forget men i’m in love with a dress (or two)

i am completely head over heels in love with this etsy seller as it would appear hundreds of others are: Timeless Vintage Vixen and its exquisite vintage finds of dresses from the 20s onwards. Based in beverley hills it exudes vintage glamour and we all need some glamour in our lives…  and I have the perfect excuse for spending time lusting after these finds…a summer wedding in paris to attend…now one couldn’t just go in any old dress could one? one from each decade???

“Innovation! One cannot be forever innovating. I want to create classics.”

One of my favourite quotes from Coco Chanel.  Seeing as the film will soon be out hopefully, starring Audrey Tautou (I live in Greece remember -good things come to those who wait) pinkmilkvintage‘s treasury this week is monochrome magic.  If you can’t afford chanel vintage then get the style and do it your own way like Chanel said “In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different” and as my mum always used to say to me growing up “Don’t be a sheep” as she tried to save me from various crimes against fashion.  (some successful some not- still have nightmares about the shell suit- of which the only word that springs to mind is Chanel’s least favourite word ‘vulgarity’ and that is certainly what it was, nothing could save it, not even its pinkness.

remember there are “two things a girl should be: classy and fabulous” and start an empire here and there…
