Hi Gals!

Did everyone have a nice Easter?  I did – spent it with the fam, the weather turned out to be beautiful – a tad windy for my skirt but it happens!  Did everyone out here on the left coast feel the quake?!  Wow!  We were at a family home that had a pool and you would have thought there was a wave machine installed!  My goodness!

So – the lovely young lady across from me in my building just got asked to Prom, she is so excited.  It’s her first big dance and she is going with her friends to shop for the perfect dress.  She told me she wanted something “Vintage” so of course I perked up and thought of all the places I could tell her to pop into and all the 1928 collector pieces I could lend her and do you know what she said NEXT?!  “Um, you know – from the ‘80’s!”

After I calmly picked myself off the floor and settled myself back on the chair, I proceeded to explain that Vintage, my darling young first-time Prom attendee is NOT the ‘80’s!  Vintage harkens back to a pure and lovely time.  Where women were WOMEN, where they wore ivory, eggshell, ecru, off-white (yes – these are all DIFFERENT colors).  Where jewelry was both delicate and ginormous.  Intricate and simple.  Architecturally fabulous.  NOT electrified by Neon and WHAM! 

I shared some beautiful tear sheets with her of Vintage Chanel, YSL, Armani and Oleg Cassini and then we looked at some beautiful 1928 pieces she could purchase such as the 1928 Boise de Boulogne Etched Rose Earrings with the 1928 Bois de Boulogne Etched Rose Necklace or the 1928 Champagne Essence Topaz & Copper Chandelier Earrings with the Sahara Copper and Topaz Bracelet.  Yummy!

Now – for you Neon Pretty, Pretty Princesses out there – here are some delish statement rings from 1928 just for you!  The Silver and Teal Blue Flower Ring, the Pretty in Pink Floral Bouquet ring and the Peachy Keen Flower Statement ring.  Something for everyone!

Enjoy the Prom guys and gals – you’re only young ONCE!  Sigh, I’m remembering mine, all four…

Ciao for now!
