Underneath it all, it's just...metal. But costume jewelry gets to be big and bold, dramatic, sophisticated and unusual, fun, wild, weird, whatever. That $2000 tennis bracelet usually doesn't get a second look but that crazy gold choker with the parade of elephants with "ruby" eyes and dangling chains and charms, well...that's a different story.<br /><br /> Here's a few pieces to have fun with this summer that will inspire many wonderful ensembles (and stories of your own!)...

While this type of dress usually falls into that "collectible" (examine and analyze me but don't wear me) category- you know, packed away in the archives or showcased in a book or exhibit, I think it's time it got out and mingled, had a few drinks and was the last one to leave the party. This gown would like to spend a night out on the town with a fantastically, gigantic cocktail ring, a gold clutch and Jimmy Choo. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxjV3-ithxSaQTjdRtjDZEQhTMBo4lLobZzkontxx_Y5BvxqnAg28C-1Bak70EciQKGfb-jLUegPNwMLxqEI-a4Q46f-AaaH_yO5mpi1cerr0F9VYz9kEFFhyphenhypheny7O1N2_57qU3SSmTXpLU/s1600/IMG_2929.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:c enter;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxjV3-ithxSaQTjdRtjDZEQhTMBo4lLobZzkontxx_Y5BvxqnAg28C-1Bak70EciQKGfb-jLUegPNwMLxqEI-a4Q46f-AaaH_yO5mpi1cerr0F9VYz9kEFFhyphenhypheny7O1N2_57qU3SSmTXpLU/s400/IMG_2929.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463961805399144050" /></a><br />Coming to my Ebay store soon!VEGAS LAVEAU VINTAGEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04817289922466533896noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271705847287120392.post-42617326464959885532010-04-24T23:21:00.000-07:002010-04-24T23:39:16.733-07:00Vintage 1970's Diane Von Furstenberg Wrap DressVintage 1970's Diane Von Furstenberg Wrap Dress...hands down, one of my all time favorites in the realm of vintage clothing...if you do not own one, you must get one (vintage or new, DVF has so many variations of her 70's era classic- there's something for everybody)...this works for a wide array of body types and will have you looking feminine and polished in a snap...I've seen this on so many different types of women, from indie rockers to pinup girls to socialites and soccer moms, and they have all rocked it and loved how they looked in it. This 70's era find has a dainty rose print against a black background which can work all year round and of course, that signature curve-huggin' fit. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE9Pt6EtJwpqbbENDKyMhs7beWqgHyOE9rEVu9wyngyKoaV9m3Z0wokKFZucQDPrJBIoosvNWGVQQWZXUsFRdYXmAGgrwSdFFHJcb7KX54Bovpdb9Y7zK0Q6MJrIl6ce1buX3twCAdcRo/s1600/IMG_2848.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE9Pt6EtJwpqbbENDKyMhs7beWqgHyOE9rEVu9wyngyKoaV9m3Z0wokKFZucQDPrJBIoosvNWGVQQWZXUsFRdYXmAGgrwSdFFHJcb7KX54Bovpdb9Y7zK0Q6MJrIl6ce1buX3twCAdcRo/s400/IMG_2848.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463956969611850978" /></a><br />Coming to my Ebay store soon!VEGAS LAVEAU VINTAGEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04817289922466533896noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271705847287120392.post-18935947449738921352010-04-24T23:08:00.000-07:002010-04-24T23:21:19.814-07:00Vintage 1980's Mary McFadden Pleated GownVintage 1980's Mary McFadden pleated gown...simple and easy to wear- perfect for the summer, when one is too busy enjoying the warm weather and having fun to worry about coordinating outfits...the color pallette of yellow, aqua, lavender and white is especially refreshing and you gotta love the bold leaf print.

