eVintage Blog Tag!

eVintage blog tag time! I was tagged by Jen at Penelopepup's Vintage Blog. This week's focus is - I Want Candy!

1) The colors of CANDY! What’s your favorite candy colored vintage piece in your collection?
I think my favorite candy colored piece would have to be this Vested Gentress skirt. Sweet, cotton candy pink, and such a darling print! Bright and spring-y.


2)What’s the sweetest accessory you’re offering right now, or if you don’t have one for sale, tell us about one of your own!
This orange Jackie O pillbox hat. The color reminds me of those orange sugar-coated jelly candy slices.


3) Sweet tooth? What’s your favorite candy?
Hmm...I think I'd have to say gummy bears! :-)

4)Ice cream?
I'm not really big on ice cream either (I know I know, I'm odd), but if it has cheesecake in it, I'm eating it!

5) “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”, classic film or Johnny Depp re-make….and why?
I really prefer the original. I didn't feel they quite captured the book for some reason in the second (probably because the original was from my era, my childhood, so I identify with it more).

6)Is your personal style sweet or salty? Explain!
A little of both. My personal style has a sweet touch usually, but always with a salty (or sassy!) piece to set everything off.

eVintage blog tag time! I was tagged by Jen at Penelopepup's Vintage Blog to answer a few questions about...MAXED OUT! The Maxi dress. This Spring the designers are heavily promoting the return of the Maxi.

MAXI OR PATIO DRESS, AND WHY?
I'll use both as a term, but generally like to stick more to "maxi" for a long dress, and "patio" for a more traditional 50s circle skirt and puffy sleeved blouse.

FAVORITE MAXI DRESS IN YOUR INVENTORY?
Hmm...I think these two:

Both Hawaiian, both so glam, both perfect for pool parties!

AS A TREND, WILL IT BE A HIT OR A MISS?
It's a somewhat tough one to pull off, you definitely need to be a tall thin gal, but it's a great look if you can do it.

DO YOU WEAR MAXI DRESSES OR SKIRTS?
Yes I do, when I have the opportunity. For certain!

PROS AND CONS?
Pros, I'm glad to see the return of the maxi length - too many sellers for years have been cutting them short short short, down into minis, and I hate to see that. It's also a very glamourous look - you can be casual and comfortable, yet still have a bit of glam. Cons, sometimes, some maxi dresses are just...eeek! You have to be choosey and pick something that's timeless and classic - some of the 70s versions are just, well, hideous! :-)

Vintage or Bust! Blog Tag Wednesday ~Mad Men or Mod?~

It's Wednesday's eVintage blog tag time! Today’s theme...the 60’s. Are you a MAD MEN kinda gal (ritzy cocktail dresses, wiggle silhouette, draped and ruched silk chiffon, pointy toe stilettos, a cigarette and martini) or a MOD dolly (sleek lines, go go boots, oversize sunglasses, pilgrim buckle square toe shoes, paper dresses, micro mini skirts, patterened tights, white lipstick and fake lashes)? Do tell.

MOD OR MAD MEN?
Most definitely Mad! Love that whole vintage Vegas look, it's fantastic.

FAVE PIECE IN YOUR INVENTORY FITTING THE BILL?
For the guys, I'm going with these - this fantastic lemon yellow swinging 60s monogrammed shirt from Miami...

and this fab Sinatra suede Hush Puppies hat...


For the ladies...this dramatic Pauline Trigeré

and this spectacular slubbed silk Estevez evening coat...


ICONIC EARLY 60s STARLET?
Hmm...I think Brigette Bardot - fantastic.


LATE 60’s?
Raquel Welch, absolutely!


SINATRA OR THE SWINGIN’ 60s SCENE?
But of course...the Chairman of the Board!
