That Biba outfit is lovely, but judging by the label I think it's a very recent vintage (rather than 70's). Biba were relaunched in the 90's, I bought a lovely beaded bag from them then and the label is similar.

I bet it'd look fabulous on though!

Yeah me too, it's a cracker. I would love that myself.

Just bought this lovely late 30s playsuit from one of my fav sellers on Etsy - Adeline's Attic. It's my Xmas present to myself as I have always wanted one. Been looking for an original for 12 years. I don't tend to wear a lot of bright colours but I love the pattern.

Swinggal I love this! Everything with boats and pink on it is a total win I think

I can't believe I got this suit for less than £40 including shipping! There are a few repairs that need doing but it needs pressing but it will be lovely!

I guess I can delete that one from my favourites! Glad a fellow Lounger got it.

I Have been admiring this 30's style Evening culottes Suit from the iconic 1970's BIBA store

Finally ordered a pair of Oliver Goldsmith "Manhattan" shades as worn by Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's:

I'm so glad that playsuit is going to such an appreciative buyer. I do hope you love it and hope you post some fabulous outfit pics in it once it arrives! Thanks, too, for the kind words about my shop (and link).

Got a great deal on a Ralph Lauren cashmere overcoat today. Original price was $400.00, but it was hanging on a rack marked 75% off. When the clerk rang it up the price came up over $200.00. I pointed out the 75% sign and she immediately called another clerk to take the sign down, it had been left up from a pre-Christmas sale by mistake and should have been replaced by a 50% off sign. They still gave me the 75% off price though. I'll try to get a pic of the coat being worn over a proper suit and get it up here.

I hit up the Boxing Day sales at the local pin-up/rockabilly stores. I came home with $360 worth of stuff for $180 - which is a lot more than I would have usually paid for what I bought, but considering that what I paid for 3 dresses and a blouse would have added up to one dress and the blouse regular price, it was worth it.


Heartbreaker Dolly top: online listed at $58, bought for ~$38 (I can't find my receipt or the price tag on the blouse. Weird...)

Heartbreaker Jolene dress: In store for $116, bought for $58 (and listed online for $96!!)

Heartbreaker Diane Dress: On sale already for $80, bought for $40

Rock Steady dress: in store for $84, bought for $42
(my parents are going to Nashville this winter and I'm going to ask them to pick up some teal cowboy boots for this outfit )

I'm not the type to like Boxing Day shopping - I hate crowds and pushy people - but I went with a new friend and we had a really great time! And it's worth it when I know that the styles generally look good on me (which is why I wear vintage and vintage-inspired in the first place).

Wow, I like to consider myself a bargain hunter and you have put me to shame. I can't believe those deals!

Pretty shoes!
