Happy Wednesday Lovelies! It's sunny as ever here in So Cal- this entire week has been in the 70's and 80's! I am so grateful to have this little haven in the midst of Winter- it's so unusual, even for here, but I have no complaints. Winter weather is good for me in the few weeks prior to Christmas and then I'm content with the sunshine- haha!
Now that I'm done giving the weather forecast ( I realize I do that a lot ;), let's talk vintage. This dress is the first 1940's piece I have ever owned. It was sent to me, courtesy of Kodachrome Nostalgia. Oh my word, I seriously love this vintage hub- the items for sale are all so beautiful, and the shop's overall feel is so clean and professional. Right now I am loving their gorgeous coats and dresses, and this amazing straw hat from the 1950s- definitely take a moment to stop by and look- it's so much fun to browse these incredible pieces.
Let me just take a moment to say- I am in LOVE with Mac's Russian Red Lipstick. I have been searching for the perfect red for several years, and I have finally found it. The texture is perfect- it has a matte look, but the feel of a satin. And the color is pure genius- not to orange, not to blue and just the right balance of dark and bright. Definitely recommending this product!!
This adorable little hat/headband is from a lovely Etsy shop called Eye Heart Me. If you are vintage hat lover, than you know how tricky it is to find affordable vintage reproduction hats. This pretty little beret costs only $28 and comes in seven different colors! The detailing is so beautiful as well- I love the crystal brooch with the feather accents. I am wearing the beige.
I am guest posting a DIY over at Eccentric Owl today, so if you are in a crafty mood, swing on by!

Lovely well paced grouping of pictures. The red berries are the perfect accent to this lovely navy dress. The lip and nail color pulls it all together in a complete circle of stylish wonder!

You look gorgeous in this- the 40s silhouette also works really well for you as the 50s one does. That hat is too cute; I'll have to check out the company.
Love, love, love the dress and the hat! I've always wanted to be able to wear vintage dresses, but I think I'd have to lose a LOT of weight first!
Absolutely stunning photographs, you look like an old hollywood movie star!
So beautiful!

Agreed! The perfect red and you pull it off beautifully! I wish they still made fabrics like that and someone point me to a pattern with that unusual bodice! Too cute!
Ohh summery weather sounds glorious!
What a cute little hat! Love it!

Man, this is making me wish I was back in SoCal more than anything! I can't remember if I've ever asked, what part do you live in? We should meet up next time I'm home (I'm from Anaheim) if you're close!
And this dress is absolutely gorgeous!
