Stiletto! The Well Heeled Lady!

Stiletto actually means a thin tapered blade referring to a knife like object, but in shoes “stiletto” refers to a type of shoe heel that is pointy, thin and high. Also called “spike” or “spiked” heels. Made popular in the 50′s/60′s, and certainly that holds true for today! An interesting quote I came across in my “Stiletto” book by Caroline Cox states “Most women prefer a trip to hell in high heels than to walk flat-heeled to heaven! The “Stiletto” spells sex, with an erotic
allure and the supreme symbol of femininity!

At Scorpio Vintage we offer the “Original” 50′s stiletto, along with the current version worn today!

The first is a 60′s silk plaid sling back pump

Second is 50′s Tapesty Classic Pump

Third is a 50′s color block suede pump

Last is a Modern version of the classic pump in a cream sling back!

If I knew you were coming I’d have baked a cake!

For hundreds of years, homemakers have used aprons to keep their clothing clean and carry items when doing chores such as gathering eggs or for collecting kindling wood. In the 1940s and 1950s the apron took on a new role as that of a stereotype for the “perfect mother” or grandmother who always wore an apron.

Prior to that aprons were more of a functional piece of a woman’s wardrobe, meant to keep your dress clean in a time when people did not have the size wardrobes we sport now. As time went on aprons became more fashionable and used as accessories as evidenced by “cocktail aprons” which were worn when entertaining at home. It kept your dressier dress clean but at the same time helped you maintain that image of the stylish homemaker who knew how to throw a great party and still look wonderful doing it.

Born Too Late Vintage at Art Fire has both vintage aprons and vintage apron patterns for your inner June Cleaver!

Sultry and Sexy does not have to mean Immodest!

You see it everywhere. Young ladies flaunting everything they’ve got in gowns that perhaps take a yard to a yard and a half of material with necklines to the bottom of their cleavage or hemlines an inch below the good china (thank you Peach Carr!). So take it from Love Train Vintage there is nothing more sexy or sultry than leaving something to the imagination. With that in mind we have some fabulous vintage gowns that do just that. So for a change of pace this New Years Eve give sultry, sexy and modest a try. Leave a little to his imagination. Fitted and clingy can do much more than putting it all out there on a platter!

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse….

For some, a quiet Christmas Eve or New Years Eve gives your relationship some special togetherness. Why not spend the evening at home with that special someone in front of a roaring fire, with the lights down low and some hand dipped chocolate strawberries, a bottle of champagne and of course comfortable and alluring in beautiful vintage attire?
