Weird, wacky, wonderful days!

Apparently, I'm a big procrastinator!

OK I admit it!

:) I'm a SAG, so that's my excuse!

I'm going to start writing about weird calender days - dates - holidays and finding some clothes to go along with - to celebrate those weird, funky, fun off-the-wall holidays....

because I love finding joy in each day that's given to me. :)

I'll try to keep up with this regularly but with baby on the way, soon...like 16 days before she's due, I may slack just a little but I'll be back to write more after she's born.

So, in looking at weird, funky holidays ... today is

Garfield the Cat Day

Yay!

I love me some Garfield. So does my son. He has like 3 or 4 Garfield comic books and he'll just read them out loud to me and we laugh. :) Good times.

Anyway, what does a chic wear to celebrate Garfield the Cat Day?

Some ideas....

How about a cute little 70's apron? Ha ha it's too cute, and I found it on etsy! It says "Food's Fun"



Too cute!

How about a drink to celebrate lovable Garfield? In Garfield glasses of course! Tee hee!




Any way you choose to celebrate Garfield, here's hoping you have a happy day doing it!

OMG I feel like such a blog failure :-(

...since I haven't posted in like FOREVER! What's wrong with me? Well, I closed my ebay store for now, and posted a majority of my vintage clothing and lingerie inventory over to etsy or on my website. eBay's getting a little too unfriendly for me, and so I'll only be posting things there every once in a while to bring in a little traffic every now and again. Mostly, fetish things like lingerie and things of that nature :) you know, the things I love to sell!


So, my etsy shop is located here:
I offer free shipping on most items so be sure to check it out!



In other news, I found out I'm pregnant (due date 8.2 speculative for now), and so I won't get to enjoy a lot of my beloved vintage for a number of months. Boo hoo! However, I am on the look out for CUTE vintage maternity goods so let me know if you come across anything. It's way hard to find vintage maternity things that are CUTE too...actually it's hard to find newer maternity things that are CUTE too. Why?

Have a look at what I can't enjoy while pregnant :) so I get to offer them to you:
80s PURPLE Silky Nylon Jumper XL




Red Frilly Valentine Red Teddy Romper Large




Oh, and I found the most gorgeous candy apple patent red leather Frederick's of Hollywood 50's heels in a size 6 1/2...skyscraper 5" heels! OMG I'm excited I can't wait to get pictures taken of them :) I think if I were a 6 1/2 no one could ever pry them off my feet. I'd wear them all the time....I'm sure someone out there will enjoy them though!

Fun in the sun, tropical style!

...because, I've got the perfect vintage dress for whatever tropical locale you're visiting! Here's a peek - more coming!


Big Hed Bold Red 80's Tropical Print Sun Dress






70's Tropical Print Malia Sun Dress XS





70's Tropical Print Frederick's of Hollywood Pin Up Two Piece Skirt & Halter Dress S






Fun in the hot, hot sun!

Vintage or BUST!

Okay, I'm a little late on blog tag...eeek! Better late than never I guess!

1) Show us your favorite vintage slip in your inventory!
Currently, it's this one...a black Van Raalte deep pleated Suavette Nylon slip


2) Lace trim or chiffon trim? Whats your favorite?
Favorite is a combination of both...
WOWOWOW! like on this pink Van Raalte...WOW!




3)Colors or neutrals, whats your preference? Definitely, colors. Neutrals are pretty too but I'll never pass a chance to pick up slips of many colors! I love them.



4) Favorite label in vintage lingerie? I have several favorites. Van Raalte, for one their nylon is ultra luxurious and super soft. Vanity Fair, two for their silky nylon and anything 30's or 40's bias cut is wonderfully delicious.



5) Full slip or half? Most of the time, it's full slips for me but I do on occasion find myself a half slip that fits right in with my style Yummmy!



6) Slips worn as dresses in public? I personally don't, but if you have the body, and the color is right and you have the right accessories, you can pull it off I'm sure!

Let's Go Swimming!

