Absence with a good reason.....

If you don't know by now, I have been away from my blog  for about  9 months.

Yes, I'm pregnant with my first baby.
This miracle baby came to my life when I lost  any hope  in becoming a mom. 
This new chapter in my life brings big changes in my life, blogging, and Etsy store. I promised myself that this blog will incorporate my personal lifestyle  with vintage twist.You will see me learning how to cook for a family or decorating a baby mini nursery on a tight budget during this journey. 
 I  have been blessed with great friends that provided me with  tons of baby advice.My oldest friend (25 years and counting)  is a OB/ GYN nurse guiding me during this pregnancy. I will be sharing some of my baby tips and maternity tips. 

Here is some of my pregnancy looks:

Style tip for any current or future pregnant ladies: Have fun during your first and second trimester and be creative with  your baby bump. I was lucky to wear my stretchy clothes from my wardrobe. I save tons of money  and waited to wear maternity dresses after my 30 weeks mark. 

I will have more pregnancy looks featuring outfits with  Asos Maternity, H& M baby and Anticipation Maternity.

pastel Summer


Pastel Summer 

We still have a few days dealing with this  summer heat.  Enjoy wearing your favorite pastel fashion  with retro 1950's look. 

After watching some old Mad Men episodes, I understood why summer 2012 was influenced by vintage pastel fashion.
Maybe if I wear my pastel shorts in Pasadena, I could transfer back to these innocent times.  If you don't know, the residence homes in Mad Men were filmed in Pasadena .  











 Yes, I went lighter for the summer. My colorist did amazing job with giving me highlights to my dark hair.





Here is  some of my  Etsy finds:
Pink Floral Silk // Vintage Silk Dress from Etsy store dethrosevintage


Candy Floss dress by Etsy store Dear Golden

pale mint trousers by Etsy store Dotto





Primrose Picnic Dress on Modcloth.com





porter dress lilac by Dear Creatures



This summer has full of different events like my tea party, brigitte bardot inspired photo shot, date day at La's Natural History Museum  and many more.

Vintage for life

Vintage for life

I'm sorry that I  have been away from my blog and vintage passion.  My workload has increased and my free time has been devoted to my mini garden. Pictures are coming unless you have been checked out my Instagram.  My user name is MarMarVintage. 

Recently, I had amazing encounter with one of  MarMarVintage customer, Logan.  When I was shipping out her Betsy Johnson dress, I notice a minor defectives @ the USPS location.  I felt guilty for sending out her the dress and issued a refund to her.  Honestly I felt like  every customer deserves to get best  product and honest service regardless you have a big or small business. :)

Maybe the good karma fairies were smiling at me because  Logan send me some delicious Belgian  chocolates and Thank you card. I'm so happy that she is sexy in the dress. 







Back to outfit pictures:)











My outfit consists:
Dress: Thrifted
Shoes: Thrifted
Necklace: Thrifted
Hat: Thrifted


Tonight-- my godmother's son is having his graduation party. I will be posting pictures and my outfit:)
Do you have any graduation parties , this week? please share:)

Drop waist dress

Drop waist dresses

They are essential item  for any girl's closet.  I have too many drop down waist dress because  the 60's usually dominates my style. Yes, the drop waistline with longer bodice section and flirtatious skirt.

Please note for ladies with curves, this dress can be tricky to wear. I highly suggest wearing a belt to define your waistline like  the last features.


Here are my Etsy finds:

Vintage 60s drop waist dress by Etsy store SkivvyLuLuVintage


Drop Waist Dress by etsy store oldage



Drop waist dress by Etsy store MarMarVintage


Do you have any drop waist dress? If so,  do you wear it for the daytime or evening?
