Vintage Shop Updates: Lace + Sparkles

This week's shop updates are probably some of the prettiest (and girliest!) the shop has had in awhile. All the dresses are from the 1940s to the 1950s as well as the jewelry. Be sure to take a peek inside the shop! (Also, Adorevintage has a new look, let us know what you think of it!)

Vintage Shop Updates: "Bonjour Printemps!" Lovely Spring-y Vintage

Today's shop updates are inspired by the arrival of Spring. In most parts of the country it's still very cold, but in L.A. the trees are starting to blossom, the sun is warm against my cheek, and flowers are beginning to sprout up along sidewalks. How very fitting that the color scheme is cream, white, pale green, and sky blue.

Vintage Shop Updates: Little Black Vintage Dresses

It's the quintessential wardrobe piece every woman must own in her closet, so instead of just a simple little black dress, why not make it a special little black vintage dress? There are even more vintage dresses in the shop!

Happy New Year! Happy New Vintage!

Bonjour 2011! Adieu 2010! I feel that wonderful tingly feeling of promise, or perhaps it's the champagne... (Happy New Year!)

Wonderful vintage clothing is coming soon to the shop...above is a preview and only a few of the items on this rack are stocked in the shop at the moment (and this isn't even the entire rack!)

I've added a few lovely things already the past couple days, I just couldn't wait to share my most recent finds with all of you!

These Are A Few of my Favorite Things...

So many vintage pretties in the shop right now (and with a lot more coming!) I've been so busy with wardrobe styling jobs that Adorevintage has seldom received shop updates. But with the rain and the chilly weather, it's difficult to do outdoor natural light shoots... so now I can concentrate on my first love...vintage!

I spent a good chunk of the morning and some of this afternoon commenting back on those of you who have graciously took your time to comment on my blog. I do try to read so many and make sure I leave thoughtful remarks as I sincerely appreciate your comments.

I'm quite bummed it's raining in L.A. and I won't be able to witness the Lunar Eclipse (on the Winter Solstice no less!) At least I'll see photos tomorrow (but it's not the same *le sigh*)

Vintage Shop Updates: A Mini Collection "Away We Go"

A mix of vintage from 1960s and 1970s. This would be an adorable outfit, no? I love the leather and fur lined coat, so warm and cozy! Check Adorevintage.com to shop this vintage "mini collection."

Vintage Clothing Shop Updates: A Tapestry of Colors

I absolutely adore the color scheme for this week's vintage shop updates! Coincidentally enough all the colors match one of my favorite bags in the shop, The "In Fair Verona" tapestry bag. I hope you gals love the return to color coordinated vintage updates, I know I certainly love it! *hehe*

The past few weeks have been such a mish mosh of vintage shop updates, I had to find some common ground...hence the color grouping! I respond really well when like colors are placed together and racks of clothes are assembled with some cohesion.

I've been trying to juggle two different jobs (I'm a wardrobe stylist as well) and it's been shoot after shoot lately and I'm feeling a bit chaotic. So, for the month of December, I'm trying very hard to concentrate on AV and back to regularly updating with color schemes (my favorite sort of updates)

BTW, if you're curious... you can view my online styling portfolio here: www.rodellee.com It's a bit of a mess since I'm fnalizing a lot of the pages, but do have a looksie!

Look for more updates in the shop soon!

Vintage Clothing Shop Updates

Adorevintage has finally gotten in new vintage clothes and accessories! YAY! The Bon Chance Madeline 1950s wiggle dress is one of my absolute favorites in the shop and would keep it in a heartbeat if it were my size! The "reverse" Peter Pan collar is just too cute, don't you think? I also quite love the Bird of Paradise hat from the 1940s with the giant plumes and the green net veil. I actually used this for a styling job I had a couple weeks ago (which hopefully you'll see in a magazine very soon!)



The vintage Wooded Violets Necklace makes me smile whenever I see it. The first time I spotted them I thought of Betty Grable even though they're from the 1980s, I don't know why, I just think of Betty! I was so shocked to find out the label on the South of Fiji Dress reads Frederick's of Hollywood! When I think of Frederick's I always imagine their cheesy lingerie, but not super adorable vintage sundresses!


Guess which of these is my favorite?! If you guessed The Cat Lady Necklace then you're right! This vintage necklace is made out of little kitty cat charms *meow* and I adore it so! I have one similar to it with elephants that I love dearly. I have quite a few figural vintage jewelry pieces so sometimes I need to let them go so I don't become the crazy cat lady of vintage costume jewelry. Ha! Ha!
