She makes me want to wear hats/buy hats/and sell hats. Her shop is quite beautiful, and if you haven't seen it <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/PoppycockVintage">you must!</a>
<br><br>
A couple of weeks ago I had an antiquing trip near where I live and found some real cute "lids"* that are finally all listed in <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/LolaVintage">the shop!</a>
<br><br>
*I had one of my favorite hats on last year around Thanksgiving and an older man probably in his early 70s told me at Trader Joe's that he liked my "lid". Thought that was pretty cute. :)
<br><br>
You'll also now find in the shop a <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/LolaVintage">pretty pleated wool suit, alpaca poncho (which I also listed as a skirt because I think it would look darling worn as one), a dirndl (favorite dress style ever, maybe), St. John metallic knit skirt suit, Rhinestone constellation dress, reindeer sweater</a>, and some other vintage pretties.
<br><br>
HAPPY HOLIDAYS, everyone! (can't believe 2012 is almost over).
How in the WORLD did that even happen?!

<br />
and the <span style="font-size: large;"><b>most wonderful friends of all</b></span> are the ones who take you out to dance, especially for your birthday! I was a happy, happy girl when a few of friends took me out this weekend to see my faaaavorite cover band of all time, the <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;"><a href="http://www.mega80s.com/">MEGA 80's.</a></span></span> Going to see these guys is ALWAYS such a blast, and that's very apparent when 2 o' clock in the morning rolls around and I've lost my voice and my feet are killing me from cuttin up a rug!<br />
<br />
These guys play a first set which includes all kinds of pop rock and one-hit wonders from the 80's (think simple minds, j. geils band, corey hart, etc...) then there's an intermission and when they come back on stage, <span style="font-size: large;"><b>get ready to rock</b> -- it's time for MEGA METAL.</span> hahhaha! The 2nd set is ALL glam rock - cheap trick, great white, whitesnake, def leppard, etc) I LOOOOOOOOOVe it! And the best part of all is that we were able to get on stage & dance & sing with the band for the last song of the night, and one of my faves of all time - I love Rock & Roll, by the one and only Joan Jett. <br />
<br />
It's even more exciting seeing all of the people who dress up for the night. I always try to!
If you live in the Mitten, I suggest you check them out one of these evenings, I can just about guarantee you won't regret it! <br />
<br />

and I have a confession... I really want to keep each and every one of these, so you will be doing me a <span style="font-size: large;"><b>huge favor</b></span> by taking them from me. Practicing the art of resisting temptation lately BIG TIME in more than just one area of my life. believe me, it's a challenge for this girl. <span style="color: #cc0000;">#Disciplinedisciplinediscipline.</span> ;) <br />
<br />
Felt so lucky when I found four 1950s sweaters in a row while thrifting. a rare occurrence for thrifting - and they are all in perfect condition too! Fit for a bombshell!<br />

It's always so much fun to dress up & go out! I'm seriously floored every year at how creative some people are with their costumes. I can't take much credit. My kitten outfit was really simple - just a leopard print jumpsuit and some black make-up on my face. EASY BREEZY, people!
Here are some highlights from a night of entertaining disguises - can you spot <b>Princess Leia? Coco Chanel? Frida Kahlo?</b> And initially I thought one guy was Orville Redenbacher, but I was wrong! Can you guess who he is? Isn't <b>Lollipop girl</b> adorable? (that crown!)<br />
<br />
My fave of the entire night was the girl in the last photo. She was probably sick of my compliments by the end of the night, but I couldn't stop going on and on about her cosutme, it's FANTASTIC, and entirely homemade!<br />

Newest arrivals brought to you by the month of November! Brr, is it getting cold out there! Stay warm in pretty printed velvet, sweater blouses, long sleeves, angora & wool, and cozy & cute coats. I'm starting to think that I should have sold that grey sweater & the plaid skirt together, because they make such a darling outfit. <br />
<br />
Visit <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/LolaVintage">the shop</a></span> to view these recently listed goodies, oh and let me know what you think about my new shop & blog banner, which I FINALLY got around to making. I'm pretty happy with it. :)<br />
<br />
Have a lovely week, dears!

