I had Andrew Bird stuck in my head all day. Every time I wear a pretty dress like this, I think of my life being set to an Andrew Bird soundtrack.
Outfit Details:
vintage 50s dress - Beacon's Closet
petticoat - I've had this for years and years
tights - target
Seychelles Blimey shoes - courtesy of Seychelles
vintage 50s sweater - gift from my mom
Makeup details:
Mineralize skinfinish natural in light - MAC
brow pencil because I keep forgetting to order a 266se - hate
Petticoat skinfinish - MAC
Film Noir lipstick - courtesy of Julie Hewett (who were kind enough to send me some new products after I blogged about how much I love my new HG, the cheekie lip and cheek shine)
Blacktrack fluidline - MAC
I hope you all understand the lapses in my blogging; I've been spending time with family and friends and have stayed away from the internet almost entirely. In fact, I should probably check my gmail before it gets out of control (probably too late). It's easy to lose track of the internet world when you're catching up with people you love.
A lot of you have been asking for a hair tutorial and I promise, promise, promise that it will come soon. Also, I've had a lot of makeup inquiries, so I'll do my best to list my makeup more often. If you ever have any questions, it's easiest for me to respond through twitter or facebook - I don't always get around to checking older comments on here and I don't want any questions to go unanswered!
Love love,
Keiko Lynn

i hope you are enjoying yourself! i always enjoy seeing your photos. You tend to radiate such joy.
You are seriously so, SO beautiful! Loving the 50s dress and sweater. I hope your holiday season is as wonderful as it could possibly be - I can't blame you for taking a bit of a break, I've had family over constantly!
I love, love your dress -- you look so romantic! Hope the rest of your holiday season is lovely. :) - JoAnn, Sidewalk Chalk
you are always so gorgeous! i love the color of your dress - the blue is so refreshing and light.
You are always dressed so classically beautiful. I love this shoot.
You look so Scarlette Johannson-esque in the photo of you sitting down. Beautiful.
I, too, would love a hair tutorial.
Love love your blog. You are gorgeous in these pictures. Wishing you the best for 2010.
I absolutely adore your hair! It always looks so stunning!!!
CUTE OUTFIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is some fancy petticoat action! I'm rereading Little Women like the little geekbird that I am & your dress reminds me of all the dresses that Meg covets (and Jo teases her for it and then Meg has a burnt curl and goes to the dance in a beautiful borrowed gown and flirts with all the boys!) The blue is beautiful & I think you're right about Andrew bird, all you need is a giant wind-up clock and a complicated mouse trap that sounds like a harp when struck.

Beautiful, as always. You've convinced me to get a petticoat.
The makeup and hair, they're so flawless! And I agree with what Jenny said earlier about Little Women-- the robin's egg blue and petticoat are lovely. :)
Your dress is pure love. A.
Love the powder blue shade of your dress and the petticoat- so fun and girly!
I have to say, those petticoats are to die for :)
Really pretty pictures. Love the dress with the petticoat. Sounds like you had a wonderful Christmas with your family. Have a Happy New Year!

your look is seamless; quite breathtaking to say the least.
every time you post, it's a breath of fresh air. Someone who isn't taking the trends seriously; someone who is blasting Zara & H&M pieces up and down their blog; someone with a clear cut look down to the hair & makeup; someone who has completely captured my fashion heart.

This outfit is absolutely beautiful, and I think you've convinced me that I must get a petticoat.
Andrew Bird's music is the soundtrack to my life! I constantly have his songs running through my head. You look lovely, by the way.
Very cute dress! It makes me want to go to a tea party ^.^
I'm loving your blog! This is a beautiful look, and I love the idea of a day set to Andrew Bird.
You look great. I love the clothes and colours. I especially think the last shot of you is so sweet. . .as if you have a specific reason why you are smiling!
