A few of my favorites:

This came with a matching jacket:

Ms Ghoul,

I had my eye on this dress for quite a while but then I decided not to buy it. This is a beautiful dress.

And welcome to the Lounge!

How was the shoot, Sari? I really must get another one organised soon too.

the shoot was going great! What lovely new stuff you got!!!!

And Kim: I really envy you for those georgous glasses! Actually I´d have to wear glasses myself and if I´d find some as pretty as those I´d do it any time!

Found this in a local shop.

Kim B, your glasses are fantastic!
I tried ebay for some frames, and I got a box full of broken up damaged ones, much to my dismay.

I currently wear armanis which I've had for almost seven years, and they look more like boys glasses.

The frames I currently wear I also got from eBay - DKNY and they look somewhat vintage - similar shape anyway. I forget the seller's name, but they had a lot of really cute frames for a reasonable price; I wasn't apprehensive at all since they were an optical store!

I am counting the days until these little beauties show up on my doorstep!

Shoes!

I'm a sucker for shoes! I found a thrift store that had a hidden basement full of vintage things. Plus she was going out of business so her vintage was 25% off. The shoes were just to good to pass up even though some of the shoes don't fit me I bought them anyway. Perhaps my feet will grow??? Then she told me she still has a barn full of vintage things yet to bring in! My poor bank account The green ones are my favorite and they fit me. Now I need to find a cute new dress to work with my shoes.

Oh my god, I have never found such beautiful shoes in a thrift shop. I envy you.

 

[MaryDeluxe]

Sad things is I left so many more there!! Yes, I never expected anything like that from a thrift shop and at thrift store prices too. To bad they don't all fit me

 

[RetroModelSari]

If one of the shoes happens to be a size 8 I´d love to give it a new home straight away

 

[AllaboutEve]

Mary D. I am dying with envy here, SERIOUSLY DYING.lol lol I am more than willing to purchase/swap any that you may have spare that might be a vintage size 6.5 B.
You are such a lucky lady, what a handsome find!!!!!!

 

[Grace]

Shoes!!!!!! *swoon* love the green ones, and the purpley ones, too!

 

[MaryDeluxe]

RetroModelSari: I have no 8's

AllAboutEve: I am also a 6.5! The two black wedgies are 7. The purple ones are a size 4. Who wears a 4 anymore??? The green and the gray ones I'm keeping. The red ones will fit you but there is a lot of sole damage to them. I'm just going to list everything up on Ebay so take a look there... my ID is Designgrl97.

 

[BegintheBeguine]

MaryDeluxe, you might could wear the too cute black wedgies if you insert a Dr. Scholl's for her ball of foot cushion in each one. These work for me every time. http://www.drscholls.com/forher/product.aspx?prodid=88&nid=1 Watch out, if you click on this there is some crappy music that made my 3 dogs bark!
Before I had a job that I stood up at for 9-10 hours a day, I could wear a size 4!!! I saved only one pair of size 4 shoes for my shoe museum, gave the rest away.

 

[Grace]

I have some killer vintage shoes that range anywehere from a 3.5 to a 5.5. They will be on display in my office soon enough. I can never pass up fab shoes, even if they are itty bitty!

 

[MaryDeluxe]

BegintheBeguine: Those are awesome and I would put them in every pair of shoes I have! My problem is my heel just won't fill out that back strap I tried,(oh how I tried) stuffing something in the front but then I lose my toes Some gal with a size 7 will be very lucky! Shoe museum that sounds cool!

Grace: Oh I hear you, I brought these home and my boyfriend is like...They don't even fit! He just doesn't understand
