Friday Photo Swoon – Take My Hand

Look at those side cut outs!

Recently I've been picking up vintage gloves here and there. I've shared two with you so far (wrist length, ivory deerskin here and elbow length black here). Gloves have posed a styling challenge for me. That said, they've created an increasing interest as well. I think they're difficult to style because it is part of a lost accessory in the modern world. There are not many people that wear gloves anymore (besides winter gloves). Along with hats, they seem to have unfortunately fallen by the wayside of time and convenience. I very much understand this but it's a shame that we don't at least wear them sporadically. They are such a "finisher" of an outfit. Icing on the cake really. Below is some inspiration, for both you and me, on ways to style gloves. Some are even in color (which I found very helpful in this instance). Do you wear gloves? Any tips on how you style them?

Friday Photo Swoon – It's Almost Time!

The New Year is almost here! Any one have any plans for the Eve? I've never really done resolutions, but I do try to do something with family and friends each year. This year my sister and her husband are taking me and the hubs out for a Christmas/Birthday/New Year's dinner at a nice restaurant! So excited! We do all three as me and my sister have birthdays over the holiday. I have a pretty little frock to wear too! Ooooh! 1950s silk party dress with gold heels!

Snappy Dressed Man

Friday Photo Swoon – Snappy Dressed Man

Seeing as you got a glimpse of me in vintage 1930s menswear yesterday (see here), today I thought I might share fashion inspiration from men of that era. These gents really knew how to work a suit and hat am I right?! Just try and not fall for this dapper young man in the first photo! I tried...and failed miserably.
