Miss Golightly that dress it to die for.
My boyfriend just got me this hat for a present and I'm in love. It's a little union made fake fur beret.

My favourite from a great haul is this modern but decidedly vintage looking wool suit for $20. it is from a UK company called Precis Petite.

That suit would have been expensive new! I used to work in a store where they also sold Precis Petite, and a pair of trousers there could easily cost £100.

GinFizz you just always look great!

Great haul indeed Kymeratale! I hardly ever see vintage at those great prices over here!

I bought this 40s hat on ebay the other day.

 

[Miss Golightly]

Ginfizz - thank you! I love your new hat - I have a thing for berets anyway! I've always meant to say that your hair in your avatar is amazing!

LinaSofia - that is one sweet little hat!

I saw these on Net-A-Porter and fell in love - if I could image my perfect shoes that would go with everything - well this would be them - my new Jimmy Choo's - silver canvas with leather trim:

Miss G - love the Logan dress, very glamorous and yes, toasty, which is always a bonus. The shoes are to die for and would work so well with your style. Could they be an investment piece, as they are a classic style?

Linasofia - You always find such cute hats and you wear them so well, i love seeing all the pictures of your hairstyles and hats on your blog. I particularly like the braiding/frogging on the hat, so sweet!

Thank you Miss Sofia! I was after a pair of kitten heels with a nice pointy toe for ages - checked out loads of different vintage sites for a vintage pair but could never find quite what I wanted (or in my size!!!!!!) so when I saw these they ticked every box - and more! Yes, they are definitely a investment piece and they will be worn with practically everything so well worth every penny!

 

[Miss sofia]

Actually they will look lovely with capri pants or ankle length trousers. I actually have an old pair of my Mums sixties kitten heels, sadly they are soo pointy and about a size too small. I tend to wear them for dress up in front of the mirror if the truth be told! That's about as far as i can walk in them!

I treated myself to this little beauty. 1930's coral necklace with gold barrel clasp. I love coral. It will be perfect for the Summer.

Everyone's finds are so wonderful!

That's what I was thinking too - they are great all rounders! That's such a shame about your Mum's kitten heels - I do the same with a few pairs of vintage shoes that I have yet to break in - I stick them on and admire them in the mirror - then take around two steps to the chair to sit down and pull them off - much to the relief of my poor feet!

I love your coral necklace - very Summery! I got one a couple of years ago from the Daily Fail - it was a copy of a necklace worn by the Queen when she was younger - very pretty!

A Jonathan Logan fleece wiggle dress - toasty!:

This is absolutely lovely. Jackie K would have definitely worn it on a special occassion.

I'm so glad it's not just me hobbling round the boudoir. I just hope my nieces have nice dainty feet, so they can have them, or at least play dressing up, when they come and visit.

Actually i have seen some lovely jewellery advertised in the Mail, they went through a spate of selling lovely vintage jewellery, copies of famous pieces like your necklace. I just never got it together to collect the coupons, orindeed to buy any full stop.

Actually i saw some beautiful white coral 30's beads to die for today, i may well have to treat myself....although i shouldn't, but they were really so lovely. I was very proud of my willpower when i walked away!!

Hummingbird pin - possibly 50s or 60s judging by the pin back

1960s Vanity Fair nightgown

1950s Avon Cotillion bath oil - I cleaned it out and put my Neutrogena bath oil in it.

1940s House of Stuart rouge

 

[katiesparkles]

is the rouge still useable after all these years?

i love the avon bath oil bottle! i'm sure it looks great in your bathroom!

 

[ginfizz]

I love old avon bottles! I have quite a few myself. Some of them are still full of the old perfumes and some I've refilled. I feel like they always look so cute on my little vanity.

 

[Vera Godfrey]

I love the Avon bottle too!

 

[Miss Golightly]

Lauren - thank you - I can't wait to wear it!

Miss Sofia - There was another offer in The Fail of a bow diamante brooch that I ordered which never turned up and for some reason I never chased them for it - ah well!

Those coral beads sound divine - you have such restraint Miss S!!!!!!!!!

 

[deadpandiva]

I know I could probably make one but I might have gone insane in the process. This was $36.00 with free shipping til the end of Feb from Candy Violet.

 

[LinaSofia]

some really great finds ladies! Love the coral necklace Miss S, I've been wanting one like that for ages!

Isn't it nice when that January salary finally arrives... haha. I could finally pay for this 50s silk wiggle dress that I had reserved on Etsy. I am thinking will be great for spring & summer special occasions. I actually bought it with an upcoming christening in mind.

I also bought these vintage specs from Dead Men's Spex on Ebay (and having my prescription put in). My first true vintage specs actually

Other smaller ebay purchases in the last couple of weeks include:
an egg coddler!

and a violin rhinestone brooch
