Peeking Behind The Blogger Curtain

Vintage Danielle has been up and running since August of 2011, so quite recently. As I look through the older posts and pages, I got the impression that my readers might not really know who I am. I do have an About and My Family page but they only provide a quick peek. If you'll let me, I'd like to step out from behind the blogger curtain, just for a moment (like in Wizard of Oz) to share myself with you. Let's see, what can I say that hasn't already been said....

I am 21 going onto 22 on March 24 (Aries baby)
I'm more than ready yet terrified to graduate college. My whole life has been centered about school so it'll be strange to move on.
I was born with Nager syndrome, which is a rare craniofacial disease that includes underdevelopment of the facial bones/features and lack of the 3 little inner ear bones. I do wear tiny hearing aids and have had about 20 operations, I'll be having a corrective jaw surgery within the next two years (my mouth will be wired shut for 3-4 weeks, ahh!)
I'm self-conscious of my eyes, due to the syndrome, but I'm slowly trying to cope with it.
My mom is my rock and my main support system. She's always been so supportive and wants me to be happy. How lucky am I?
I'm the only child in my family and loved it! More Disney trips, ice cream sundaes, toys, and hugs for me :)
I'm more introverted than extroverted. Now you can say that it's due to my syndrome; I was shy as a child and it carried through into my early adults years OR it could be due to the fact that many people annoy me and I rather just be away from that. However, when I'm in a small group, I'm more myself.
I grew up watching I Love Lucy which started my love for all things vintage.
I always wanted to be a Broadway actress and live in NYC for a year.

I hope you enjoyed getting a clearer and deeper picture of who the girl behind Vintage Danielle is!

Pink Lipstick

Lately, I'm been gravitating towards lipstick than lip balm. With spring being only one month away, it's time to start adding more colors into our life, like pink!

Bright pink lipstick is becoming very popular again and I can see why: it's fun to wear and flattering to all skin tones.

Pink works wonderfully with her tan

So bubbly and fruity

Peach undertone looks amazing on her

Make Up Forever in Satin Fuchsia Sephora

Smashbox Be Legendary in Pout Beauty

Urban Decay Super Saturated High Gloss in Big Bang Sephora

Do you currently (or plan to) wear pink lipstick or are you afraid to go bright and bold?

Anthropologie Love

I love window shopping! I'm able to gather inspiration, ideas, and see if I can change what I already have to make like new. One of my all time favorite places to window shop is Anthropologie (eventually, when my career lifts off, I'd like to be able to shop there, the prices are high). Every time I visit, I see something fresh, creative, and unique and when I leave, I'm thinking of how can I replicate what I just saw.

I was able to take a few pictures so I could show you what I meant by inspiration. Please excuse the less than best quality, the photographs were taken by my lovely iphone. Have you ever visited Anthropologie? What's your impression of the store and its products?
