Freakin' Frockin' Friday

Ooh, I've been away-have you missed me?? LOL!

I haven't really been away, just busy with the usual stuff, mostly getting ready for our big vintage fashion fair next week.


 Oh, and being continually out on the hunt for another small ton of vintage treasure, of course.

This is another of the fab maxis Sue bought a few weeks ago...I squeezed into it for your benefit but really it's a bit too small, so it's up at the shop, already for sale, for anyone who is willing and able to check it out in person.

Because, you know, how can a Friday nights vintage outfit NOT include lurex, platforms, and bell sleeves??

The not-quite-boob-shot

I'll be back soon with lots more new treasures to show you..we've found some amazing stuff this past couple of weeks.

Thought of the day; anyone who uses the word 'wenches', is a person I like. I wonder if you feel the same way?

Stacks of Maxis...New to the Shop This Week

But it's not only maxis...no no no!!!

We have all sorts of newies, from the 30s to the 80s.

All sorts of styles too, but I have to say that if georgette takes your fancy, you're in luck, there's tons to choose from!!

From short to long, from daywear to cocktail to evening, from pastel to retro loud, from size 6 to 16, we've got it all.

Hard to go wrong with red polka dots!!

This fab striped maxi is by famed Aussie label Silver Star.

I'm loving the print on this one!! Lucky (?) it doesn't fit me or I'd be keeping it, I think our Vix would look awesome in this.

And Nelly, here's some better shots for you...but sorry, I think Sue and I are keeping this one for our own special collection.

Are the sleeves the stuff of dreams or what?!

If you follow us on Facebook, you'll have seen some of these already...yes girls, we're aiming for world-maxi-domination, LOL!!

So have you picked a favourite yet??

Tough though, isn't it?? Tough for me too, I have the 'tough' job of sorting through them all and deciding which ones to keep, ha ha.

Frock Friday- Maxi Power

What a truckload of maxis we have bought this week!! Not to mention vintage nighties, day dresses, 60s, 70s and 80s dresses.

I think Nelly would fall over and faint if she saw how many angel-sleeved maxis we now have...I know I nearly did.

And Sue did her first-ever clothing buy-woo hoo!!

I don't think I can quite explain how well she did...you'll just have to wait and see, as I'll be showing you the maxi-mum heavenlies she came home with over the next few weeks.

You can also keep up with our latest by liking our Facebook page, I'll be adding photos every day over the next week.

On another note, I'm currently unable to comment on blogs with embedded comments. So, Nelly, Coedith, Heidi, Miss Claire, Mel Coconut, and others, please know that I'm not ignoring you :)

Frock Friday- Bangles & Barry M.

 

Sometimes you just have to let a bold print do all the talking.

Well, ok I tried, but VB kept butting in, we were in a hurry to get to an antique fair yesterday but she wasn't letting Mum take a few quick photos without getting in the way joining in.

Not only is she posing with me now, she's changing her outfit ten times a day and demanding nailpolish; can this be another Helga! in the making??

60s Hawaiian sateen maxi- eaby ages ago
Green Barry M. nailpolish- Vix
snakeskin shoes & vintage scarf- garage sales
bangles- are you sick of them yet??

Frock on Friday

 

A customer in the shop asked me yesterday, 'what is your favourite era of vintage?....what's your style?'

And I had to tell her, 'well....it's all my style. I like them all!'


Here's one of my favourite 70s maxis, it's a lightweight stretch poly, way too hot for summer of course but fine for a nice winter day like today was.

 

Close-up for the print nerds

 

Worn with Pucci platforms

 

....a ton of bangles

 

and my new 'everyday' ring

See, how can you not love the 70s?!

I also changed into this outfit to do some pics for you, this was my 'shopgirl outfit' on Thursday.

Vix sent me this fab cardi a while ago and I haven't had anything to wear it with until this last weekend.

I went to my local flea market and found this knit dress for a dollar. While Brisbane may not have much of a winter, Tamborine certainly does, and layers are a requisite! You can't see them much here but I also bought these Doc shoes for $4, an awesome bargain if you ask me, and just the basic pair of black winter shoes I'd been looking for.


Score! What bargains have you found this week?
