So Miss Bella and I went shopping yesterday..... usually that means good news for my closet and bad news for my bank account.

Diane Von Furstenberg dress - knit dress with cherry print collar. Miss Bella traded it for a Shu Eumera eyelash curler

Celluloid necklace. Too cute! Love the little metal accents. Now I'm going to obsess over finding a matching bracelet and earrings.

What will heretoforth be known to me as THE Purse. I've been looking for a large black purse for awhile and finally found the one. 14"x8"x5" - big, a few little pockets, and zipper pockets on the top on either side of the main compartment! I'm guessing 60s.

50s cashmere sweater. So cute, had to have it!

And the piece de resistance... this dress is handmade, and not a sarong dress, but the top reminds me a lot of the Peggy Wood dresses with those tiny sleeves. Lots of boning and very sturdy bodice construction. Now, I just need a strapless bra.

Something cute!

Though not sure of the supposed era!

KittyT I LOVE that cherry collar dress! And I'm still looking for THE purse. The only big purses I've found have been briefcases.

zaika, I have the same ash tray

KittyT, all your purchases are lovely, but I do like the cashmere and blue dress the best.

RitaHayworth, they are cute, especially the second pair.

Wow! everyone getting some really nice stuff. I love that Vanity ShooShoo Baby and I love the blue dress KittyT.

Great radio, Zaika!

I say NO doilies! I prefer the clean, simple lines of the lamp and radio without.

I agree, doilies are not the right look at all with that streamlined lamp and radio, and are about 50 years early for the ashtrays.

But then, I really have never liked doilies except in Victorian decor.

Now I'm going to obsess over finding a matching bracelet and earrings.

Love this necklace but completely understand. I have been looking for a faux coral necklace and earrings for about a year now to match a bracelet I bought. I have seen about 100 and none match exactly. :eusa_doh:

Yeah, you just never know when something will pop up, though! I have a Trifari bow set that I got on ebay and I have seen it on Ebay several times since then, and was able to find earrings to match (not the exact design, but similar design by the same maker). I was in a store this weekend and saw the same necklace, but in gold instead of silver, which I'd not seen before. I know Bella has managed to piece together at least one set over time as well.

This coat arrived today at last! I won it ages ago but it got a little delayed in transit. I know it's 60's really but it's going to look lovely (and quite 50's) with a pencil skirt and heels don't you think?!

 

[MissHannah]

Kitty that blue dress is absolutely stunning.

stunning! would you mind telling me the seller?
I am searching for nice vintage coats to, with no luck...

 

[MissHannah]

The seller was beehive_vintage but to be honest it doesn't look like she has much pre-1970's stuff at the moment.

I went into Birmingham for birthday shopping of Friday & got some amazing things, 3 drsses & a shirt for £35!!!! I was so happy. I wore the shirt yesterday;

Yes, Paul is praying at me, and no, that is most definately not a glass of red wine in my hand.

[BegintheBeguine]

MissHannah, I love that coat. Yes, it's a classic shape that can look 50's easily.

Never underestimate the power of a 60's coat!!! Gorgeous find, ultra glamourous, you'll look like a bond girl!
