NancyLouise and Foofoogal - thank you so much!

Wire9Vintage - Wow - your Mum is beautiful! I really thought it was a studio portrait - she really looks like a movie star!

my first pair of vintage shoes

I got these lovelies on ETSY. They are a titch too long, but nothing a pair of insoles and perhaps some heel grips won't solve. I adore spectators and these ones have a 2 inch heel, so are actually wearable. Unlike the mega-high stiletto ones you see on the pin-up type clothing sites.

 

[HarlowQueen]

Oh they're beautiful! I'm dying of envy right now! What a find!

 

[NancyLouise]

I was just looking at shoes on Etsy (damning my genetics because I'll never find vintage shoes in my size). Those are super cute, I love the wood stacked heel

I've just purchased this beaut' from Etsy. Miss Golightly, if you ever want to liberate yourself from that hefty wardrobe of yours then I'll gladly take it off your hands

Spectator shoes like this are on my wish list!...I very rarely come across them and when I do they are either the wrong size or far too high like you say! Well Done Miss, they are lovely! Tups x

Another MM purse - this time a Morris Moskowitz "Mad Hatter":

I recently bought these 2 pairs of shoes on etsy - I can't decide which I love more. I have a small foot, sz6, but a very wide foot. It's hard finding vintage shoes that are wide enough.

I've just bought a green lambswool round-neck cardigan with pearl buttons from Benetton. I've been looking for something like that for ages, and seeing as they undercharged me, I might go and buy one in blue! They're all in the sale, in London stores at least, if anyone UK-based is interested. Sadly, they don't have any pictures on their website, though

I just picked these beauties up at modcloth.com.. same colors.. but more of a saddle shoe vs a spectator..

I'd been looking at this Jerry Silverman dress I would say for over a year and finally went for it:

It reminds me a little of Audrey's dress in Charade:

I can't show any pictures, but I just bought several gorgeous hair flowers from Ebay, in different styles and colours. Here's the shop: http://shop.ebay.co.uk/purplechaffinch/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p3686. If anyone's really bothered I can tell you which ones I got!

btw, this is NOT my shop- I'm not advertising!- just thought this might be of interest to many of you here. If you're in the UK these are really very reasonably priced. Just wish I had got myself organised and ordered these in time for Xmas- would have gone perfectly with the dresses I have lined up for the next few days

I love both of these. Giving it a go at crafting my own shoes has been on my mind due to it being hard for me to find vintage shoes myself...

pretty presents for myself

 

[LinaSofia]

What a fabulous dress smuterella! very glam!

Here's some of my recent ebay finds for my upcoming wedding!
these shoes are newly made, handmade by someone for London Fashion Week apparently...

these are original 50s white leather gloves

and a faux fur cape from the 60s! Which I hope will pass for 40s??

I'm going to wear all these on my wedding day at the start of March!

 

[Foofoogal]

Nice Lucite pull on that purse smuterella.

Welcome to the lounge LinaSofia. I love those shoes.

 

[Miss Golightly]

Foofoogal - is that the emerald green cardi you have been after for ages in your avatar? It's beautiful......