Hello online pals, I've been away for a bit. Sometimes it's needed to give perspective on things. I was on the west side of the state for a few days, and while there I had a vintage appointment scoring a couple of 40s suits that I cannot wait to put into the shop so definitely STAY TUNED! I'll share more about this trip hopefully later this week! :)
<br>
<br>This is one of my favorite early fall outfits because of the colors. The wool cardigan is a necessity for this one, though. Take it off, and I'm dressed for summer again. p.s. Isn't that little kitten pin cuter than candy? He might just be my favorite part of this entire ensemble. *meow*

Say hello to October's first shop update - full of vintage goodies to keep you warm & looking pretty for fall. I have many personal faves from this recent batch of goodies!
The fuzzy shearling hat reminds me of a baked alaska pie, the first sweater with the floral embroidery instantly charmed me, and the color of the 1960s wool coat (pumpkin spice) I thought perfect for cool Autumn days at the apple orchard. <br /><br />

Today I've got a ton of running around to do, and I want to be comfortable! Recently purchased this cute vintage 50s pumpkin orange full skirt and thought it perfect for today's errands. I feel festive! Need to buy some carving pumpkins now. :)
<br />
<br />
Can't believe I'm braiding my hair these days too, I usually wear it down and the same way almost ALWAYS, but thought I should take advantage of this warm sunshiny weather before my head's covered in hats soon. Neat fact side note: That dark blue jean (zipperless) bag was made by my dad's Amish friend - I love their simplicity in design!
<br />
<br />
Wishing you a wonderful and productive week, internet friends!<br />

Telephone cord purses, or <span style="font-size: large;"><b>coil bags</b></span> (as they were called in the '40s & '50s) were apparently a big hit during war rationing. Aren't they neat? Candy for the eyes. I want one, and I'm pretty sure one of these just might be my next gift to myself. :)

<b><span style="font-size: large;">CHANGE.</span> </b>
It's happening. School has started, the nights are getting too cold even for fresh air from the fan in my window, and the watermelons in my dad's garden are ripe and ready to be picked & savored before it's too cold to do so. <br />
<br />
On top of that two of my siblings who currently live very near to me are moving away! While I'm super excited and happy for them, I'm a little sad on the inside because, well it's been so nice having family so close. I know I can count on them whenever I need to, and vice versa. Thankfully, my sis will only be about 20 minutes away, but my brother (and I'm literally holding back tears as I type this...) will be moving to the other side of the state - Lake Michigan, in fact. I know, I know, it's not *that* far, it's not like he's moving to the other side of the country or anything. I'm just very close to him and it will be so hard not to be able to see him as regularly as I do now.
<br />
<br />
Change is good though, right? I'm trying to stay positive about all of these changes. Trying HARD. It's always tough when people you love move away!
<br />
<br />
<b>On the bright side,</b> I'm excited about my son's school year. We've got soccer, orchestra, and chess club busy-ness for extra curriculars, but I've been actually PLANNING the Sunday before so things have been running smoothy. (YES!) Planning is way awesome (who knew?) :p
<br />
<br />
<b>Additionally</b>, my part time job as a writing tutor has been incredibly rewarding so far this term. I've met some AMAZING people and have made a few kind and wonderful women friends. Having this position has been such a good balance to working at home for me. It's seriously so inspiring to see how writing has positively affected people in their lives. Also, I <b>love</b> getting dressed up for work a couple of days out of the week. :) More about this later!
<br />
<br />
<b>LAST BUT NOT LEAST,</b> I'm thrilled about possibly expanding the shop this year with vintage books and jewelry. There's another little surprise in the works as well, but it's an idea that's just recently been born and I will tell you more about it after I know more.<br /><br>
Have a lovely week, babes! <span style="background-color: #cc0000;"></span><span style="color: #cc0000;"> </span><br />

Hope there's a theme of "it's-getting-a-tad-chillier-out-there" apparent here. :)
My favorite item of the week is the vintage <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/109319669/1970s-kimono-dress-novelty-print-dress">70s kimono dress</a> with flying cranes! oh, you know how I love those novelty prints! How about that kitschy kitty vest too? so fun...MEOW.
Have a great weekend!

