Here is a collection I designed that is inspired by Brigitte Bardot.  I really had fun designing this one.  I used the lines from a vintage motorcycle to determine my seam lines.  I would love to have one of these constructed before the fall!

My husband was having a flashback moment today and pulled up a music video by Boney M.  I had never heard of them before (they were before me time, teehee!)  Anyway, I was really struck by this video for the song Ma Baker!  I am in love with the ladies’ dresses.  They are Hippie Boho with an edge.  The sheer paneling takes these dresses to the next level.  Believe you me, I will be on the look out for dresses like this.  They are very on trend for what’s going on in vintage for spring/summer.

Be Different. Be Unique. Wear Vintage.

What do you get when you pair a vintage bustier with maxi skirts or a floral maxi skirt with an Alice Cooper Tee?  Three very different looks that work from day to night.

This bustier also makes an appearance in my last look book….

If you ever come across a vintage bustier, don’t be afraid to buy it.  Use it to spice up and “ECLECTIFY YOUR WARDROBE.”

Vintage You Can Buy Now!

I have been working on opening up my online boutique ChicCityVintage for the last few weeks.  But the hardest part has been deciding what platform to open it on.  I have been putting together a stand alone website, but each time I visit Ebay, I get deterred.  Then the matter worsens when I visit Etsy.  I love the idea of having a stand alone website, but I love the fact that Ebay and Etsy get so much vintage traffic.  With a stand alone site, I have to market harder.  Not that I mind that.  I actually love to promote and market, however, I am trying to make a living doing what I love all while raising two small children, working on an MFA, and managing a household.

I have a soft launch date of Monday, August 20th.  Most of the work is done.  Its just a matter of where to load it up.

I welcome your input!

Yeah Yeah, I know.  I should blog more often.  Well, I have been busy!  Busy with trying to open up an online vintage boutique!!!!  ChicCityVintage Online Vintage Clothing Boutique Coming Soon!  Until, then, take a gander at my look book, Garden Delight.  This past summer, I got some of girlfriends together and had them play dress up for me wearing some of the pieces that will be for sale at my boutique.

All the jewelry was provided by my friend Tracey for Chloe & Isabel and the photography was done by my friend Nicole for Pink Fish Photography.  If you like the jewelry and want to see more pieces, check out Tracey’s Chloe & Isabel page.  In the Boston/Worcester area and need a photographer?  Check out Pink Fish Photography!
