Charmed by Charmaine, La Flaneuse

This past month or so I have had the pleasure of becoming friends with La Flaneuse Charmaine. Imagine my elation when she recently agreed to serve as a shop model for me. Here are some of the results of our photographic and vintage fashion collaboration.  Links to items featured are below the photos.

Fashion Family Tree, Part One

Lauren of Dear Golden has done some fun blog posts before in which she notes "family" resemblances between frocks in her shop.  Along those same lines, last night, it occurred to me that a 1930s dress I just listed looks like a long lost forebearer of a 1950s dress that has been listed for a while.  What do you think?
