I’m BACK from Frankie 100 in NYC! It was one of the best Lindy Hop weekends I have ever experienced and I think I will be basking in the glow of the weekend for quite a long time 🙂
While at Frankie 100 I had the honour of being able to help Stage-Manage AND be in the Vintage Fashion Show.
It was a really well done show with fashions from the 1920s-1940s and also included were some wonderful reproduction designer outfits. Please enjoy and I’m near the end in the “Savoy” section wearing my 1940s fuchsia vintage gown (see below-Photo Courtesy of Colibri).
I just LOVE that I look like Ginger Rogers here!

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.
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!
Now a little something for my readers. Havren has supplied the Vintage Inn with a special 10% off discount just for my followers. How lovely!
Just use this code, VINTAG3 when you check out.
They are also having a Cashmere sale, so you can now take home (with your discount)…..
