Memorial Day Weekend

Hey everyone,

I know I am a little late posting this post, but I have been super busy as our store starts to grow!  What an amazing couple months PipLey Vintage has had!!  We have many new arrivals in, and our customer base just keeps on getting larger.  I couldn't thank God enough for blessing us with slow but constant growth this first year!
 




It was a little bit chilly in Indy this weekend for Memorial Day.  Usually it is so scorching hot at the race track that people are having heat strokes and I think this might be the first year where people had to wear jackets to the race!


We spent a nice quiet weekend as a family just having some quality time!  We went to my mom's house for a cookout on race day and Greg tried to teach the girls a little golf on Monday!  It is the sweetest thing seeing the man you love be such an amazing father!  I hope and pray that my girls find a man just like their daddy someday!






I hope everyone had an amazing and fun weekend like we did!  Don't forget to check out our store for some great new pieces!!

Warm Weather!!!

Hey everyone,

I am so happy to say we are finally getting warm weather consistently!  I can't remember a time where it took Spring this long to arrive.  I don't know about you all, but I am so excited for a long weekend coming up!  I live in Indy so it is a very exciting time right now in the city with all the events leading up to the 500 race!  I love feeling everyone's energy and excitement.
me and my girls

new arrivals coming soon!!

We have been pretty busy around here trying to grow our store and make sure we take full advantage of the nice weather!  We have some exciting things happening at the store right now with new arrivals coming in, and finally stepping out onto the scary ledge that is international shipping!!  We are growing so fast and I have only God and you (my supporters) to thank for that!

The girls have been having so much fun with the nicer weather and it has really helped mommy since we are not stuck inside all day!!  We have been going to the zoo, playing in sprinklers, going for long walks, and waiting for my dad to open his pool so we can start swimming!!


did not realize Pippa only had one shoe on till after the picture!

She loves putting my socks on and her sisters shoes!!




I hope you all have a great week and a fabulous weekend!!

Happy Mother's Day!!

Hey everyone,

This is a special weekend for me and many other women out there!!  We finally get to be celebrated for all the things we do for our families!!  Seriously why is there not a Mother's Day once a month??  So my husband asked me what I wanted  for Mother's day this year and was surprised when I explained a whole day with no kids!!  He couldn't understand how I wanted a whole day away from the kids....lets see honey, do you have them 24-7...nope, do you get to listen to them scream all day long...nope, do you work in a nice quiet office where everyone listens to you...yep, well then that explains it!!!




I love my kids to death, but sometimes a woman needs some time ALONE, and not JUDGED for it!! I know all of you feel me on this one!!



Me and my Girls!!


I have been really busy working on getting the store growing and I am so happy to say that it really seems to be taking off lately!  It is such a struggle being a stay at home mom and run an online business as well!  I only have time to work when the girls are sleeping and that is not very long!  I love what I do and I really appreciate you all supporting me and my boutique!  THANK YOU!!

Here are some of our newest arrivals!
Love these!!!

Have a great weekend ladies and celebrate the women in your life!!

Love,
PipLey

Styling PipLey!!

Hey Lovelies!!

So I saw this on Facebook the other day and really thought it summed up my part of the country pretty well!!


 

Not sure about where you all are at, but I am so over this weather and teasing me with 80 degree days and then spitting snow 24 hours later!!!  It is so hard to wear adorable outfits when the weather is bi-polar!!

With that said on the days we had that were beautiful I finally got some pictures taken of me wearing our newer items, and paired them with other items in the store so you can build a whole look!!  I seriously love my job and playing dress up in my own store!

Here is one of my favorite looks for a lunch date or church.... I am wearing our Southern Belle Ombre skirt paired with our Whisper Softly Collar Top

The next look is great for a day on the town shopping, or hanging out with friends at a cookout!!  Pretty much an everyday look!  I am wearing in this photo our Fruit Strip maxi skirt, paired with our Simplicity Jersey top in mint and a vintage jean shirt!

Next is just a bundle of looks from our store!  I try and pair all our items and show you what they look like on!  Just follow our Facebook page or our Twitter to see many looks!!


