Antique Trove Parking Lot Sale

This Saturday, the Antique Trove, a fantastic shop located in Scottsdale, is having an all-day parking lot sale. I'm renting two spaces with my good friends Rose (of Matilda's Closet) and Jere, and we plan on offering up some killer vintage clothing and accessories from our respective collections (to say that Rose's shop is amazingly well-stocked is a huge understatement, and both Jere and I are just a few dresses short of needing to open our own stores as well *tee-hee*). If you're in the area, I do hope you can stop by to say hello and do a little shopping; I am sure you'll find something to suit your fancy!

Style Inspiration

I haven't posted an inspiration post in quite awhile, so here are a few things that I'm inspired by right now!

The 1940s Sweater Girl Look

Berets--always classic and flattering

1940s-style denim trousers

I think this pair, by Vivien of Holloway, is adorable! V Vintage is making up a pair for me right now, and I can't wait to wear them on casual days.

And finally, the classic knit suit. This one looks very sharp paired with showstopping hat!

Outfit of the Day

Although the weather is supposed to be in the 90s tomorrow (sigh), it was quite chilly this morning! I wore one of my favorite vintage fall looks--the classic "sweater girl" ensemble of formfitting sweater and pencil skirt. It's sleek and polished with a little extra oomph!

Aqua cashmere sweater with keyhole neckline
My favorite black wool 40s pencil skirt
Black cinch belt
Black velvet 40s-style peeptoe heels
1950s green and gold "pearl" cluster earrings

The Countess

The newest dress in the Able Grable line is aptly named "The Countess". This glamourous floral satin frock is a real crowd pleaser, and I think you'll love it as much as I do! More photos to follow soon ;-)

The Eyes Have It

My next makeup how-to is all about the eyes! Check it out here, and be sure to let me know what you think!

I Dream of Jeannie

My Sweetie and I went as Jeannie and Major Nelson for Halloween, which turned out to be a real hit--in fact, we were the only ones dressed in that getup this year (which was amazing because we went down to Tempe, and Mill Avenue was like Mardi Gras with throngs of college students and the like!)

Doug Monce of Atomic Age Pictures also took a few photos of me in Jeannie's garb, and I think they turned out quite well!
