Little Girl With Big Ideas

It is summer and I am craving what is to me the epitome of a summer movie: Gidget. Who doesn't like this giddy film full of surf and beach eye candy?

Although I recently picked up the film from the library, I accidentally requested it in VHS rendering it useless to me. However, hazy memories of the plot and images via the web might be influencing my style anyway. High ponytail? Check. 60s sheath dress? Check. Now if I just had a beach to laze around on and a Moondoggie to pine over we would be set...retro, vintage, secondhand, style, fashion, gidget, 60s, 70s, shift, dress, floral, futuristic, theclotheshorse, the, clothes, horse, daily, outfit, personal, blogretro, vintage, secondhand, style, fashion, gidget, 60s, 70s, shift, dress, floral, futuristic, theclotheshorse, the, clothes, horse, daily, outfit, personal, blogretro, vintage, secondhand, style, fashion, gidget, 60s, 70s, shift, dress, floral, futuristic, theclotheshorse, the, clothes, horse, daily, outfit, personal, blogretro, vintage, secondhand, style, fashion, gidget, 60s, 70s, shift, dress, floral, futuristic, theclotheshorse, the, clothes, horse, daily, outfit, personal, blog

Arielle said...

hmm i've never seen that movie! Cute dress! I've been looking a lot at eBay lately too but I'm always concerned I'll buy something and be disappointed with the actual thing. Have you had a lot of luck with them?

Fashion Addict said...

I've never seen Gidget either, so I should check it out, especially since I actually have the time!

jayne said...

Penny said...

That dress is gorgeous, I wish I had more green items!!

fashionaddict said...

I love the light and tint of your photographs, it's like watching an old film. Lovely.

(Love the clothes too :))

bestie said...

your dresses just keep getting better and better! this one is so, so pretty especially with that cute ponytail.

Nadine said...

Great dress... and lovely bangles :)

Muirin said...

A moondoggie... yes. That would be ideal. Especially in a sheath... I think a lot of things seem more cheerful and full of infinite promise when wearing a pretty sheath such as yours. :)

yiqin; said...

Such beautiful pictures as usual! The colors on the pictures are really bright & pretty! I like high ponytails too! You look great in bangs & I love that dress! :) Great oise in the last photo!

-k said...

You look very adorable! And your bangle collection is really incredible.

FashionSqueah! said...

I love the bangles, so pretty! I'd probably be hoarding summer stuff too if there was any point...I mean we had thunder and lightening last night! I know what you mean about anecdotes, or hearing a bit about where the clothes are from or what they mean to the person or even just where they're gooing and what they're doing! I think I'm probably the worst for giving you guys boring pictures (ie in my living room) which don't mean anything! Char x

Amelia said...

These pictures are so good! I love the dress and the little details--the belt, the ribbon, the bag. Perfect.

Grace's said...

I love your dress, it's pretty

annabananna said...

la petite fashionista said...

sort of reminds me of those floral print balenciaga dresses but with less shoulder padding! I love the mix of stacked bangles as wlel

xoxo

G & W said...

Ida said...

The last picture is precious. I am falling in love with your style more and more!

I so wish I lived by the sea, too.

Inside the Cabinet of Wonder said...

your dress is lovely! great colours and pattern! your hair looks really cute.
i love the last pic! fab pose!

Luxe. said...

That dress is somekinda wonderful!

MollyCake said...

oh yeah, Gidget was my favorite movie growing up! I loved all the "stunts" on the surfboards. The round bangs, the perfect ponytails, or low pigtails, all the faux-boaty gear. AND the amazing bathing suits. I still search for them. you would have fit in perfectly...

lisa said...

Ooh I should look into downloading that. My fave escapist summer movie is Y Tu Mama Tambien. It just makes me miss Mexico terribly.

Hmmm I might have to do a post on my favourite escapist "staycation" movies.

ann said...

Your hair looks fantastic with this outfit.

Vintage Vinyl said...

You look fantastic in those colours. That dress is gorgeous!

Adiel said...

Love the colors, love the hair!
Confession, I've never seen Gidget! I guess I'll have to make an effort to see it.

AlicePleasance said...

You look great with the high ponytail :-)

Molly :] said...

The bangles are pretty. And your hair looks good too!
I love Gidget (my family happens to be surf obsessed, so we seem to own every surf movie in creation), and your right, it is the perfect summer movie.
Luckily for me, im off to france for two weeks of surfing paradise! :) xxx

CULTURE CREATORS said...

GIDGET! Thats one of my favorite chilhood movies!! As my sisters and I were growing up we were only allowed to watch old movies and musicals! Hmmm I think you would really like Bye Bye Birdie. If you haven't already seen it, it is a def. must see!

Oh, Gidget. Such a fabulous piece of summer fluff. Now you've got me craving it!

By the way, I haven't had a chance yet to say happy anniversary to you and your blog. The internet would be a little less bright without you!

copperoranges said...

i cant decide how i feel about ordering vintage off ebay. part of me feels like i'm cheating because the seller did the hard work, but then again if it's a great dress.... it could be worth it!

you look beautiful!

we wear things said...

cute dress! i have a flower dress that i purchased recently that i need to give a spin :)

Arabelle said...

YOU READ MY MIND.

"honest to goodness it's the absolute ultimate!" I adore that movie. The series wasn't so good, but I found the movie adorablleee. The main squeeze is so hot and the clothes are mouthwatering.
