Make . Way...

Now that I'm moved into my new house and studio (yay!), there will be a new look and new items coming to Pretty Little World Vintage soon!

So to make room for the new goodies, lots has to go!! To continue the sale, absolutely everything in the store is 50% off the listed price!!




Happy Thursday and Happy Shopping!!

Chloe . Running . Errands

This is what Chloe Sevingy wears to run about town:




Admittedly, 98% of people could not pull this off, but I think she looks smashing!

Lust

After seeing these photos, I've reaffirmed that I would definitely like to come back in another life as Daria Werbowy:

Good . Grace

One of my absolute favorite vintage stores, Good Grace, has just posted the loveliest little shift dress ever:




Those sleeves...that color...le sigh.

{Bits of Beauty} Dress . Help . Needed

Ms. Jenn over at the lovely blog {Bits of Beauty} has posted the prettiest photograph...




...but has no idea where it's from! If you know who makes the dress, who the model is, or where the photo first appeared, head on over to leave her a comment!!

A little bit of beauty indeed!

Tulle

I do splurge on accessories from time to time, but it's harder with clothes. I hate falling in love with something in a magazine and then noticing that it costs twice my mortgage payment -- and who knows what I'll want to wear a year down the road.

This is why one of the best things about the new issue of Lucky is that absolutely everything in the magazine is under $100.00! Of all of the fab shops mentioned, Tulle is one of the best -- everything in stock is bright and airy.




Not only are their prices already low (I can't find anything over $70.00), but in July you get an additional 35% off if you enter the code LUCKYBREAKS3 at checkout!!

Sorry . for . the . Delay...

...in posting. Moving Day turned into Moving Weekend +1 Day, because apparently whenever you move, belongings you don't even remember begin to ooze out of the walls and floors. This seems to continue to the point until you hate every item that you own :(

I'll try to post something more interesting tomorrow!! Happy Monday!!

Timeless . Vixen . Vintage

While I'm deeply attached to all of the technology that's developed recently (you couldn't get me to give away my iPhone if you tried your best), one regret that I have about living today is that unless you belong to a relatively small group of wealthy people, you don't have much excuse to dress up on a regular basis. I wear sundresses throughout much of the spring and summer, but I want to be able to go places where I can toss on a ballgown -- something frou-frou with lots of lace and tulle.

This lack of opportunity is one of the reasons why looking through Timeless Vixen Vintage's Store is made all the more painful. Each confection in this lovely shop is a stunning example of early-mid 20th century formal fashion. I'm smitten with every piece, and particularly in love with the 1920s beaded flapper dresses!! (*Cough* *Cough* Christmas in July, anyone??)

Sienna . in . London

According to Luxist, Sienna Miller has recently put her London pad up on the market. When I saw it, I knew I had to sneak in a quick post!




The Basement (yes, the basement):



...wonder what kind of parties she has down there!!

Moving . Day

I was going to try and get around to a new post today, but it doesn't look like the time will be here -- IT'S FINALLY MOVING DAY!!!

We're trying to get the bulk of our belongings moved into our new house today -- it will be messy for awhile, but hopefully I'll be able to get some of the first "before and after" pics up early next week!!

Happy Thursday everyone!!

Amy . Rice . New . Work

I check Amy Rice's website a couple of times a month in hopes that new pieces pop up. Her work is nothing flashy, and she mostly sticks with the same colors, but ever since I saw her "Nest" Installation with Terrence Payne, I've been completely head-over-heels for her paintings.

Unlike a lot of other artists who only sell through gallery shows, Ms. Rice offers some of her work for sale directly through her blog!! And she just recently posted some new pieces. Hooray!!