This is the perfect "inbetween" coat for those of you in cooler climes (think Stockholm, London, San Francisco). Constructed of a wool blend boucle, this vintage (circa late 60's) piece is a must-have for that early spring/early fall chill. Add to that, the bold plaid in an offbeat color combo paired with the unique design details that put Bonnie Cashin on the map, and you have a piece that will hold its own for many, many years to come. Yes, there's a reason her clothing can be found in museums and important fashion collections and yes, there's a reason why style setters are still wearing her pieces out and about today. Brilliance never goes out of style.VEGAS LAVEAU VINTAGEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04817289922466533896noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271705847287120392.post-14048141053495947582010-04-01T09:34:00.000-07:002010-04-02T13:09:06.672-07:00VINTAGE FASHION FAUX PAS #2- Acid wash / stonewash denim anything<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif3_YfgUj8PVYGdeyPP_I1KYswecTsQ_i4xP8JrHNG4MgQdh-ilmSCR87lxyrKKjC2yviuaa1bbmh4Bs3I5JIIKRbx1yxLH9A-lAjgtwfwHsoDf5dCnoBqeL3oklrnLuY7RNgwftKxsbM/s1600/182306748_o.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 272px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif3_YfgUj8PVYGdeyPP_I1KYswecTsQ_i4xP8JrHNG4MgQdh-ilmSCR87lxyrKKjC2yviuaa1bbmh4Bs3I5JIIKRbx1yxLH9A-lAjgtwfwHsoDf5dCnoBqeL3oklrnLuY7RNgwftKxsbM/s400/182306748_o.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5455208792657083362" /></a><br /><br />Truth be told, only about 99.9999998475% of people that wear clothing can actually rock this and make it look cool and fashion forward. And those of you who can have been blessed by a higher power. This short-lived 80's trend reeks of mallrats and Bon Jovi, moussed perms and frosted eyeshadow. It keeps coming back in all sorts of reinvented forms but I don't know who the denim industry is fooling- it's still just... so wrong. If you must indulge in acid wash/stonewash denim anything, let's keep it confined to 80's parties or maybe like, heavy metal karaoke night, o.k.?<br />Follow this link if you want to learn more about acid wash/stonewash denim: <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.retroland.com/pages/retropedia/fashion/item/3257/">Retroland | Acid wash / stonewash / distressed denim</a>VEGAS LAVEAU VINTAGEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04817289922466533896noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271705847287120392.post-76168448375394356662010-03-28T21:25:00.000-07:002010-04-01T09:40:55.925-07:00CASADEI vs. VICKY TIEL: 80's does 40's Battle<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicLN7EpOOiHAnuzgOYMArxCY7oHkki_1c9bR640yLk4-dc2rcYfUJ83QFZYkhR6Q9DJIN4QaLrIoc8a6uXeYNn4oMdUVXSYMhxOVZhpUkkn1-1tWN-1J_7C3puOyuXJ0FSHIDAF3U1mWQ/s1600/IMG_2411.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicLN7EpOOiHAnuzgOYMArxCY7oHkki_1c9bR640yLk4-dc2rcYfUJ83QFZYkhR6Q9DJIN4QaLrIoc8a6uXeYNn4oMdUVXSYMhxOVZhpUkkn1-1tWN-1J_7C3puOyuXJ0FSHIDAF3U1mWQ/s320/IMG_2411.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453920373928116834" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcZ2ULJYN4Q9iSrV-5bcwUbvP1KKQT4MUHhTqgt2J8-RdvhABMYv84_YAdzoPbP25banrQ-QbrK5XBY1T0JNyHdKrGrMUiqj97JawU6-8RrfK1bPydvfvkyx2tcRCdEH8Ap8Ch0-cLvo8/s1600/IMG_2394.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcZ2ULJYN4Q9iSrV-5bcwUbvP1KKQT4MUHhTqgt2J8-RdvhABMYv84_YAdzoPbP25banrQ-QbrK5XBY1T0JNyHdKrGrMUiqj97JawU6-8RrfK1bPydvfvkyx2tcRCdEH8Ap8Ch0-cLvo8/s320/IMG_2394.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453920367098216114" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd0gDh29batl0nlyzTiZShfoGE1nb174PEMcglQN3GUTgNbE2fIz4tPmwHc8PmYWVOE-V_fKBwpIDGQ2AiFjw-s4sJbLevaSAyGi9gMzicWCowpj-eywGwginNYx-QmgM4uqceTGEK0zY/s1600/IMG_2387.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd0gDh29batl0nlyzTiZShfoGE1nb174PEMcglQN3GUTgNbE2fIz4tPmwHc8PmYWVOE-V_fKBwpIDGQ2AiFjw-s4sJbLevaSAyGi9gMzicWCowpj-eywGwginNYx-QmgM4uqceTGEK0zY/s320/IMG_2387.