A Very Twee Valley High Birthday Wishlist!

It's a small victory, but having a new computer has me excited to blog again! I scoured the internet to share some awesome wishlist items. This list is me in a nutshell. It combines the things I love most, like...The Ronettes, Archie comics, Belle and Sebastian and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Not to mention brunch and some dog-tastic shoes.  Seriously, this might be the best wishlist I've ever created. P.S. How much does that brooch at the top totally look like me? It's a serious jewelry doppleganger. 

Last year my birthday was on Thanksgiving, but this year, it falls the day after. I'm happy to say I have family visiting ON my birthday. We're headed to a fancy restaurant and will have a fabulous time. I can't wait!

Fall Fashion and New Hair!

Yay fall! I recently had a picnic in Central Park where I wore this fabulous fall ensemble. The dress is my go-to come November. It's seasonably appropriate and always reminds me of Mad Men. The colors come together in a really nice fashion. 

There's a short period of time between wondrous, bright leaves to completely bare trees. It's my favorite time of year when fashion and nature become equally colorful. A friend of a friend needed a hair model so I stepped in. It's shorter than I'm used to, but I love it. It's easy to create the perfect 60's bob, not to mention, my signature flip! I hope to get back to Central Park once more before winter. For now, I'll enjoy the beautiful Bed Stuy brownstones right here in Brooklyn. 

Dress: Anthropologie
Coat: Vintage

Due to my job search, when I'm not networking, I spend a lot of time at home. I love my apartment and how homey it truly feels. I'm all about home goods, especially cookware! This might be due to my marathon of Food Network madness (holla to Bobby Flay). 

I'm also a fan of absurd pillows, even if my couch is officially out of room. I put together a gift guide or wishlist of sorts as I browsed the plethora of online items.

I'm hosting a very unique Instagram contest! 

I'm trying to find creative ways to get my name out there as I navigate a job search. This might seem out of the box but it's worth a try!

After which, I will randomly choose a winner. What do you win? A hand-picked surprise care package of vintage items and other goodies. You can even send me your size and I'll try to do a little shopping on your behalf. You might get accessories, housewares and even candy. Help me find the job of my dreams and #win some surprise presents! 

This contest is only open to Instagram users in the U.S., but feel free to post anyway if you want to aid in my job search! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
