wool fishtail applique skirt

Updated May 11, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

It's no secret I love retro things. This wool fishtail skirt would be something I wanted if it was just grey wool, to add appliquéd flowers to the 'tail' make it an unforgettable skirt. Plus, it's made to your size and custom garments always look better than off the rack.

Description

I'm in love with these boots! They meet all my boot requirements. They go up to the calf, are black, are leather, are laced, are heeled and have fun details. Look at that custom heel. Look at the decorations near the top. These boots are amazing, amazing, amazing and I am in MAJOR love!

Vintage Umbrella

Updated Apr 18, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

There is something that always captures my fancy about umbrellas. I don't know what it is, but I love them. I'm totally digging this vintage umbrella in orange and blue. With a floral pattern and orange and blue stripes, it's just the sort of umbrella that makes you stand out a bit from the crowd and it matches my vintage sensibilities quite well!

pan am secret agent laptop bag blue

Updated Apr 18, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

The retro trend never really goes away does it. And in cases like this kitschy laptop messanger bag, I'm happy about that. Big enough to hold my baby macbook, notebook and a handful of other things it's the perfect bag for law school, traveling on a plane or for anyone who wants that giant purse.

Emilio Pucci Leite print umbrella

Updated Mar 14, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

When I was very little girl I begged my grandmother for her umbrella, it was red and had a crazy print all over it, it have a silver handle and fake red ruby. She amazingly relented after a few years of dedicated pleaded, It faded as most 30 year old umbrellas do, but this blue Pucci umbrella might be it's glorious replacement.

Emilio Pucci Print Cotton Scarf

Updated Mar 14, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Most of my nice scarfs are silk. If not silk there are some silk/cashmere blends and then a handful of nice knit winter scarves. Right now I own one cotton scarf. Looking back I really should own more. My cotton scarf has doubled as a shirt, as head covering, as a belt and many other things. This Pucci cottong scarf would be a good next cottom scarf for me to get and with it's oh so 70s print, nicely in style too.

Cuffed Short Shorts - Seersucker Green

Updated Mar 14, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

These shorts remind me of that Nair commericial from long ago. I've always had a thing for seersucker and put it in a pretty little green with a nice button and you have to know the answer to the question posed. I wear (these) short shorts!

T-Bags Twisted strap maxi dress

Updated Mar 14, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

This is a pretty bold dress, if worn in the day or just a pretty dress if worn at night. As for me, I'd wear it at night because I like a little softening of the night to tone down the patterns...but for some of my friends, those with the right hair and the skin tone I'd recommed day wear as it a fantastic dress.

Diane von Furstenberg Pauline maxi dress

Updated Mar 14, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

I think yellow is really our wish for the sun to come back. And this Yellow floral maxi dress is a out and out plea. But it's a pretty plea. I think this would be great on those warm spring days as you wait until summer when everything is so bright and shiny.

Single Lulu maxi dress

Updated Mar 14, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

If I've every seen a dress that's ripe for slipping intlo mid morning when you are on the Maine coast and wandering around it, I don't what it is. This dress is beautiful, dark purple, floral and I think great for a beach town...or those wishing they were in a beach town. Might be something I have to grab before I head up to the coast!

DKNY Full length silk dress

Updated Mar 14, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

A few years back my stepmother got my me the Lily Pulitzer cookbook. The recipes were nice of course, but the best part was the pictures. Old pictures of Lily from back when she was younger. One of the most memorable pictures of the book was one of her in an off the shoulder maxi dress, she looked so alive, so happy and the dress looked so right. This dress reminds me of it. It's a maxi dress that in the basic black, white and gray...except for that splash of pink. And it's that splash that make all the difference in the world.

Rebecca Taylor Waterlily Print Maxi Dress

Updated Mar 14, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

There is something very rustic about cream and green. It brings to mind blossoming flowers and a beautiful country side. This dress captures all that and yet makes it so this dress can be worn even if you don't live 100 miles away from the nearest city. It's waterlily pattern is pretty, it's colors are pretty...it's just plain pretty.

