*Fresh Vintage* May 5 - 18 2011

Time slipped away from this blogger, and we're covering two weeks worth of Fresh Vintage in today's post. Let's get started!

First up, check out this cute plaid wool jacket, new at TheMerchantsofVintage. It's very reminiscent of the famous Pendleton 49er jacket, but is by Bobbie Brooks

PastPerfect has recently listed an incredible array of garments from the 18th century, including this gorgeous embroidered men's waistcoat circa 1780s.

This sweet 60s minidress with lace edged dogear collar is available from GailDavid

Perfect for Spring, this floral print Kelly-style bag is new at Club Vintage

This fabulous late 1940s hat is one of a group of new hat listings at Poppy's Vintage

And what a wonderful pop of color these 1940s rayon gloves make! They were recently listed by Another Time Vintage Apparel



*Fresh Vintage* April 15 - 27, 2011

I'm doing a double edition of Fresh Vintage tonight, and have some fabulous things to show off, so let's get started!

First up, Denisebrain  recently offered a beautiful jacket by famed designer Irene (aka Irene Lentz).

JoulesVintage added these sweet blue cherry embroidered gloves to her Etsy shop and quickly sold them!

This gorgeous 1950s black lace and pink tulle strapless dress was also listed last week by Vintage Devotion and quickly sold.

This amazing 1950s/1960s Balenciaga haute couture hat is new at Rue de la Paix

This 50s lace cocktail dress is new at The Spectrum on eBay

And Alleycats, aka After Dark Vintage, just listed this Schiaparelli pillbox hat in her Artfire studio.

That's it for this week's Fresh Vintage. As you can see, sometimes vintage goodies go quickly, so consider dropping by the VFG forums to get 'em while they're hot!



Flickr Friday: It's a Bling Thing

The members of VFG have recently started a Flickr Pool just for our favorite photos and finds and each Friday I'll be posting some selections of eye candy from the pool to make you drool. ;)

Vintage Cheap, But Chic: Caramel

Welcome to my new feature Vintage Cheap, But Chic! I originally started this on my own blog but I'm moving it on over here so I can feature all the great VFG Sellers. ;)

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 rich caramel brown for Fall:



1. Caramel Kicks Vintage 80's Suede Pumps sz 9 from VintageinBohemia - $18
2. Vintage 1950s Long Soft Leather Formal Womens Gloves in Original Package Sz 6 from yosemitevintage - $19.95
3. 60's Resin Cameo Gold Tone Filigree Pin and Pendant Necklace from Morning Glorious Vintage and Collectibles - $19
4. Vintage womens Handbag tan brown envelope clutch purse leather 70s from aVenir Fashions - $15
