The light blue dress, is it a shift style dress from the 60s? I love the fascinator, very cute.

I'm not really sure what year it belongs to, I just loved it!

Hubbs just let me purchase this beauty, which I have been dreaming of for months! The silk Crepe de Chine dress from J. Peterman.

And for a benefit we're going to at the end of the month, these adorable retro t-straps from eBay.

I love those shoes! Are they vintage or new. If hthey are new can you tell me what brand?

 

[goldwyn girl]

Oh yes, do tell, those shoes are fab !!

Splurged £250 on 2 suits yesterday. Both in mint condition and a really good fit though so I'm hoping I can convince myself it was a justifiable amount to spend!

I shall help you justify

They look fantastic, pristine and wonderfully classic! You will be able to wear them forever and make them your own heirlooms.

I don't blame you one bit for buying them. Congrats!

Ditto - you look wonderful! Good suits are ALWAYS worth the money!

It looks like they are a brand called Fahrenheit? That's what the seller says they are (I'll let you know for sure once I have them in my hot little hand). Looks like they are probably a vintage repro or inspired line.

I'd been looking for a good black suit for ages (they are worth twice as much because you can wear both halves of the suit with other outfits!) and so to find 2 in one day, both in mint condition like that... I just couldn't resist! the best part about it was that in the little shop I got them from they have loads of stock down in their basement stockroom and they let me go down and rummage around - it was fantastic - just like those vintage dreams you have (I'm sure I'm not the only one who has those, right?!).

I bought a limited edition fragrance by Marc Jacobs (first perfume my boyfriend has EVER liked on me, and we've been together nearly 4 years). Problem: it's a light fragrance, I believe an EDT, so it doesn't wear too long, but the bottle's too huge to carry around. Solution:

Rhinestone atomizer, 99 cents. Fun!

 

[just_me]

MissHannah - those suits are beautiful.

 

[JupitersDarling]

I just won these shoes... Saw them and I just had to bid.
I hope they fit and look smashing! It's been tooo long since I last bought some vintage shoes.

 

[La Julia]

Miss Bella- 99 cents? Its a great steal

JD- I am loving the black ones

 

[Miss Golightly]

I'm forever having those "vintage dreams"! They are always so vivid - usually I am walking around a vintage market and every stall is full to the brim with beautiful vintage suits and dresses and don't get me started on the costume jewellery!!!!!!!!

Those are really beautiful suits MissHannah - they look terrific on you!

I just bought this dress a few moments ago:

I love the brown ones! I need to get serious about finding a good pair of brown shoes. Seems like they go with just about anything.

Miss Bella- 99 cents? Its a great steal

I know! I bought insurance for shipping though, just in case the rhinestones fall out.

What store is this? I would love to go next time I'm home visiting my parents in London.
