Fabulous Fridays

This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave.

Thank you to all of our veterans, past, present and future.  Happy Veteran's Day!

Fabulous Friday!!

Hello friends!!  Dia de los Muertos was on Wednesday and is another one of our very favorite days.  It is a day to pray for, remember, and celebrate lost loved ones.  The art and traditions of Day of the Dead are so beautiful and we thought we'd share some of our favorites.

Of course we have to start off with the cover of newly-released Sugar Heart Magazine, which features our lovely Lady.  Amazing, right?!

Sugar skulls were traditionally made to represent a departed soul and were placed on alters or gravestones to honor the return of the spirit.  They are hand-made and are amazing little works of art.

Check out these fabric sugar skulls we found!  Awesome!

Here is a woman in Mexico setting up her home alter.  Beautiful.

This is a gorgeous arbol de la vida by artist Juan Hernandez.

We love this sugar skull retro dress by Pinup Girl Clothing to celebrate all year long!

Fabulous Friday!!

It's Friday again!!  One of our favorite holidays is Halloween and today we have it on the brain!  

How cute is this vintage bat girl??

And we love this sexy witch by artist Bill Layne!

And of course this one by Elvgren...

And we LOVE these cute (slightly creepy) kids, all ready for trick or treating!

Vintage ads are always awesome, especially this one for Halloween candy..

And this pinup in the Pepsi ad is fabulous!

How cool is this mask?!

We can't wait for Halloween!!  Are any of you dressing up??

We can thank Christian Dior for the gorgeous style of the 1950's.  He launched his first collection in 1947.  Known as the "New Look," it featured the classic rounded shoulder, tiny waist, and full skirt that we all know and love.  After the frugal, plain styles during the war, women were ready for the glamourous new fashion.  The influence of Dior's "New Look" can (thankfully!) still be seen today.

It's FRIDAY!!!  

Here at CherryBlossoms it's no secret that we love vintage lingerie.  

And I mean 

L.O.V.E.  

Today we are drooling over these gorgeous vintage nighties!

So feminine and sexy!

And check out this amazing lingerie bag that looks like a corset!

We are wishing we were lounging around eating bon bons in one of these beauties, complete with high healed feather slippers of course.

HomeComing

I had the great honor of shooting the homecoming of Mrs Ts hero a few weeks ago.

Because of FBs new silly rules we will now be posting videos in our blog, so if you have one, link up with us and stay in the loop.

Thanks Mrs T for letting me share your special day with you.

Fabulous Fridays

Good morning lovely readers!!  We are starting a new feature on our blog this week - Fabulous Fridays!!  Every Friday we will have a special post highlighting some of our favorite things.  Today we have baking on the brain..

  These gorgeous ladies inspired us!

We definitely need the perfect vintage inspired apron and isn't this one just wonderful?

And we can't forget the Pyrex mixing bowls!  

A cute oven mitt is important!!

And we are drooling over this amazing vintage mixer...

Of course, we'll need something to keep all of our yummy treats in!  Here is an adorable (maybe a teensy bit creepy) vintage cookie jar that must have been made for us!

Can't wait to get into the kitchen and get cooking this weekend!

Have a FABULOUS Friday everyone!
