My Best Vintage for 2007

Everyone seems to have year-end round ups of The Best of 2007, and so why not yours truly?

This is an assortment of my favorite items sold this past year, not all my faves I'm sure, but more than I intended to trot out! If you love something you see, and regret having missed a chance to make it your own, never fear, there is always more wonderful vintage for 2008!

Starting with the earliest:
Extraordinary 1920s silk


1930s flowery organdy


Late 30s lounge dress


40s suits...my perennial favorite outfits of all




40s prints to LIVE for!




I was crazy, too, for some 40s accessories, including a flop-over faille hat with glass ball hat pin


Ruched leather platforms


Necklace with glass lilies


A couple of favorite 40s dresses




Party! From the late 40s through 80s:




Suzy Perette








Mr. Blackwell


Victor Costa


For design and construction:
Howard Greer


Bonnie Cashin


Monastic-style by Junior Sophisticates


Deep rainbow stripes


Alfred Shaheen


Impeccably tailored silk suit from Paris


For the vintage goddess-type, a touch of midas


Perfectly fitted black sheath and polka dot-lined bolero



And just a touch of the wild:
Black vinyl motorcyle jacket


Classic pillbox in faux leopard


Very pimp-chic 70s coat in faux furs


Renewed hope and peace to all for 2008!
