Little Girl Chic!

It's never too early to start dressing beautifully! These adorable young ladies already know that classic schoolgirl chic is always cool! Don't you wish all children would look and behave like this? Let's start a trend! Who could we get as our spokes model? The latest Disney Channel Pop Princess? Hmmm...

This is the sweetest little coat in the prettiest shade of dusty rose! It's from the
50's or 60's, and is fully lined and made of wool to keep your special girl toasty warm. Such a nice way for her to look for church, a winter wedding or a dressy birthday party!

What girl hasn't worn Mary Janes? I remember a favorite pair I had just like these with a peal button on each strap (my early Chanel attempt?) Vintage Patent leather appropriately from Vintage Jane!



Be Stylish, No Matter What Your Age!

Perfectly Suited!

I am swooning over this Jackie-O style suit! Perfect for a second wedding or just attending a special event, its classic lines are so lady-like!

Then I found this 1960's vintage suit for sale on Etsy! It's made of the finest winter white wool boucle and still has the tags attached! The jacket has bracelet length sleeves and a genuine fur collar, and has a feminine belted bow and sits atop an ultra chic pencil skirt. This suit features all the hand finishes of fine couture detailing. If you visit ReThrival Vintage, they have lots of interesting information about this ensemble.

Be chic today!

Fabulous Flapper!

The 1920's brought about a huge change in fashion! Short bobbed hairdo's, higher hemlines and certainly more showing of skin! I love the intricate beadwork in style back then with all of the Art Deco designs and glitz. I found this intriguing image of a sexy Ziegfeld Girl (and many others) at a place I love to browse for lovely vintage photos...My Vintage Vogue.

I was amazed when I ran across this beyond beautiful beaded gown. Looking like it came right off of the Ziegfeld stage is this insanely detailed piece purchased by the seller, Kiss or Fix, from two eccentric sisters from Beverly Hills. What stories could this dress tell? Outrageous!

Be shocking today!

Holiday Planner #2

I know it's still early, but here's an inspiring idea for your holiday mantel to consider. Aren't these luscious blossoms just stunning in this collection of tea pots? If you are not using your tea or coffee service, why not use them as vessels for big red blooms to show your spirit this season. Fuzzy cockscomb, traditional poinsettias, or even as mass of grocery store carnations would look beautiful in these!

If you don't already own a silver

service, go check out this delightful set from Chrissys Vintage Goods. The set includes the coffee and tea pots, and the cream and sugar, and has some slight tarnishing for extra

vintage charm.

Happy Holiday Planning!
