Havren-Modern clothes with a vintage feel

Hi Everyone! I wanted to dedicate this post to a lovely British Fashion company that reached out to me recently to introduce me to their line of clothing they thought I would like (and I do!). Now I would like to share them with you 🙂

Let us meet...HAVREN clothing with a contemporary take on feminine dressing

Here are my favorite picks:

This Leopard-print silk-blend dress is so fantastic. I just love the pattern with the bows on the front. The website features it with a cardigan which would be perfect right now for the cold weather Toronto is having (and for the office).

This is from their Autumn/Winter collection that was influenced by the season’s trends that feature feminine silhouettes inspired by the soft, feminine 1940s tea dresses and clean, bold 1960s shifts.

The below cropped cashmere cardigan (ahhh cashmere), is gorgeous! I love the colour so very much and I can see it already paired over top of some of my cute 50s dresses I own. Plus did I mention it’s Cashmere?? 🙂

As a fan of 1940’s styling the below peplum stretch-jersey dress would be a good add-on in my wardrobe. Plus the stretch would guarantee all day comfort.

I saw this Bow Belt Jumper and instantly fell in love. It reminds me very much of the 1940s sweaters I drool over on Etsy but can never own. It would look lovely with a pencil skirt, full skirt, pants etc. etc.

I truly believe that a vintage staple in every ladies wardrobe should be a “beaded cardigan”. I own a couple already but this modern version by Havren is truly darling and once again it’s a Cashmere/cotton blend.

Their website also has their Spring 2014 lineup and here are some of my favorites from that collection

When I saw this afternoon flower tea dress I instantly thought of the 1940’s vintage dress I have in my closet with a very similar floral pattern. Beautiful dress that is perfect for Spring.

Love 1950s styling? Then this blossom-printed cotton dress would be a perfect add-on to your collection.

There are many more dresses on their website but just as I was about to move onto their skirt section, I saw this gorgeous piece. The bows on the shoulders are awesome!

New Vintage Blog Venture

(2023 Update-SEE MY NEW ABOUT ME PAGE & WHAT THE VINTAGE INN BLOG IS ALL ABOUT TODAY)

Hi Everyone! This blog is a new venture for me because unlike my blog in the past which focused on my crazy dating life (which is non-existent now that I’m married lol) this one is about my passion for all things Vintage from 1920’s-60’s with a focus on my love of Lindy Hop and Rockabilly.

I currently live in Toronto and I Lindy Hop regularly and when I go out I try to always dress up and look the part of someone from the 1940’s or 1950’s. Even during the day I have found myself dressing more in the vintage look than jeans and t-shirts. I’m just feel more like “me” when I wear vintage (or reproduction) clothing then I do in normal street wear.

So with that said, when I’m dancing I always get asked about “where I got that?”, or “how did you do your hair?” etc. so I felt that starting a blog would be the best way to give you MY take (and my guest bloggers take as well, that I will have time to time) of everything you need or want to know about living the vintage life with a Toronto Lindy Hopper twist (aka some Cdn content lol).

Lastly, I decided to call my blog “The Vintage Inn” because I really feel that it expresses exactly what I’m trying to do with this blog… “A place where all things Vintage live”, a “Catch all” you could say. Clothing posts, hair & makeup posts, online shopping tips, where to vintage shop in Toronto, etc.

So stay tuned for my next official post.

I will leave you with a pic of yours truly “Liz”. .
