Dress Details! {Vintage Part Quatre}

I know, I usually don't provide commentary, yet on these vintage posts, I just can't seem to help myself.

I fell in love with Red House Vintage (and I could say the same for TimelessVixenVintage) because their dresses were always gorgeously photographed, which easily distinguished them on ebay.  (RHV apparently also has an etsy store.) 

But contrasting their gorgeous photography (and TVV) with, say, what looks to be gorgeous dresses but very poor photography in ... well, an online boutique that I'll choose not to name.  Well, it just seems so easy to me, as a consumer, to say who I'd want to buy from.  So then I wonder -- why wouldn't someone take the time to look their best?

I guess I'm just saying this since I've had my own etsy shop in the back corner of my mind.  And for anyone else with an etsy or other online shop, this comparison illustrates most simply the importance of showcasing your wares to the best of your ability, and what your product truly deserves -- not just vintage dresses, but whatever crafts or other products you design and sell online.

*stepping off podium* -- Now here's to enjoying more gorgeous vintage dresses, all via Red House Vintage.

Dress Details {Vintage Part Trois}

What can I say, except the dress above had me swooning over vintage black dresses. Oh, Timeless Vixen Vintage (and on etsy here) -- le sigh.

Happy Valentine's Day! {Vintage Dresses Part Deux}

Seriously. There are too many confections out there that are toooo cute & evoke Valentine's Day goodness in my head :) Here's to hoping your day is as lovely as these vintage treasures, all from TimelessVixenVintage!

Suuuper Want

The many-talented Rachel, blog-author of Lovely Clusters, had a *delightful* color-cluster post of blue & green -- and I fell in love. This is just goorgeous. If I didn't have to save up for some upcoming travel, this would be mine in a heartbeat. No, I have nowhere to use this. But who cares? That fabric is just sumptuous. le sigh.

Okay, and who am I kidding -- I'd *love* this too.

At $47, that's not bad at all!  Um, if I were getting married or had another fancy event to attend.  Shoot, I'm already bidding on *another* lace dress, hee :) (yes, actually, it *is* very Adrianna Papell! or perhaps I should venture to say AP is going vintage...)

And if only I were a smidge tinier + richer, I'd go for these, too!  super le sigh.

Man, I wish I could find a full length shot -- but I just saw Secondhand Lions (hee!), and Kyra Sedgwick's dress in her last apperance in the movie -- not this one, but it's similar, being a white/ivory sheath, but with a pink lace accent at the collar. Le sigh.

Adore Vintage

Jen @ MadebyGirl spotlighted Adore Vintage the other day -- seriously, *such* pretty things!
