The little red coat

New to the shop, toddler girls Rothschild red swing military pea coat...oh so cute.I spotted this coat a couple of  years ago on an antique hunt,not expecting to purchase kids apparel,because I have no kids. I guess I fell in love with this coat due to price and cuteness.I have no nieces and my nephews couldn't use it,so why not add it to the shop.I had it for sale last Christmas,but added it to the shop a little too late,Christmas was almost here. I think shoppers got an early start that year,so this year I'm putting it in the shop early...September.

I love this Rothschild coat ,it's one of  Rothschilds signature styles...velvet collar,princess cut and wool. The Rothschilds brand is the most sought out brand for kids coats and outerwear in the United States. If the little red coat sales,it's great to know that a fashionable little tot will be wearing this on Christmas day.

Clog lovin....


Tonight I decided to add a few items to shop My Favorite Pieces. My fave item in the shop are the Born brown leather clogs. I decided I needed to find a good home for them,because I have never worn them.I have so many pairs of shoes right now,so why hold onto something you will never wear.Clogs were really hot this spring/summer, but will carry you into fall.I've spotted so many styles of clogs,so If  you're into heels, flats, boots, or open toes there will be a clog just right for you.I prefer the high heel styles,because I'm really short.

Trend Report..Camel





If you buy a coat this season make sure it's a camel coat There will be an array of styles this winter from princess cuts, military, double breasted straight cuts, belted styles and capes.This classic timeless staple is making a comeback again, so shop your closet for a camel coat. Lately I've been on the hunt for vintage camel coats for shop My Favorite Pieces. I found a gorgeous vintage camel coat last year, hope I can find a home for it this fall.
 The one thing I like about the color camel is it's versatility, it works well with anything. I love wearing my camel coat accessorized with reds and leopard prints.I pulled together the red and camel combo above,classic with a touch of vintage.The cat glasses and bracelet are both vintage pieces.I really love the red Mulberry handbag, which would be a splurge for me. I'm sure I'll find a similar steal on my thrifty shopping spree instead.

Vanessa Hudgens belted style




My belted style picks
Here are a few of my fave belted styles for this summer. The Limited extra wide black leather cinch belt, Gap extra wide leather/ canvas cinch belt, and The Limited O ring boho hippie belt.You can achieve similar looks like Vanessa Hudgens with any of these top picks. Pair a brown belt over a blousy top, with flat sandals for a hippie boho feel. If you love bright bold colors, you can tone them down with a black belt. Floral prints and prints work best  with bohemian style belts, like the O ring. Kylie Minogue pairs a bohemian belt with long flowy maxi print dress.

Cinch IT, Vintage Cinch Belts


Cinch belts are here to stay. A cinch belt is the perfect accessory to accentuate your curves.Women in the past have always desired that tiny waistline. One way they achieved it is with the use of corsets, very popular in the 1900's,but have been around since the 16th and 17th centuries.



 Another way women could accentuate their waist was with a cinch belt.Cinch belts became a popular trend in the 80's and early 90's. Now this style of belt has made its way back in style today , and here to stay. There's an array of cinch belt styles today to choose from.There are stretchy, leather and woven cinch belts available , so take your pick. If a cinch belt isn't your style, just try one on , you will be amazed of how sexy they make you feel.


Here are some of my favorite vintage cinch belt picks.These lovely belts will be in the shop this weekend.I  have a few estate sales to attend this weekend.I hope to find many more unique one of a kind belts to add to the shop. I love collecting belts, but handbags I can't live without.
