Vintage Me Mine
January 12th, 2010
Currently cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs over this dreamy confection. It’s from the 60s, made from silk, and the make is Teal Traina, according to the gals at Xtabay Vintage Clothing Boutique. Isn’t it gorge? I imagine it for a city hall affair or for a dance-heavy after party, post-reception. The rose! The sleeves! The forgiving cut! I want it, like, now. How hot would this be with some fishnets, some teal pumps, a fur stole and a birdcage veil and Audrey Hepburn-like gloves a la Sabrina? Chills.
Or how about this, a vintage gown from the 30s:
Right? Right? The blue sash? So good.
They both live at Xtabay Vintage Clothing Boutique in Portland. Telling you, that town’s got it goin’ on! Definitely on my must-visit list. And this boutique would be one of the first stops!

Genevieve, do you know that Portland is basically my hometown? I’m here to tell you, it does have it going on. If you can visit there, please do, I dearly love it and I’m sure you will too.
