You look amazing! What a cool outfit.

Hi everyone. I'm putting an image gallery together of vintage looks for work. I need great pieces, good images of the following: Women shrunken blazers pencil skirts 40s or 50s suits Men work wearable suits tie clips cuff links pin up ties (the kind with the pin up inside the tie)...

A 38 1/2 in Men's is a size 6 in US sizes. Sounds kind of small for a man, but they do look masculine.

I'm wondering if completely zipped up clothing storage units will stand up to weight, time, and being in a garage. I would have to line the bottom with cedar panels. I hate to move all of my stuff outside, but i am just not seeing any other options. Sandra

I don't wear vintage head to toe. I used to, but not anymore due to work expectations. but I do incorporate some vintage element almost everyday. How do you wear your vintage? Sandra

Susan, I agree. Such eye candy. i actually just posted something about the Sartorialist just now. sandra

I would definitely include color block in the title. These are very on trend! Are you going to put them on eBay? I would.

Hi everyone. I'm taking a survey on which categories are the most important to you when you shop or research vintage fashion. Thanks in advance for your input. xo, Sandra

I'm going to die if you tell me you found it at a thrift store.

OMG! Score! The Safari line is HIGHLY collectible. Ch-ching is right. Awesome find! Sandra

Holly, Thank you for this info. It's not for me but a client. Sandra

"In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different. " -Coco Chanel This one has always been one of my favorites. I even post it in my classroom to remind the kids that different isn't bad. This one is my current favorite and will go on all my sites: "Never Fear Being Vulgar, Only...

I don't know, but it sure is cute. When are you listing it?

florals with large prints, especially watercolor and abstract bold, almost neon colors: yellows, blues, fuschia

I did some research on the street name. My husband and I went to Rome and several other cities in Italy for our honeymoon so I made sure I figured out where the good shopping is. I checked my guide book and Vittorio Veneto is between Via Veneto and Villa Borghese, in the area of the Spanish...

Looks linen to me, which would make sense because it gets HOT in Rome.

I saw this this morning. any bit of marketing helps no?

Wow Justine! thanks. I am very flattered. We've got to exchange links!! Sandra

Thanks everyone. I was so excited and flattered when I found out. I'm fighting the good fight and helping vintage cross over into mainstream fashion. Even if I don't win, because the competition is tough, I am honored to be nominated. Cross your fingers. But vote first. :hysterical: Sandra

I\'ve been nominated for a FABBIE Hi everyone. My blog has been nominated for a Fabbie Award. A group of bloggers-the Manolo, Fashiontribes, and a bunch others, decided they were tired of fashion blogs being overlooked by the blog awards, so they started their own awards. And I've been...

Oh! Rita Hayworth Gilda Jean Louis

This will do very well. I couldn't believe Last Call Neiman Marcus would not give me a further discount on a Chanel jacket that was missing buttons-on the front pockets fro crying out loud! The fact that this is a classic looking jacket, with all its buttons should get you a nice sum.

Does anyone know of any good vintage stores in Paris?

Ok, I checked my Dictionary of Costume and Fashion and Maggie's is definitely a cowl sleeve, but I think yours is a modified cowl or possibly even a "hanging sleeve"-sleeve with a slit in the front so the arm itself can come through. It's a 15th century design. If there is no tag, I would...

I love this video Maryalice. May I use it on my blog? Sandra
