What great images! I have a soft spot for the fashion of that era. My grandmother used to have the most amazing hats from the 50s and 60s that she had held on to (with a pair of matching gloves and handbags for each.) And when I was really really good she let me play dress up with them.

Style and beauty are ageless. What fun photos you found.

Your blog is one of my favorites and one of the first I look at each day.

Really I know some of your home pics have been circulating for a while but after I took the tour on Apartment Therapy I was reminded again how beautiful it is. I even had to look @ them twice today.

What ever happened to those high-necked sweaters? I had a few from the 50s, but the silver fish got to them. Why aren't these sweaters back in style. They are so flattering.
