Belle's DearGoldenVintage Favorites

Jun 10, 2010

Over the past few months, I have become a bit of an Etsy.com addict.  And while navigating Etsy is a bit like walking down U Street at 1:00 AM on a Saturday morning–wading through the weird and creepy in search of a gem–you can find something wonderful if you are willing to search.  

One of the site’s best kept secrets is DearGoldenVintage.  This well-edited collection of vintage styles is filled with pretty, prim pieces that would add a touch of style and sweetness to any Capitol Hill wardrobe.  And unlike many vintage stores on the site, the prices won’t make your eyes bulge out of your head like a cartoon character.

 

Lemon Plisse Dress ($78)

Green Leaves Necklace ($18)

Sailcloth Coat ($88)

White Mademoiselle Chain Clutch ($25)

Mon Coeur Rouge Dress ($258)

I had to save the party dress for last.

    First, you need to know your measurements. I mean, really know them. Size is a ridiculous concept and it means nothing in vintage, so measurements not size.

    Also, ask if you can buy on approval. I always ask to buy something, try it on, and have the option to return it at my cost for shipping. This way, if it doesn’t fit, I can send it back. Most everyone is willing to deal if you ask.

    I must have that seller’s 50s polka dot dress. Seriously. It will be mine.

Beauty Review: Bondi Boost

As I age, I notice many changes in my body. Most are fine. Some are frustrating. Like many women, I lost a lot of hair in my postpartum phase. Being anemic for more than a year after, it didn’t grow back in to its former glory. So I’ve tried any number of shampoos, pills and […]

The Find: Shirts That Don’t Gape

I remember when Rochelle Behrens launched The Shirt — a button-down blouse with anti-gape technology (a patented internal button that keeps the look smooth). The idea seemed brilliant, but at the time, my bust didn’t require an extra button. One baby later, I understand the need for some extra security.
