Someone needs to tell the weather it is almost October and supposed to be Fall. I don't think it has gotten that memo, since it felt like I was taking photos on the surface of the sun today. It was so HOT. So, if you're wondering why I look all sweaty and my hair is all wacky that is the reason.  

One of my favorite local vintage clothing shops had a 50% off sale recently and I got a ton of beautiful dresses. This lil lady was one of them. It is so the perfect summer dress, I wish I found it earlier! Still, it was the perfect dress for today since it was definitely Summer weather. I must admit, though, I am craving Fall. I have so many cute sweaters I am dying to wear that I can't wait for the cooler weather! What is your favorite thing about Fall? Mine is obviously the lovely weather. My favorite seasons are the mild ones. When the weather isn't too hot or too cold, when its just perfect.

September
I've been loving the look of 1930s / 1940s skirt and top outfits lately. My two favorite decades actually are the 30s and 40s, and I've been trying to incorporate 1930s & 1940s style into my own wardrobe. I was never one to wear skirts and tops for some odd reason? My go to has always been dresses, but, lately I've caught myself purchasing more tops and skirts, because they were an outfit staple in these decades, and like I said previously I've been trying to dress more vintage. It's fun adding more variety to my wardrobe, though! I'm still a sucker for dresses, though, and half of my wardrobe just is dresses.

One of my absolute favorite things are arcades.  Maybe it's the bright lights and array of colors that envelope you as soon as you enter. The various sounds and bustle of activity.  I've been in love with arcades ever since I was younger.  I visited Walt Disney World a bunch of times as a child and they have a ton of arcades.  I didn't ride too many rides back then because I was a wimp so instead I would meet all of the characters I could and go to all the arcades throughout the parks.  That's probably where my love of arcades came from, my frequent visits at Disney World. 

Arcades, in my opinion, are a perfect spot for a photo shoot.  All of the games and bright colors make a wonderful background for a photo.  Unfortunately, there aren't too many arcades around where I live so I've not yet taken any photos at one but I plan on it as soon as I find one close!  I found a few gorgeous photos from photo shoots at arcades that I wanted to share.  They've definitely inspired me to go out and find an arcade to shoot in as soon as possible!
