I finished my latest “me” project made from Melody Miller’s Ruby Star Vinyl fabric collection. It’s technically the bottom half of a Hazel dress that I added pleats and a waistband to. Soooo, it’s a Ruby Star Haznyl?
The waistband ended up being way too big so I have to belt it, which made the top all ruffly looking. I guess I don’t mind though. I need to stop measuring myself after eating a huge lunch or something because lately I can’t draft a proper fitting waistband to save my life! *sigh* I did do a pretty bang up job matching the side seams though so I’m happy with that. You win some, you lose some, I suppose.
Yeah I was totally freezing but my hair looked cute so who cares, right? I saw Tasha’s tutorial on how to do a vintage style backroll and I really wanted to try it out. There’s a way more complicated tutorial for the same look in this vintage hairstyle book I have and I could never get it right. Thank you Tasha for making sense of it for me! It works perfectly with one of my hair scarves, don’t you think?
It’s a hairstyle that looks especially magical with snow flurries mixed in 
I’m hoping to head to The Vermont Country Store at some point this weekend (weather permitting) to pick up some supplies for a WWII reenactment that I’m participating in soon. SO excited!
What are you up to this weekend?

You look so cute! I love the skirt and the socks and the hair roll :>
That border print is so perfect for that skirt!!! And I love the color combos going on here!
Thanks, Dear! xo
LOVE THIS!!!!! SO MUCH!!!
Thank you! I do too
Cuuuuuuuute! As always, you look gorgeous! Love the sweater, btw!
Aww thank you! I’m a huge fan of Old Man Sweaters haha! I reeaaallllly need to learn how to knit. …or find a sweater sponsor lol
Seriously, that fabric print is amazing!! What total fun. It’s really making me want to do something with a great border print. And the hairstyle looks adorable on you, and perfect with the snowflakes. Glad you liked it, yay.
Thank you, Tasha! Border prints are super fun. Melody Miller has some awesome ones. P.s. I’ve been a long time fan of your blog, but always a silent reader since I can’t leave a comment without the Name/URL option. Sorry about that
Huh, weird! I will have to investigate that, thanks for letting me know!
p.s. I fixed it just for you ♥
You are the best ever
Such a cute skirt and I love the photos, too! I am also drawn to your sweater— is it handmade?
Thank you! And no, unfortunately my sweater is a cheap store purchase since I don’t know how to knit
I need to learn though!!
So cute, the snow makes it so pretty:) your hair also looks adorable:)
thank you
Well that is just adorable!
Why thank you
Your skirt is great, I love the fabric. And your hair is lovely, I had to have a look at the tutorial.
Thank you
Oh, Rochelle, you have the most beautiful photos! Every single post is just perfectly shot. Congrats to you and your boy – you are a great team! The skirt is perfect for you, the hair is adorable, and you make early winter look much more scenic than it really is here!
Aww thank you!! Yeah he’s getting a lot better at taking photos
We are a good team.
Wow, you are braving the cold snow for us! It is such a beautiful set of pictures, and I must try that hairstyle. The skirt and your styling look great. I would never think to make a skirt from vinyl.
Thank you! The hair style is super easy, so you should definitely give it a try. The fabric is actually a cotton/linen blend from Melody Miller’s collection called Ruby Star Vinyl. One of the prints from the collection has Vinyl records on it
How lovely! The snow falling around you just makes the photos even prettier! We had our first snowfall on Friday, but it’s all gone now
Your skirt is so pretty and I LOVE your hair up like that!
Thanks, Sarah! Yeah most of that snow is melted now too actually. It’s quite “warm” today at 45 degrees F lol (or like 8 degrees C? I think?)
Oh my gosh it looks SO COLD!! The skirt is beautiful and so is your hair and the snow is super pretty! Oh winter… I forgot about you! Stay warm, and have fun at the WWII reenactment! How Fun!
That was like a record fast photo shoot because it WAS pretty cold lol. I’m SO excited to do this reenactment. The 40s is one of my favorite eras
LOVE the skirt. It suits you perfectly! x
Thank you!
Cute skirt, cute hair, and oh the snow – how pretty!
Thanks
You are as pretty as a picture and your hair looks fabulous. Love the skirt and as always, the photos look amazing
Thanks, Julia! <3
So lovely! Such a great use of hazel. It is by far one of my favorite dress patterns! I am gonna have to try this out!
Yeah the Dirndl style skirt on the Hazel makes this a suuuuuper easy skirt to make. You don’t need a lot of yardage either. Nice quick and easy project
Ha – I was going to ask you if it was really made out of vinyl, but I see that it’s a print with records on it. You really have a lovely way with prints, and I admire your style.
Thank you! Yeah it’s a cotton/linen blend fabric from a collection called Ruby Star Vinyl. I should have specified that
Super cute! and I want snow!!
Come up to Vermont and get some
lovely skirt!
Thanks!
