Check out these lady super heroes as 1940’s pinups by artist Ant Lucia! I love that pin-up look, but lately I feel like it’s been overdone and can get a little cheezy… I was really into pin-up stuff probably about 10 years, but I guess it is a timeless look. Anywho, check …

The housecoat is back! I’ve been wearing housecoats for years. It’s like a security blanket over my pajamas. And, yes, I’m one of those crazy ladies that picks up their child from school in a housecoat. The thing about the housecoat is that, you’re not sure if it’s a robe …

I’m loving these 1940s-1950s dress coats! So classic! So Mad Men! And the fur sleeves totally look like you’re smuggling two wrinkly dogs. I’m going to praise Muiccia for not hot glueing big ass ornaments and jewels for once this season. It was starting to look like a runway show for …

  I’m not sure if such existed- a 1940’s hippie, but in Anna Sui’s mind this is what they would’ve dressed like. I’m loving the peter pan collars and demure sleeves. I like that the socks and heels trend is still going strong. But the best part of this collection …

I stumbled upon this site by accident and it was totally meant to be!! I have been searching for vintage tea towels of Rhode Island for a couple years now. Martha Stewart had a whole article on it in her magazine. I scoured vintage stores and flea markets across the …
