Vintage Pucci

I was lucky enough to have grow up with 3 amazingly chic, fabulously stylish grandmothers. Words cannot describe there amazing style!

Over the past 5 years or so I have inherited some amazing vintage pieces. My grandma Peggy use to live in my parents house with us and I thought I had grabbed all the fabulous pieces ( furs, hats, shoes, silk scarfs, costume jewelery, etc). Well, last Saturday I hit the JACKPOT. I found in the depths of a damp basement in a box that has probably not been opened in 17 years a Emilio Pucci original circa 1960-1970. I DIE! I found a slew of other things but Pucci gets its own post.



I wish I drew these....

Tennis Anyone?

Lately, I have been obsessing over vintage sportswear, mainly tennis. Sports attire like everything else in fashion has changed drastically over the past 100 years. Considering people use to play in wool and long skirts and now skorts and underwear like shorts. My preference is sports wear from the 1940s to 1970s.

Love for Pamela Love

Pamela Love is a jewelery designer based out of NYC. Her pieces have a macabre/folky quality to them (If they can be both ?). I am aware that she has been out for quite sometime but I always find myself creeping her website or popping into J+O to look at her lovely pieces. Maybe one day I will spend more then $20 on a piece of jewelry, when that day comes I will invest.

dreamy picnic

Daydreaming about picnics in the park led me to this movie from Australia called Picnic at Hanging Rock which I have never seen or heard of. Would any of you lovely ladies like to re create this with me sometime this summer, minus the disappearance?
