That is very awesome, and for free! Lucky! Is it 50s?

I just got a similar-ish shaped bag for my birthday, from my mum, who got it from an antiques fair. But I have no idea when it might be from as I am terrible at dating anything. It could be from the 80s for all I know (not that I mind, I think it is cool anyway!)

Here is a picture -

It's gold leather with the little leopard inserts. No name or label. It's lighter gold leather inside, with a metal-zipped inner pocket. Any ideas when it might date from? I probably should post this in the "Help me date this item" thread...if I can find it!

CUTE! Wanna trade? I really don't know when mine is from either but it was with a ton of 50's NOS Lane Bryant stuff so I assume it's from that same era.

Bella, I'm not sure what this says about me, but I love your new mixer set most of all! With your purse a close second!

It says you have good....TASTE!

I would say early 1960s or late 1950s Kelly bag on both of them. :eusa_clap

Farryl Robbin makes some of the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. I have 4 pairs, and I love each and every one of them. They are the only heels that I own that i can actually wear for more than a few hours.

Daisy, thanks for the feedback on Faryl Robin shoes. I'm excited to get them now. I have trouble with with my feet and can't wear a lot of high heels, so I'm happy to hear this from you. I've heard good things about the comfort of the shoes, but never wanted to pay $150.00 for a pair of shoes that I may not be able to wear.

I won this, I do like the neck detail.

 

[TheKitschGoth]

Oooh I finally get to join in!

I got these two patterns on EBay.

And found this hat for just £4.50 in a local charity shop!

So I'm thinking of making one of those dresses in a green silky fabric with dark blue accents to match the hat, what do you think?

 

[BegintheBeguine]

I think: beautiful!
All the items are so fab! Everyone has such good taste. If my house were big enough, I'd invite all of y'all to be my housemates!

My first post! (well besides possible the longest introduction ever)

I bought these yesterday as well as a beautiful coat i still have to photograph!

The girl in Alannah Hill (an Australian brand, very very girlie and vintage inspired) had them on and i lamented because i can't afford Alannah hill but turns out they were from the store down the road. I wanted them in red but alas again not in my size! (37's).

The black ones are beautiful though! Such a high heel too!

No problem BeBop!! I know what you're going through with feet problems. My feet swell, and the doctors don't even know why, but it's bad enough that if I'm out for more than a few hours I usually bring an extra pair of shoes in a bigger size. Of course, I could wear sneakers and be much more comfortable, but they just don't go with any of my outfits!!!

Fleur, your new bag is really cute!! Happy belated birthday

Kitty, your purchases are awesome too!! I really love the first set, oooh pink flowers!! Me want!!! (by the way, I know I've said this before but your avatar still cracks me up every time I see it!)

Kitsche you really scored big with your purchases!! What wonderful patterns!

Goldwyn that dress is lovely!

Great shoes sasky, and welcome to the lounge

I'm having a real big problem. There are two pair of shoes out on ebay that I would love to bid on but the seller refuse to ship to sweden. I have even tried to bribe her. [huh]
Do anyone know any company that can help you bid on US only auctions?
I would love to display the shoes on this page, but as it seems I'll guess I have to post them at the one that got away

Still embracing the pink and black lifestyle I see! lol

Klara,

Does she say why she won't ship to Sweden? How strange.

 

[LadyStardust]

Thank you Daisy and Mary, you are too, too sweet. If I could blush I would, but I've never been able to, so a smiley will have to suffice.

TheKitschGoth- It's good to see you around, and great buys! What a pretty hat, that blue is just gorgeous! And I'm just mad for that red dress pattern! All of them are beautiful, and I wish you good luck with them!

goldwyn girl- What a sweet dress! I like that it's subdued, but like you said, the special collar really makes it stand out, and have a character all on its own! Very nice!

Kitty T- Those are absolutely wonderful, I think they're completely worth whatever you paid! I actually can't decide if I can pick a favorite, they're both just delightful! The blue is so perfectly deco, and I just love the pink flowers and contrasting centers.

Fleur De Guerre & Bella Hell- Those are both great bags! What marvelous style!

 

[Foofoogal]

I found it intriguing (my new favorite phrase via Sharon Osbourne) on Talent show. lol

 

[klara]

Klara,

Does she say why she won't ship to Sweden? How strange.

She just doesn't want to. I even offered to pay 40USD in a "handling fee" hoping that it would change her mind, but no.
So, If anyone is wants 40USD just talk to me

 

[goldwyn girl]

Thank you Daisy and LadyStardust, I'm looking forward to getting it.

Everyone's purchases are so lovely, and this thread moves so fast nowadays! I'm having a really hard time keeping up! One would think now that I work from home it would be easier to keep up, eh!? Anyhow, I had all but given up on winning any dresses on ebay anymore. Everything I want goes for so much! Until last night! I got this dress for $29.00!! Far, far, far below my top bid!

...and here are some things I got at the Reading WWII Airshow. Not pictured is probably my favourite out of everything. A deadstock WWII vintage women's work jumper in pale blue with little puffed sleeves. I'll have to get the boyfriend to take a picture of me in it sometime. Taking a picture on a hanger really doesn't do it justice.

and the pattern which the seller gave me for free!

Yeah....I was bored and taking pics of stuff in the hotel room in DC after Reading while the boyfriend was at a conference....
