Zooey Deschanel Wears Vintage Dresses on Stage
A few pictures of Zooey Deschanel in the cutest vintage dresses! She has wonderful stage style, don't you think? I bet Zooey's closet is full of 50s party dresses and playful 60s minis. I also feel she chooses silhouettes that really compliment her coloring and figure.
I created a Zooey style gallery on { Adore Vintage } from the movie "500 Days of Summer" here... { 500 Days of Summer Vintage Style }.

Lovely Vintage Finds: Pretty Vintage Hats
I would love to start wearing hats, but I haven't quite figured out how to easily incorporate them in casual daywear like women did back in the good old days. Here are a lovely vintage hats from the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s that are quite special, but are really the kind of hats you can't wear day to day unless you are Dita Von Teese.

Sorry for the little hiatus from the blog. Spent a long weekend with the family up North and always need a mini vacation from the mini vacation. *hehe* Actually I was busy with catching up on housework which meant work-work had to wait.
Blog to regular blogging tomorrow. I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving break!

Zooey Deschanel Loves Vintage!
Just read an interview with Zooey Deschanel from Topshop and thought I would share.

A few quotes...
You tend to wear a lot of vintage. Which era do you love the most?
That's hard to say. Stylistically, I have always liked the sixties - I love the dress shapes and the diversity of fashion that emerged from that era. (I kind of flit and float between all the eras but seem to own mostly 50s, 60s, and 70s)
Is there someone or something that inspires your look?
I am inspired by a lot of different people but I think as I grow older I want to dress to express myself and show who I am rather than try to be like someone else. I also always get jealous of children's fashion. I often walk by shops with dresses and coats made for little girls and wish they made them for adults! (I feel this way too!)
Zooey Deschanel wears a vintage (Gunne Sax?) hippie prairie dress.

Rachel Zoe is Paisley Pretty
One of the reasons I adore Rachel Zoe's style so much is she really sticks to what she loves and what looks good on her. And of course, she is also a huge fan of vintage and advocates wearing it on a daily basis (hurrah!)
Here are some pictures of Rachel Zoe at Vogue's 1 Year Anniversary Party For 3.1 Phillip Lim's LA Store wearing a vintage 1970s maxi dress with a lovely paisley and floral print. It has a folky glam feel to it, don't you think? Well actually, I think it's more just folky...but since Rachel Zoe just adds a bit of glam to everything she wears... it becomes folk glam.
