Puff Bottom Sleeves "You make the rockin' world go round"

 It's Frock Friday and here is what I wore to go out for Mexican food & a short walk in the park!

I found this dress for about $1, It was in my (to sell pile). But I decided to give it a whirl for today's post and it turns out I really like it and am not selling it to NOBODY! *lol*

 It's a no wrinkle polyester fabric and has the cutest little flowers on it that kind of look like cloves... maybe they are cloves?! I have no idea.

 

 There's really nothing going on down there... I was just pretending as people were pulling up to the dock in a boat and I felt awkward... *hahah*

 Okay so I love these sleeves. They were sewn on separately from the other fabric.

And they have a good amount of puff to them!! If the puff was on the shoulders I wouldn't like it.... but puffs at my elbows are delightful!!

 I hated my Fringe/Bangs today they are too long in my opinion. Whenever I get to this point I think "Do I still want fringe or should I grow them out?" This is the 4th time I have asked myself this in the past couple months. So I asked Mr. and he told me he doesn't care.... I rolled my eyes... He flipped a coin (Which I didn't see) So he says: "If you ask me you should cut them" I say... "Oh okay so you want them short again" He says: "I dunno that's what the coin said"

*UHHHHH MEN!!!!*

They will probably be hacked off again the next picture you see of me. I wouldn't mind having short bangs in the winter they will look cute poking out of all my Canadian toques EH!!!

 "Can't freaking See!"

*Lemon face*

I spotted another one of Vanessa's spy's!! This one was cheeky and eating the berries on the tree.

Blindingly blooming bright

 I purchased this dress from Etsy for $15 on June 5th. I loved the brightness and pattern. Once it arrived I tried it on and (Eeeep it was a little tight in the chest area.) I SWEAR I measured properly!!! I have NO CLUE why it was too tight. But now 2 months later and after a few shed pounds. I was able to finally wear my Etsy purchase.

 The Mr. is afraid of Bee's and apparently he saw a bee flying around these flowers where I wanted to take a pic. He said "I hope the bee doesn't sting you." I made this face, making fun of him. saying "AHHHH I got stung."

 These pics are taken at a park near my house. This area of the park is called butterfly garden because they fill it with all sorts of flowers. (What you like my white tights??) Those aren't tights... those are my legs!!! *LOL* I swear my legs are Spf 50 naturally.

Now I haven't spent ANY time tanning this summer. We have had alot of sun ... but laying outside in the dry heat doesn't tickle my fancy. I am usually in the pool splashing around trying to cool off.

*Hundreds of yellow flowers*

Happy Friday!! I hope you all have a fabulous weekend. I am hoping I have better luck with garage saling tomorrow than I have had the past couple Saturdays.

Caught in my pool! Frock on Friday

Ohhhh it looks like a big one!!

 Caught right out of my swimming pool!

 *Taking a closer look*

 Dress was found a couple weeks back and was part of a fill a bag for $5.00 I imagine with all the other stuff I bought I paid around $0.75 cents for it. The shoes came from a different fill a bag for $3.00 They probably cost me $1 because I didn't find that much that day.

I am wearing a string of pearls in my hair.

You most likely already seen my handmade shell necklace. But see the red small one?? I got it at a garage sale for $2.00 I don't know if it's real coral or fake coral... but I really like it either way.

 The bottom is my favorite. I am rather tempted to buy a set of wings and run around town!!!

Jersey is jealous of my CATCH O' THE DAY!

 He better be careful or I will scoop him up in the net too!

MY MOST AMAZING FIND

The best part is... I have 5 more.

*Hhahahaah*

The bright crazy intricate designed dress

I did a HORRIBLE job of Frocking this Friday. I did wear a frock trouble is... I only took two darn pictures. And I didn't even get the whole darn dress!! (That's your fault Mr.)

I was very rushed today as Mr. still had to go do his last shift before the weekend. So I rushed out the door to go to the "Bag sale" Thrift. I didn't find too much this time. These pics were taken in front of a cute old house on the same street as bag sale. (I love that little front porch area.)

I bought this dress in a (Buy 1 get one free sale) The total was $5.00 so I suppose I paid $2.50

I am crazy about this big giant ring. It makes me think of black licorice whenever I wear it.
Here is the daisy headband I got from Des. http://pullyoursoxup.blogspot.ca/

When I look at this picture it creeps me out. I think it has a weird trance vibe to it. It has to do with my eyes and the top leaves on the headband... "YOU ARE GETTING VERY SLEEPY STARE INTO MY EYES"
*GAHHHHHHH*
Am I crazy or do you get what I am saying?

(I adore this headband so much!! I have always loved Daisies)
I wore a daisy hair flower almost all last summer.

I have a purple dress I want to wear this one with. It was too wrinkled to frock up into today. But that's probably a good thing since I totally didn't snap much pics.

This is the one Mom wore Yesterday in her Birthday photo.

Thank you all for wishing her a Happy Birthday I am going to get her to read your comments soon. (I know she will be thrilled with the ones saying her and I look alike...) because I used to always swear I was adopted. Most people don't see a resembelance between My Mom & Dad and I.

Fuzzy photo but this headband is very pretty. The whole base is green leaves and then the roses on top!

Thank you very much Des & Stylist for doing your fun little giveaway & for the Stylist pulling out my name!!! *WOOOT WOOOT*

Something else came to Canada for me this week.

