Who the heck is Vintage Coconut?

Hello everyone if you are wondering who Vintage Coconut is, it's me previously Lime Vintage. I have changed my Blog name along with its look also.

My main reason is: When I joined here I had not a clue what to name my blog or if I would even be around here for any amount of time. So I quickly came up with lime vintage because of my love for lime green and well LIMES. lol


But in a few weeks I will have been here for a year and I like to blog but many times have stopped for quite long lengths of time. I vowed to do better this year and I plan to keep my word. So I decided to help me get motivated I wanted to freshen things up a little and give it a little more thought.




Why Vintage Coconut?? Well I like coconuts.... (oh man we can all see where this is going.. first limes now coconuts) But no NO no I promise its not like that. I acquired a Coconut monkey which I like quite a bit. I plan to add more to this one man collection but have not come across them yet. I also love hula girls and Hawaiian stuff. When I think of coconuts it also makes me think of all those other lovely things. Sitting at my desk I just got last week that I bought from the salvation army for $15.00 (Which will get repainted in the spring) I thought now what am I going to put on my desk and decorate it with?? The first thing I went and got was the coconut monkey. Followed by a pineapple shaped candle and a little Hawaiian hula girl. Those are the things I look at when I sit down at my desk. I could have picked anything.. but I chose them. Which is a fitting reason to choose vintage coconut. And now I feel a bit better about this little blog. Because I did not choose the name rushed while signing up. I have chosen something that has some sort of meaning to me. Because I plan to stay here and plan to continue blogging. The people I have met on here are all delightful and alot have the same interests than me which is sometimes hard to find other places. Heck alot of people I know think vintage is silly or OUTDATED!!


So that is why I like to talk to all of you. *Smile*

I will post a regular post again soon. We are getting close to the weekend so everyone have a GREAT one!

Dress Hoarder

Hello Bloggie people! Today I decided I needed to go to on of the second hand store's I usually frequent on Saturday's. I found 3 dresses all which I liked. Since I was in a HUGE rush because the store was closing in just 30 min when I walked through the door, I just threw the dresses in my basket not trying anything on.
When I got home I decided I better see how they fit. Well I got 1 out of 3 that's better than nothing really!! *hehaha*



(Dress #1) I loved.. it's a little bright and loud but in some ways that describes me also. This dress was so close to fitting except 1 button will not do up. ONE BUTTON... uhgg This dress looks as though it's only been worn a few times is in such awsome condition I love love love it!
It came with a matching scarf which has a funky striped design just like the dress and then some flowers.

(Dress #2) There is just something about Hawaiian dresses I cannot get enough of. I found this one VERY intriguing. I have 2 vintage Hawaiian dresses and they are both sort of the same style.. this one was quite different I noticed because it has a sort of Mermaid tail thing going on which I found to be simply GREAT. Well I was quite miffed when I realized my BUTT is to fat for the dress! *lol* so since I can get it on my legs but not past my bottom I don't think it will be appropriate to wear.. in fact it could just get me arrested!

(Dress #3) WAHOO!! It fits and looks very cute on I think! All the buttons do up and it fits over my lady lumps!! woohoo! (Yes I was super excited) I will have to show you this dress on in a post sometime. It has a matching belt & a cute little tie around the neck.
Best of all it will not wrinkle and the colors will go with so many accessories.

The reason I went to the store a day early was because I am going on a day trip out of town tomorrow. I plan on stopping at a few Salvation army thrifts and a really sweet vintage shop I found online. HOPEFULLY I will find something lovely for myself at the vintage store.. MAYBE another dress?!

I did my nails for the occasion!
Wish me luck & Have a great weekend!
