Rodeo Queen
Hello hello! Happy Tuesday everyone! You don't have to be a cowgirl to appreciate the glamour of a rodeo queen. I mean, come on, sequins, embroidery, high waisted jeans and big hair...gimme! Last Friday night the MR. and I had the pleasure of attending my aunt's birthday dinner at the famous Buck Owens' Crystal Palace and since then I can't get "Jolene" out of head! They didn't even play that song but my cousin and I started talking about our secret love for Dolly Parton and well who doesn't love Dolly Parton. The Crystal Palace was amazing. Great food, great company, great entertainment, line dancing and a country music museum showing the history of Buck Owens (who is part of my family). Yeehaw!

Goodbye Donuts... Goodbye Cruel World
Hello hello! Happy Wednesday everyone! Ok, so I know I sound mental but I threw out all the donuts and sweets this morning! Why would I do this you ask? Well, I have a major sugar problem….the problem is, I LOVE IT! I am aware that there is sugar in practically everything we consume on a daily basis even if frosting is not included, however I go above and beyond the regular sugar and consume delicious sweet treats pretty much everyday…donuts, cookies, cupcakes, you name it, I want it. The really sad part about all this is that I can tell that my body is craving sugar and I can tell when I am hitting HIGHS and LOWS throughout my day due to my sugar intake. Every week I usually commit to give up sugar and that lasts maybe three days until I lose it and have to go buy Hostess mini crumb donuts. So here I am again ready to give up sugar…and this sudden middle of the week motivation has sprung due to an insightful post from Danielle of Sometimes Sweet. She’s so right on about everything she mentions and I can totally relate. She has given helpful tips and is even posting a sugar-free challenge on her blog that she is trying to get readers on board with to start Monday. I AM SO DOING THIS, and for real this time!
I am not worried about the delicious foods I will give up because I have already been omitting the crap from my diet. A few months back I gave up dairy all the way and I have never felt better and will not go back! Well I shouldn’t say I gave it up all the way…I still consume baked goods with dairy. So I guess I am on my way to full veganism since I already do not eat meat.
Ok, so back to my point…So I am going to start the sugar-free challenge on Monday and thought I’d get a slight head start by deleting baked goods from my diet for the rest of the week. This will be a challenge in itself but I feel that it will help me do a better job at my complete sugar-free challenge for next week. This way it’s not quitting so much ‘cold turkey’ but more as weaning myself.
As for starting today, I know myself and if I am game for something I must do it right away or else the momentum comes to a halt along with the motivation. So what is the first thing I see in my inbox this morning…The Girl Scout Cookie order form is going around town. Also, Friday I am attending two birthday parties, which more than likely will include cakes of some sort and then a very special friend of mine is coming over on Sunday and usually every time we see each other we bake and eat some kind of treat…I hope I make it! Actually, I know I will! Pop in on me and see how i'm doing later on twitter.
Looking forward to starting clean and fresh on Monday!

UPDATE // In The Works
Hello hello! I know its been awhile but there is usually good reason for that. If you noticed the slow pace on the blog and my lack of tweeting in the past week I have a good explanation for both...I had a super rough week. You know the kind...when it rains, it pours. Finally, I picked my self up yesterday, cut the cord on that crappy attitude and got back to work. I have been working overtime on some exciting new things (all in the works) for Hella Vintage! I am super excited to start showing off the fruits of my labor real soon. I’ve taken the next plunge and have hired an assistant to help me get this show on the road. You will all meet her very soon! With this extra help Hella Vintage will now be updated on a weekly basis with tons of new merchandise in our Etsy and Market Publique shops!
Thanks everyone for all the support, you ROCK!
About the photo: I took this lovely photo while whale watching in Hawaii, off the coast of Lanai, two years ago. The MR. and I refer to this photo as "SeaWolf."

Trend Watch // Doc Martens
Hello hello! I am so loving the revival of the classic Dr. Martens with new and edgy prints and patterns!
I had a pair of the classic brown mary janes when I was in jr. high and I could slam my head into a wall for getting rid of them. What was I thinking? No worries, I will be trying to accquire any of these new beauties that you see above...especially the velvet docs!
Happy Thursday! xoxo

Forbidden Planet // Anne Francis
Hello hello, happy Sunday everyone! Last night the MR. and I watched the 1956 sci-fi cult classic Forbidden Planet. I immediately fell in love with the decor of "vintage space" and Alta played by Anne Francis. She has a killer mod space pad, frolics with space fawn in her backyard and wears sparkly minis that she designs herself, um, hello, I wanna go to Altair IV!
