Colorful Vintage Party Dresses and The Little Black Dress

Proudly Wearing Grandma’s Frumpy Old Vintage House Dress

If you’ve ever thumbed through old family photos of our grandmothers and great grandmothers looking at what they were wearing you might be thinking that you wouldn’t be caught dead wearing a frumpy old house dress, but the way our bodies and fashion styles have evolved what may have looked frumpy back then on our grandmothers suddenly doesn’t look so frumpy now……

Pairing these cute little frocks up with a wide belt, a sweater thrown over the shoulders and some casual summer wedges and your sure to be a head turner!

Below picture is of my family in Belmar, New Jersey in 1949

And the beautiful woman standing second from the right with her arms crossed is my grandmother Nicolina, the woman standing in the back by the door is my great-grandmother Giovanna, and as you can see most of the women are wearing house-dresses, boy would I love to raid those closets now if they were all still alive, you do know that old school Italians never throw anything away, never!

Caramel hues which include lilac, coral, cream, peach and banana will be as hot as the above-mentioned essentials. Aquamarine, nude and classic white and black are the lovely and necessary additions to the color scheme. Read full article about.

Fashion Color Trends for Summer of 2012

Who doesnt like like to know what’s currently in fashion….color wise that is!

While some like to show off their toned body in hotpants and a cropped top, many of us prefer a more demure but still very attractive clothing like pencil skirts and airy blouses. Spring/ Summer 2012 fashion trends comprise choices for both as well as for plenty of other women with their own unique styles. Look out “Vintage” here we come!

While these are contemporary looks, we’ve added our vintage version for the yellow colors and these are currently listed at The Hula Hut Hut and More Store.

Floral printed dresses are also going to be really popular with fashionistas.

Fall Fashions – Cooler Weather is Coming!

I know it’s August, and here in Arizona it’s hard to realize that Fall is just around the corner; but it will be here before you know it, and I thought I’d take advantage and get a head start.  My new site Scorpio Vintage has already listed some lovely vintage items.  So here’s my fashion Fall Forecast.

Don Sayers for Wellmore designs have the classic look of St. John Knits, but are much more affordable. Here’s a stunning Little Black Dress with exquisite shoulder & neck embellishment

Next we have a Hand Knit Dress done in a beige wool boucle yarn with shoulder & upper bodice accent in a metallic copper.  Shoulder are done in a Pointelle stitch.  Bombshell Beauty.

Next, we’ve got some Squared toe stiletto pump with color blocks of very fine suede.  This is a much finer & softer suede than you see today.

Next is an Escada 80’s Window pane plaid skirt in a wool blend.  Slim pencil style done in a red tone on tone color.  Classic simplicity.

We hope that you’ll visit our new site.  Click on the pictures to go to the listing.

Taking it back to the 60’s Maxi and Jumpsuit Fashion Trend 2011

I’ve been on a maxi dress and jumpsuit kick these past few months and while most of the jumpsuits I listed were sold this mod 60s made in Britain Jumpsuit still resides in my store , I love the wide legs and Pucci Inspired print as well as the slinky nylon jersey fabric, frankly I am surprised that no one has snatched it up yet~!

Another hot on the 60’s fashion trend were Maxi Dresses, this bright mod green dress is adorned with sparkling rhinestone buttons set asymmetrically to the side.

This Sparkling Black Plum, Silver and Gold Metallic Maxi dress has a deep plunging bust-line, a real eye catcher~!

Mad about mod

plain outfits become memorable