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453908385133969666" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6VfNue6cQgeaxVlBN9xnHJF8NR1mrv-WyZoAPhaA4FbUVdA7k04uu7s6PzNaANM8nx1xXMR-6FFp06NczQ5__agML0V5K8KuIGVbBLDLFQ-MBQRITMr9c1kLSy7k7XEzqb-P4tQoYr5w/s1600/IMG_2380.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6VfNue6cQgeaxVlBN9xnHJF8NR1mrv-WyZoAPhaA4FbUVdA7k04uu7s6PzNaANM8nx1xXMR-6FFp06NczQ5__agML0V5K8KuIGVbBLDLFQ-MBQRITMr9c1kLSy7k7XEzqb-P4tQoYr5w/s320/IMG_2380.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453908374528164178" /></a><br /> While digging out several new items to put up for sale this past week, I came across these two vintage gems that fall into one of my favorite genres of vintage, the 80's does 40's. I love the fact that while the 40's-inspired design and silhouette is so similar in both of these dresses, they are in fact so radically different.<br /> First off, the raspberry colored number is by Casadei. At first glance, this can almost pass itself off as the real WWII era deal. But then there are the little details that are so indicitive of 80's obsession with all things glam/sexy/excessive. The sheer, nude insert at the bust embellished with beading and sequins, the semi-sheer fabric in vivid raspberry (just not the same as that dusty mauve from the 40's), the very bare back. Wow, very sexy and sophisticated.<br /> Next, is a vintage Vicky Tiel. Maybe a black and white photo of this dress paired with period correct hair/make-up/accessories could possibly pull off a retro 40's feel, but in person- no way! The gathering at the waist, the form-fitting wiggle factor and the the simple neckline are really the only 40's inspiration to be found. It's all about the print, though- abstract, energetic, happy graffiti in basic black on white with little accents of bright, bold color make this dress look very "now".<br /> It just goes to show that vintage has a little bit of something for everyone...VEGAS LAVEAU VINTAGEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04817289922466533896noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271705847287120392.post-6390032793888653912010-03-25T15:45:00.001-07:002010-03-26T11:06:41.851-07:00What to wear this spring...Vintage Suzy Perette<div style="text-align: left; padding: 3px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/vegaslaveauvintage/4461137953/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4032/4461137953_011c1a459a.jpg" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" alt="" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/vegaslaveauvintage/4461137953/">Vintage 1950's Suzy Perette organza & tulle party dress</a>, originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/vegaslaveauvintage/">Vegas Laveau Vintage</a>.</span></div><p> Genius! This vintage 50's frock by Suzy Perette is a masterpiece of delicate layers, combined in the most brilliant way for a stunning, yet sophisticated effect. Black organza tops a layer of black tulle with white organza underneath adding a subtle brightness. Black satin ribbon "stripes" are also sewn on the white organza, their edges are softened by the black tulle/organza overlay and they accent the large white organza and black tulle rosettes. The overall design of the dress is done just right as well- nipped waist, full skirt, simple straps. This definately falls into my category of perfection. Love it, love it, love it...</p>VEGAS LAVEAU VINTAGEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04817289922466533896noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271705847287120392.post-60813115191540577442010-03-23T23:16:00.000-07:002010-03-23T23:27:38.226-07:00CHLOE...Ready for her close-up<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYVqoZnUSkqeu0QuG3QvvSsEeIn_gqBA8WpIt9NU4C_cDQ-NuBQOm6n5chevpo4qTtiae3VPQztn_I3CfXdsYNOqCdra3LJVQxRILlpEdgO0u90_Glm0uFKSk3vCf-F_r6mpfHIZgZsa4/s1600/IMG_2287.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYVqoZnUSkqeu0QuG3QvvSsEeIn_gqBA8WpIt9NU4C_cDQ-NuBQOm6n5chevpo4qTtiae3VPQztn_I3CfXdsYNOqCdra3LJVQxRILlpEdgO0u90_Glm0uFKSk3vCf-F_r6mpfHIZgZsa4/s320/IMG_2287.