Vintage Coats on Sale at Couture Allure

I've been having a frustrating battle with my newsletter service, as I sent a newsletter yesterday at 11:30 AM which you all should have received by now. Newsletter service says the emails all went out, facts say no they haven't. I didn't receive mine and not one person has opened this email. Who knows when they'll go out? You'll probably get yours at midnight on Sunday, the 33rd. Bah!

The newsletter offers a sale on vintage coats, so I thought I'd better put that information for you here. From now through Monday, November 3, save 20% off on all coats and furs at Couture Allure. Simply enter coupon code "coat" at checkout. The coupon is only good on coats and does not apply to previous purchases. Go...shop! Click here to see all Couture Allure vintage coats. Or click the pictures to see more details.

Nicole's jewelry line is selling incredibly well

Want to look like Nicole Richie? Now you can - sorta.
The former "Simple Life" star's jewelry line, House of Harlow 1960, is currently up for grabs at ShopKitson.com - and it's going like hot cakes.
"The line is selling incredibly well - well beyond our high expectations," Dean Khalil, vice president of Kitson L.A., told the Daily News.
Aspiring Richie-a-likes can get their hands on 16 offerings, including an "antigue" ring ($12), black leather cuff ($125) and the $28 leather 'n' gold starburst ring Richie donned last week - along with the majority of her collection.
The fashionista named her debut jewelry line after her 10-month-old daughter, Harlow, and her love of retro duds.
"I've always felt that great accessories are essential in every complete outfit," Richie said in a press release.
"I wanted to create a collection that was easy to mix and match; to either wear alone as an everyday piece, or stack on to make more of a statement."
Richie's line, which won't ship until the first week of December, is produced by Mouawad - the same company behind the Heidi Klum Collection.

Have a Vintage Halloween!

If ever there is a day to wear orange, it's Halloween! This gorgeous suit was shown in the December 1957 issue of a fashion magazine. The magazine calls this color "golden apricot" - um, OK. Orange. The suit is by Handelsman & Raiffe and is trimmed in lynx fur. It was available at Henri Bendel for $185.00 ($1420.00 today) I can't find any references to "Handelsman & Raiffe" anywhere, and the label is unfamiliar to me, but isn't the suit yummy?

My impression of this photo? Love the suit, but the model is way too thin! If you thought super thin, anorexic models were a modern phenomena, think again. This gal is so thin, the back of the skirt is sagging because her non-existent derriere can't fill it out. Perhaps a little trick-or-treating would help!

Have a fun vintage Halloween, watch out for ghosts and goblins, and play safe!

Great Boots from Sam Edelman

I'm not usually into suede because it gets dirty so easily, but these are real show-stoppers from Sam Edelman! They remind me of some of the stuff we wore in the late 60s- early 70's. I think I had a suade jacket that had similar fringe on the sleeves!

{love}

Leaving certainty behind for a new high-gloss adventure today, and amidst the champagne and excitement lies a warm nostalgia and a little sentimentality -- there are old friends to bid farewell to, and new friends to meet . . .

"A ship in harbor is safe — but that is not what ships are for."

{And life is an adventure.}

{kisses for P. for the surprise of such a lovely and thoughtful gift and for unfailingly knowing exactly what i need. . .}
