VPOD: Vintage 1950s Silk Cocktail Dress

Over 100 million American tuned in to the watch the Super Bowl yesterday but I wasn’t one of them.

That means I not only missed all the athletic action on the field and all the high-priced commercials but also the much-talked-about National Anthem performance by Christina Aguilera.

And while I didn’t have any bets riding on either of the teams and wasn’t rooting for either team to win, I do have a clear favorite when it comes to the team colors.

Give me a choice between the green and gold of the Packers or the black and gold of the Steelers and, at least in the moment, I’m leaning toward the green and gold combo.

Take today’s VPOD for instance. This vintage 1950s silk cocktail dress from Saks Fifth Avenue is oh-so-pretty and adding a little gold bling would just make it shine even brighter.

It’s a fashion touchdown for a vintage fashionista!

Available at Dandelion Daydreamer.

VPOD: Vintage 1950s Taxco Sterling Fish Pendant Necklace

Today is Chinese New Year and rings in the Year of the Rabbit. And one of the ways that this major holiday is celebrated revolves around food.

For instance, in China it is traditional to serve a whole fish at the end of the today’s evening meal. Note that it’s a whole fish that is served, with the head and tail intact. This fish symbolizes abundance for the coming year, with a good beginning (the head) and a good ending (the tail).

Of course, as a vegetarian, I won’t be dining on fish today although I must say I like the symbolism in this tradition and wouldn’t be averse to a little abundance heading my way. So enter today’s VPOD.

This vintage 1950s Taxco sterling fish pendant is my vegetarian (and eco-friendly) alternative to eating fish.

It’s a stylish way to ring in the Chinese New Year for a vintage fashionista.

Available at California Dreamin Retro Modern ETC.

VPOD: Handcrafted Tote Bag from Vintage Ethnic Fabric

Last week, the city of Santa Monica boldly (and unanimously!) prohibited the distribution of single-use bags within its retail establishments. So now it’s more important than ever for shoppers to remember to BRING THEIR BAG!

And if you think that might be an inconvenience, consider the following:

** The average single use bag is used only 12 minutes before it begins its journey to a landfill or worse, becomes litter.

**19 billion single-use bags are used annually in California. (Billion, not million!)

**Less than 5% of plastic bags are recycled.

And while I’m sure we’ll soon see a plethora of reusable bag choices neatly hung near checkout counters, a more eco-friendly choice is available with today’s VPOD.

This handcrafted ethnic tote bag is made from a vintage Hmong baby carrier and will carry all your shopping goodies in style.

It’s a stylish alternative to a plastic bag for a vintage fashionista.

Available at iampAnn. | Discovered at TheFind.com.
