Amber thanks so much for posting about your Viva experiences. I am so jealous that you got to go. you look great. As for vintage clothing In the last few weeks I have bought three vintage dresses. I am usually about a size 14. Bigger sizes are not common but they are out there. And none of them cost me more than twenty dollars! I search thrift stores and antique stores. And I try to be selective about what I buy and how much I spend.

Now about you, I like the last two looks the best. The Heidi looks so good with your coloring. And you totally rock that top and skirt!

Thanks Aoife! I know there is vintage out there. I just never can snag it haha. We did visit the Charleston Antique Mall in Las Vegas. Amazing!!! I could have spent ALOT of money in there. :-) I did get the two beaded bags pictured above. Hope to see you at VLV17!

I loved your Viva recap Amber, you really are one deadly dame ;)

I SO wish that I ran into you down there, maybe next year. My hubby and I already booked our rooms too :) Also I loved your list of things to do better for next year, a couple of those are on my list for sure.

My favourite outfit is DEFINITELY the black Vamp top with the black skirt. I can't wait to see those candid pics!

Hi Amber , I really loved reading this ! Maybe ..some day... ( when we win the lottery or we recieve a huge heritage from a lost and unknown family member which was billionaire and we are the only heirs ;-) - Never give up dreaming !! ) we'll got to VLV !! ( We live in Belgium and the flights only are already expensive ) Ouch - the hair...... I have the same problem ! I've been watching tutorials for hours, have books ..but when I try to do it , the most of the times after a while brushes are flying through the air, bobby pins all over the flour , flowers, bandana's, snoods the whole shebang lies around everywhere . And my hair ??? Euh..... like I was electrocuted . My hair is very straight and in an effort to be get the look that seems so easy with the tutorial and in an effort to be there with a curling iron guidelines and  a curling iron and .... wat do I get ? Blisters and some strange things who do not seem to curl . Victory rolls... OMG !! I would urgently need to find a course for dummies - and a teacher with a lot of patience ;-) 300 $ for one dress ??? I have the sweetest hubby in the world but he would go crazy ! And you need more than one dress... a nono for ou're bankaccount ! I'm happy with everything I have from Glamrockclothing.... The owners went to VLV too , I could follow there trip on facebook every day with there pictures . ( sigh.....) But I was super incredible happy and couldn't believe it at first - I've entered a competition for their two year anniversary.... And I won the first price ! I saw the dress in pictures of VLV .... and now I have it in my wardrobe ( and it's almost impossible, but it looks even more beautiful when I wear it !! ) 

But you look really georgous and I love you're accessories..wow ! 

I very enjoyed your report and pictures.... like you gave me a real tour !
