#6528 - c. 1950's HOWARD GREER, Beverly Hills Navy Silk Chiffon Dress with Bell Sleeves! This dress is SO lovely on ME. Ok, it looks good on the mannequin too, but she looks good in everything... she doesn't have my figure flaws (wide hips, pear shape body). Also... I should say upfront... this is NOT a modern size 10, it's more like a 6, so I just didn't want you gals to get all excited. Who is Howard Greer? You should know if you are a vintage fashionista, but if you are like the new crop of fashionistas.... they need a bit more education.. just ask Sarah Jessica Parker as she was begin honored with a fashion icon tribute. Trying not to display favoritism to any contemporary designer, Ms. Parker wore a tulle dress by Howard Greer. ''But nobody's ever heard of him,'' Ms. Parker said. She turned to Howard Sokol, the chief executive of Barneys New York. ''Have you heard of Howard Greer?'' Mr. Sokol looked stumped. Geesh!! I wish they would actually teach fashion history in fashion school!!!!! Anyway, for all the info on Howard Greer who designed for the movies and movie stars during Hollywood's golden age, see the Vintage Fashion Guild's listing at: http://www.vintagefashionguild.org/content/view/1160/121/ Navy silk chiffon dress with white passementarie trim, double layered bell sleeves (awesome!), low sexy neckline, fitted waist, slightly gathered skirt. Measures: 35" bust, 27.5" waist, up to 37" hips, 28" long skirt with extra 2-3" hem if you want the original length. Back metal zipper. Excellent condition with just tiny pulls at the waist which I assume was from a pin (she knew how to dress!). A sweetheart of a dress. Sarah Jessica Parker would approve!! :)

    by PatriciaPatricia

    The sun is coming out and we are getting excited to get out difference versions of sunglasses we own. Going on a sunglasses hunt is always fun as there are so many different shapes, colors, and sizes. Our favorite pick today is this Silver Metal Frame Sunglasses from Quay Eyewear. Circular lens frame is finished off by the angular corner giving it a retro and chic cat-eye look. With the reflective metallic coated slim lenses that go across the circular frame, this sunglasses is looking cool and vintage inspired. Perfectly put together with lightweight metal frames and adjustable silicone nose pads for added comfort.

    Daily Obsesh: Colorful Prints

    by PatriciaPatricia

    Spring time weather is so inspiring and always makes it so fun to pick outfits. You can get creative with thin layers, vibrant colors, and crazy prints. That is exactly why we love this Printed Jersey Tunic from Donna Morgan. Combination of the color block with flower prints gives so much character to this dress. It can not get more interesting than the black, purple, and blue flowers on block of white, black, blue, and purple. Shift Silhouette and beaded round neckline adds classiness to this fun and spontaneous dress, making it a perfect contemporary spring time dress.
