I was watching that yellow dress Miss G, and umm-ing over whether to buy! I'm glad it's gone to someone more decisive

Aw thanks Kate - I just stumbled across it and really liked the colour and cut and it was on sale, so why not?! Won't get to wear it for a couple of months though but it'll be there for when the weather gets finer!

Congrats on your wedding first of all Faith!!

And those ear rings are wonderful. I have been on a green kick here lately, and this post added to my fascination.

Just scored two great pairs of shoes on ebay. One was advertised as 30s but they are definatley mid to late 20s. The others are green velvet from mid to late 40s. If either don't fit me, I will be selling them n my etsy store when it opens soon

Also won this amazing 1920s, beaded crepe dress. I love the panels at the front.

Wow Swinggal! Those are some seriously great wins! Well done

Nice Ebay finds Swinggal!
Congrats.

Thanks Happy about the first pair of shoes. Getting harder to find shoes from that era and that are wearable.

SwingGal, did you get that dress off Etsy? I wouldn't swear to it with 100 % accuracy, but I think that dress was in my favorites! Great minds think alike!

For the record, I had it in there as an "inspiration piece" to help me stay on my diet.

Two purchases and a gift. Another vintage blogger friend of mine got this vintage hat, but was too small for her head. It was a little tight on my noggin as well, but it'll do after I get my hair thinned (I hope). Today I also managed to buy a matching skirt:

I also found a 2012 Gil Elvgren pin-up calendar to hang in the kitchen.

And I have just bought my very first ever PETTICOAT, black, double layer chiffon, yards and yards of fluff . Contrary to what I was told, does not itch or scratch my legs. I am totally in love . I had been a little worried how it was going to turn out - maybe it would make me look fat or frumpy, but no no no , it is spectacular!
Thank you Powder Room ladies, I got my notion on where to lok for it from you.

As always, lovely finds! I particularly enjoy yours', Swingal, for obvious reasons! I always have shoe envy for those who can fit original 20s shoes - I've only ever found three pairs that fit me!

Love Primark tights, so cheap and always fund (comfortable as well I might add)

Leather gloves

They were larger sizes too. 8.5 which is me, somtimes to 9 in vintage shoes. Whats size are you? I can keep a look out.

I Have been admiring this 30's style Evening culottes Suit from the iconic 1970's BIBA store

[Faith Rudd]

I can't believe I got this suit for less than £40 including shipping! There are a few repairs that need doing but it needs pressing but it will be lovely!

 

[Miss Golightly]

I couldn't resist this dress - I love that late 50's/early 60's style of a plain bodice and pouffy skirt!

 

[Miss sofia]

OOh yes, what a lovely colour Miss G!

DPD - i adore the bracelet, so beautiful and glamorous.

Faith Rudd - such a steal and such a lovely suit!
