VPOD: Vintage Vicky Tiel Cocktail Dress



By now you must know that yellow is THE color of the season. Fashion runways all over New York and Europe showed clothing and accessories in every shade from dandelion to canary, sunflower to goldenrod. And while Reese Witherspoon and Cate Blanchett have rocked stunning yellow dresses on the red carpet, most women I know still believe that yellow doesn’t look good on them. Au contraire! Anyone can wear any color, it’s just about picking the right shade to flatter your hair and skin tone.

And today’s VPOD is the perfect yellow for someone! This magnificent vintage dress by Vicky Tiel drapes just so in all the right places and incorporates all the characteristics that Vicky Tiel requires in her designs: glamorous, sexy, powerful and feminine–all at the same time!

It’s a bombshell find for a vintage fashionista!

Available at Vicky Tiel.

VPOD: Vintage 1980s Vicky Tiel Cocktail Dresses



This past December marked the 35th anniversary of the Endangered Species Act which makes it illegal to purchase items made from endangered species. In some states, like California, this law is even extended to include vintage pieces. So what’s a vintage fashionista to do?

First, go to the Fish and Wildlife Service website and your own state’s Fish and Game site and get educated. When you buy items fashioned from endangered species, you contribute to the demand for these products, you help support the market that is killing the endangered animals, and you could find yourself the subject of severe penalties. Alas, ignorance of this law is no excuse. And since federal agents regularly peruse eBay, websites, and flea markets for violators–both sellers AND buyers–it pays to be informed.

Second, console yourself by purchasing something perfectly legal like today’s VPOD. This 1980s leopard print chiffon dress by Vicky Tiel didn’t harm one hair on a leopard’s skin and still packs a punch.

It’s a beautiful (and legal) leopard find for a vintage fashionista.

Available at Vintage Couture.
