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.

"Network" (1976)




"Can you believe how prescient this movie is?" my husband asked, as we watched the 1976 classic "Network."

"I know. Faye Dunaway is so in style right now."

Okay, so I have what some may call a "bad" habit of getting distracted by the vintage clothes when we watch old movies. But yesterday while watching "Network," it was impossible NOT to notice how glamorously chic Faye looked in her camel-colored wardrobe. I swear, every scene introduced a new silk blouse with poet sleeves and built-in ascot. She wore blouson tops with high-waisted skirts or pants, all in this earthy '70s palette that's so warm and inviting.

By the time she strutted down the street in a tweed and fur coat, I had to pause the movie. It was too... good. With all this style inspiration coursing through my veins, I turned to Tin Roof Vintage, one of my favorite and most reliably chic haunts. Their collection brought out the best of Faye with a modern twist.
