Got A Reply From Dita Von Teese!

I got really excited when I received a reply from Dita on Twitter! Apparently we both like Last Christmas By WHAM! haha

Happy Holidays!

I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Holiday season. I haven't posted in a little bit due to cleaning, work, school, etc. However, I will try to post new outfits I bought for the holiday season sometime soon. I also got some much needed sewing done. With some vintage outfits I have to maintain them so sewing sometimes is a must. All in all I will posting in the new year, hope to see you there!!


*Best Wishes A Vintage Vixen*

Flea Market Finds and New Bed Spread

I'm starting to see a trend with the things I buy lately to be brown and gold. I have no idea why.



I got a second jewelry box because my (as you know) was spilling over. So as luck would have it I found a decent sized one at $2.00! What a find that was. The two pins I found was a couple dollars each. The Screen Legends playing cards were cute. And the mirror were a few dollars, I put my Chanel lotion in the spray bottle. It came in handy!



I also picked up a Lucy and Ricky movie set. For $20.00 I got all the movies they have ever done together, still in plastic. I thought it was a good deal since this isn't something I see at Best Buy every day.


Continuing with the brown and gold theme I got a new bed spread! I just love it my new puppy Clara Bow fits right in! The angle with the camera was off but you get the jest of it...

X-mas gifts I give myself

I found a couple things I spent a little more money on for myself around this holiday season.



My first bottle of CHANEL (N. 5)!!!
I love it and it also came with body wash and lotion...classic.



I also got yesterday the rerelease of the 1959 Barbie. She comes with the extra gown and of course the classic striped bathing suit and glasses. It has a little poster, fact cards, and a repo-ed magazine. The magazine is worth taking a peek at it shows themed outfits from the decade. If you can squeeze it out of the box. So adorably worth buying.

To Tweet or not to Tweet

This is the question. What do my followers think? Do you think I should tweet along with my blog or do you think it is a fad? Let me know!

Anyone Else Excited About This Flick!?

Movie Luv-ShopGirl

Just watched ShopGirl for about the third time and I just loved her clothes. I thought I would post some of her vintage threads.

Love Of The Moment...

Scarves!


Some times I tie them in a bow.



When I can't do thing with my hair I don't usually wear a snood. I usually go for a pony tail with a scarf bow tied around it.


Sometimes I tie them in a knot.


And sometimes I tie them on my purse.

I think they add extra to an outfit and they can conform to any outfit. :) LOVE EM!

Getting A New Member of The Fam

I might not be posting for a little while as I am going to pick up a new puppy Pomeranian on Sunday. It will be a female and it will be named after my favorite actress.

Clara Bow


I think they do look alike!

Tah Dah!

An oldie but a goodie!

My Halloween Costume Hint

She is vintage and always a classic!

Who I Spent My Down Time With...

Vogue Magazine and Lindt Chocolates, best down time ever.

Little By Little...

I picked up a few things a month ago. It seems to be a little bit of a drought of very nice vintage things lately. But I guess that means there is soon to be a flood of goodies!

New items in the store!

I added these items to my store. http://avintagevixen.bigcartel.com/

Vintage Revlon Compact




Polka Dot Stretch Belt



Feather Slippers

Its My B-day Today!

I had a little trip...





I just got back from having some fun at the nature center. One of the nice things about it is the butterfly garden house.



Me at the Garden House.



If you look close you can see some butterflies.



Shhhh...the babies are sleeping.



This one stood still for me.



Some Souvenirs...



It was just lovely. I also went to the flea-market of course! I will post pics of my findings soon!

Before and After

I have come a long way in collecting. PS I forgot to fill the hole in the after pic because I was wearing those particular earrings that day...Go figure!

I'm Gonna Need A Bigger Jewelry Box!!!

I have way too many brooches and earrings and they are starting to pile up. I never thought I would have something as pretty as brooches pile up! But I have been watching a lot of Lucy lately because I got the I Love Lucy box set. She has the most cutest outfits ever. I have been inspired by her. She almost always has beautiful jewels on and even when she goes casual she has the cutest flats paired with a sparkly robe. So chic! When I stare through the glass counter I get so excited. Then to see how much they are priced I go crazy. It seems there is always a way to look expensive without being expensive. All the glamour of dresses and makeup were everyday things in yesturyear. But today it might look too gawdy...I say be glamourous! Its every womans right!





I know how you feel Lucy!

I like Shiny Things!

I had to show these pins by themselves because I am so happy to have gotten them. They were fairly cheap and just beautiful. They are also a little heavy which proves to be sturdy. Pins just add glam to any outfit, just ask (one of my favorite gals) Dita Von Teese...

Plastic Shoes!

I picked these up because I noticed a trend with plastic/lucite heels in the 50's. I figured I'd wear these pool side, and the heel is small enough to lounge in public in. They are too adorable!

Some examples...
