VPOD: Golden Goddess
2007-12-11 09:12:00
For centuries, gold has been associated with wealth and power. In fact, the Inca's of South America considered gold to be the "sweat of the Sun," their most important deity.Fortunately, these days, you don't need to be a queen or religious leader in order to wear gold. Today's VPOD is available to any gal who hopes to turn heads. This striking little frock is by Alfred Shaheen (yes, that same Alfred Shaheen of the colorful Hawaiian prints). Here, his screenprinting takes a subtle turn on a knife-pleated skirt and simple bodice. Add the gold rope belt and the goddess look is complete.It's an ethereal find for a vintage fashionista!Available at Unique Boutique NYC.(To receive the VPOD via email with detailed size, price and purchase information, sign up for my growing email mailing list here.

VPOD: Cuff Her!
2007-12-10 07:44:00
The last episode of Project Runway (yes, I'm a fan!) challenged the designers to freshen up some outdated trends like overalls, shoulder pads, flares, and neon. With neon so prominent on the Spring 2008 runways, however, it seems that some current designers beat them to the punch. Which just goes to show that everything old becomes new again. And great designs are always in style.For instance, look at today's VPOD. This silver mesh cuff bracelet is accented with deep, rich onyx stones of varying sizes. And this fabulous little number is by Andrea Kaufman from the 1960s. Yet it's still fresh. Still clean. Still contemporary. And it would have held its own in the Bloomingdale jewelry cases I was browsing over the weekend.It's an oldie but a goodie for a vintage fashionista!Available at Frock.(To receive the VPOD via email with detailed size, price and purchase information, sign up for my growing email mailing list here.

VPOD: Compact Glamour
2007-12-06 09:07:00
Used to be, if you loved girly things like perfume and makeup and pretty clothes you were labeled prissy. And when you loved being outdoors, hiking and biking, or doing "male" jobs like fixing cars or building houses, you were labeled a tomboy. Hallelujah that the lines between the girly girls and the tomboys are blurring. It doesn't need to be an either/or proposition people!For instance, this 1960s compact would look great whether it's pulled from the pocket of your overalls or from your leather briefcase. And since it converts to hold loose powder, you can refill it over and over again with today's latest and greatest makeup concoctions as you see fit.And oh, just look at that woman on the lid! She appears intelligent, confident, sexy and stylish. She's a reminder that we women are a force to be reckoned with. As Helen Reddy used to sing, "I am woman; hear me roar!" Just don't catch me with a shiny nose.It's a fabulous little gift for a vintage fashionista!Available at ...

VPOD: Learning to Print
2007-12-05 07:25:00
Radley, the British clothing manufacturer, often borrowed design elements from the Quorum designers, Ossie Clark and Alice Pollock. And those design elements are clearly evident in today's VPOD.This 1970s silk chiffon dress by Radley is stunning with a fabulous chocolate print, plunging haltar neckline and one of those skirts that is sure to swish when you sashay. It's a fab little party dress for a vintage fashionista!Available at Shrimpton Couture.(To receive the VPOD via email with detailed size, price and purchase information, sign up for my growing email mailing list here.

VPOD: Red Hot Lingerie
2007-12-04 08:39:00
I recently acquired about a hundred vintage Vogue magazines from the 1930s and I've been trying not to drool over all the glamorous fashions of the era. And that glamour extended to the lingerie of the era as well with absolutely gorgeous dressing gowns, camisoles and peignor sets.Today's VPOD features an extraordinary bra and tap panty set from the early 1930s. Red silk and French lace create a very ooh-la-la ensemble that is in mint/unworn condition. Put it in the ring in a head-to-head bout with a contemporary La Perla and it would win with a knockout in the first round.It's an ultra-glamorous find for a vintage fashionista!Available at Silver Screen Loungerie.(To receive the VPOD via email with detailed size, price and purchase information, sign up for my growing email mailing list here.

VPOD: Mesh It Up
2007-12-03 08:53:00
Whiting & Davis began making metal mesh by hand in the 1800s. Although today it's machine-made, Whiting & Davis is still the major supplier of wholesale mesh for fashion designers around the world.Today's VPOD features a 1970s vintage scarf made of the famous Whiting & Davis liquid mesh. Though lightweight like cloth, it's formed from interlocking metal links. And though this scarf design may have been quite popular during the Disco Era, this purple color is much more rare than the common silver or gold versions. It's a fun accessory for a vintage fashionista!Available at MidCenturyChic.com.(To receive the VPOD via email with detailed size, price and purchase information, sign up for my growing email mailing list here.

VPOD: Glamour Girl Blouses
2007-11-30 07:27:00
Somewhere in the last few decades, the t-shirt became the article of clothing that you slipped on to feel comfortable. And somehow, ever so slowly, with one step at a time, it integrated its way into fashion. Sort of the way a deadly virus takes over its host. I'm sorry, but unlike many women living out here in LA, I don't agree that there's a t-shirt for every occasion. Sure they now come in cashmere or embellished to look dressy for special occasions, but why wear a glitzy tee when you can be just as comfortable and look just as polished in one of today's VPODs.These blouses, one each from the 1940s and 1950s are just as easy to slip on as a tee. Just as comfy to wear with jeans. Just as easy to wear out. Yet they're a whole lot classier, don't you think? They're glamour girl finds for a vintage fashionista!Available at Wear It Again Sam.(To receive the VPOD via email with detailed size, price and purchase information, sign up for my growing email mailing list here.
