Stripe this way!

October 23rd, 2012

We love the details on this lovely 1980s vintage striped dress (Size:M) – the cute turn up sleeves, the contrasting vertical and diagonal stripes, and the criss-cross cut out design at the back!
Plus, the dreamy pastel hues remind us of the sea, the beach, candy floss and yummy ice-creams! ๐Ÿ™‚
We’ve paired it here with a 1960s teal coloured a-go-go belt, a 1960s woven bag, and the cutest 1970s round pin brooch depicting little “moppets” around a table (New Old Stock).

Daisy about you!

Head back to the 60s with this lovely daisy chain necklace!
This bib style choker features five three-dimensional white and gold-tone accented daisies with faux pearl centres, suspended by a simple white beaded chain.

Graceful lines!

Ahhh…. here’s one to steal your hearts at the start of a dreary work week: a sleek 1950s sheath dress (SIze: S) that skims your body and is feminine without being overly so.
It’s classic with all-over stripes, yet a little unusual with
its choice of colours – pink and green! There’s a little neat bow at the bosom – a great touch! It’s also perfectly suitable for work.
This is another dress we will be sad to say “Sayonara” to!
To add a shot of colour to your ears with this dress, try a pair of 1980s enamel green earrings.
And to shod your pretty feet, these caramel leather square-toed 1960s pumps (Size: 5) will do just too fine. ๐Ÿ™‚

Funky 80’s Dress!

October 21st, 2012

Let’s get funky! This vintage 1980s dress (Size: S/M) recalls the crazy era with black and white stripes clashed with a riotous loud collage of images! We love it for all its wackiness, plus it has a cute little tiered skirt.
Ankle suede purple boots (Size: 8) go great with it, as do black and silver round modernist earrings, and a white curvy 1980s plastic bangle.
