Borrowing Tips from Grace Kelly’s Style

  


 

Easy to wear blouse, Capri pants, cute flats, simple hair and glam sunglasses?  Check, and check!  Whether or not I’ve managed to pull off the ‘Grace Kelly’ look, I do not know, but I do know that I love the simplicity of this outfit!

The vintage baby-doll top I recently purchased is one of the best maternity pieces I have ever laid eyes on ~ it’s the one item in my current wardrobe that I wish I could wear when I’m not expecting.   

As you can imagine, I getting a lot of use out of this blouse.   ; )  It’s just too cute not to wear as much as possible!  And on the subject of cute, how amazing are these repro 1950s styled sunglasses?? 

I think they are simply the bee’s knees, and even better, I could order them with my current script so I don’t have to either a}. Go blind and just wear the sunglasses or b}. Have to wear my sunglasses over the top of my actual glasses.  Which, let’s face it, isn’t an attractive look so that only happens when I’m driving and no one can see what I’ve done.   > o <

Thankfully these sunglasses have arrived now, so my days of dorky glasses-over-glasses can be safely thrown out the window ~ just in time for my family {and extend family} trip to South Australia. 

I’m looking forwards to our Christmas away, and I will try to keep updating, but I don’t know how consistent my ‘net connection will be, so I’ll wish you all “Happy Holidays!” just in case I don’t get to post until I get back.

Link Love ~ Casual 1940s & 1950s Style Inspiration

It’s been a while since the last Link Love, no?  Still, when I saw this post on casual vintage style by Miss Virginia of Retrospect, I knew I had to share it.

Talk about the perfect out-and-about outfit inspiration!  I love the elegant touch of a neat blouse and Capri pants; in fact I’ve actually bought two new pairs of Capris recently that I can’t wait to show you in an outfit post.  In the mean time, however, enjoy these lovely looks from the past, and don’t forget to hop on over for the rest of the gorgeous pictures.

Between my youngest sister’s wedding, the worst head cold in the history of mankind {on top of nasty hay fever naturally}, and planning for a Christmas holiday in South Australia, I thought I’d better pop in and let you all know I’m not dead!

Just rhhhheaaallly busy.   > . < 

I have pretty pictures to show though, so that’s something right?
