Ladies Neck Tie Simplicity 5218 and Sonjia Williams on Project Runway

I absolutely love Project Runway and always tune in to see who gets told in a cute German accent, "You're out." I totally think Dmitry deserved to win this last round but loved Sonjia's personal style. I would feel like a Smurf with blue streaks in my hair but she makes it look fabulous. I loved the simple neck tie she had on one episode. I listed a Simplicity 5218 today with all these adorable neck accessories. There are so many cute items on Etsy with ladies neck wear. The vintage secretary style tops with the pussy cat bow necklines are great. I love the extra volume at the neck with a slim skirt or skinny jean.

Sonjia Has an Etsy Shop with No Neckties In It!

Ozon Hairspray....A Lulu of a Hat! Vintage Commercial

Ozon 1960s Commercial

Can you imagine someone sitting in front of you in a movie theater or for a play in today's times with that huge contraption of a hat on? She would get read the riot act in some places. These were more gentile times in many ways. Thanks for looking.

Vintage 1950s Jet Magazines Fashion and History Combined

I love the Jet Magazines from the 1950s. The articles are a great glimpse into the past, the fashion is delicious, and the vintage images of so many of the stars that are legendary now is amazing.
Some of the images are disturbing and sad commentaries about racial relations in the 1950s. This is also American history. The only way not to repeat mistakes is to know what the original offenses were. Do you agree?

Thanks for looking.

McCall's 2399 and 1960s Vogue Paris Originals

I am listing a bunch of patterns this week. I figure if I sell more patterns, my husband will stop calling me a pattern hoarder. I have some gorgeous patterns but it is hard to part with them....
