1950's Dress & Swimsuit

I know summer is over, but I just got a 1950's swimsuit and dress. I thought I would add them to my webstore anyways, because the sun is shining somewhere in the world! I like the 50's pink dress because it's casual but really pretty. The black 1950's bathing suit I love, because these type of swimsuits are so flattering on! I have an almost identical one to this, otherwise I would have kept it. I don't know if it's the boning in these 1950's swimsuits or the ruching, but they make your figure look amazing!

Vintage Camping Inspiration

It's finally summer again! For me that means it's time to start planning our camping trip. I'll try to include some vintage items of course, so we'll see what I can dig up. Usually the only vintage items I bring are my 1950's swimsuit & shorts. Here are some cute 1950's vintage pics I found. One is of my grandparents on one of their many camping trips! Enjoy!

Back from the land of Vintage Clothes

Wow, I'm so behind in blogging! I did put a ton of new vintage clothing, swimsuits, etc on my website though! If you would like more info on any of the items, just click on my link near the top left of the blog. Here are a few of the pics. There's a 1950's sun suit, a 1920's dress, a black 1950's swimsuit with red buttons, a 1960's dress with pink flowers, and a pink 50's party dress.

Besides that, I've been hitting up a lot of antique malls, which is probably one of my favorite things in the world to do! What can I say, I love old stuff. Oh, and I also picked up a depression glass powder container with a little deer figure on top. It's one of the cutest things I've ever seen!

Vintage in Vegas!

I love coming home from a vacation with more vintage clothes then I packed! Viva Las Vegas was so much fun, and I picked up some great stuff! Included in my purchases were a black 1950's swimsuit with red buttons, a striped 50's bikini and an adorable 50's summer top! I will try to post some pics asap! I also came home to a beautiful lucite purse and 50's prom gown I had ordered off Ebay. Vintage in the mail is the best! Above is a photo of Betty Grable in Las Vegas in 1954. She's so cute!

Vintage Clothing Deprivation

I haven't been feeling too hot the last couple weeks, so I'd like to apologize for the lack of posting. To top it all off, I tried to go thrift shopping a few times and haven't been able to find anything even close to vintage! Now thats depressing. My last couple thrift shop searches have consisted of wasting hours looking through racks of really bad 90's clothing, low quality halter tops and mini skirts. Maybe thats what caused me to feel not so good? Sigh. Hopefully the next couple weeks will make up for my lack of recent finds. Anyhow, check out the latest goods I managed to find on Ebay. A lace embroidered 1920's dress (talk about fragile!), a 1950's swimsuit, and a snakeskin 1940's shoes and purse set! Here's to outbidding my competitors:)

Another Vintage Swimsuit

Wow, I scored again! My vintage bathing suit collection could never be big enough. Actually, I only have 4 so far, but I'm working on it! I won this gorgeous red suit on Ebay a couple days ago. The description said it was a 1950's swimsuit, but I'm thinking it could be early 1960's as well. Either way, I now have my red suit just in time for summer!

Vintage Bathing Suit Score

I kid you not, I found the black Marilyn Monroe 1950's swimsuit pictured above. The only difference is that mine has a cute halter strap around the neck. My hairstylist sent me the tip last week. She was chatting with the owner of the vintage store beside her salon, when he mentioned he just got a bunch of 1950's bathing suits in. She knows about my obsession, so she called me right away and let me know. Of course I went there right away, and there it was! My dream vintage swimsuit is all mine now. Although I still want an animal print one like Connie Francis is wearing below.
