VINTAGE VIXEN: Sheer Beauty


I've been seeing a lot of sheer pieces lately- layered in classy and beautiful stylish summer outfits. This dress is a perfect example of how sweet and sexy and breezy a summer sheer can be! I love the stripes on the top and the pleated floral skirt. It is so cute how she's layered it over a black tank and little capris, but I would even try it over a shorter skirt or leggings. Loving this look!

Work Your Style

This very tailored dress is perfect for summer officewear.  The softer red color makes it a great choice for late summer/fall (it can make a seamless transition with a pair of lace up brown boots!)

Solid Strapless

By Jax


Welcome back, fashionistas!  I hope you all had a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend!

I thought I would kick things off again with something fun and summery!   I wore strapless things all weekend, and honestly, once you find a solid strapless bra, the world is your strapless dress oyster.  I love this little halter dress because if you wear it anywhere sunny, you can just untie the halter and get your tan on, and you'll still be totally supported!

VINTAGE VIXEN: More Perfect Plaid!


by Tess

I am having a moment with plaid! I am just in love with this little dress. Wish I was wearing it to a Memorial Day bbq today... Take a look at the bodice styling of this dress: It's almost like a pinafore- with the bias cross-plaid pattern making a very flattering V on the front, and a looser skirt with the plaid on a vertical/horizontal grid. So classy! Also the black and white is really charming and would be easy to wear everywhere. I might even take this dress to a tailor and hem the skirt shorter to show more leg (since I'm so short)- or keep it this length for easy, breezy wear all summer long! I wish there were more dresses out there like this one, but it looks like this is one of a kind.

Happy Memorial Day everyone!

DESIGNER ALERT: Halston Heritage

By Jax



This is one for my tall, skinny ladies!  It won't look good on most other folks, but at least you get to take advantage of the sale!

Although the dress is flowy and capelike in the front, it does have definition in the back, so you'll still have a shape.

Flower Burst

By Jax




I love transition dresses!  The ones you can make casual or fancy depending on your accessories!

This dress with a pair of dressy stiletto sandals and pearls would be perfect for that dinner with your parents at the fancy restaurant they take you to when you come to town.  However, it's equally perfect with a pair of Toms and a big brown woven belt to walk your dog in!

Click through to look at the pattern up close...it's delightfully springy!

Sugar Sweet Dress

By Jax





Even one-shoulder haters will have a soft spot for this amazingly constructed dress.  Pleated skirts are about to come back in a BIG way, and I love the interplay of the pleating and the side-swept ruching.  This is a great dress to wear to a wedding (or to wear if you're a bridesmaid!)

This Is A Brand New Day

By Jax




Shake off yesterday, because today is a new day!

This dress seems to encapsulate all the hope and excitement that comes with a completely new day.  The slight sweetheart bodice gives the dress a little more bust shape than your average skinny strap frock.  I love the entire color scheme, and the different colored paneling.  And it's been raining so much here, that I have to point out it's a dress for rain and shine alike!

Beachy Blues

By Jax




If you're into tropical dresses, then you know all the beauty a tropical blue dress is to behold.  This "palm" pattern is tropical without making you look like you're a garden in Hawaii.  For a dressy look, pair it with white stiletto sandals.  To go more casual, reach for a pair of neutral cork wedges.

Retro Imitation

By Jax




More of the 1950s aesthetic I love!

I immediately imagined this dress with a big white beaded necklace and a thick white belt, a red scarf for the head, and a pair of red pumps.  It looks nice and light, perfect for summer heat!
