New Camera and Blogger Of The Week

2009-09-09T14:52:00.000-07:00

Before I tell you all about the new blogger of the week, I want to tell you why I haven't been able to post lately until now. Here's why - I have been wanting to get a new camera for months now and I just bought a Nikon D60 yesterday night, so I am still getting used to all of it's features. But I just wanted to say that I will for now on be updating alot more :)

So, keep a close eye out at my Flickr and blog and I hope you all like it! :D

( I will also be putting up a new layout really soon!)

And the blogger of the week is....

Strawberry Koi!

Strawberry Koi is the one who inspired me to make my own blog. I learned about her in mid June while searching through the Modcloth pool on Flickr. I then relized that her photo's were amazing and I'll admit, viewed her blog about 8 times a day, anxious for a new, exciting post to be there for me to read. She truly is my reason of being in the blogging community. What I have said is only half of how she is my true inspiration!

She is also a sweet, helpful person who is willing to become friends with almost anyone!

And here is a link to her beautiful blog for you to view -

Too wonderful for words

2009-08-12T16:45:00.000-07:00

You never believe where I found these Betsey Johnson dresses - Goodwill! My family and I were walking through a little rural town when we saw a little Goodwill hiding between two historic buildings downtown. The Goodwill was so tiny, that I had to talk my family into going in, for they thought it wouldn't have anything nice. Yet, when we went in, we relizied it was much better than we'd expected. There were only about four other customers there, so we got alot of attention from the sweet lady working the cash register.I had found a adorable little 60's dress and 40's skirt when the lady came up to me and told me to follow her. I did so curiously, but when she brought me to a rack at the back of the store and dug threw afew blouses, I new that what ever she was going to show me was going to be good. And it was - it was two (yes two!) Bestsey Johnson dresses for only $8 each!One was exactly my size and the other was a size to big, but it ended up still being perfect .You can few their dresses here - http://www.betseyjohnson.com/Women_Dresses_View_All/pl/c/1101.html

My current inspiration is long, flowy hair. It makes me jealous of these girl's gorgeous locks of hair :(

Oh, how wonderful traveling can be! Read my Flickr for everything about my photo's (http://www.flickr.com/photos/rainbowamour/) I just made a new layout which is alot better than the one I have now, yet whenever I try to upload it, the whole page goes down. =( Sorry! But I promise to try right after this to upload it again.

Plus, on a completely different topic, I will now make a blogger of the week every week and will start today, so watch out to see if it happens to be you.

Roadtrip - Caddo Oklahoma

2009-08-04T09:56:00.000-07:00

In honor of the end of Summer, I am currently on a long road trip all the way from a small town in Texas to Philadelphia Pennsylvania. Yesterday we were driving through little country towns in Oklahoma when we passed a little antique town called Caddo (You can view their site here, http://www.caddo-ok-today.org/templates/System/default.asp?id=39580)

They had so many antique stores either there in town or near by, it was probably the best little antique town in the world, and it was all extremely reasonably priced. I purchased the most adorable 50's pink junior dress for only $6!

View my other pictures from this antique gold mine at my Flickr -

My New Finds

2009-08-01T13:12:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, I went shopping at my local vintage store, which unfortunately only has dresses, not very many shirts or ecspecially pants and skirts. But yesterday, my dream finally came true - I found a vintage shirt & skirt. I unfortunately can't have pictures of them up yet until I get a new camera, but I promise some soon =)

Flickr, Header, and Tumblr

2009-07-31T15:51:00.000-07:00

I have now officially made a Flickr, header, and Tumblr!
Here are the links to my Flickr & Tumblr -
Flickr - http://flickr.com/photos/rainbowamour/
Tumblr - http://rainbowrain.tumblr.com/
By now, you are probably thinking "Why is the address of this blog Rainbo Soleil, her Tumblr, Rainbow Rain, and everything else Rainbow Amour?
Well, it is actually much harder than you would think to come up with a name, and I went through several changes in the process, but I promise to keep my name Rainbow Amour for now on =).

So, I have finally almost finished my blog and will for now on post almost every day (or more).

Thank you very much for viewing my blog and please come again! :D

My Little Wishlist

2009-07-21T19:12:00.000-07:00

Unfortunately, I can not upload any photos onto a Flickr or this page until I get a camera, probably sometime between now and next week. But until then I will have to do everything else I can do with this blog (which is alot :D)
I will set up a layout as soon as possible, but most get permission first to use the images for it. So until then, keep a close eye out!

Welcome to Rainbow Amour! The word Amour is french for love (Even though that's the only word I know in french.) I am a girl who loves vintage fashion, hair, and make-up and will add a Flickr, Modepass, and (maybe) a youtube ASAP. I will also eventually add a website, but not until I get more well-known. I love style all the way from the 1920's-50's and currently have an Etsy called Vintagelostnfound. but, I have yet to add items.
I hope to be soon chatting with other vintage lovers and view the wonderful world of vintage blogging :)