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452082645790078994" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiFkqv-0pXBKjTtGFk37OK2L_y3FSXDYEy0xFxKJVFO-5rGl-KZ85Tg-8mXV3kLPyToyc74m3d-B0kFXdCdUsjZuV9Rmc1klF6yH3No8BE1CYjllHf0FGygfypiWaQCEjWnI7KIZJwz5Q/s1600/IMG_2284.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiFkqv-0pXBKjTtGFk37OK2L_y3FSXDYEy0xFxKJVFO-5rGl-KZ85Tg-8mXV3kLPyToyc74m3d-B0kFXdCdUsjZuV9Rmc1klF6yH3No8BE1CYjllHf0FGygfypiWaQCEjWnI7KIZJwz5Q/s400/IMG_2284.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452082247714413202" /></a><br />vintage 80's Chloe blouse...when Lagerfeld was in charge...victorian-inspired...dramatic...in black, of course...divineVEGAS LAVEAU VINTAGEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04817289922466533896noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271705847287120392.post-40290839808589481552010-03-19T23:01:00.000-07:002010-03-19T23:07:52.721-07:00I LOVE...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmjnDKLJHQ7wnacICg9mmo67hXCJfIbn-qezdJcEiBEdGCbwTEXB-y7jkIHtLEn9hN3OR_N0RVCaBSCrNQW0c-WM28Of-wEGYjRESIMePIIP4lcb3RB9AdLvio4SBVnpNYPmTrXDO1Ujg/s1600-h/140554144_o.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 318px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmjnDKLJHQ7wnacICg9mmo67hXCJfIbn-qezdJcEiBEdGCbwTEXB-y7jkIHtLEn9hN3OR_N0RVCaBSCrNQW0c-WM28Of-wEGYjRESIMePIIP4lcb3RB9AdLvio4SBVnpNYPmTrXDO1Ujg/s400/140554144_o.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450593380795067250" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz_Jjm_zW0jGgrUx_1Lv3-hcfkhhMmFgTtseYwU-wgrhvm8yb9Z-Ty-pgcCiTy6NBimAkitVFBd1xSF2PEm2ggZHv3fcC9DqSywN-Bqw5hs0TuVMcHFiMSIJWaItn_XEgqTcNElU2-A4M/s1600-h/Copy+(1)+of+040.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 309px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz_Jjm_zW0jGgrUx_1Lv3-hcfkhhMmFgTtseYwU-wgrhvm8yb9Z-Ty-pgcCiTy6NBimAkitVFBd1xSF2PEm2ggZHv3fcC9DqSywN-Bqw5hs0TuVMcHFiMSIJWaItn_XEgqTcNElU2-A4M/s400/Copy+(1)+of+040.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450593378420928530" /></a><br />...plastic bangles.

My drug of choice is the high heel. Yes, I've lied about buying them. Yes, I own too many of them. Yes, I hoard and hide them in order to make it seem like I don't have a problem. Yes, I sell heels in order to buy more heels. And I could care less about any sort of shoe rehab or twelve step program so there will be more space underneath my bed for other things. <br /> It all started with Charles Jourdan (who I have always felt was under rated and deserves more recognition). There's definately a soft spot in my heart for vintage Jourdans as I learned to walk in heels in a pair of red leather peeptoes that belonged to my mother. Up and down that apartment hallway, wobbly at first and running my hand against the wall to steady myself until I got it right. The 5" heel was a challenge, especially for a beginner, but damn...did they look good!<br /> In the years B.C. ("before Choo"), Charles really delivered in the late 70's/early 80's as far as beautifully designed heels that flattered the female foot. And there were always the details... the gorgeous quality leathers and suedes, a flirty peeptoe done just right, that deliciously perfect heel.<br /> So here's a little peek into the archives. These are circa 1980's, off-white patent leather with clear vinyl inserts and very "futuristic-sexy" black and aluminum cone heels and of course, a peeptoe.

Vintage Christian Dior girdle/bodysuit (dating back to the late 70's/early 80's)is just as fresh and wearable as ever and so in tune with spring's retro lingerie inspired looks. Yes, I've been oohing and aahing at all the fashion mags lately and love all the pastels, fluff, lace and satins and chiffons. This piece just validates why vintage is the way to go if you're going to do designer- gotta love the subtlety of the Dior logo in nude against the skin (is it lace or...wait a second, it says "Dior" all over!)How clever!VEGAS LAVEAU VINTAGEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04817289922466533896noreply@blogger.com0
