Thursday Thrill – Oscar Night: Which Decade Wins?

Oscar Party Invitation Postcards by Girl in Gear Studio

Fashion changes quickly and everyone has their favorites. The Academy Awards technically started in 1929, so we will start our fashion reel there and head through to the 1980's. There is, undoubtedly, a wide range of styles within each year, but I've selected one dress that reminds me of each decade. Which decade do you find yourself most drawn to?

Treasury Tuesday – A Subtle Romance Lingers

Last week was Valentine's and I had the sweetest time with my hubs (see that post). Now that the day set aside for love has past, don't think that all romance has left with it. Oh no, a subtle yet solid romance will continue on until that day comes again. 

This collection of softly feminine items was curated by Noga from Piri Piri. All of these could serve as a daily reminder of love and romance. I especially love the lingerie (they were featured recently here) and the lavender sachets (also featured recently here). My wee vintage button bobby pins ("Brown Sugar") were included and look just darling against the blush and rose of all these lovelies.

The Sunday Snag – Spring Sweetheart

Spring is just around the corner and here is a dress I snagged this winter in anticipation!

I purchased this sheer abstract floral piece from Zwzzy and it is just darling. It's a 1950's like style (possibly 80's? Not sure.) with a high neckline, capped sleeves, and shell buttons. This is ideal for dancing! I can unbutton the top to wherever I feel comfortable and I can unbutton the bottom to create a front slit for my legs to move easily. Plus, it is sheer so I can wear a light slip underneath and not get so hot! After trying it on, I did decide to shorten the skirt as it was about 5" below my knee, but after the hem it is pretty perfect and ready for spring!
