in the shop & a winner

I feel like it's been ages since I've had a substantial shop update. I'm working on that, promise! Until that point, here are a few lovelies that will be going up in the shop this afternoon. It's hard to let that 1940s silk number go, but alas, I am.

I'm also excited to announce the winner of last weeks Abbey's Accessories giveaway. Congratulations to Olygirl, who will be receiving the 1950s faux fur beret just in time for holiday outings!

AND...I almost forgot! I'm offering free domestic shipping in the shop this week so head over and take advantage of some most excellent savings. All you need is the coupon code, HolidayLove!

a little music mix

Several weeks ago, my mom and I hosted a lingerie shower for my cousin, Carrie. I put together a little mix with music from some of my favorite ladies for the occasion and meant to share it that week. Oops! Better late than never, I suppose.





And...Last week's giveaway came to a close last night. Congratulations to Lynda on winning the $50 gift certificate to the shop! I just got back from a buying trip where I swept up tons of new vintage goodies. Lots of black velvet. Lots of party dresses. And lots of cuteness will ensue shortly so stay tuned!

mixing prints & another giveaway

Today's warm weather made shooting these two pieces so pleasant! One 1970s Floral Halter + 1960s Pea Green Print Skirt = The Perfect Print Mix! Both of these lovelies will be up in the shop later this evening, so stay tuned if you like what you see.

A couple of ya'll made the comment yesterday that you're not on Facebook, and I have to say...I commend you! I also have to say it made me a little sad that you wouldn't be able to participate in the $50 Dalena Vintage gift certificate giveaway we're having over there. Well, to make it up to you I teamed up with Quincy of Q's Daydream for another Dalena Vintage giveaway. It's not a gift certificate but it is a rather cute 1960s Sailor Schoolgirl Hat as you'll see below! Head over to her lovely blog to enter and don't blame me if you quickly become addicted to her adorably quirky posts!
