What could be prettier and more cool-looking over the next few weeks as the temperatures begin to rise? These were made by Life Stride, the long-time shoe company that, I think, is still in business. They are fabric-covered all over with a peek-a-boo lace upper.
Fortunately, these were made during the time when quality materials and workmanship were still the standard. I love it that the heels and toes are reinforced and that they are constructed to last! What could be prettier for spring and summer wear . . . . . . . . . . .

Yes, you did see the one on the left a few days ago, but here’s my photo with both. The vibrant-colored fabric with such a rich hand makes these garments radiant and unique.
Thai silk is like no other. The fabric is so lustrous and with a hand-made texture. The colors are gorgeous, in beautiful combinations.
On top of that, the hand-tailoring of these garments makes them so beautifully detailed and fitted. Both of these dresses would have been custom-made for someone who was vacationing or living in Thailand or China.
And, of course, in classic styles that are as wearable now as they were in the 1960’s . . . .

Although the basic style of this dress is unremarkable, it is so unique! 100% lined silk in a beautiful paisley print. And, very well-tailored.
Cool and breezy, yet quite sophisticated. This is not a run-of-the-mill item.
I’ve never seen another like it.
Aside from its vintage, it doesn’t leave many clues. But, of course I love a mystery . . . . .

Examples from the decade, preserved and displayed beautifully. Stilettos and little strappy things. Cute, chic and sexy. In alligator, suede, satin, patent leather – such a fabulous collection!
These are mostly dressier styles on this side of the display case. You can catch a glimpse of some more everyday heels on the other side.