I really hope you all have a great week, and enjoy some nice weather!!

Love,
PipLey

April Showers bring....snow??

Hey everyone,

I don't know about you, but I am so sick of this weather in Indy!!  Yesterday I was wearing a tank top and shorts (80 degrees) and today I am wearing jeans and a winter coat with snow flakes!!!  I am seriously in shock!  The girls and I were so excited to finally have some warm weather and play outside, go for walks, go to the park.....and then it drops 50 degrees in one day!  Welcome to good ol' MidWest!!

Anywho...rant over!  I have been getting some new items in for the store and really excited as the store has started taking off a bit!  I find myself packaging up orders more often and the girls get super excited when we get to head to the post office!  I can't thank you all enough for your continued support and ideas!  I love what I do and I really can't see myself stopping anytime soon!

My grandma who fell and broke her other hip is doing better.  She is back in the nursing home and has her good days and bad days.  I really never thought she was going to make it through another surgery and recovery, but she is one strong 93 year old!  I love that I get my strength and determination from her!

The girls are growing so fast and my little Pippa has really been talking a lot more lately.  I love hearing her put words together and trying to figure out what the heck she wants from me!  My little Finley is really getting into fashion and dance!  I couldn't be more proud of that!

Sorry this is a short post, but my kids are going crazy in the other room and I need to see what is going on!!  I will post some pics of our new items soon.  You can always check them out at our store PipLey Vintage

Happy April!!

Hey everyone!

These last few months have been very trying on me and my family!  My 93 year old grandmother who fell and broke her hip in December fell a week ago and broke her other hip while in the nursing home.  I have been so busy going back and forth to the hospital that I have neglected my blog.  I am so sorry, but I ask that you understand and say a prayer for our family!!

A very strong bond between us!!


With all that being said I am so excited it is April and warmer weather (in Indiana) is right around the corner! I realize some of you are lucky enough to have warm weather all year long......I am going to introduce some of my new favorite items for spring and also show you some up coming items!!  I have been so blessed to run an adorable boutique right out of my home so I can still spend time with my girls.  I just wanted to thank all of you for your support and kind words during this awesome adventure!

some of my favorite picks for Spring/Summer from our store

With everything going on we still managed to have a very happy Easter!!  My girls are very girly and love dressing up.  So even though Finley was sick we still got all dressed up and went to church.  She didn't get to have an egg hunt, but we will make up for that this weekend hopefully!!

Some up coming items to the store include these adorable maxi dresses, and I seriously can't wait to get my hands on them!!  I don't think they will be lasting long at all!!



Hope everyone has a great rest of the week and a good weekend!

Love,
PipLey

One busy momma!!

Holy cow....what a couple of weeks we have had!

I have been so busy with everything going on that I have neglected the blog a little!  So sorry, but I am so excited for what is to come!  We have had a pretty good winter so far (as good as it can be in Indiana) and with being trapped in the house it has helped me think creatively and for the future!  

We are continuing to  build an audience with our online store, and thinking of some new ventures to come!  Our social media sites have been growing steadily and I love waking up and seeing new followers and especially hearing what they have to say about my store!  The comments from everyone are what really keep me excited and loving what I do!  We are currently working on some new styles to bring in to the store and we are ever evolving into what my vision for the store was!  

We will be traveling some the next couple of weeks for family events and after that I will be hunkered down and really figuring out where to take our store from here!  I am so thankful to have such an amazing husband who supports my dreams and puts up with all my crazy ideas!  He really is the perfect match for me!
 
I am loving our new maxi skirts for Spring!  This adorable maxi skirt will go with just about anything, but I wanted to pair it with an older top we carry and really add a pop of color!  


I am also loving how Spring these floral skinny pants are!!


Also loving the red lips right now....I use to be so afraid to wear red lipstick until my little Finley told me to "just rock it mommy"  and now I do!!



As usual I will post a picture of my little inspirations that keep me going everyday!!




Hope everyone has an awesome week, and visits our store!!  New arrivals up, and more to come!!  now GO BUY!!!!

Love,
PipLey
