VINTAGE VIXEN: It's HOT!
by Tess
It is so scorching hot outside, all we feel like wearing are bodysuits/swimsuits as clothes! This one is especially cute- pair with a skirt or shorts for the day, and you're ready for sprinklers or a pool at a moment's notice!
How are you staying cool?

VINTAGE VIXEN: Bucket Bags for Summer
by Tess
I've been trying to commit to carrying a smaller purse for summer. I'm in love with the bucket bag as an easy carry-all-the-essentials solution. Love the cross body option for running around hassle-free in this heat. Adore these two non-black options below! So cute and easy. This classic vintage shape all of a sudden feels very modern, stylish and also practical. I want them both!

VINTAGE VIXEN: Only in July...
by Tess
Vintage Anchor Crop Top
This sweet summer top falls in that special category of things you can really only pull off in July (well maybe August too...). Love the combination of plaid/nautical/red, white and blue, and a little tie. So so cute!!

VINTAGE VIXEN: Nude Heels
by Tess
I am not sure where I'd be this summer without nude heels. I am wearing nude heels with tight jeans, shorts, skirts, dresses- you name it! I feel like my legs are a million miles long and I love the daytime confidence. Wanting to explore the vintage options? See below! There are a lot of styles of nude heels and they don't all have to have a platform... They all will make you look and feel great. (Also they go with everything!)

Father's Day is just around the corner! Vintage finds can make a great Father's Day gift. A sharp wool hat or a vintage set of glassware can be a unique and stylish way to say I <3 you, Dad...

VINTAGE VIXEN: White Envelope Clutch

VINTAGE VIXEN: More Perfect Plaid!
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!

VINTAGE VIXEN: Floral Romper
VINTAGE BLACK FLORAL ROMPER
I love a great romper. Like a dress, but with more mobility! You can ride a bike, or not worry about strong winds... This romper is beautiful with the princess seams on the bodice, the nice waist seam, and the leotard styling on top. Think of all the ways you can build on this foundation! Cardigan, belt, sandals and a shoulder bag and you are good for a weekend lunch or running around doing errands and looking adorable. Or sub this romper for your cocktail dress and pair with cute heels and a clutch and some great big necklace on the next night out! And it's Betsey Johnson, which explains the perfect pretty flower print and girly, playful style.

VINTAGE VIXEN: Perfect Plaid Shirt
by Tess
1970s Paper Thin Rainbow Madras Plaid Camp Folded Cuff Blouse
This shirt is the perfect way to do plaid this spring/summer. The magenta, powder blue, purple, and marigold make for a unique and pretty color palate. The cut of the cuffed sleeves is very feminine- as is the gathering up at the top of the shoulder. I am imagining this with dark denim high waisted shorts... tucked in of course! Perfect for summer!

VINTAGE VIXEN: Cut Out Leather Flats
by Tess
Vintage Leather Cut Out Lace Up Flat Shoes in Light Brown Color, Size 8
I LOVE these shoes. I am on a total hunt for this style shoe for summer... There is something so sweet and feminine about the cut outs but the brown leather is very classic and not too girly. I like this as a summer alternative to the oxford.
Now I need to find some in my size!

VINTAGE VIXEN: ...
by Tess
Mother's day is around the corner... What are you getting your mom? Don't forget your vintage options. The generations prior to us had all sorts of sweet ways to make mom feel special. I recommend scouring the vintage shops for Mom-related accessories! Mom pins, Mother brooches, M clips (not just for ties)- your mom would be so excited to receive such an adorable and thoughtful gift. And all without breaking the bank!

VINTAGE VIXEN: Sweater clip

Sweet little vintage sweater clip to hold together the front of your cardigan. How dainty and darling! I've always wanted one of these clips, but didn't want to spend a ton of money in case I don't wear it as much as I think I will- this one is so affordable and just the perfect little accessory!

Vintage Vixen: Accessorize your waist!
By Tess
This awesome belt is so cute. I've been really into gold for accessories lately. This color is great for spring, and the little chain details at the sides are subtle and classy. It's in great condition, and at this price, it's a steal!

Vintage Vixen: Nautical Now!
I am in love with the thick stripes on this little blazer. How cute that the sleeves are cut with the stripes going down the arm and the bodice has stripes across. And the buttons are great! I am a big fan. Summer is coming and that means Nautical is Now in my books.

Vintage Vixen for FDD: The Friday Dress
This cute cocktail dress has a convertible cowl neck that can be pinned up and folded origami-style into a little accordion pleat, an envelope fold, or it can be draped in a sexy deep U-cowl neck. Talk about going from the boardroom to the bar: this is the perfect Friday-at-the-office turns into Friday-at-the-bar dress! Fully lined and a comfy stretch cotton skirt make sure it will be comfortable to wear all day long...Vintage Vixen for FDD: Designer Alert
Designer Alert: Tracy Feith for Target: The Redux
Price: $39.99
BUY IT
When I heard Target was planning a Go International Designer Collaboration 5 year celebration with a relaunch of 34 dresses, I was so excited! I've been a big fan of the collaborations for the past 5 years- I always go to Target and check out the new collections, trying things on for fit and fabric assessment before usually buying one choice piece from each collection. Naturally, after having formed my own opinions about which were the best dresses over the years, I was so interested to see which ones they would choose. I have to say I was disappointed! They did NOT choose the strongest dresses from most of the collections, with one standout exception: Tracy Feith! These dresses are such a great deal for $39.99. They are made of high quality soft and fine cotton, are fully lined, have nice zipper hardware and have a cute fit! In a sea of cheap polyester and flimsy elastic, these dresses are a sight for sore eyes. They are really great! Not just in the photos, but in person too! You officially have the Vintage Vixen stamp of approval (the cute vintage shapes don't hurt either). Go buy them!
