Novelty Print of the Day -- MARIACHI BAND 1950's High Waist Capri Pants

Such a FUN mariochi print on these vintage high waist capri pants! I love the bold colors on white. Look at those cute little ties just under the knees. So unique, and fit to show off curves, for sure. I love people prints on clothes, especially when the people are doing something fun like playing instruments in sombreros!

Wednesday Wishlist :: LABEL LOVE // Wondrous Wenjilli

About 6 years ago, when I first started selling vintage clothing online via Ebay I found this AMAZING dress that I have regretted selling ever since. It was dark brown metallic knit, long, and form fitting. It also had this tiny peek-a-boo crocheted area on the bodice that I thought was especially lovely. I made it a point at the time to remember the label WENJILLI because I loved the dress so much! Yes, that dress was unforgettable and as a matter of fact ended up being one of my best sales on Ebay. Recently, I was wishing I had a picture to show you guys, when I thought, "OF COURSE! I bet I'll find one on Etsy!" :)

I would love to know more about the background and history of the label Wenjilli, but the only thing I've really found out through researching online is that these dresses were made in Hong Kong in the 1970's.

Aren't they just gorgeous?


I love the copper color & cowl neck on this one from seller

The Classy Side:: Tuesday Shop Update

My style is constantly evolving, as it often tends to do for most people. However, I've realized there seems to be a consistent love of looks bordering between the good girl and bad girl sides of me. One side of this equation is the desire to be ladylike, classy, and feminine. Sometimes there's nothing like waking up and putting on a 50's day dress, complete with cap sleeves & full pleated skirt to instantly provide that feeling. :) These items from the shop best illustrate what I'm trying to explain. . .

Tomorrow, let's discuss the badass side, because that's always fun too. hahah. ;)

We're After the Same Rainbow's End. . .

In light of twitter's Music Monday, I am inspired today to extend the "listen to this" spirit to my dear blogger friends. Moon River has been one of my very favorite songs since I can remember. The lyrics are so touching that I honestly get the chills whenever I hear this song, no matter who is singing it. It's one of those songs that might even make you cry sometimes because it's so beautiful. The Karen Peris version does this to me, but then again, most of her lovely songs do. :)

Good ole' Frank Sinatra. Smooth and beautiful.



How about you, what song gives you the chills?