VINTAGE OR BUST!~Blog Tag Wednesday~ Swim With the Fishes

Its time for Wednesday blog tag again! The temps are on the rise and its time to think about swimwear….what better way to stand out on the beach than in a vintage swimsuit? Lets hit the beach!

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SWIMSUIT OR BEACH WEAR OFFERED IN YOUR INVENTORY?
It absolutely has to be this Cole of California pin up worthy leopard print bathing suit. WOWeeee! Wish I could wear it!
Cole of California WILD GIRL! Leopard Bathing Suit


WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ERA IN SWIMWEAR, TO SELL OR WEAR?
Likely, 50's because of the flattering draping, designs, etc. PINUP stuff is what I love!

FAVORITE DESIGNER OR LINE?
I have lots but currently it's Cole of California, Rose Marie Reid, and DeWeese has some cute things too. Oh, and for 80's swimwear, I Looooooove Serena.

FAVORITE BEACH RESORT?
Great question! I'm thinking somewhere in St. Thomas...blue waters, fine sand, and sippin' on a Coco-Loco. Good times! Hey, when's vacation?

FAVORITE POOLSIDE, TROPICAL COCKTAIL (WITH OR WITHOUT ALCOHOL)?
Haha, I just answered that. :-) Coco-Loco please!

FOR YOU, BIKINI OR ONE PIECE?
My wish is a bikini and my reality is a one piece.

Dandy Candy Wednesday!

Over at eVintage Society, the blog tag train keeps rollin! It's Wednesday again I can't believe it!

We're talkin' about candy today....the colors of candy and vintage...all rolled into one delectable little morsel {for your pleasure}

1) What’s your favorite candy colored vintage piece in your collection?

Well, not clothing - but still vintage, I have a little sugar! Sugar beads, that is! In a nice, olive green color and metallic gold combination - sugar beads are plastic, acrylic, lucite beads that are covered in clear bits of 'sugar' aka teeny tiny clear micro beads or frit to give it that sugary coating. Popular in the 50's, but I've seen them in jewelry as old as 30's. Mine is from the 50's...sweet huh?





2. What’s the sweetest accessory you’re offering right now, or if you don’t have one for sale, tell us about one of your own!
The sweetest, most tempting accessory I'm offering has go to be this aurora borealis red-pink choker necklace. Sweet, inviting, shimmery, tempting. Just lovely!





3. Sweet tooth? What’s your favorite candy?
Aaaah, so hard to decide! On those PMS-y kind of days, I'll take Ghiradelli or Dove {little bits of heaven I tell ya!}
and on the other days, I'll take Cinnamon Bears. Which I can't find ANYWHERE! Wah!

4. Ice cream…..chocolate or strawberry, and why?
This is another depends on my mood kinda thing. I've never just been stuck on liking one same thing all the time I guess...sometimes it's vanilla, other times it's chocolate, then strawberry. And sometimes I just want a Neopolotin bar.

5. “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”, classic film or Johnny Depp re-make….and why?
Johnny Depp is certainly brilliant, a magnificent actor of the finest sorts...but I typically don't like how remakes are remade. I'd take the classic tale over the new any day. Johnny should be left to his own unusual, one-of-a-kind, sexy, original vices.

6. Is your personal style sweet or salty? Explain!
Sometimes sweet {I might feel like wearing a simple dress and sandals} and sometimes salty {the next day I might feel like wearing disco attire and sky high heels}. Either way, it's all me and I'll take me just the way I am. Sweet and Salty. Naughty and Nice.

Why do people want what I want? lol

So, I tried to bid on this loverly, loverly 50's dress by Frederick's of Hollywood {filmland creations}

I really really liked the stretchy fabric with flared shiney skirt....perfect for bombshell pinup look!

Alas, I got beat out. It went for 83.99. Someone else wanted it more, I guess. BOO!

I'm keeping an eye out for more 50's Frederick's dress...everyone else is too!

eVintage Blog Tag! Maxed OUT!

eVintage Blog Tag - Maxed Out!

This week's eVintage Blog Tag theme is the Maxi Dress.
We’ve been hearing it nearly every Spring the last few years….the maxi dress is back! Vintage sellers rush to their stashes of full length 70s dresses ready to supply the fashion forward with the real deal. A newer spin by the industry touts the maxi length as a “patio dress”.


