    I tweeted the other day about an Apartment Therapy post that highlighted how beautiful shopping bags can look when framed and hung on the wall. Then today, I spied a lovely shot of a framed Vera scarf that also does double-duty when framed and hung as art. Now if you're anything like me, you have more beautiful scarves in your drawers than any one fashionista could ever wear and thinking about them as art just may inspire you to bring them a few of them into the light of day. Or perhaps this idea is just the excuse you need to wrap your manicured hands around just one more silk beauty for your collection. Click the slideshow and you'll find some vintage scarves that can adorn both your jacket and your mantle!

    Beautiful Pierre Cardin Creations for Vintage Fashionistas

    When Pierre Cardin tried to make designer clothing more accessible for women by producing a ready-to-wear line in 1959, he created quite the scandal and was expelled from the Chambre Syndicale. But he didn't let the ire of those haute couture folks stop him! No, he continued to produce designs that were innovative and futuristic. And what gal wouldn't lust after his 1968 crepe evening gown with the built-in sculpted silver necklace and its $60,000 diamond! Cardin's work from the 1960s and 1970s captured his trademark minimalism, use of geometric shapes and exquisite tailoring and iconic pieces from these collections are still highly sought after by today's vintage fashionistas. Just click the slide-show to see a selection of fab vintage Pierre Cardin finds!

    July 4th isn't just another day off work or an excuse to take an extra-long weekend trip. It's a day to remember and commemorate the men who drafted the Declaration of Independence, the document that provides us all with the freedoms we enjoy today. And since this is a time when the United States is still engaged in battle, you may find yourself even more tempted to wear red, white and blue to show your patriotism. But I'll caution you that this look can be a bit tricky to pull off without feeling like a walking American flag. So remember that it's equally patriotic to wear red, white, or blue to that picnic or parade or fireworks celebration, or to drop just a hint of this somewhat expected color combo in your accessory choices. Just click the slideshow for some playful RW&B finds for vintage fashionistas.

    Those of you in Mobile, Pensacola, New Orleans and West Palm Beach, listen up. According to WeatherBill, Inc., you were the rainiest cities in the US last year with more than 63 inches of rainfall and more than 57 rainy days. But all of us, even those in America's driest cities, should have a fab little raincoat tucked away. So don't let yourself be caught unprepared. I mean, even though your rain gear may not get the same face time as say, your favorite pair of jeans, that's no excuse to use a newspaper over your head to protect you from the elements. No, when the raindrops are falling you want something as stylish as these vintage trenches. Just click the slideshow to view the selection.

    Black Friday may not be an official US holiday, but so many people have the day off that it may as well be! Of course, most folks won't be heading to parks or beaches or any of those other normal vacation spots. Nope, on Black Friday, fashionistas all over the country will be hitting the malls, the boutiques, and the shopping plazas along with a few bazillion other people. Not me though. This year I've decided to relax at home with a good cup of coffee and get a headstart on Cyber Monday. And why not? With so many great online vintage boutiques, there's no reason to battle the crowds. Just take a look at this collection of Black Friday finds and you may be inspired to trade in your car keys and start punching computer keys. Just click the slideshow to see the selections.