Tel-Aviv based artist <b><a href="http://www.etsy.com/people/TigerLiliGems">Julia Berg</a></b> is the woman responsible for the creation of these beauties. I feel as if my eyes are tricking me because of how much the crocheted chain resembles crocheted detail on a metallic dress!<br />

<br />
such a sweet combination! <br />
Fell in love with this vintage 70s blouse that I thrifted just within the last week or so. It was actually part of a skirt set, and while the 22" waist of the skirt was never going to fit this waistline in a million years, *thankfully* somehow the top fit perfectly. There are 2 tags and one reads "Mandy Pothecary" and the second attached tag, "Fabric by <b>Liberty of London</b>" - this didn't surprise me in the least, and completely explains that beautiful cotton floral print. There's a nice little write up about the incredible textiles of this company <span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://www.designsponge.com/2010/04/past-present-liberty-of-london-part-1.html">here</a></b></span>. I adore the smocking at the waist & off - shoulder neckline too. Kept thinking, "this is so me." Bright red linen pants also thrifted a while ago -ridiculously comfortable. Can I please wear linen pants every day? Lastly, being big enough only for essentials, that tiny vintage floral leather purse has served me well this summer, and I love when it accidentally matches my outfits!

If you've been following my blog or twitter for a while, it's no secret that <b>summer is my favorite season!</b> Being warm and outdoors just makes me happy, what can I say? Wanted to share a few sparkling moments of my life from these past few bright & sunshiny perfect months...
Doesn't that bit from Emily Dickinson above just say it all? :)
<br />
<br />
In order:
<br />
1. I jumped in the pool with one of my favorite vintage dresses on - it was utterly exhilarating, and I love the picture my sister snapped.
<br />
2. Saw a double rainbow ("oh my god, all the way!" :p)
<br />
3. Lake day -I was on a date right here! <br />
4. Finally took my boy to the Lego store which is located in a mall about an hour away. Lego-addict, that one! He was in HEAVEN. <br />
5. Made some new girlfriends. Steph, in the middle, has a <a href="http://www.okiedokieartichokie.me/">food blog</a> with pics & recipes that will make your mouth water!
<br />
6. Pressed a bunch of flowers from my backyard for memories of summer, 2012. I loved the bleeding hearts best.<br />
7. My sis & I attacking my mama with kisses for a picture. We were *so happy* she visited for a few days!
<br />
8. The ladies of my family toasting my sis on the beginning of her 3rd decade of life. ♥ She's darn lucky to have a summer birthday, and I tell her that every single year. <br />
9. <span style="font-size: medium;"><b>♫</b></span>sittin' on the dock o' the bay<span style="font-size: medium;"><b>♫</b></span> . . . sippin on a rum & coke watching the sun go down. That day may have just been my favorite day of the entire year. :) <br />
<br />
Hope all of you had some sparkling summer moments of your own! Fall is just around the corner, and though I'm excited about buying cardigans & getting cozy, I know it won't be long after till I'm pining for July again. . .

I can't believe it's August already, can you? You'll notice the transition from summer to fall in the shop as I start adding some cozy & warm items gradually... hope you find something you like! My favorite of all right now is that first skirt - it's a 1960s silk watercolor pencil skirt and BELIEVE ME if I could fit into it, I would be keeping it. I'm CRAZY about that print!

