That's such a pretty set Nikki, congratulatons! I love that seller's stock--they always have the nicest things.
Oh, and what do the shoes look like? Can you give us a hint?
Hurrah for friends who are late with Christmas gifts! I got an unexpected Amazon gift certificate and bought 2 pair of shoes, both were pretty steeply discounted.
Aerosoles Romeo in green. I've been looking at these shoes for months. The color perfectly matches one of my favorite 1940's...
Wow, Nikki! The hat and coat are great but the shoes! Those shoes make me clutch my metaphorical pearls in glee! How high are those heels anyhow?
I always love your pictures--you look fab.
Oh, thanks for telling me about the Victorian Society--how did they escape my notice all these years? I hope they update thier events section soon. There's nothing like an event to force you to finish sewing projects.
It is gorgeous, isn't it? I'm not in the market for a wedding dress but that reminds me of an old friend of mine who used to say that if she wasn't married by age 40 she was going to throw herself a wedding reception without the wedding; she'd show up in a wedding dress and have loads of good...
Well, I took my own advice and actually laid out an outfit before I went to bed last night. Not very vintage, but more imaginative than yesterday's effort so points there.
Knee length copper colored crinkle silk skirt with godets
Oatmeal colored (with brown undertones) scooped neck top...
I've always wanted one of those filmy, lacy edwardian gowns but I have no idea where you'd wear one nowadays outside of a film set.
Or this suit from the fashion show section of The Women (love the hat too)
Or a really fantastic Lilli Ann suit from the 40's. Someday I may...
I so wish Devotchka would tour somewhere vaguely near the East Coast--they're in Europe most of the spring it looks like. Argh!
I'm listening to Come Here--Kath Bloom (before I go to bed).
That dress is breathtaking and it is expensive but not nearly as bad as I'd have guessed. That site always has so many beautiful things--they've got an Adrian and a Charles James too.
I haven't visited this thread in awhile, everyone looks so great.
Ruby--that dress is so on my "to buy" list; Shearer was wearing the bing cherry colored version when I saw her in NYC so I was able to see it in person. Aren't you impressed with the quality for the price? So pretty and...
Thanks for the tutorial Nikki--your hair really does look a completely different kind of great with the waves, it's amazing.
I love how real we all are on this board--when you said you got up at 5 am 'cause you couldn't stand sleeping in all that anymore? I've done that more times than I...
You look great Paddy! I wish I needed a wooly scarf, it's freakishly warm here in Boston today (its forecast to be near 70). That jacket is particularly marvelous (I love the color), as are the canine accessories!
On topic, I am wearing a particularly boring, non-vintage outfit today--black...
