1941.

I don't know what I'm wearing tonight. We are going to a New Year's party with 50's/60's music, so it will have to be danceable! I wish I had this exact outfit from NYE 1941 that I found on flickr. I love every last detail, especially those little stars!

What are your plans for tonight?

You Are So Magnetic.

I don't do that much shopping online, but I do love to check out etsy and ebay for guilt free window shopping. Noir Ohio is one of my favourites! The styling is so cool, I want to look this badass while wearing frilly 80's dresses.

She also has a blog, check it out here.

Mind-Blowing.



These are possibly the coolest vintage boots ever.
If you are a size 6, and have $115 kicking around...why don't you own these yet?!?

So I Can Live Vicariously...

Please please please can someone who is a small buy this dress?!?!
The neck detailing is killing me.


What A Long Way We've Come.

Check out this vintage ad, it's quite the contrast to today's diet endorsing celebrities.

Dream boots...


I will pray to the thrifting gods until the day a pair of white lace up boots comes to me.
For now, I'm just gazing at these on Etsy.

Why Buy Vintage?

Obviously, my love for thrifted and vintage goods runs deep.
Rarely an outfit post goes by without some vintage or thrifted item (if not everything!)
But I'm not the only one! I'm not sure how old this video is, but I really like the first and last oufits showcased.
Sooooo good. old clothes>modern clothes

I am seriously considering some screencaptures of the last woman's dress! How amazing would that be for a wedding? I'm not getting married anytime soon, but knowing how picky I am, I think I need to start narrowing down ideas.
I had actually been considering a hi-low hem, since I am vertically challenged and don't want to lose my legs to 4 feet of satin and tulle.

These have a quiet, understated simplicity to them, good choice of models too. Photographed by Ben Weller, styled by Phoebe Arnold, featuring models Julia Hafstrom & Jed Texas for A Perfect Guide S/S2011.

Wouldn't It Be Nice?

How fun is the bathing suit?!?
I think I'd be happy wearing it on a nice cool dip...or even taking a shoreside stroll.
Someone needs to make a modern version, quick!
And the saddle shoes/halter combo is so cooly non-chalant. Amazing!