I never ever got into the skirt-as-a-dress trend, that is until I came upon this way pretty 70s skirt, which is obviously made for someone about a foot taller than me! I went crazy for the print - bright & bold flowers bursting out all over the place & blue birds too. Also, after I saw how much fabric it was actually made of, I knew it would be even better moving on a body. First time I'm doing the skirt-as-a-dress and I love it! Was playing with the idea of super short hair too, which is why I stuffed it all into my hat for the 2nd pic. One day I'll actually muster the courage to chop it all off. . . one day. <span style="font-size: large;"><b> </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Happy Friday, friends! Shop update coming tomorrow mornin'! :)

Currently reading up on the Edwardian era of fashion, and learning about many of the famous actresses of the time. None of the women mesmerize me like <b><span style="font-size: large;">Theda Bara</span></b>!
Those big kohl-heavy eyes likely spellbound many back then. She was one of the first sex symbols in film and dubbed the VAMP of the black & white movie era. Isn't she such a beauty? I'd love to do a photo shoot inspired by her look...Jessica / Lola Vintagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09732163073312184997noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4203330331767498798.post-20724382367761543182012-07-16T11:25:00.000-07:002012-08-20T05:34:06.754-07:00Mini Wrap<center>

This is probably the miniest of the mini dresses that I will wear this summer. I couldn't pass up that pretty asian-inspired floral print. Isn't it great? and Shhhhhh! Between you and me -- I actually found this little frock in the pajama section when I was thrifting, but I think it works <b>fine</b> as a little dress! (breakin' rules) :p It's suuuuper soft & silky too, and fits me quite well. not vintage, but still a keeper. Wrap dresses are so easy to wear, and flattering for all body types! Think I might layer this with tights & a cardigan in the fall too, it's so comfortable! What do you think, good rule breakin' or bad rule breakin'?Jessica / Lola Vintagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09732163073312184997noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4203330331767498798.post-37752902845345983292012-07-09T08:20:00.000-07:002012-08-20T05:34:26.560-07:00What You'd Expect, Part 2<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is 1 of 2 shop updates for the weekend, only because I haven't posted one in AGES and I want to share some of the pretties I've been listing within the past month or so! Again, I'm sorry for the lack of posts my dear friends. I'm a work in progress and so is my shop/blog/online life. BALANCE is key & I'm still working on that.
<br />
<br />
But as usual, the update is (hopefully) what you'd expect from Lola Vintage -- ruffles, some florals, lace, bows, and the other details that make an item especially feminine. :)
<br />
<br />
All these pieces are currently available <span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/LolaVintage">in the shop!</a></b></span> <br />
<br />
p.s. the first dress pictured I purchased from a huge antique mall after falling head-over-heels in love with it. It came with a note that read, "worn on a barefoot bride with flowers in her hair". I think a soon-to-be bride should make this 1960s beauty come alive again before summer is over!Jessica / Lola Vintagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09732163073312184997noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4203330331767498798.post-48049686662872072112012-06-30T10:34:00.000-07:002012-06-30T10:34:37.546-07:00How To Be A Grouch<center>My bio says that I love vintage books, but I realized that I never share any of them on the blog. These pages are from "How To Be a Grouch" starring that cute green & fuzzy sesame street monster, Oscar! Recently found this one while secondhand shopping with my son. I got such a kick out of it, I had to show you guys. Besides the dress racks, the thrift store bookshelves can be hiding fun old treasures too! </center><center> </center><center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lolavintage/7473378626/" title="IMG_0355 by LoLaVintage, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_0355" height="500" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8168/7473378626_710f583557.jpg" width="397" /></a>

Behold <span style="font-size: large;"><b style="color: #cc0000;">Chairmania!</b></span> Seeing this exhibit made me want to be the size of Tinkerbell so I could try some of these seats out! Which one is your favorite? Can you spot Cherry from Peewee's Playhouse? Found myself wanting to invest in a doll house afterward too. How fun would it be to decorate a little doll house with tiny furniture like this? Am I too old for one? Probably. :p
