Shoes on Amazon.com

So, you will have noticed the new Best of Swing & Vintage on Amazon banner in the sidebar, and this is what I’ve been procrastinating with the last week, what fun! I’ve set up my very own Amazon store, with all – well the name says it all really – the best of swing and vintage to be found on Amazon.com. It’s so fun, like curating your own collection. Anyway, the best thing though is the shoes! I mean, we all think of Amazon for books, CDs, DVDs, but I had no idea there were so many shoes!! There’s loads of styles, but for example, here’s some of my favorite granny heels:

Yeah, on Amazon! Who would of thought….

Southern Belle Swing Bash, Atlanta, August 2009

Both ladies and gents turned out in fine style last weekend for the Southern Belle Swing Bash in Atlanta GA. A fabulous event, not to be missed! The only thing I can say is why were there so few ladies in the Charleston contest? Here’s a true SwingFashionista.com tip: ladies, it doesn’t matter if you haven’t got many moves, just find yourself a cute outfit, and get out there and shake it! Congrats to Morgan (and her gloves) who won – now, that lady knows how to work a cute outfit! Here’s a few more pics from the weekend:
