I bought this last year from Etsy & am having it hemmed since it is a bit long on me (will def do an outfit post once it is done!). The color is totes perfect for my S/S 11 wardy but I need the right heels to wear with it…

What shoes do you dahlings think would look good with this dress…maybe T-Strap Platform Heels? Any suggestions would be super appreciated my lovelies!

Manhattan Vintage Clothing Show pics!

11 Oct, 2009 | Vintage Couture

On Saturday I was fortunate enough to make the last hour of the Manhattan Vintage Clothing Show on W. 18th St. (Special thanks to VSGgirl for the show info – please check out her Vintage Shopping Guide website for any vintage related information you need!!)

The collections were amazing from vintage Chanel chains/bags/coats to Hermes to Gaultier to vintage furs/stoles/capes to you name it – they had it.

Of course the first thing that caught my eye was a phenomenal black tuxedo coat…Chanel of course! And it would have been mine, if I only had $1299 to dish out – of which I did NOT!

Note – I would have taken so many more pics – but the point & shoot action was not adored by many of the vendors, unfortunately ;-( Dammit.

AND…I missed out on a pic of the 6ft tall, platinum-blond Tranny trying on some vintage Versace – damn, damn, damn!

Next time dahlings, for shiz.

Jean Paul Gaultier
Corset Jacket circa 1989 $459 BTW – The entrance of the event was draped in LV -
including benches, chairs, tables, ottomans…trunks, suticases, endtables AND…

SHUT UP!
Louis Vuitton Tiolet seats?!?!

Yours for only $300 a pop…booty-lux folks, lol!

Will definitely check out the show again next year…and hopefully score some vintage bling! XOXO

Happy Monday dahlings,

p.s. – Chicagoans: The Chicago Vintage Clothing Show will be on 10/30 thru 11/01 – here is the info on location/admission, etc!

p.p.s.- Neighor rant tomorrow.
