Etsy Fav: Morningstar84

Okay, I know I just did an Etsy fav but I thought I'd share this one with you today because we are already on the topic of being a bombshell (ala Christina Hendricks). It's true we can't all look like Christina Hendricks and Marilyn Monroe but we can get a little closer by dressing like them. Reach for the stars, right? Well, at least reach for this one, Morningstar84! This woman is making my dreams come true! She makes vintage reproductions for very reasonable prices, she's constantly adding new dresses, and she does custom orders! Have you ever watched an episode of Mad Men or an old movie and thought, "I'd kill for that dress"? Well it turns out you don't have to commit murder to get it, just head on over to Morningstar84's Etsy shop. When you wish upon a star, your dreams DO come true!

Girl Crush: Christina Hendricks

Sometimes it's just one of those days and the only thing that can make you feel better is looking at pictures of a seriously hot woman. Does that make me a lesbian? I'm not sure but I'm pretty sure I'd play for the other team if I could get with bombshell Christina Hendricks! Lezzy thoughts aside, I'm mostly excited about having a full figured woman in the spotlight again. It really is a nice change of pace.

I'm sure she must get tired of people talking about her body so I wanted to add that Christina is definitely a kindred spirit. I read that she's a natural blonde but started dying her hair at the age of 10 after reading Anne of Green Gables!
