Thursday Thrill – Beach Bombshell

Vintage shorts romper with apple print for women in red, blue, and whitebamboo 1950s sunglasses for women 

I'm not messin' around with this Thursday Thrill stuff. Thrills are what this week's finds are all about! A retro romper, cherry red hair pins, and vintage espadrilles, oh my! Makes me sad to see summer end!

This early 1960's play romper is soooo fun! Shaped for curves and sass with a novelty apple print. Of course, not many of us have vibrant red bouffant hair, so I thought adding a few cherry colored vintage hair pins would be an adorable (and easy) way to accessorize. I just listed these little firecrackers last week!

Feature Friday – The Naked Man Vintage

light blue 1950s men's suit jacket Today's featured shop is for the classy guys out there! Okay, so it's a small group, but many are born classy and some are converting over slowly. My husband is one of those that needs a bit of evangelizing and has dipped one toe at a time into my world of nostalgia and dapper duds. 

 1950s 1960s hat for men The Naked Man Vintage is a shop on Etsy that is helping chicks like me entice our men folk into dressing a bit snappier. They only sell vintage men's clothing which makes the whole shop feel masculine and elegant (and helps my husband sit and look without having to get stuck in the quagmire that is my dress and shoe fetish).

They sell all eras, but I particularly favor the 50's and 60's clean lines and sophisticated vibe. Think Mad Men sexiness. I will occasionally see an older man who always seems to dress more elegantly than everyone around and will be carrying a hat and mother of pearl encrusted cane. I find that I can't take my eyes off this guy and want to walk over and thank him for being classy and making my day better. Wouldn't that be the best?! Having a total stranger walk up to you to let you know that just seeing you has brightened their day?
