the long road home

I'm packing my yellow suitcase, at least the one in my imagination (because the one pictured is something I drool over on etsy), and moving out of our apartment in the big city into one of the apartments over my grandparents' barn.It is a little one bedroom where the hay loft is. No, the barn doesn't look like the red one above (newer and much larger) but I could always dream, right? I've found that in the face of stress-- our wedding is potentially in 47 days-- I tend to use my imagination much more. I'll give you a hint about it in a later post... Whether or not that is a good thing-- well, questionable. 

Today I picked out all new paint colors for the place-- a nice sunny yellow for the kitchen and little living/dining area, a cool green for the bathroom and a lilac for the bedroom. I'll be living there alone for a while... so I thought what would be better than decking the place out in all vintage decor? I'm can be as girly as I want. How fun! I've got a vision. I can just see myself now, staring out off my deck looking out to the cows and horses in the pasture. Oh please, let time fly!

I'm just wild about saffron...

They call me mellow yellow!

Okay, so I know this isn't exactly a vintage inspired post, but I guess if I at least post one vintage inspired idea per day I am allowed more creative freedom. For my second post of the day it is all about brand spankin' new yellow high heels! Although, if you look closely at each pair of gorgeous man catchers I bet you can see the throwback to a vintage shoe design. 

I love them all, from the color and bulk of the chunky mary-janes, the vented heel and use of shape in the peep-toe heels, the femininity of the nice soft yellow low-heeled shoes, the two-toned eye-catchers, the texture of the baby chick yellow pumps, and the boldness of the bright patent yellow wedge with the cutouts. 

My bridal party is wearing yellow, and although I hope they have found their shoes already, this post is a little motivation to get them going. You see, there are plenty of yellow high heels just waiting to be worn! 

Each of these beauties were found on 6pm.com. Designers include, KORS, DKNY, Miss Sixty, Eley Kishimoto and Two Lips.
