Celebrity Vintage Spot - Katy Perry

Katy Perry looked grown-up, glamorous and gorgeous in her vintage LaCroix
(that I suspect may not be so old, but what the heck, its being reported as vintage in the media and any media mention of vintage is a good thing in my books!)

GORGEOUS Shrimpton Couture Client Vintage Spot

Check out the beautiful Elena showing of her baubles from The Glamourai collection for Shrimpton Couture! I have such fabulous clients no?

Dharma Dharma Dharma

The beautiful Kelly, the designer behind The Glamourai line borrowed back one of her own self-designed neck pieces to use in these shots!

Feelin rather flapperish........you?

PSST notice the harem pants? and you thought that was a "new" trend - silly young thing you!

There is so much new stuff.....

........in the shop right now its sort of nutty!

I have been working like a mad vintage couture clad computer geekazoid to get it all up for all my lovelies to see! The easiest way to view all the new pretties is to pop onto my
What's New This Week page, but I did want to show you these three pretties especially:

A gorgeous Cruise 1993 Cashmere Chanel twinset in PINK!

This fabulous early stenciled velvet jacket with lace trim

And this fabulous full length Jean Muir Jersey gown that I am in love with!

I also wanted to share this picture with you. The Glamourai did a post this morning to celebrate the launch of her new fine jewels ring collection for Shrimpton Couture and not only is she wearing an example of one of those pretty pieces, which she paired it with my 1950s Beaded Couture Skirt that you can find here

How gorgeous?

HUGE mega Catch Up Post

I know I have not been blogging as regularly lately. The shop has been so busy its been hard to juggle it all! So Today I am going to do a HUGE mega catch up post of all the fab happenings of the last week or so! In no particular order - here we go:

First I get hassled all the time about my lack of self-costume posts here on the blog so when I was invited to a dinner party thrown by one of my best friends and UBER talented Interior Designer Lee Ann, of Beaux Arts Interior, I suffered through a mini photo shoot just to quiet you all down for at least a few weeks, les sigh

(wearing a vintage kimono coat that might be listed soon if I don't keep it myself, a Temperley London dress, vintage Chanel necklace & Gucci shoes)

Now on to a enviable vintage costume post:

Kristen Davis wore vintage Milla Schon last week and looked fabulous

Kelly who is the designer behind The Glamouria line, wore her own self designed Crystalline Crumble Collar that was available in the shop up until yesterday but has just sold - sorry peeps - should have grabbed it when you could have!

Meanwhile, my beautiful client and author of the blog Golden Means posted own self wearing another of The Glamourai's creations. How fabulous!

I posted SEVEN new RSVP dresses today

A new semi-precious ring collection just landed in the shop today as well

(CAN you say HUGE? And drop dead FABULOUS - go peek)

And I was pretty pleased to bring an entire NEW collection from the UBER talented Anita Quansah to the site today - She has collaborated with Christian LaCroix in the past - WOW
MUST GO SEE

This 1970s Fish Print gown sold to one of my favorite clients and I was sad to see it go - I can't believe it has not been long gone.
I always have suspected it was a Lanvin but it has not label - bye fishies!

I finally found a digital copy of this picture. I have been hunting for it for a bit - I LOVE the doors and want to use this feel as a possible inspiration for my future permanent studio space. Rustic creams blended with some of the best fabrics on the planet - perfection, no?

I spoiled myself and scooped this coat this week!
Shhhhh don't even tell My Guy a HINT that I did this - will be so in the couture dog house
*wink*

This is a sneak peek preview of a new Look Book story coming soon, shot by the talented Jennifer Cress - and yes that is this rather NON-sexy looking 1960s silk Travilla -
see what styling can do for a dress - yowza

Speaking of fabulous photos - this is from Kelly's blog today to celebrate her week of guest blogging on - ummm on THE LUCKY MAGAZINE SITE. Yep our very own gorgeous girl is guest blogging there all week. I sent her a couple of skirts from the shop to use for some shoots so you might just recognize this little 1950s Hand Painted Mexican Skirt.
Its famous now :-)

And that was my week!

Bye Bye

Beautiful Shrimpton Client Alert!

The beautiful Katie posted this picture for me to see of her gorgeous self on Facebook.

That necklace you see peeking out from under her shirt is from Shrimpton's very own Crystal Waterfall in the Louise Black collection!

Lovely Shrimpton Client Spot!

I always am so happy when I can share pictures of my fabulous clients wearing their treasures from Shrimpton Couture. Judy posted this picture on her blog today and sent me the link and I could not resist posting it here as well. She is the author of the Atlantis Home blog and its sort of funny that though I read her blog every day for some reason it did not clue in who she was when she purchased this 1970s Adolfo sweater dress from me. It was only afterward that I found out and had a bit of a laugh at my clueless self. She looks incredible and if you are not already a daily reader of her blog you need to pop over

Love

I am so in love with Anna Dello Russo at the moment - total girl crush.

She is like a walking runway of some of the best edited looks of the season and is fearless in wearing even the extreme looks that we might love but wonder if we could actually wear. These are from fellow bloggers The Sartorialist & Jak & Jil so you might have already seen them but I am posting anyway.

If there was ever a closet I would want access too.........
