There are so many things on my wishlist right now (for those of you who haven't noticed, there's now a Wishlist tab on the top menu bar, and I update it almost daily.) Realistically, my budget simply can not keep up with my ever-growing wants, and I refuse to even try. I will not veer from my self-imposed monthly limit. One Shoulder Prom Dress

I am fortunate enough to not have had to start my life out with debt hanging over my head. I have no student loans to repay, no car payments. And no credit cards. I have a debit card linked to a checking account, into which a fixed amount of money goes in every month, and that is the money I allow myself to spend on, what I must admit, are non-essentials. I won't go into numbers and figures, but I'll tell you something I do know from first-hand experience. Even when I was "constrained" by a monthly budget three times what it is right now, there were just as many things on my wishlist I couldn't afford. 

It's been a hopping month over at Meri Vintage! Items have been flying out of the shop - this has certainly been the most busy month ever since we opened this spring. Check out the heart-meltingly amazing 1950s prom dress above. I'd give anything to squeeze into this beauty, but alas, it's in the shop for you to enjoy.

Leah and I have both recently added some new items, and sold a few of our faves. Even it's horribly depressing that we now live in different cities, this has greatly helped the merchandise selection in the store! We can now cover double the territory without depleting all the usual haunts. Leah picked up the beauty above from a friend - this blazer is unreal. Check out the black version Leah's keeping for herself - she put it up on Lookbook. It almost borders on dress-length. Stunning.view more

We've had a busy busy summer and fall here at Meri Vintage! What have we been up to, you ask? Well, Ashley has been busy helping stage an original production at a theatre in Huntsville, while Leah is preparing for her Birmingham debut as Janet in Rocky Horror! Lots of exciting things a-happening here.

What's new at the store, you might ask? Well, for starters, I've been trying not to take everything wonderful we lay our eyes on. Hence, you have access to this fabulous Gunne Sax peplum lace sweetheart-neckline beauty:

What to pair with it? How about this early-1960s gold and black brocade clutch? These are both fabulous transitional pieces for early to late fall.

Hello hello! It's been a while since we've posted (obviously). The blog also has a new look, thanks toShabby Blogs! Head over their way for some fabulous FREE blog templates. Love! Leah's blog is also rocking one of their designs.

What's new in our world? Well, not much, except that we're getting ready to part ways for a while. Leah's about to go back to college and open an exciting chapter in her life. It's so difficult to find friends with whom you're instantly comfortable, and friendship comes easy. We're like that. So, I'm obviously sad to see her go, but happy to be visiting a great friend in a unique, artsy, fabulous city.

On my side of things, Meri Vintage was tracked down by Omaha Mutual to be featured in their "aha moment" campaign! Specifically, they wanted to talk with my about launching an online photography business. I was happy to oblige, and met up with them during their stop in Huntsville.

Dying. That's the stage I'm at in my life right now. I'm absolutely dying. Whilst blubbering around on Facebook last night, an ad pops up on the side bar of a She & Him photo. Didn't think anything of it. As I was scrolling through the news feed, I see Birmingham, AL to my right. I felt a sudden jolt in my heart. It couldn't be. There was no way. I view the entire ad and bam.

After screaming around my house for about five minutes I dialed Ashley. I'm nearly peeing myself telling her the news. We made it a definite. On Saturday July 10th, 2010 at 8pm Ashley and I will be boppin' along to the wonderful groovin's of Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward. My heart is in a freenzy, I can barely breathe..what a day it's going to be.view more

LeBron James' No Headband Game And Justin Bieber's Tattoo Sleeve Top Our Headlines Of The Week

• The 2013 NBA Finals may have ended last night, but we'll likely never forgetLeBron James's No Headband Game this series.

• We were pretty sure that this was on the horizon, but now it's official. Justin Bieber has a tattoo sleeve now.

• The MuchMusic Video Awards had a major fashion moment this week. Both theladies and dudes turned it out on the red carpet.

• Vogue rolled out more of their gorgeousKaty Perry editorial this week. PLUS, an exclusive look at her morning beauty routine.

• We couldn't stop watching Miley Cyrus' "We Can't Stop" music video and its punchy monochromatic streetwear, so we broke it down look by look.

When Rihanna wore a shimmery money print dress back in March on her Diamonds World Tour, we had a feeling it'd only be a matter of time before other celebs followed suit. The look was just TOO good. And yep, we were right! Funnyman Will Ferrell sported the Benjamins head-to-toe during his unforgettable cameo at the 2013 MTV Movie Awards, and now Ciara's the latest to cash in on the trend. The singer posted a photo on Instagram on the set of her "I'm Out" video with the caption "#I'mOutVideo On The Way!" First of all, YES! Second of all, we gotta talk about that outfit....

