Shangri-la

It doesn't take much to get me out on a dance floor. Trust me - I have no reservations about looking silly in front of a large group of people- as long as I'm having a good time. I love music and am a collector of vinyl (though my vinyl buying has slowed as of late).

It's always fun finding gems hidden in dusty record shops, and flea markets - some of my favorites are Fats Domino, The Spencer Davis Group, and the Shangri-Las. Seriously you can't help but dance around the living room when listening to these

The Shangri-Las, were tough talking, gum chewing Queens NY ladies with oodles of 60's style.



The Spencer Davis Group - When Steve Winwood belts it out and plays guitar - genius! Are you hip?




Fats Domino- great to listen to while cooking up dinner- why yes I dance from fridge to stove.



Now onto the fashion. Today's outfit is brought to you by 60's colors and the Shangri-las.

  2. Love your skirt! It looks so much like the liberty of London for target designs.
    Always glad to hear when someone isn't afraid to dance - what's the point in being self-conscious when it's getting in the way of a good time?

  3. Two thinks I love, old music and a shirt with a bow! I have so many boxes of records my Dad has given me. Don’t have a record player yet but hopefully one day.

  4. I love the print on your skirt, wow!

    I used to collect vinyl myself, but stopped when I kept moving around so much, I didn't want to keep lugging them around with me (havent collected much house stuff in a while for this same reason!)
