own embellished jar to store your things in!



Do the tops in the same process as the glass. Doesn't this give thes jars so much personality? I also love the fact that it's done in the crown that I use in my shop. It's a constant reminder of my shop which I love.


You can see that I did the tops on all jars yet only 2 on the glass and I embellished the other with a hang tag where my other hang tags are stored. The rust on the tops also gives this a great vintage feel.

Obsession- Owls on Etsy!

It seems like every time I turn around I see a new addition to someone's shop which includes an owl. I literally mean people are putting owls on any and every thing. So, if you don't have an owl in your shop you might want to add one. I had one in my shop and he sold within just a few days and then I got an order for 3 more of his family members! Below are some of my favorite owl related items from Etsy. Enjoy!



This cute and bright owl may not be what you think. He looks like your average vintage what-not, but it's actually a coin bank. How cute is this?!?! This and more fab finds can be found in the Etsy shop of fabulousmess.


The Etsy shop of sweetCAROLINEvintage is home to some beautiful vintage items. This elegant little own necklace is sure to catch the eye of many. The gold tone and red go beautifully together for a well designed piece.


I am a lover of hoodies. They are so easy to throw on and if it's raining pop up your hood and go. This stylish baby blue hoodie couldn't be better paired with anything than it is with this brown owl on a branch. This and more cool clothing items can be found in the Etsy shop of PrettyRaccoon.


Avon collectors feast your eyes! This adorable vintage owl perfume bottle from Avon is so chic. It would be great nested anywhere in your home. What a conversation piece! Find this owl and more vintage in the Etsy shop of BellaSmiles.

New Addition To My Shop

Hi all! I am so excited to share with you all my newest design! I've decided to expand my shop! I love creating, painting, using my imagination, and the thrill of it all. In the near future I plan to add canister sets, coasters, and more to my Etsy shop cms36451 (She's Chic Boutique). Today I added hand painted candlesticks to all of the other fun and festive home decor items in my shop. Check it out and let me know what you think!


Introducing- A Twist Of Lime- Decorative Candlestick. This candlestick is so fun and funky. It adds a little pop to any room. It sort of makes me think of beetle juice for some reason. I didn't paint it with beetle juice in mind, but upon completion I was like "hmm this makes me think of beetle juice". Tony, my fiance, laughed and agreed that it does indeed make one think of beetle juice.

These can be done in a variety of colors, so if you would like a custom candlestick or a set just drop me a line in my Etsy shop or email me at cms_36451@yahoo.com There's no additional cost for custom orders. I love creating and would be more than excited to do any design for you. I've added some items that would be great to use in conjunction with my candlestick.

Wouldn't my candlestick be perfect for these gorgeous lime green wall shelves? Oh my, it would be so loverly! Yes, loveRly. These and some more awesome finds can be found in the Etsy shop of soZealous.

Need a candle or two? Sure you do! Check out the Etsy shop of peaceblossomcandles. She has some great candles that you are sure to love!

Ok, I hate to cut this one short, but I've got some orders to ship! Have a great week!

Great Gifts All For Under $10

It seems like every time we turn around we are hearing of another financial crisis effecting someone we know. Just today my fiance and I went to pick up his pay check (he works at a lumber mill) and upon arriving we noticed the parking lot was almost empty. It turns out they laid a lot of people off. Thank God, he wasn't one. But on Dec. 17 they will close his part until Jan. 7. Everyone is pinching pennies and trying to get by. I have gathered some items from Etsy that make great gifts and are under $10.



This fun and funky little necklace is great for the teenage girl on your list or those who like to have a little fun. This brightly colored rainbow pendant is situated nicely on a strand of white seed beads. This and more great buys can be found in the Etsy shop of cjsdesigns and only cost $2.25!



This is a darling little set of magnets. They are done in Amy Butler fabrics, which are so popular right now and they come in this precious little tin. These will cost you only $6.00 and ca be found in the Etsy shop of redbirdroaddesign.



Got a baby on your list? The Etsy shop of hippillow is for you! She has some adorable onesies appliqued with cute hippos as well as the cutest hippo pillows I have ever seen. The hippilow onesie shown above is a size 9 months and will cost you only $4.00! Nothing in her shop is priced above $6.00. Amazing? I think so.



Any dad, son, father-in-law, uncle and so on will love these. They are indeed for the child at heart. These vroom vroom cufflinks are the perfect gift for any guy on your list. They would coordinate great with a white, blue, or yellow button down. These are only $8.50 and can be found in the Etsy shop of baublesnbows.




Key lime pie and a candle? I must be in Heaven. Everyone loves a great smelling candle! AuntieDis on Etsy is filled with some great candles. This is her key lime pie jar candle which cost only $8.00. Stick this fab candle in a great gift bag, write your giftee's name, sign yours and you are good to go!


I hope this reaches someone who needs it most. I think most of us can all agree that while some of us or someone we know may be having a hard time there is always someone out there much worse than we are. We should be thankful for what we do have and the things that matter most; our family, our health, and our friends. I wish each of you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. May you all be blessed.
