Vintage Cheap, But Chic: Is That Velvet?

In this economy, it's harder than ever to look your best. There are pieces to splurge on but the fact is that most of us will look to vintage as a way to get a unique look for less. I'll be posting vintage finds for $20 and under. Every week you'll be treated to unique fashion finds for just a Jackson or less.

This week I'm into velvet:

Is That Velvet?


1. Vintage 70s Plum Purple Floral Quilted Velvet Purse Handbag from iKonic Vintage - $20 (Plus, 10% of that will be donated to cancer research through the end of October for THINK PINK!)
2. Natty 50s Vintage Black Striped Jacket-Great Details!-L from denisebrain - $14 (eBay current bid)
3. CHIC VINTAGE 60s GREEN FAILLE JACKET VELVET COLLAR S from thespectrum - $20
4. Vintage 60s Black Velvet Steampunk Hat wth Wide Bow from bontonvintage - $16.50

Sewing, Vintage Style



If you are having a hard time finding the vintage clothes you want, or if you are hard to fit, or if you just are afraid to wear your great vintage clothing because you are afraid of ruining it, a good solution to that problem might just be to make your own "vintage" clothing using vintage patterns. There are dozens of great vintage pattern sellers on the web, and etsy and ebay are also good sources of them. And to increase the fun, use vintage fabrics to get a very authentic look. You can start your search for the perfect vintage pattern at my webstore, Fuzzylizzie Vintage Patterns.

To see the dress I made from the great 1970s pattern above, and to read about the designer, Clovis Ruffin, visit my blog, The Vintage Traveler.

Absinthe Garden - Goth Art Exhibit

Good Day, Boys and Girls. I know its been a long time since my last update. As usual I have not been having much time to upload my works and rant about issues.

First of I would like to say, I got my Photographic Artworks displayed in an art exhibition in DXO, Singapore. Special thanks to the Lique Vanique of Singapore Dark Alternative Movement ( http://www.sdam.sg/ ) who made it possible.

It was a Goth Art Exhibit, called Absinthe Garden and speaking of which, how can I not have Absinthe before heading down to the exhibition ?!




Lovely Isn't it?



Mumzie, a latest addition to the crew, prepares the Absinthe, Ritualistically.



Hmmmm...Enjoy the moments



Loaded up on Absinthe and here we Go !!




Mumzie, Lique Vanique and Myself



....Boo !!....



Photography By Sushikin - That is why she is not in the pictures. :P

These are the 3 Photographic Artworks that was on Display for Absinthe Garden on October 16th 2009 @ DXO
