Wow! A 90-piece collection of vintage Braniff uniforms, shoes, luggage and accessories designed by none other than Pucci, Halson and Narducci of Dallas is now available on eBay.
The collection was amassed by a former Braniff flight attendant who flew for over 20 years. And I guess if you or I had to wear a uniform designed by Pucci or Halston, we might actually tuck it…
I find lots of women think vintage clothing is all about flapper dresses, Mad Men-style clothing and dazzling evening gowns that celebrities model on the Red Carpet. But because modern clothing takes its inspiration from the fashions of decades gone by, vintage clothing is also about pieces that could easily play hide-and-seek and hold their own against the merchandise displayed at mainstream shopping stores like…
My sister is visiting this week and yesterday we ventured to the Getty Center where we marveled at the artistry and workmanship of the 18th century pieces in the Decorative Arts collection.
Perhaps that’s why this morning I felt so drawn to today’s VPOD, which also displays amazing craftsmanship.

Vintage scarves are one of the great pleasures in life, don’t you think?
They come in every shape, color and size and you can find one to fit any budget. Whether you choose to tie one around you neck, wrap one around your head, tuck one into a pocket or attach one to your purse, they’re a great way to add color and style to any…
I took a fantastic Chakra Balancing class last night at Liberation Yoga with Constance Hart. Constance is an internationally-recognized, certified color therapist and a visionary in the field of color energy balancing.
According to Constance, each color has its own energetic expression and affects each chakra in a unique way. For instance, your sacral chakra starts below your navel and governs your low belly, hips and lower…
So many people complain that there aren’t enough hours in a day and use that as an excuse for why they aren’t doing their part to green the planet. But it doesn’t take an hour a day to be green, it can take as little as 30 seconds. That’s right—just 30 seconds!
Greenwala recently shared 10 Ways to Go Green in 30 Seconds or Less that included…
If you’re ever not sure what color to wear, you might want to choose them all by wearing…white!
According to the Additive Color Theory, the color white is really the sum of all colors. That’s why sunlight, a form of white light, can bend under certain atmospheric conditions and produce a rainbow that displays all of the different colors “hidden” inside.

About a decade ago, I remember being at a formal event in NYC and walking into the powder room where a woman took me by the arm and whispered, “Your dress is the talk of the evening.” I hoped, of course, that she meant it as a compliment, but considering I was wearing an outrageously colorful peacock print maxi I wasn’t so sure.

Each month I look forward to one of my favorite editorial features: Harper’s Bazaar magazine’s Fabulous at Any Age. The editors really do a fabulous job of highlighting key trends and separating key pieces appropriate for women in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, and yes, even 70s+!
And while you could argue that there is definite room for crossover among their selections, I believe that…
This month we shine the Vintage Crusader SPOTLIGHT on Nora Jane Struthers, an incredibly gifted entertainer and a self-proclaimed vintage fashionista!