Emilio Pucci Designer Scarf

Updated Mar 14, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

My caution with orange, doesn't extend to when it's paired with a pink. I want this scarf, it's amazing. It's colors and shapes and life all in a scarf. Reminds me of scarf my grandmother used to have (she rocked the scarves). I think I know what I want for my birthday.

Emilio Pucci - Orchidea Print Scarf

Updated Mar 14, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Every piece of Pucci fashion I've seen has been bright and colorful, much like this scarf. I'm in love with a vibrant scarf as it can be bold without making you look too, clownish. This scarf looks like it would be perfect to wrap around you to keep that spring chill ou.

Emilio Pucci Cyber Print Large Silk Scarf

Updated Mar 14, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

When I was younger I read the trashiest books every. One took place in the 70s and was supposed to be about the pinnacle of success and luxury. The name Pucci was used a lot. Even though, as a little girl, I hadn't seen any Pucci I already associated it with success. As an older girl (woman) now, I know that Pucci does have a certain charm to it. Charm like this large silk scarf that could be used for just about anything.

Ola Embroidered Chiffon Maxi Dress

Updated Mar 14, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Here's a charming pleated chiffon maxi dress. I like the layering of greys in it. From the crinkled grey chiffon to the embroidered grey detail, it's a dress that is very smartly put together. Though, since it's made of silk I'd probably keep it away from the pool.

Ella Moss - Angie Smocked Maxi Dress

Updated Mar 14, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

This dress caught my eye because it would be perfect for a casual day around the house, shopping at the farmers market or out on a country picnic. The ruffles help contribute to the cute without being cutesy feel of this smocked dress. Made partially of cotton, it looks soft too.

Oh my gosh! It's paisley! Paisley in maxi dress form. Paisley and argyle are two patterns I have a weakness (or some may say an obsession) with. This bright maxi dress with a vibrant yellow and green paisley has me drooling.

Grass Green Floral Maxi Dress

Updated Mar 14, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

While this dress is a little bit more late sixties than seventies, I still adore it. It's a maxi dress with a gorgeous green floral print. It has a pleat in the back from waist to floor and a tie in the front. Add to that the skimming neckline and it's a glorious piece.

Abstract Maxi Dress

Updated Mar 14, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Most of the maxi dresses I've seen this season have either been strapless or cut very low with a deep v. This maxi dress has a mandarin collar and it has me intrigued. I like the vibrant red pattern and the seemingly more put together look I could see with this dress. Yes, it's a maxi dress...but it's also a far different look than many others out there now.

French Connection Betty Block Jersey Maxi Dress

Description

My Latin class went to Italy when I was in middle school and my Latin teacher, whom I was in awe of, wore a dress similar to this every day we were there. As such, I have a predisposition for colorfully printed dresses that flutter as you walk. And this dress is a perfect example of it.

Prettiest color ever! It's pink, but more ocean-y! It's coral! Sorry, I just love the color. Add the detail on empire line and you have me wanting. This dress could be worn anywhere...or at least I would.

It's very hippie, but not in that patachouli stinky way. I'm really liking this blue dress, it looks comfortable, good for day wear and kind of casual too. The best of hippie fashion without layering in the crazy.

I'm not normally an orange fan, but there is something intrguing about this dress. I think with it's 70s styling I'm more ap to forgive i the orange. Either way, I like how airy this dress looks...it's long and uses who knows how much fabric, but it doesn't look like that.

So, I'm a bit of geek. My favorite show recently has been Firefly (yes, I know it's been a long time since it came out, I like rewatching it). One of my favorite lines in it is "ooh!, captain can I have money for slinky dress?", it's said very adorably. This is definietly a slinky dress. It's very fluid, very sexy and with the tiny cutout detail and beading...I think it hits all slinky qualities.
