Yves St. Laurent Rive Gauche Avant Garde Vintage 90s Dress | M |
$95
We love this dress from YSL. It's a sharp, jet black cotton number that closes asymmetrically with big carved wooden buttons. The style is dramatic and fashion forward. Clearly, it's the work of one of fashion's great designers, Yves St. Laurent.
This is a good dress. It's the kind that can give a woman feeling of power and confidence. It's sharp and distinctive, yet not so "out there" that it can't be worn to the office.
We like the idea of seeing it with a colored pair of tights, a very big slouchy bag and maybe some rich brown boots. It's got a slightly boxy cut . There's an over-sized flap functional pocket on one hip that you can ... [more]

Sexiest Vintage 60s Beaded Cocktail Party Dress | L |
$120
Saucy and sexy, this beaded and sequined vintage '60s dress is party perfect. A bold floral flourish decorates the fitted bodice and draws the eye upwards to your beaming visage. The dress is made of a greenish turquoise crepe. It's a lovely color that seems to compliment a range of skin tones and hair colors.
Now turn around, dear girl, let's check out that back view. Notice that big bow at the small of the back? That's such a 60s detail. The skirt itself has large panel pleats in the back to allow nice range of movement. That's going to be critical when you're dancing. And you will be dancing in this dress. We don't allow sad sacks who don't dance t ... [more]

Cherry Red Pintuck Vintage 50s Bib Front Blouse | L-XL |
$30
This shirt is a cute piece for summer girls trying to put together a simple outfit for warm weather. It's great with a skirt or pants or capris. It looks marvy with a jean jacket or layered with a cardigan.
This blouse is from the late 50/early 60s. It is cherry red and made of all cotton. It has little pearly buttons and a pin-tuck bib front that's every so stylish. We'd like to see it worn with something nautical because that's our current flavor of the day. After all, it's summer time and that always inspires warm days spent on the open sea, even if that sea is merely just the neighborhood pool. Great larger size and new old stock--ahoy! ... [more]

Shiny Cherry Red 60s Red Cross Low Heel Pumps | |
$48
Red Cross made nice shoes. That's all there is to it. They were a quality brand that was known for being both stylish and well made.
You can imagine how much your feet will appreciate these cherry red 60s "Socialites" stilettos. Glossy and saucy--a bright, shiny red heel like this one makes the outfit. Note the flat bow detail on the side of the vamp and say to yourself, "Oooh la-la." Shiny patent leather on the outer portion of the shoe and matte leather on the other half makes for an eye-catching contrast. The lining on this shoe is vinyl. Foot bed is lightly cushioned, too.
You already possess scintillating conversation skills and a fabulous fashio ... [more]

Pinky Coral Vintage 40s/50s Swing Coat Fur Ascot | XL |
$145
Prettiest pinky coral trimmed up in a lush, rich, fur ascot and cuffs--could there be a finer way to stay warm while wearing your vintage frocks? Not likely.
This smashing swing coat is from the very late '40s or possibly the '50s. It's made of nubby bouclé wool. The fur accents are marmot which is shiny, sleek and wonderfully rich. The fur is so very smooth and not in the least bit dry. Instead of a typical fur collar, this one acts as an over-sized ascot with one side of the huge tie threading through a large loop in the other side. What a fabulous design detail. For added drama, the cuffs are trimmed in marmot, too.
Inside, the coat is lined in coral crepe. It ... [more]

Hot Psychedelic Vintage 60s Cole of CA Swimsuit | M |
$75
No color combo is quite as happy making as orange with hot pink. This bold colorful swimsuit from Cole of California is, indeed, a saucy smile maker. It's made of a nylon/poly stretch jersey. There's a built-in bra for extra shaping and structure (no more drooping...yay!)
We love the low cut tank style for its ease and it's sex appeal. The sunny bright colorway makes a day at the beach all the more exciting. Wear it to a pool party. Enjoy a drink with an umbrella. You'll be a tropical bombshell bathing beauty! ... [more]

Light Lemon Vintage 50s Rogers Nightgown Negligee | S-M |
$90
As delicate and airy as a lovely lemon chiffon pie, (and probably just as sweet to look at), this pretty vintage 50s nightgown from Rogers dates from the 1950s.
It has a lovely pleated bodice trimmed in pretty cotton floral lace and appliqueed with a darling leaf pattern on both the front and back of the gown. The shoulder straps are wide, gathered and quite sheer. The cups are so beautifully defined. We padded Sabrina for a better fit, but it's obvious this gown is surely going to be accentuate the positive.
There's a wide inset belt that echoes the shoulder straps in style. That ties in the back with a pretty yellow ribbon. The gown is labeled Rogers, the popular l ... [more]

Worldly Vintage Sculptural Relief Globe | |
$60
See the world vintage style with this very nice sculptural relief globe. Dating around the later 60s (maybe?) the globe has a simple yet elegant modernist two metal axis and a metal base. The axis and base is made of brushed aluminum. It was made in Chicago by Nystrom.
As former globe collectors, we know that this is a good one that ought to easily find a stylish place in your home. It's got good lines, good color on the map. What's more, it's on the larger side which makes a bold statement. This is great in your office, a kid's bedroom or any spot in the home that's missing just the right objet d'art. ... [more]