MAXI OR PATIO DRESS, AND WHY?
Gosh, patio dress sounds much better than maxi. When I think of maxi, I think of pads and well...that's not appealing in a dress name right?

FAVORITE MAXI DRESS IN YOUR INVENTORY?
I only have one! It's pink, floral and very delightful! Gotta love it!





AS A TREND, WILL IT BE A HIT OR A MISS?
The 'trend' kind of wanes over the years, you would think a classy lookin' patio dress style would have caught on by now! There's just so many of us 'shorties' maybe {like me!} that don't necessarily look suave in floor length attire.

PROS AND CONS?
Great for tall, leggy gals! Not so great for the shorties in the world. boo!


I was tagged by Vintage Bulletin, and now I'm tagging
Jersey Girl!

Color My World!

eVintage Tag - Color My World

Time for the eVintage Blog Tag and I was tagged by Jersey Girl!.

This week's theme is Color!

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE COLOR?
I can't pick a favorite color, per se. I have lots of favorite colors, though! At the moment, it's gold and red. Inky, indigo blue is also a favorite.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE BRIGHTLY COLOURED PIECE IN YOUR INVENTORY?
My favorite brightly colored item has to be this 60's bathing suit by Jantzen. Bold, bright yellows, blues, and pinks are sure to get noticed!You can find it here...



WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE WAY TO ADD COLOUR TO AN OUTFIT?
Adding color is easy with the addition of bright accessories like shoes, a purse, or even jewelry. Of course, my favorite way would the jewelry.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE COLOUR TO WEAR?
My closet is filled with an array of colors from burgundy to green. I'm blessed with a skin tone that will look a-ok with multiple colors. I do tend to shy away from bright or even muted shades of yellow.

WHAT COLOUR ARE YOU WEARING RIGHT NOW?
I'm wearing a bright turqoise wrap top, turqoise jewelry, black capris, and black ballet flats.

WHAT COLOURS DO YOU DECORATE WITH?
Depends on which room you're in. :-) My bedroom is reds and golds. Living room is taupes and browns. I love color!

Tag Time!

• 
  
  Well, time for another round of eVintage Society tag! One blogger asks the questions, then tags another blogger to answer...and on and on! This week, I've been tagged by Fuzzy Lizzie!
  
  
  
  
  
  1) WHAT ITEM DO YOU CURRENTLY HAVE FOR SALE THAT COULD HAVE BEEN WORN IN A MOVIE?
  
  
  
  
  
  Okay, if ever you've seen the corniest roller skating disco movie from 1980 called Xanadu,
  
  
  
  starring Olivia Newton-John...and you actually remember it, I love you. HAHA! I feel like I'm talking to myself when I talk about this movie - like I just get blank stares and expressionless faces. But it was one of my fave movies when I was a kid. I've gone and watched it again, and it did seem much better way back then...with an adult perspective it definitely comes off as corny now. Oh, well!
  
  
  
  
  
  Here's the synopsis from imdb.com:
  
  
  
  
  
  The Greek muses incarnate themselves on Earth to inspire men to achieve. One of them, incarnated as a girl named Kira, encounters an artist named Sonny Malone. With the help of Danny McGuire, a man Kira had inspired forty years earlier, Sonny builds a huge disco roller rink.
  
  
  
  
  
  Okay, so although the movie's a bit cheesy, I think this item would go great in it!
  
  
  
  2) WHICH MOVIE STAR DO YOU SEE WEARING THE ITEM & IN WHAT MOVIE?
  
  In Xanadu, I'd love to see Olivia Newton-John skating around in it!
  
  
  
  
  
  3) WHAT MOVIE STAR QUALITIES DOES YOUR ITEM HAVE TO MAKE IT PERFECT FOR YOUR STARLET?
  Hmm, well it's
• floral
• ruffley
• makes you want to dance
• disco era
• innocent yet sexy
  
  
  Yep, definitely.

Okay, it's time now for Jersey Girl to have her say...cuz she's it in the game of tag!