Fader's newest cover girl is wearing a collared shirt, buttoned only at the top (killer abs alert!) and paired with high-tops for a statement-making look that only someone like Ciara can pull off. Although C's take on the trend might be more menswear-inspired, she and RiRi (and Will, too, while we're at it!) both decided to pair their outfits with sneakers. Hm...intriguing. Rihanna's holographic dress came courtesy of her sylist Adam Selman, and is custom—which sadly means we can't copy the look ourselves. However, if you want to channel Ciara in a dollar bill button-up, well, Topshop has an almost identical shirt righthere.

Ciara's "I'm Out" video premieres June 30, so we can catch her outfit in action soon. But in the meantime, we HAVE to know: which star's money motif look is best?!

It's not called Tebowing, it's called Travi$ Scott-ing.

For 30 years, the Reebok Classic Leather has been a trusty pal you can depend on; a beacon of strength, the default designated driver, the friend who gives you gives you sound relationship advice that you never listen to but know is totally on point. This is the kind of chum that when the time comes to celebrate a milestone, you drop everything to show up and rage. So when Reebok threw a party to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Classic Leather silhouette, you bet we were there.

The guest list was pretty rowdy—Ace Hood was there to perform, setting the place ablaze with the highlight “Bugatti” (which, if you stick your head outside at this moment, you’ll probably hear playing from a car window). One of Yeezus’ recent collaborators Travi$ Scottwas in the building to perform too, as well as Kirko Bangz and Doug E. Fresh.

Custom collaborations of the Classic Leather and some trusty favorites lined the wall, but we also got to peep the upcoming “City Classics” collection, which was curated by graffiti artist Stash. He gathered a few of his trusted artist friends to craft custom creations inspired by their cities, including Miami, LA, Chicago and NYC.

All this revelry got us reminiscing about the glorious history of Reebok Classic Leather. So we asked Todd Krinsky, the VP of Reebok Classics, Entertainment and Basketball to tell us about his first-ever pair.

Todd: I started selling shoes when I was 16 at Foot Locker. So I had a pair of Workouts, which were really big in the south but they weren’t as big up where I lived in the northeast. But I remember having a pair of white gum workouts. Those were my first Classics.

Of course we had to see if Travi$ Scott repped for Classics growing up, too.

Travi$: I used to rock ‘em, that good tennis fit. That was always the illest—slim jeans and the tennis fit.

Travi$ was wearing a pair of mustard yellow and white Classics that we couldn’t help but admire. “These are like the freshest ones,” he said. Then he jumped on the couch like a praying mantis and posed for us.

And just like that, it's over. After months and months of Playoff games, the Miami Heat have defeated the San Antonio Spurs, clinching the 2013 NBA Finals championship, meaning back-to-back wins for the franchise and stars LeBron James, Chris Bosh, and Dwyane Wade. Last night was all screams and popping bottles and high fives, but now, as die-hard NBA fans, today brings the cruel reality that we now have to wait until mid-October for the next league game and season. *SIGH* The good news is: just as fashion is growing in popularity amongst the hoops crowd, basketball is also catching on in the fashion world. In an effort to help all our style savvy Spalding fans through the off-season, our latest crop of "Stan Swag" is dedicated to the National Basketball Association.

The Rodnick Band revealed in May that the label has teamed up with Peanuts for a very special capsule collection. The clothes won't be available until September (only a little sooner than the new '13-'14 season, but well worth the wait), and we couldn't be more amped on it. Specifically this basketball Marcy print dress. Genius. What's more, we'd totally wear it with these giant letter-block Jeremy Scott x adidas Originals sneakers not just because they give classic high-tops a quirky, modern twist but also because adidas is the official uniform sponsor for the NBA.

We've already infused our fair share of jerseys into everyday wear (mostly throwback Kobe Bryant circa #8 andAllen Iverson for this girl), but we also like the idea (and look!) of FASHUN jerseys like this gold chain print one from Renowned Clothing. Even better, it's customizable!

If you're more in the market for accessories that you can tote with you all day every day, there are always basketball-themed iPhone cases like this hardwood court number we found at Society6. Sure, you could get a galaxy print Jumpman case or something plastered with your favorite team, but we like this case's subtlety and simplicity and that it reminds us of coach clipboards. Looking for a bigger statement? Look no further than thisElain Arsenault shopping bag which isn't just the same Spalding orange hue, it's made of the same dotted basketball material!

Finally, we'd be remiss to put together a round-up like this without mentioning the Stance Socks NBA Legends collection. The line features screen-print action shots of basketball greats from Julius Erving to Patrick Ewing,Larry Bird to Hakeem Olajuwon, but our favorite is undoubtedly House Of Style veteran Dennis Rodman.

Hang in there, hoops fans! At least we still have the Draft next week!

Customer Review:

Over the past 2 years I have made my daughters prom dresses myself…This year she begged me to buy her one instead. I was a little worried when she showed me this dress online that it would not be made well or would look horrible once we received it. Was I ever wrong!!! This dress was even nicer in person then online! It fit her perfectly and was very well made!! I have another daughter that is going to prom soon and I will surely be checking out this sellers merchandise again!
