Lots of lovely vintage finds for you ladies tonight! I have been working busy as a bee and it's been a lot worse since my site decided to get bonkers on me. Chatting with tech support is really educational though, all that geek speak, I'm getting it. *hehe*Anyhow, without further ado, some lovely vintage clothes just arrived in the shop and I do hope you enjoy and share them with others that adore vintage as much as you and I.

Not one of my favorite Zooey movies, it was much too slow paced for me and felt a little empty in the end, but I did adore her clothes and the sets of course.
So for today, I am posting a series of beautiful Audrey Hepburn photos that are not often seen.
BTW, Audrey Hepburn's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is on Hollywood
The last photo is of singer/actress Frances Langford who I will post about later. She is so cute and has an amazing voice for such a tiny little person.
As a vintage seller, collector, and buyer, I am still learning so much every day about the wonderful world of vintage. I first spotted these books at B&N (Barnes & Noble) and I've been back a few times now to browse through them and decided I might as well just purchase them because they are great for reference and great just to look through.

Once I get these in the mail I will offer thorough reviews and some snippets so you can decide for yourself if they are worth getting :)
The fashions in "How to Marry a Millionare" are quite cute! The three girls portray models all intent to marry rich, (very very rich!) and use their good looks to reel in the men.
BTW, did you know that in her most infamous picture (the 2nd one posted here) she was 5 months pregnant?! I really hope I look that amazing!
When vintage dresses are placed in specific decades in the shop, it's sometimes based on what decade the dress is better associated with. Some dresses, especially when they fall in those blurry years (right at the end or start of a new decade), are just too hard to pinpoint an exact decade, so while a dress may appear from the 50s, it could actually be from the early 60s.
Don't you wish dresses required a time stamp? LOL!
My haircut from September is in that awkward growing out stage where it's about shoulder length but not quite long enough to do anything with... so now I am pondering if I should get bangs or continue with the growing out? Hmm...
What is the life you have always imagined? Is there anything stopping you from living THAT life?
Back to the "real world" on Monday (and regular daily blogging with more vintage and vintage inspirations of co
I hope all of you had a lovely week so far! Mine has been quite busy with the holidays so very close! We leave to visit family on Wednesday and it's creeping right up, isn't it? Sadly, this year we did not get a Christmas tree. Strange we've been too busy to go get a tree (well, and all the rain in L.A. didn't help either). Will be vacationing for almost a week in northern California, hopefully we'll get some time to visit a vineyard or maybe spend a day in San Francisco, I am dying to go see "Wicked!" Most of all, I am looking forward to spending time with family and eating lots of food! *hehe*
The color palette here reminds me a little of Keira Knightley in "Atonement" as Cecilia Talis. The hairstyle is even a little reminiscent of Celia's hairdo.
"I've been smiling lately, dreaming about the world as one. And I believe it could be someday it's going to come."
How many different types of collars can you spot? Do you notice how tailored and streamlined the blouses were in the 1950s? It seems they were always worn tucked into a skirt (with a banded waist or worn with a belt). The sleeves are never fussy and loose, cuffs seemed to always be present (no elastic!). I am swooning over the white Vintage Vogue blouse with the horizontal tucks, I would wear it in a heartbeat!
