I wasted a whole lot of time on this doll blog, so that you don’t have to! Check out these retro doll fashions, can you believe it? The downside is, you can’t buy any of these outfits… you know, unless you’re 6″ tall. I’d wear all of these outfits! If anyone out there is a wizz with a sewing machine and wants to recreate one of these for me, just let me know!!

Shutter Island
I am not quite sure if Martin Scorcese’s Shutter Island, starring Ben Kingsley and Leonardo DiCaprio, looks like a blockbuster, but the wardrobe looks promising!

John Galliano has quite the imagination. His recent show for Paris Fashion Week dawned finger waves, corsets and some breathtaking suits.

Sale at Agent Provocatuer
Modern outfits with a vintage and costume twist!
This gorgeous Marine Body suit is 62% off at Agent Provocatuer at the moment. Someone should get it!!!
Here’s another one I had my eye on for a bit:
This one is 77% off it’s original price. What a steal!!!
If you’re still not convinced that you should go and check out what’s on sale, there are bras and panties, swimsuits, pasties and other fun accessories. Let us know what you buy!
Got a pair of colored Keds? There was a rainbow of Keds on display at this year’s Lonestar Championships in Austin, Texas (which, by the way, is a fab dance-hard weekend!)
You can get pretty much any color these days, or you can custom design your Keds at Zazzle.com. Cheap, cheerful, a good jack-of-all-trades dance sole (not too sticky, not too slick). Hmm, when I think of colored Keds I think of uber-cute Jeremy Otth from LA (left), or of Alain & Marie at last year’s ILHC, rockin’ out those matching yellow Keds (right)…

Who wears the pants?
You know how you randomly set aside images of looks you like, and after a while start to see a pattern emerging? I love this look, but sorry I can’t tell you where I got any of these images. They are just part of the dusty annals that is my random image collection, sitting in a folder on my desktop. Just noticed the pattern and thought I’d post it up! Leave a comment if you recognise any of the brands.

Simple, elegant, love it!
Grey dress, red Remix shoes, red flower in the hair, love it Miss Ali Connell! Photos snapped of Ali dancing at Lindy Focus January 2010, in Asheville, North Carolina, by photographer Colin Butler. Look at that dress swirl too, swoon!

Vogue Germany February 2010
These luminous images are from editorial “Rückkehr nach Metropolis” in latest addition of Vogue Germany. I think Toni Gerrn (the female model) is breathtakingly gorgeous, but the male model is so so. More importantly though, check out the clothing, hair accoutrement, and jewelry!

A glimpse at the Spring 2008 L.A.M.B. ready-to-wear collection…
From Moschino’s Cheap & Chic line, ready-to-wear collection for Spring 2010. Cute little jumpers and playsuits, ruffles and polka dots, bows and belted waists, high-waisted bikinis, gingham and plenty of striking black & white.

Often times when I’ve gone thrift store shopping, I can’t help but notice the particular smell that “old” clothing when I walk into the shop. It hasn’t stopped my from buying a piece I adore, but that funk is a tad off-putting. Has this happened to you?
As I was browsing through my RSS last week, I came upon this little gem from Valet Magazine. In their 31 Days of Tips & Tricks, tip no. 10 talked about how to get “the fix for that vintage funk” and it’s rather simple. According to Janie Bryant, the costume designer for the hit TV series Mad Men, “All you have to do is mix one part vodka with two parts water in a spray bottle.” The article doesn’t say you have to spray it on the clothes, but just to be clear, you will need to. Just mixing two liquids together doesn’t clean clothes, but it can make a nice drink.

And there you have it! Simple and easy.
Have you found anything else that works better?
