*Fresh Vintage* August 4 - 10

We're back with a look at some of the highlights of last week's Fresh Vintage, the weekly VFG Forum thread where you can get an early look at the latest listings from VFG's trade members.

I'll start you off with some fierce vintage, the famous Scandal Swimsuit from Cole California, designed by Margit Fellegi in 1964. This is newly available at Glamoursurf

You can find these vibrant and playful embellished pumps at Miss Martys

And The Spectrum has listed several fabulous full circle embellished Mexican skirts, including this black velvet one.

Fresh Vintage July 21 to August 3

This is a two week edition of **Fresh Vintage**, the weekly VFG forum "Sneak Preview" thread where vintage fashion lovers gather to enjoy a look at the latest offerings from a variety of VFG's trade members.

Let's start with a fabulous 40s Lilly Dache assymetrical fedora, offered by Alley Cats

Vintage Baubles recently listed this cute 60s mod dress by Toni Todd

If you're after a 40s pinup look, you'll want to check out this red hot 1940s swimsuit, available from Miss Proper

Boncly listed this fabulous pin and earrings set by Matisse less than two weeks ago and a savvy buyer has already snapped them up - it clearly pays to drop by the Fresh thread as it's ongoing every week! Ah well, we cam still admire them here.

When brides start their search for a vintage wedding gown, a dress like this is often their Holy Grail: 1950s, strapless, petal bust, dramatic ballgown skirt.  It exists and it was recently listed at Mags Rags

And I'm going to close this post with another amazing 40s fedora, this one by Borsalino and listed at Rue de la Paix

That's all for today, here on the blog at least. If you'd like to get a head start on next week's post, come on over the the VFG forum to check out all the new goodies in this week's thread.

November 22nd Fashion Parade *Get the Look: Cher"

Nov 22 Get the Look: Cher
One name, and we all know exactly who she is. Singer-songwriter, actor, director and record producer, Cher has won an Academy Award, a Grammy Award, an Emmy Award, three Golden Globe Awards and a People's Choice Award for her work in music, film and television.

Ever since her singing debut in the mid sixties, Cher has been a fashion icon. With her dark, exotic beauty, she has exhilarated generations with her style. From 60s hippie to the flamboyance for which she is best known, it is hard to pin Cher's look down. Trendsetting? Over the top? How about simply dazzling.

See what Cher-worthy dazzle the members of the VFG have in store.Can't get enough Cher? See her on the big screen in Burlesque, opening this week!
