Oh so gorgeous 30s gown and shoes!
Just had to add this to the blog today. A stunning 1930s red gown and an amazing pair of satin evening shoes from the same era. Both from different Etsy stores and yet, look how well they go together. Just breathtaking!

Lots of new items in the Etsy store!
Hi all, I have been very busy putting more items into my Etsy store – Violet’s Vintage Emporium – so I hope you will all go in and take a gander at the 35 or so new things I have added, including some more 40s dresses, 40s tailored jackets, vintage sewing patterns and magazines, lots of vintage hats (30s to 50s), mens 40s suspenders, hair clips and bobby pin cards from the 30s, 40s and 50s and some lovely scarves. And isn’t the 1930s blue blouse divine?! I wish it fit me!!
I’ve featured a few items here so I hope you enjoy looking. If you would like to keep up to date with all the listings, join my VVE facebook page. Now, back to writing my next post! 🙂
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
Ralph Lauren Spring 2012 Collection – so very 30s!
Some gorgeous pieces here and wide with a late 20s to mid 30s feel, and wide flowing pants abound!! Almost resort wear in some cases, which is fabulous. I Â have many pairs of 30s style wide trousers which I incorporate into my everyday wardrobe on a daily basis and I’m glad to see that this flattering style with a 30s edge on catwalks. Lots of bias cut dresses, swagger and cloche-type hats and feminine, flowing fabrics here too. My favourite is the first pic.

1930s La Femme Chez Elle magazines are très chic!
Ahh…La Femme Chez Elle. So many beautiful art deco minimalist style covers and fashion plates within. And lots of nifty hat making tips! I have scanned some of the articles for you here from a few of my collection. Yes, they are in French, but the visuals are worth looking at. Some lovely knitting patterns too and I really want to try and make the tilted straw hat. So cute! If you are interested, I have some for sale in my Etsy store. I noticed that Artposters.com even has copies of the covers for sale as prints.
