Vintage 60's Bikini

Oooh yay! I finally won a couple auctions on Ebay! The first is the cutest little 1960's bathing suit. It's a pink gingham bullet bra bikini, and styled exactly like the one on the picture above. The second one is a 1930's wool one piece! There are a couple tiny holes in it, but overall in excellent condition. Too bad I'll probably have to wait until next year to show them off!

Vitnage Hat Box Suitcase

I love these 1950's or 1960's carry on bags. I'm thinking they were for vintage hats, but I just use mine for anything. I wish I could find more vintage luggage like this. I need an actual suitcase to match. So far I just have a dark blue hat carry on exactly like the one pictured above. Anyone else have any vintage luggage?

1960's Rings by Vendome

Who doesn't love vintage jewelry? I found this pic of some great vintage rings by Vendome from the late 1960's. I think I love them all.

Vintage Sixties Style

I finally saw Factory Girl. I know, I'm way behind in the times but I've been trying to catch up on my 1930's movies! So, of course I loved this movie because of the vintage clothes! I think Sienna Miller did a pretty decent job as Edie Sedgwick. Her 1960's makeup was incredible, and I love how every outfit was accessorized! Not one article of clothing looked plain, or boring. I notice that in most newer movies, people are dressed nice but boring. Plain shirt, plain pants, etc. Do you know what I mean? Or maybe I'm just obsessed with every other era except the one I live in.

1960's Cocktail Party

Oooh, this vintage 60's tent dress is delicious! The jeweled neckline, the bow around the waist...Perfect for a glam night out, especially since with this flattering style you don't have to skip the dessert table!

Vintage Sixties Mini Dress

Sooo perfect for summer. I found this one on Ebay. I don't know why, but I've been neglecting all my 60's vintage dresses lately. I go through phases where I'll wear one decade or style for months, and then move onto a different one. This just reminded me of how much I LOVE mini dresses. Now I'm gonna go pull all mine out the boxes.

Vintage Treasures

I went on a little trip recently to visit my boyfriends family. Of course no trip is complete without a visit to the local vintage clothing and antique shops. I don't know what it is about small towns, but they are overloaded with vintage goodies at low prices! I wish it was like that in the city! But it's not:(

Anyhow, I started off by finding a beautiful 1940's fur coat at a little thrift store. To keep with my decade of choice, I then found a gorgeous 40's cream colored suitcase in perfect condition.

Next we found this huge antique mall. I checked out their vintage automotive section which was filled with old car parts, books, etc. I picked up a couple of cool 1960's car magazines which looked like they had never been read. The highlight of the trip however, was finding an early 1960's hairdryer! It's the most unique item I've seen in awhile. It basically looks like a mini vacuum cleaner with a comb attached to the hose! Hillarious! Of course I had to have it.

Vintage Dress Up Time

I babysat my little niece the other night, and who wouldn't want to play dress up with my 20 boxes of vintage clothing? Except she doesn't like to stick to one decade, she likes to mix it up a bit. Lets see, there's the 60's mini dress and purse, the 80's gold heels, and the 50's hat. Looks good to me.

1960's Crocheted Babydoll Dress

Wow, if I knew how to crochet, this is what I would be making! I love 60's babydoll dresses, but this is just so much more unique. I wouldn't normally expect that color to look so good either, but with the texture it looks amazing. I wonder how long this would take to make?

Vintage Dress Finds!

I got a bunch of great vintage dresses over the past couple weeks. Not all of them fit me just right, so they're going up on my website. Here are some of the photos! I think my favorite is the red 1950's dress, but I also love the blue 1960's dress and the 60's babydoll nightie. So cute.

Cute Vintage Swimsuit

Here is the latest edition to my vintage bathing suit collection. I swear I buy twice as many swimsuits in the winter as I do in the summer! Kind of like how I crave ice cream in winter and not as much in the summer. I think its a reverse psychology thing! Anyways, my new swimsuit looks late 1950's or maybe early 1960's. I'll have to check it out more once I receive it in the mail. It can be my early Christmas present!

1960's Swimsuit, Hawaiian Style

I watched the 1960's Elvis film Blue Hawaii not too long ago. I think I enjoyed the music in this movie better than the movie itself. But anyhow, I noticed one of the girls in the film is wearing a 1960's bathing suit very similar to one that I have on my website! The major difference is that hers is yellow and mine is red. It's so cute. Speaking of cute, check out those red shorts the girl on the far right is wearing! As for Elvis's dance move on that picture, it's up for questioning...

My Vintage Treasure

Some have called it tacky, weird, original or unique. These are all reasons why I love my little vintage foot stool! I had been looking for one forever, and now I finally have one. I'm not positive when this little guy was made, but they're supposedly from the mid 1950's to early 1960's. I guess they were some kind of fad or something during that time. Does anyone have any more information of these inflatable foot stools? I would love to know more about them!

Another Vintage Swimsuit

Wow, I scored again! My vintage bathing suit collection could never be big enough. Actually, I only have 4 so far, but I'm working on it! I won this gorgeous red suit on Ebay a couple days ago. The description said it was a 1950's swimsuit, but I'm thinking it could be early 1960's as well. Either way, I now have my red suit just in time for summer!

Cute Vintage 1960's Dress

I was lucky enough to score some cute vintage dresses off a lady I met a while back. This is my favorite. She purchased this black party dress in the 1960's, and only wore it a couple times. It's in perfect condition except for a weird stain on the back of the dress. Lucky it's not that noticeable since the dress is black. The stain is almost a burgundy color, and I can't figure out what it's from. Strange. Anyhow, this vintage dress is absolutely adorable. It has a cute little matching belt, and I love the way the skirt puffs out. Unfortunately, it's a tiny bit too big for me so I may have to sell it. Or I could just add it to my collection of beautiful pieces that I can't wear, but can't bear to part with!

Vintage Blouses

I just added these two 1960's blouses to my website. I especially like the blue & green one - it has the cutest little rhinestone buttons! I also posted some pics I found of similar 1960's tops :)

More Vintage Goodies

I've been having lots of luck lately! Finding more and more vintage clothes all the time. Hopefully it keeps up. First I found a glamorous 1960's coat with a mink collar. It's in perfect condition too! Next I found a gorgeous 60's cocktail dress. It's a golden yellow color with chiffon bodice and sleeves. So pretty. Lastly, my first 1930's bathing suit! Most of my swimsuits are from the 50's, so this my new favorite.

Faux Fur Vintage Coat

I'm starting to forget about bathing suits now, and focus on warmer vintage clothing. Such as this hot leopard print vintage coat! I love this. The faux fur trim is my favorite part. I'm not sure how old this is, maybe 1960's? Maybe newer. Either way, I must find one. I bought a similar style coat about a year ago, but had to sells it because it didn't fit me.
I love big fuzzy coats.
