twenty-seven names

If there are any gaps in my spring wardrobe, they come in the form of navy and white polka dots (can't get enough of those right now) and a little white dress. It seems that twenty-seven names has the answer to both of those.



I especially like the little white dresses. That's a piece of my wardrobe that has eluded me for some time now. Every one I find ends up making me feel a bit too precious, if you know what I mean. I don't know... wearing all white always makes me feel a bit conspicuous. That and I know it won't be long before I've spilled something all down the front. But somehow I think I could make an exception for one of these.

Lay down, sleep my little darling I'll be nothing when you're gone..

So, here is the bird print dress that I was referring to just the other day. I'm afraid in the photos it may not come across as a bird print, but rather some abstract blue and white design. If you look closely you'll see that it's actually little white birds sitting on a wire.

I also want to take a moment to let you know that one of my generous sponsors would like to offer a discount to all of my readers! Be sure to stop by Revolving Styles and check out her lovely vintage dresses. If something catches your eye, just send her a convo with the words "Sally Jane" and she'll give you 10% your purchase.

Flickr Faves

I'm always on the prowl for great vintage photos on Flickr and lately there seems to be no end to the wonderful discoveries I've found. Some real gems! Jessica came across the most amazing set of vintage photos at an antique store and was such a doll to scan them all to share with the ol' internets. They're seriously some of the best vintage photos I've even laid eyes on! I sort of want to spend my whole summer hanging out on a tree branch by the lake with a couple of gal pals. Then there's the 1935-1944 set that I discovered through Francesca. And of course there are a couple from old fave mrwaterslide who always has something interesting to look at.

Bird Prints

Super adorable Behati Prinsloo

Would it be terrible to start this post by saying bird prints are really taking off? Flying of the shelves? Har, har, har! Yep, pretty terrible. Perhaps instead we should begin by discussing how frickin' adorable Behati Prinsloo is in her bird cage print dress and Where the Wild Things Are crown . That just may go down as one of the best prints I've ever spotted. According to the photo credit it's a vintage dress so there's no luck getting my hands on one. Wah-wah.



Usually if I end up in a print, which is not too often I think, it's a floral one or perhaps a classic stripe. But bird prints are quickly becoming a favorite. It seems I'm not the only one; there's The Clothes Horse in her Modcloth dress and The Glamourai in her amazing Hayden Harnett dress.


Luella, Miss Selfridge, Kate Moss for Topshop

I think my favorite version of the print are the simple black and white ones. The Miss Selfridge one is tempting me. There's something a bit dark and Hitchcockian about the swirling flocks that offsets the sweet silhouette of the dress. Looking at these reminds me that I just found a bird-on-a-wire wrap dress at a local vintage shop that I need to wear soon. I think I also have an old bird print Urban Outfitters dress hanging in the back of my closet somewhere. Shop my closet, right?!
