VPOD: Wainwright Does It Right 2007-11-28 08:47:00 Janice Wainwright may not be as well-known as Ossie Clark, but she trained under Janey Ironside at the Royal College of Art just like he did. Add today's VPOD shows off her talent with a beautiful jacket.Much like Ossie Clark, Janice Wainwright is associated with the use of beautiful, high-quality fabrics, many of which she sourced from other parts of Europe and the Far East. Here, though, it's not so much the black crepe fabric, but the draping and details that catch your eye. A 1970s piece, it feels inspired by the 1940s with its back peplum and cordwork. And the batwing sleeves and front draping are fabulous and freeing.It's a rare find for a vintage fashionista!Available at Appleby Vintage.(To receive the VPOD via email with detailed size, price and purchase information, sign up for my growing email mailing list here.

VPOD: Holiday Bling 2007-11-26 08:06:00 Now that Thanksgiving is over, it's time to turn our attention to the holiday season and I wanted to share this nifty decorating idea I spied in Hallmark Magazine.It seems Laura Beddini in Weston, Connecticut had a grandfather and uncle who once owned Panetta Jewelry in New York City. When the business closed, the leftover jewelry was divided up and Laura received all the clip-on earrings. When she graduated from college and moved to her first apartment she didn't have any Christmas ornaments so she decorated with the jewelry. And what a fabulous idea!The rhinestones and faceted stones sparkle and shine and create a very sophisticated look. Clip-on earrings and brooches work best (although I don't suggest using anything truly valuable in case something gets damaged). It's a great use for a lone earring that's missing its partner or pieces with missing rhinestones. No need to throw them into a landfill. Instead throw them into a box and keep adding to your collection bit by b ...

VPOD: Polished Grey 2007-11-20 08:13:00 Sure there are lots of great dresses out there for your upcoming holiday parties, but there's something about today's VPOD that just screams "cocktails" for me. It may be the icy shade of grey that conjures up visions of cocktail shakers, candelabra and sterling silver trays of canapes. Or maybe it's the simple sophisticated style of an ealier era that accessorizes perfectly with a martini glass.But from any angle, this 1950s vintage cocktail dress has plenty of glamour. The satin bodice combines both a demure bow on the front with a sexy criss-cross back. And the skirt is dreamy floating chiffon. It's an elegant, lady-like find for a vintage fashionista!Available at Mary Moore Vintage.(To receive the VPOD via email with detailed size, price and purchase information, sign up for my growing email mailing list here.

VPOD: Bringing Sexy Back 2007-11-16 08:17:00 I'm all for bringing sexy back. But somehow, it seems like too many of today's young girls think sexy = lots of bare skin. I beg to differ. I think sexy is a state of mind. And a sexy woman looks sexy in well...anything. And sometimes just a hint of what's under the clothing and not on display is far sexier than putting it all out there for the world to see.Take today's VPOD for instance. This 1970s jersey evening gown is tres sexy and it has long sleeves! But that keyhole cut shows just enough cleavage to give it sexy status. And the fabulous beading further accentuates your curves (without any worry of accidentally falling out of your dress!)It's just one way to bring sexy back for a vintage fashionista!Available from lamodevogue on eBay.(To receive the VPOD via email with detailed size, price and purchase information, sign up for my growing email mailing list here.
