A Wild Tonic Vintage

Here's another new weekly feature on the blog, where I pick a few different items from vintage Etsy shops that I would LOVE to own/wear/buy if I had expendable income. Sometimes there will be a theme, but for the most part, it's just things that I'm diggin'. Let me know whatcha think!

Vintage LITTLE GOLD BOW Cream Clutch from awildtonic




Vintage 70s Slip On Loafers, Women Size 7.5 Narrow from bluebutterflyvintage

Welcome to my first Music Monday post. Every Monday, I'll post a video of a song that I'm into at the time. Sometimes I'll accompany the video with some thoughts, sometimes I won't. Feel free to comment and download the songs if you like them! :)

I love driving to work listening to this really sweet song by The Decemberists.

Tomorrow (or today, depending on when I get around to posting this), September 15th, I turn 24 years old - hooray! I'll be celebrating at work all day! D:

But after work, I'll be having a Thai feast with my family, boyfriend, and best friend! After that, we're going to a bar in New Brunswick that gives you a free bottle of champagne on your birthday. Awesome, huh?

Read on for some birthday-related photos and info about a sweet birthday sale!












I wish this was my cake when I was six, because it would've been SO fitting.










Bears and dinos gotta party, too!






And to celebrate my birthday, I'll be having a sale in my shop! 50% off all items from now until midnight on Wednesday (9/15) evening. Just say "Happy Birthday, Lauren!" in the note to seller!

Although I have a pretty sweet book shelf in my room (invisible shelves-what whaaat!)...




I can't help but swoon over this rainbow color-coordinated bookshelf display. I'm not even a big "book" person, but I'm in love with this setup. Color me jealous (no pun intended)!

I wore this while working around the house this past weekend. I've got a tough-yet-housewifey vibe going on. Sorta Rosie the Riveter-esque? I don't know; maybe the heat is getting to me. I'm wearing a vintage t-shirt from my Grandma, Gap 1969 jeans, thrifted shoes, and a vintage scarf that may or may not end up in the shop.

My birthday party is next weekend, and obviously I've already started preparing. I think I definitely NEED some mason jar lamps. How charming are these? Seriously.
