Happy Birthday Glendale!


The city of Glendale just celebrated its 100th birthday as an incorporated city, and hosted a three-day affair in honor of this milestone. And what better way to party than by including Matilda's Vintage Closet’s "100 Years of Fashion" show?

The show, which featured 19 models and 50 outfits, was the biggest production the shop owners have put together, and included ensembles from the 1870s-1970s. It was a success and definitely well-received by the audience! So far, I’ve received a handful of photos—I’ve included a few here and will be sure to add more later!

xoxo,

I'm wearing the Harlow ensemble--this is one of my favorite outfits for the show!

My dear friend Dawn, a talented and vivacious local artist, makes the best 20s gal! She really dances up a storm and shows off her charming personality when on stage :-)

My good friend Nikki also wears a 20s look in the show--isn't this royal blue frock a stunner? Nikki can really rock a cloche hat, too--I think she needs to wear them more often!

Co-owner Rose showed off her Hustle skills with one of the models in this wild 70s look.

  2. Thank you, dearie!

    I'm so glad--does it match your dress? I hope so!

    P.S. Dawn is originally from England; she has told us many amazing stories of growing up during WWII. Perhaps she'll let me share a few sometime, as I'm sure everyone would enjoy hearing them :-)

  12. Thank you, ladies!

    Bree--How is the vintage scene in Louisiana in general? Arizona has some options but not nearly as many as places like CA. I've always wanted to visit your state and hope to do so in the future!

    Jaede--Do let me know if you stop by Phoenix again! Perhaps we can meet for coffee the next time you visit :-)

    Carys--Thank you so much for the kind words :-)
