ANOTHER FUN FIND! TRUE VINTAGE 1960’S LADIES SKY BLUE CORFAM HEELS

IMG_1712Aren’t these just amazing?  Brand “new” Mod pumps – just right on a date with the man wearing the shirt in yesterday’s post.

This is one of my favorite shoe colors and, in this case, made of easy-care vinyl.  Of course, I would prefer leather but Corfam is iconic Sixties and has its advantages, too.

Mid-heel pumps are also iconic Sixties and will look great with many different outfits.  Wow – I’m really in rare find heaven recently!  Can’t wait to see what’s around the corner . . . . . . .

Aren’t these shoes beautiful? The design is so unique, and the quality is wonderful. Smooth white and black patent leather.

This handbag is vinyl and like so many from the 1950’s and 1960’s – HOWEVER, I like it because it has two full compartments, a mid-night navy satin lining, sewn vinyl handle rather than a chain and smart-looking hardware. It’s a great partner to these marvelous shoes, which . . . . .

will never go out of style and will always get attention and compliments!!!!

SHOE TREASURE! TRUE VINTAGE DE LISO SWEET SIXTIES SLINGBACK PUMPS

This is just the first of at least 3 pairs of fabulous true vintage shoes that I’ve just uncovered. De Liso footwear is always the most wonderful thing to find because of their quality, styling and the company history – since the 1920’s.

As with all quality shoes from the early Nineties and before, I love the leather foot-liners and gold-embossed lettering inside. Plus, the heels and soles last forever and can always be repaired when the time finally comes.

Crocodile-embossed leather in a lady-like mid-century slingback style that is always elegant. This pair looks like a spring-summer one, but could go year-round in warmer climates, even during the fall and winter months, because they are in winter white, so classic and obviously well-made. You can’t get by with that in cheaper footwear – doesn’t look “right”.

These are the least edgy of the shoes so far, but I’m always excited by the classics, too. Rocks my inner Grace Kelly.. . . . . . .

A Few 1940s Wardrobe Staples

A Few 1940s Wardrobe Staples

Here are a few items that I ran across by surprise – from the 1940s (or so).  All perfect finishes for a wartime or post-war costume.  Mary-jane all leather shoes (always a classic), Capezio soft leather dance or casual flats and a couple of simple woven bags from the Depression era or time of wartime rationing – a drawstring and one with a metal zip in the top.  It’s fun to find things in such good condition (and at very good prices). You just never know . . . .

TRUE VINTAGE FALL FOOTWEAR – A PAIR OF SHOES THAT REMIND ME OF AUDREY

FALL FASHION FOOTWEAR – TRUE VINTAGE, AUDREY HEPBURN-STYLE

A PAIR OF TRUE VINTAGE SHOES THAT REMIND ME OF AUDREY

The actress Audrey Hepburn, I’ve read, favored cute little low-heeled shoes like these in the 1950’s and 1960’s when she was making many movies in America and Europe. Though this pair are not quite that old, they’re of a style that has been around for decades and were made by a company that used to sell good-quality shoes and purses.

Nothing beats the classics and these are pure – Fall colors, back to school, practical casual fashion and comfort.  Fashion items this versatile are a super investment, while looking so unique!  Leather uppers with strong synthetic soles, they’ll last forever if they are looked after.  Ahh, the beauty of a true vintage quality wardrobe . . . . ..

I wear them with a skirt and sweater, a jumper dress, slacks or even a simple suit. They’re a good choice for a day of shopping or sight-seeing or a long…
