Remember the good ole' days when arcades only cost a penny? Yeah - me either! I guess nowadays it would have to be called DollarLand.

Dreamy Dresses

Over the last couple of weeks, I've saved all of these photos into my style inspiration folder. It wasn't until last night that I noticed the same pastel pink theme running through all of them. First we have the always lovely Effie in perhaps the prettiest vintage dress I've ever laid eyes on. Next is this ruffled number captured on the streets of NYC by super.fantastic.picture.time. Then we have Betty and Alix both rocking the same floaty dress by Topshop. So... this realization sent me on a late night internet hunt for something equally dreamy.

My favorite find is this ruffled dress being sold at Pret a Portabello. Did you know you could shop London's famed market online? Now we know! Next is the very same Topshop dress worn so well by Alix and Betty. A couple of great stateside alternatives are this dress from Forever 21 and this one by Urban Outfitters. Oh! Decisions, decisions.

dress: vintage (Fairfax Flea Market)
shoes: vintage (Salvation Army, PA)
purse: vintage (America's Thrift, B'ham, AL)

This little vintage dress is one of my all time favorites! If for no other reason than it's made up entirely of bandannas sewn together and trimmed with white rick-rack. Oh, how I miss the Fairfax Flea Market. I used to walk there almost every Sunday when I lived in LA. Yet another reason to wish I was there this weekend. :)

Wishing I Was In LA...

If you happen to be in Los Angeles this weekend, don't miss out on the best party in town! Everyone is invited to the launch party for The Vintage Society. Stop by and meet the fabulous Beth and mingle with all the other Society Girls. This is certainly making me wish I was still living in LA!

Today at Sally Jane Vintage

Here's your sneak peek at all the pretties that will be posting in the store later today. Be sure to stop by and check them out. Lots of summery shorts and dresses, more rompers and high waists. Thanks so much! - SJ

I guess all I'm missing is a crystal ball. Would you like me to read your fortune? ;)

Victory At Last!

Like so many others, I haven't been able to stop staring at this lovely girl that the Face Hunter snapped on the street. I'm loving her look from head to toe (except the white tights, for which it is much too hot at this point - maybe later). I quickly made an inventory in my head of what items I would need to recreate a look inspired by her: pleated black skirt, nude lacy sweater, black and white oxfords. I plan on keeping a keen eye out at the thrift store on my next trip.

Luckily, the black and white oxfords can be crossed off that list. After all of my recent Ebay woes, I did not have high hopes that these would end up in my hands (or on my feet as the case may be). I placed a bid, walked away and pretty much forgot about them. I was thrilled last night to find that I had won the auction. It's a bloody miracle! Expect to see them in W_R soon!