It was a gift from Em!!

http://vintage-sweetheart90.blogspot.ca/

(I love cute packaging)

Em sent me a LOBSTER, PRAWN, CLAM, SHELL apron she bought at Kylie's garage sale!!!

OMG!!! I love it immensely. I am going to wear it the next time I bake (Which will have to be soon now) Also in the package was those red & black leopard earrings. I loved the card... and instantly thought "mmmm Tomato soup" Then I realized... it wasn't soup... it was tea! *hhaha*

Thank you Em!

Lastly thank you to those who became a "Liker" on my Facebook store page.

I was having a horrible time figuring out how to do and work all the stuff on there. (Then I finally realized) I was supposed to have a "Personal facebook account" So I could be (A Administrator to the page.) So all in all I had to create ANOTHER facebook account so I could actually properly run that page and "LIKE" other businesses and stuff.

My name on there is Melanie Sparkle. I tried Melanie Coconut and I got a message saying (They didn't think that that was a legitimate name.) But yet ... I tried Melanie Sparkle... and it worked like a charm. *LOL* *Roll eyes*

~* Have a good weekend Everyone *~

Crazy Checks & My Precious

Happy Frock on Friday!

The dress was found at my usual $5 bag sale. Meaning it cost me about 75 cents. I got others at the same time... but sadly it looks as though most of them are too big for me.

"Touch my shopping bag and I will beat your @$$!!" (Not really but that was my caption for this photo when I seen my face. )*lol* I am IN LOVE with this shopper bag I found. First off it was sitting outside in a FREE BOX... BUT WAIT... as we are pulling up to the shop and I spot it. Store employees are walking outside towards their free stuff. One of them grabs the bag *WHAT??!*

She carries it in the store and I over hear her say she thought someone donated it and threw it there. But then another employee said no "We got it yesterday and so on so put it out their because they didn't think it was worth much" I know if I don't speak up soon this damned bag will get a pricey sticker. So I blurt out from the isle "How much do you want for that bag?" Then they look puzzled. "Ohhh gosh I am thinking" One says "Two fifty?! looks at the other one (Do you think that's okay) "Uhmm yea okay says the other lady".) So I tell them I will think about it and then after that I hear "If she doesn't buy it we can get more for it." *Sigh* So I just say "I will take it can you hold it for me until I am done shopping."

Sadly the original owner of my fave thrift store left in the middle of Feb. These people who run it now are all new. (Most of the old staff left the same time as the old owner) I see some higher pricing going on and changes every time I visit.

As they say.... "Nothing lasts forever"

I really have to start getting some stuff done outside soon. The yard looks like absolute trash and I am limited to where I can take pics right now. No one wants to look at dead plants from last summer. Am I right??!! *haha*

My Mother who was with me when I purchased it ... *Hates it* And thinks I should sell it. My Dad says: "It's LOUD & different" (But it did make him smile so that has to count as something.) I think.....
And now you see how hair lazy I was. Clip here, clip there, clip left, clip right.

Wearing my green Bagel shoes Mr. bought me in the fall. They were perfect because this dress is TOO LONG. I am going to hem it so I don't wreck it. I swear the original owner must have been close to 6 feet. It puddles on the floor on my 5'4" body.

P.s. I bought my first pair of original 60's Cateye frames a couple days ago.

I am going to get them filled with my prescription *HOPEFULLY*

I am going to have to look for a place that doesn't mind working with vintage frames.

*MEEEEEOW*

I am excited!

The floral Angel of Sunday

Today I wore a flower in my hair... flowers in my ears (floral earrings... not plastic blooms in my ear holes & a flower winged dress. (For Nelly) http://vintageaustralia.blogspot.com/

The wing crazed one.

My weekend has been a good one so far. Last night for dinner we went to ... THE RAMEN SHOP! *lol*

We ordered some Gyoza's to go with our dinner. Gyoza are dumplings (Japanese pot stickers)Which reminded me of a Helga von trollop, check out her video at the end of the post *lol* http://helgavontrollop.blogspot.com/2011/08/you-like-my-dumplings.html

"I was playing that in my head while eating"

You are only supposed to get 5 ... But I think the owner gave us 6 so Mr and I didn't have to fight over the odd one out.

This was taken this morning. I was leaving the dollar tag day thrift shop and was on my way to one more. I had a huge bag.... but didn't want it in the pictures. *haha*

DEAR ME... I could have rolled around on this couch and posed for an hour... I declined because it was in the middle of a thrift store and there was people shopping all around. *BAHHH* I saw this sofa for sale last week... This week it had a sold tag on it. But that didn't stop me from sitting down for a mellow pose before it goes of to it's new home.

I AM DAMNED crazy about the color.

BRIGHT GREEN SOFA I LOVE YOU!
In the future when I have room...

(This is one of my many wants.)

(Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you go on

Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on)

Isn't Mexican frog cute!!! *hhahaha*

Mr. and I went out for Mexican food *mmm* Tacos!!

It was funny because he was about to start eating and I said: "Before you eat... can you take a picture of my taco" *Then we both busted out in laughter* I mean really who says something so absurd?! * (Only a blogger)

*NOOOOOOMMMMMMM*
There you have it!

I had a awesome weekend with thrift scores I will show you some stuff soon.

It's time for me to go play with my mannequin... shes wants to do a fashion show.
