Not Christmas Specific...

but festive nonetheless.

A Grace Kelly Christmas

1970s Nina Ricci on Ebay

I think this is a very cool chic boho dress (rather than boho chic). Although the black and gray makes for a drab ensemble the shape and frill (not to mention velvet bodice) make it a fun party dress. I might where it with stacked red suede Louboutins IN MY DREAMS!!! By the way, I think that vintage Nina Ricci gets really overlooked on ebay on often is very affordable (not the case with this dress), so keep your eyes peeled.

Party Dress Perfection - Vintage YSL

This amazing party dress is on ebay right now for about $600 dollars US. Pricey, and small, but amazing. A testament to what a holiday party dress should be.

1960s Hippie De Luxe Coat by Bill Blass

This coat is hippie de luxe perfection. It is on ebay and the bidding is at $71 dollar US. 3 bids so far with 6 days to go, this gem is going to go for A LOT. It is really gorgeous, it is like something a prim Talitha Getty would wear!

Vintage Geoffrey Beene on Ebay

I think this is a lovely holiday gown, a bit conservative, but also very Grace Kelly. I wanted to set up the link for this, but it kept screwing up the images, if you want more info I can send the link, although this dress is about $600, and you might not get a lot of use out of it. Merry Regal Christmas.

Holiday Wear

I feel like when it comes to holiday wear, all bets are off. As far as I'm concerned at a holiday party you can wear whatever you want (as far as dress clothes are concerned). Tacky, avante garde, vintage, retro, it is all good. With that in mind I am going to present some possible holiday dresses for you guys. I still haven't found a holiday dress for myself, but I'm hoping to get some inspiration from ebay! Too bad it is too late to buy a dress on ebay in time for the holidays! Above is a still from the holiday party in Meet Me in St. Louis.

Christmas Time Is Here Again...

Hi all, I've been away from the blog for awhile, got a job, but lost the drive to write and post. I think that I also lost my inspiration for fashion! However, with the holiday season upon us and so many fun parties to go to, I have regained my want to dress fancy and look pretty! I wore a great vintage 60s Star Trek looking dress to a party last weekend on a whim (my friend gave it to me awhile ago and I thought that I would never wear it), and it was a hit! So I decided outrageous vintage is going to be my look for the holiday season. I've been shopping around on ebay, but I think that this is going to have to be a Jewish Women's Council Thrift Store operation (these are located in the L.A. area). The JWC Thift shops are great for affordable vintage in good shape (by affordable I mean there are deals, but things are not cheap), and a good selection. I don't trust ebay for vintage dresses because of sizing, but I have found lots of great coats to go over the dresses which usually work - there will be an upcoming post on coats found on ebay. Anyway it is my hope to post 12 days of holiday dresses (we'll see). At least I can post the one dress that I wore the other night. I'm going to use Miss Yvonne as model of how I want my holiday wardrobe to look. Go big or go home!
