Repetition Bracelet

I love that costume jewelry is trendy at the moment! All it takes is one piece to add a bit of shine to any top to give it a boost. Perfect for the wintery holiday season, this fantastic Maslodesign Repetition Bracelet ($76) is a great way to show off your wrist as well as distract children and pet! Beautifully handcrafted, Maslodesign is a melange of vintage, modern and smart style.

From Just Jared. Click for more pictures.

Scarlett Johansson attends Mango New Collection’s launch party at La Caja Magica on Wednesday (November 11) in Madrid, Spain. La Caja Magica translates to “The Magic Box” and is also known as the Manzanares Park Tennis Center.

Scarlett wore a Mango top, skirt and shoes and finished off her look with Yvel earrings. She’s Mango’s spokesperson because she’s the “ideal urban woman, independent and cosmopolitan!”

I think she looks great and I love the clothing line. There are definitely some vintage inspired pieces.

Jeans!

I’ve slowly been amassing a collection of websites where one can buy vintage reproductions and recently four stores have caught my eye. The first is Freddies of Pinewood, which is based in the UK and will ship to the US. Their jeans are made from modern washable denim, without stretch. “You can wear them day in and day out without worrying that you will ruin them!”

A great reproduction of the original 1940’s and 1950’s denim jeans for ladies, for £35

dungarees-l

Versatile 1940’s style dungarees made from denim with no stretch. They have a wide leg, huge pockets on the front, a cute hanky pocket and patch pockets on the back. The straps cross at the back and fasten with two buttons. You will probably have to re-sew the strap buttons to fit your size. They have a 34″ inside leg. Available in blue, black and grey denim. £40

RetroSpec’d offers reproduction clothing from the 1940s and 1950s for girls and guys. Just look at these jeans!!

Wide legged and high waisted they’re an extremely flattering cut and come in a variety of colors and styles.

Pictured opposite is the lovely Anna Fur Laxis in the denim style. As you can see they’re super versatile and work as well with halter tops as with blouses.

and last, but certainly not least….

I don’t particularly like this website, but I like the clothing. Two other non jean pieces I like are the high waisted capri pants and the World War II vintage Overalls. Cute!!!!

These classic jeans are simply amazing. Handtailored to the guidelines of 1940s fashion!  The original patterns dates from the first half of the 1940. These are the pants that the American working women wore during WWII. These women looked great and so will you!

Features:

  • -Heavy weight denim fabric.
  • -Metal side zipper.
  • -High waisted.
  • -Top stitched pockets and waist band.
  • -Great fit.
  • -Two lengths available: inside leg 86 cm (34″) and 91 cm (36″).

Be a good friend, care for her seam line

Back in the day, whenever you would wear tights or stockings with seam lines, girls used to help each other  to make sure their seams were straight. So I messed around with the idea and created an image for my theme of the day:

My friend Elsa sent me a link where you can buy amazing tights: www.upfactory.com

I also found out another great website….. but that I’ll keep for later, hehehe

I want to keep you on your toes. Here is some pictures of what you can find.
