Golden Inspiration

There's nothing like a hint of gold to brighten a dreary winter day! Put a little spark in your New Year and incorporate some glimmer of vintage gold into your winter wardrobe.

Sparkle and shine a la Gina Lollobrigida in her shimmering, golden dress! This brocade dress in metallic shades of copper, gold, and bronze from Flannery Crane is a classic piece to incorporate into a wardrobe. Perfect for cocktail parties and martinis with the girls. Step out with pizzazz in these golden 1960's heels from Scarlet Vintage. Your feet deserve to shine, too! Suzy Perette designed this 1950's silk party dress with stunning golden peacocks on a rich, black background (Timeless Vixen Vintage). This vintage ball gown is fit for a princess or a royal affair!

Lady Ellen teams gold with rhinestones for a fabulous hair piece of glistening ribbons (VWayne). Topping off your look with just the right touch of glisten. Soft ivory enchanted with golden flowers brings a hint of class and sophistication to this lovely 1950's dress by Dear Golden Vintage. This two piece dress is perfect for a bridesmaid or flower girl in a vintage inspired wedding!

The New Year is the time to dazzle in sophistication, twinkle in class, and shimmer in shades of gold!

Let's Sail Away

I yearn for the warm sun on my face, gentle wind flowing in my hair, and the sound of waves lapping against the shore. For me, sparkling blue water is simply irresistible. Mark Shaw captured Jackie Kennedy's love of the water in 1961. The photograph of Jackie remains stunning, classic, and timeless.

Capture your love for all things nautical by adding a patriotic 1960's red, white, and blue dress to your wardrobe. Get this Jackie O style dress from Great Grandma Agnes' etsy shop for only $32. Set sail everyday by adding an adorable anchor by Stefeny Stanyer to your sassy summer accessories.

Say goodbye to the ordinary and cruise your way into noticeably stylish with this 80s nautical swimsuit. Complete with gold chains this swimsuit from Back Yard Bird Song is perfect for a day of sailing or a beach party with friends.

Set sail with stylish everyday!

XoXo,

Vicki
