Hair worn in Heidi braids (because this dress has that folky feel to it) and finish it off with a great modern day leather handbag.

Vintage Find of the Day: 60's Mod Floral Dress

Wednesday, August 12, 2009

If you know me in real life, it will be no surprise to you that I am head over heels in love with this vintage mod mini dress. I love bright colors and poppy floral prints! I can just imagine wearing this dress for a luncheon, sitting at a sidewalk cafe, sipping a freshly squeezed lemonade perhaps. And I've got on strappy sandals and I would probably wear my hair in Heidi braids (I've been keen on this hairstyle lately, easy and muss free). And people would stroll by and go "Oh! Look at that girl in the happy dress! She looks so cheery and bright!" *hehe*

Simply put, this dress makes me smile, and if it were my size (ahh see...the sad note in an otherwise happy post) I would snatch this up immediately.



I already envy the lucky, happy girl who will be the owner of this. Vintage dress available for purchase from Maiden Rapture Vintage on Etsy.

Vintage Find of the Day: 20's Straw Cloche

Wednesday, July 29, 2009


Isn't this vintage 1920s straw cloche just absolutely lovely? I love the peach and lavender ribbon florets. I'm also quite keen on this vintage head form, her little expression is so amusing.
