Magazine Monday: Basket Weave

Spring Trend: Woven accessories are showing up everywhere, from shoes, to handbags, to necklaces.  And while they are au courant and of the moment, they certainly have a lot of vintage and retro elements.  Check out our original vintage pieces that inspired what is in stores today.  (and on a side note, we have the Christian Dior Cannage bag in this clipping in leather, both in black and brown!)

Magazine Monday: The Short Sleeve Sweater

Short sleeve and sleeveless sweaters are an easy way to transition from winter to spring, or vise versa.  Here Marie Claire shows us how to wear a short sleeve sweater with out looking frumpy or out of style.  Make the short sleeve sweater edgy by wearing with a leather skirt or a skirt with other tough materials, like mesh.  Then wear some youthful and whimsical colored heels for a look that is put together, but also modern and fresh.  It’s definitely not your grandmothers sweater!

Magazine Monday: Antique White Lace Blouse

Antique White Lace BlouseWhile you might not thin of wearing a white linen blouse to a cocktail party, Lucky Magazine shows us how to do it.  Take the feminine, lady like blouse and add a daring, bright bold skirt in a sophisticated shape, like a pencil skirt or a godet skirt.  It is best not to pair the ladylike blouse with a fuller for risk of looking too prim.  Balance out your  accessories with a classic pearl necklace, and sexy heels, both of which up the dressiness of your attire and make the outfit cocktail appropriate.

Magazine Monday: Spring’s Trickiest Trend, the bra top

I know you thought this trend was difficult to pull off, but paired with a cardigan (wear it buttoned up if you’re still feeling insecure), the bra top goes from risque to demure.  Bra Trend

Our vintage Emilio Pucci bras, in bright retro prints, are the perfect piece to showcase this trend.

Wear with cigarette pants and channel Audrey Hepburn or Marilyn Monroe.  Wear with skinny jeans, or leather pants for a 1980s Madonna throwback.

Magazine Monday

Monday’s always seem to be the start of a long week and are always sluggish. Why not spice them up with great finds like VINTAGE FINDS: LACE DRESSES.

As seen in this Lucky Magazine article vintage finds, lace dresses are on everyone’s wish list now! Especially with the Holiday season approaching why not dress up in Lace. When looking for lace vintage dresses there a few things to keep in mind.  Never pay attention to the size, since these items are vintage always try on various sizes even if they seem like they wont fit.  Always think of creativity when shopping vintage, if a lace dress has sleeves remember you can always cut the sleeves off and end up with a lace LBD which cost you a fraction of the price at a dept. store!
