look what the mail fairy brought me

I’m so excited - I got this in the mail yesterday:

I’ve been lusting after it for about six weeks on Etsy in Retro Kitsch’s shop and finally decided to treat myself :-)  It’s an eensy wee little beaded evening bag.  I don’t know anything about it other than it’s fairly old and has a “Made […]

vintage porcelain pins

I’ve got a soft spot for vintage porcelain floral pins.  They were quite common in England between the two world wars & up until the 1960s or so.  You can still find some fantastic little pieces on eBay, in vintage shops, or even in your grandmother’s jewelry box!

These are five pins from my own collection, […]

Thrift Store Shopping

Actually, if you haunt thrift stores, you can sometimes find some amazing vintage pieces. And just think of the stories some of those finds could tell.
If we had the time, it would be great to track down pieces to who originally owned them. At some point, stuff that Jessica Simpson is wearing could […]

Vintage is Hot

Gotta have this book. Not sure where I’m going to put it. As it is, I still haven’t had shelves built for all the books that I already have. Somebody tell me why a house comes with a library but no book shelves? Guess it was enough just to be given a room. Oh well, […]

Stock up on Tights for Fall

I started my morning over at Fashionable Kiffen and she is talking about how popular tights are going to be this fall. Who knew that something that we wore as ten year olds would still be popular today and they are sexy. I don’t know anything that can make a leg look longer and […]

Today’s Belt

I never thought that I would see one of these again.

So, anything that you are wearing this summer… be sure to pack it away because it will be back. I’m not sure how long it will take, but it will be back! And instead of a copy, yours will be authentic!!
*And a heads up… anything […]

Isabella Fiore ‘Britta’ Paisley Tote

*If you are reading this material anywhere but on HerAccessories.com, the content has been stolen.
“Spacious tote in Italian canvas, printed with an exclusive paisley pattern and trimmed with leather.”

And it’s large enough to hold legal sized documents. That means that this bag is even bigger than I first suspected. I’m not saying a word. […]

Cat’s Eye Sunglasses

Why do they do this to me? I almost have as many pairs of sunglasses as I do shoes and I just noticed a vintage variety that I want to add to my collection. How I wish I could have gone through my mom’s accessory wardrobe of the sixties. I’m sure she would have had […]

The History of Stockings (Abbreviated Version)

Stockings… we don’t use them as much anymore. It seems more convenient to pull on a pair of pantyhose or simply go with nothing on our legs, but I thought that the history of stockings was kind of interesting.
They can be traced by to the first century AD. They are Roman in origin, a […]
