TIKI TIME!

Beck has got me hooked on TIKI! Her and I are amassing a rather extensive collection. We pick them up at every Polynesian restaurant we can and I scour thrift store for them! Just a couple weeks ago I got a great Blue Shrunken Head from the Kowloon! Ill post a picture after I move into Beck's(seeing as id resides with all the other tiki mugs in the living room)
But just the other day I picked up two more from my GoodWill(the two ran me $1.33, I'm a big Spender)
Beck has slowly been tiki-ing my brain like it's her job. It started with bringing me to the HuKuiLou for the first time on Christmas. Then the Kowloon. Then she gave me a Hawaiian/Atomic swim set. And then made me buy a vintage Hawaiian shirt at Brimfield last year. Now she's got me hooked. I have 5 different vintage Hawaiian shirts plus my swim set. I don't even know how many 40s-60s Hawaiian albums I've bought. It really is getting to be a problem, and I really don;t mind one bit. It's Brimfield next week, I'm limiting myself on what I can buy. Only records, clothing, and cheap tiki mugs.

Anyone else share the love of the tiki?

TROPICAL TUESDAY!


Happy Tropical Tuesday everyone! What IS Tropical Tuesday you ask? Well It's a holiday I invented this morning so I could wear my new vintage Hawaiian Shirt! I will get better pictures of it soon!! But For now I have this one!

How does one celebrate Tropical Tuesday you say? Well don your pretties Hawaiian frock and sunglasses put on Annette Funicello's "Hawaiianette" and have a pineapple-y drink in a tiki mug! Break out your parasol and head outside if its warm and sunny!
This is my first outfit post by the way!
So I just recieved that shirt from Beck last night! It was in her closet waiting for the right guy(a.k.a me) to get in it and have it fit like a glove. It is great quality. I love the pockets they are all stain lined too!
Then Im just wearing some jeans from work
And some classic chucks.
Oh and my sunglasses are really bad quality rayband knock offs my Mom picked up for $2 for me!
Last night I decided I'M getting a pair of Freddie's. Now I just need to save up for them!
MAKE TODAY TROPICAL TUESDAY ON YOUR BLOG TOO! It will be a good time! And don't worry, every Tuesday can be Tropical Tuesday so if you missed it this time, do it next week! It's fun to have a holiday in the middle of the week!
