Vintage Manolo Blahniks!!!
I was so thrilled to find this today! The Manolos today are sharp, stunning and striking with those stiletto heels, but this boot is a true classic. I think it's from the late 70's... A short boot with a small heel, it's just perfect for downtown. Given the rare find in this pretty shade of purple, the suede looks and feels great!

Very Good Condition
Size: Labeled 37.5, but fits like a true 37 or 7

Bohemian style sheer tunic with feminine details

You can wear this with a pair of skinny jeans or with leggings. It has an elastic waist so you can wear it high or low (with or without a belt). Look at the sleeves and the pockets (yes, pockets!).

Layer this with a nice chunky sweater when there's a chill in the air or just wear it flow alone in the spring. You can't go wrong with this easy piece!

AN ANGELIC WEDDING DRESS




If angels got married, the "bride" would wear something like this vintage wedding gown!
I tried to capture the details of this dress: the scalloped edges, the halter strap (you can probably get this removed and make it into a strapless), the gorgeous lace overlay, and paillettes that give the perfect amount of sparkle. 1940's/1950's style.

The original label highlights a Brazilian designer, but I can't make out the name. Beautifully constructed - HAND MADE.

As a stylist, I envision the woman who wears this dress to be small framed:
  • about a 32 bust (with minimal fullness)
  • either short waisted to normal waisted (definitely not for the long waisted woman)
  • can be either tea length for the taller woman or floor length for the shorter woman.
I'm 5'2" and it fits me perfectly in the waist and length (with high heels which is very rare)!

The color is antique white.

Size: Labeled 40 (I measured a 24in waist)

Excellent Condition - just needs to be refreshed and you'll be ready to walk down the aisle!
Price: $800

"MY BLUE SUEDE SKIRT"



Oh, this is so yummy!

Deep midnight blue, the softest nubuck suede, medium length skirt with kick pleats. Lays very nice on the body. You can go Boho chic with a loose top, cinch your waist with a wide belt and put on a nice pair of stacked heel boots OR go more classic... Up to you!

Size: 26in. waist (US2)
Perfect Condition

Price: $120

SSSSSSSSSNAKE SKIN PURSE



If you're tired of all the big designer handbags, stand out with this versatile and unique vintage purse. No one else will have this purse but you! The shoulder strap is detachable to make this into a stylish clutch.

Skin: Snake with lizard accent, inside of flap is suede
Colors: grey, ivory and black
Excellent condition
