Ladies,

I am thinking of buying this purse this week (off Craigslist). Just from the sheer shape (and extra shoulderstrap), how would you date it? Not down to a T of course... it's a Whiting & Davis.

Hope it's okay to post my request in this thread!

I found out some more info about the powder box:
James Kent Old Foley

Maybe it could be useful to someone else as well if you stumble upon an item by Old Foley Pottery.

Nice bag! Looks like you would get a lot of use out of it - my guess would be it's from the 80's - have you decided to buy it?!

I got this Seafolly swimsuit off ASOS - thought I'd get it now while it's still available:

That's a gorgeous swimsuit, Miss Golightly - I've just put the gingham boy leg on my wish list !

Thank you Bunny! The gingham number is gorgeous too - Seafolly has some great designs - I had to double check - and check again - just to make sure I was buying the one I wanted!

Oooh, I've been after a Seafolly onepiece or maillot for ages, but since I haven't been on holidays for ages either I haven't taken the plunge !
It's gorgeous Miss G!

For a while I was unable to find any cute vintage dresses that fit me but I have been finding a great deal lately.

That is a truly beautiful dress DP! I can never find dresses i love in my size - they always end up being my sisters' size -_- and so end up being her dresses.

Your new dress is sweet as sugar.

Deadpandiva, I love your new Summer dress!

I've bought quite a bit recently, went on a vintage shopping spree. ;0 Excuse the silly photos, as they're from my blog.

Late 50s/early 60s shirtwaist dress

Late 50s/early 60s black taffeta dress

Assorted vintage brooches and lucite fan earrings

Bettie Page Captain flare in red. I already have the navy, but couldn't resist it in red!

More vintage dresses, including a late 40s red plaid dress. I've been wanting one for ages and came across one in my size. It even has a velvet bow. Meant to be mine!

Love that plaid dress, and the fan earrings, so sweet.

I got lucky and won this Swirl I really wanted, as I don't see black ones very often

I also got this Anthropologie eyelet blouse, for which I have a few outfits planned already

and this Asos skirt, which isn't vintage, but I love the print

 

[Miss Golightly]

Drappa - thank you! I won't be going anywhere sunny for a few months but best to be prepared I reckon! Loving the Swirl dress and I had my eye on that ASOS skirt too - a lovely print.

DPD - that dress is beautiful!

BlackDahlia - Loving the first shirtwaist in particular on you!

 

[Oh lala!]

So many great purchases! I should stop reading this thread, it makes me want to buy so many things!

Drappa I love the Asos skirt!

 

[Drappa]

Thank you Miss Golightly and Oh lala

I haven't bought myself anything in SUCH a long time...

Instead I've been too busy buying for my new vintage clothing business!

 

[Flicka]

I just got these earrings - the man I bought them from said they'd belonged to his grandmother, born in 1891. I just love them:

Aren't they delicious?
