Victorian Boheme


I bought this vintage cameo necklace to reward myself for working like a fiend this week. I'm so excited to get it. My last gift-to-self ended up being a bust - the 1930's black velvet dress came this week, and it was far fancier than I anticipated. I'd hoped I could belt it and wear it out, but the materials are very "cocktail" and it even has a dramatic hemline I didn't notice before. Bummer. I suppose I will probably list it next week for those of you looking for a special event dress.

On the other hand, here is a dress I most certainly require to exist. I'm just mad about it. It's so Sabrina, and I don't use the third person lightly.




I'll make you a deal. You can bid on anything else in the store you like, but don't bid on this dress. You don't cross me.

Impulse Vintage

Vintage 1930's Black Velvet and Satin Dress - $20

I purchased this dress today with little to go by but an out-of-focus snapshot. The auction ended at 2 PM on a Wednesday so yeah, I got an insane deal.

Proper photos should be heading your way once I get it in my grubby paws. I'm hoping it isn't too "cocktail" to wear out and about. Velvet can be tricky, and satin, trickier still. But I feel like a super long pendant necklace and some gladiator sandals could squeak out some of the fanciness. I needn't look dapper going to the UCB.

Much love,
Sabrina London
