"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.

I received an email from Urban Outfitters, inviting me to "wear Spring's first glimmer of light with '70s bohemian needlepoint lace, embroidered mesh and antiqued patterns in shades of white and ivory." They call this trend Mulholland Rose. When I clicked the link, I was amazed to find many variations of dresses in our store right now.

All bias aside, I found our stuff much cuter. ;)

Favorite Dress of the Week

Vintage '60s PEACH LACE Mod Mini Dress - Alameda Vintage

This truly was a restoration piece when I found it, but I'm so glad I took the risk. It was originally covered in blue stains, probably 40 years old stains. Like a similar dress I sold last week, it was also maxi length. I cut off the long skirt and soaked the stains in Oxyclean. To my sheer delight, it worked.

The dress is now absolutely PERFECT.

A true Cinderella story.

Wham, Bam, Thank You, Ma'am!

Alameda Vintage

27 fabulous vintage pieces for auction end tonight. Shazam!

Also, yours truly has a bout of the chronic bronchitis again so apologies for the slow updates. Yesterday while modeling with my voice-activated camera, I lost my voice and kept wheezing "Computer, cheese!" to no avail. So I might look a little grumpy in the photos. We'll see.

A special thank you to everyone who made last week a raving success and a preemptive thanks to everyone who bids tonight. My love to you all!
