I'd been eyeing these on etsy for the longest.

LD

I LOVE these. Tom&Jerry was my favorite show as a kid.

Miss LaurieMarie - your curling iron looks a lot like my grandmothers one which my Mum gave to me the other week - this one is close to 100 years old:

My Mum tried to curl my hair with it when I was around 10 years old and she melted part of my fringe - it had to be cut off so I had a wonky fringe for quite some time!

Yikes! That's why I'll just be using this one for show.
Upon closer inspection, this one has rubber handles and it has MARCEL and REMIER stamped on it. Made in Germany.

It also came with some very very scary-looking thinning shears. They will also be 'display only'!
In my dream home I'll have a nice dressing table with all these on display *sigh*

Yesterdays finds:

dress clip

pocket mirror. I don´t really need one but I couldn´t resist the kitty!

I wish the belt was for sale also. Any ideas on how to make this summer dress suitable for fall?

I'd wear it with a cream white (faux)fur 3/4 jacket, a nice thin leather belt..... nude tights and cute lace-up shoes. To finish it off, some gorgeous gloves and a clutch!

You could go more mod 60s with a black roll neck jumper underneath and black opaque tights and knee high black boots? Perhaps more a Winter look than Autumn though.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I actually have an offwhite faux fur jacket and I don't get to wear it often.

I haven't bought this (yet) but I want it. I really really want it.

Trashy Diva $330.

 

[maristella]

I really, really want it too now, Lolly! Such a beautiful winter dress. When I get better at sewing I might attempt to make a similar one (like that's going to happen!!).

 

[Miss sofia]

I feel rather ill having looked at that dress! I want it sooo badly.

I haven't bought this (yet) but I want it. I really really want it.

Now isn't that a Carole Lombard/Myrna Loy cocktail dress!?!

 

[deadpandiva]

That dress take my breath away. It's amazing.

This dress is a little on the big side so I hope my tailor can do a job on it for me:

Samuel Winston Dress:

Cocktail Shaker:

This 1933 Chicago World Trade Fair vase:

And two sheets of music - I love the Art Deco artwork:

This would be a wonderful dress for Christmas parties. Now I am drooling. It's beautiful and it looks so warm.

Perhaps a petticoat underneath would make it warmer too?

A little time ago, I went to the seaside to relax, and in a thift shop in a nearby village I stumbled upon this skirt from the 50s: Brownish and warm – and regardles of it's modesty, I really like it and can't help wearing it all the time these days...!

 

[Miss Golightly]

A lovely peach coloured sequined cardigan - great for the upcoming party season:

 

[deadpandiva]

Oh no! Maybe this works?

And it was only $50, with free shipping. Really reasonable and it turned out unbelievably well... she's very talented and it fits literally like a glove.

I got a skirt from her. It fits perfectly and her prices are really reasonable. I may have to get that blouse too. It is lovley.

 

[deadpandiva]

I'm desperate for this skirt DPD but everywhere it's in the sale, they don't have my size! I am tempted to try the Small, but if it doesn't fit, I'll be very upset. I can't handle disappointment.

I had too send the small back but I measured the waist. It was about 27.5-27.75 inches. It was really easy to do the return with them. They shipped the larger size a day after they received my return.

Lolly that would be perfect for Christmas Cocktails at the Hotel Carrington

I was hoping to try these Oliver Goldsmith sunglasses on before buying them but after trying to track them down in New York and Nice, France to no avail I took a chance buying them online - luckily the "Sophia" (named after La Loren and worn by Grace Kelly) suited me and I love them! There is no logo on the side of the shades which makes a nice change - I went for black with ivory sides:

Oliver Goldsmith famously made the sunglasses Audrey Hepburn wore in Breakfast at Tiffany's and has now re-released them:

I am so tempted.....
