The Charles A. Whitaker Auction Company is auctioning off almost 500 clothing items that were collected by Tasha Tudor.
Tasha Tudor, beloved author and illustrator, amassed an expansive
collection of clothing from the mid 18th to the mid 19th century. The
focus of her collection were cotton dresses from the 1830s.
The items up for auction will be on display at the auction house on Saturday November
10th, 2007 And the auction will be held the following day Sunday
November 11th, 2007.
Below I have found some beautiful antique fabrics. Though they are not as old as what Tasha Tudor collected they are still wonderful!
Jennifer over at PETA emailed me the other day about a shoe give away she thought my readers would be interested in...
If you head over to PETA's website and read their interview with Alison Goldfrapp you can enter to win a pair of shoes just like the ones Allison wore on the cover of Goldfrapp's album Black Cherry.
The shoes are the utmost in glamour and sexiness!
The shoes are from Beyond Skin whose incredibly cute, stylish and sometimes vintage inspired designs are also favored by Natalie Portman.
I love these mod 1960's Joseph Larose heels!
The shoes are made out of blue, green, pink and white suede divided by black leather.
These shoes would be a stylish addition to one's fall wardrobe.
You can purchase these size 9's for the reasonable price of $125- over at the Fashion Dig store Mid Century Chic

Kyoto Kimono has a wonderful selection of wedding, tea ceremony and everyday kimonos. As well as Haori and Michiyaki Jackets, Obi, bolts of fabric, bundles of kimonos and custom made kimonos.
Their prices seem really reasonable. And the bundles of fabric and kimonos would be great for making new clothing and purses out of.
If the recent movie Memoirs of a Geisha left you wanting more information about geisha history and lifestyle, then you need to check out the website Immortal Geisha.
This Saturday and Sunday (March 18 & 19) is the Triple Pier Antiques Show in New York.
There are going to be 500 dealers at this show. There are many booths with vintage clothing and accessories, textiles, jewelry etc...
This powder blue trench like coat would be cute to wear over a short fitted skirt. It is on sale for only $16- at Little Pink Dress.
Today as I was scanning the internet for something to write about, I came across this beautiful cream lace wedding dress over at Past Perfect Vintage Clothing. The dress is from the late 1930's. And is quite a bargain at $275! If you were able to find a similiar dress, which is highly unlikely, on a different website they would probably be selling it for four times this price. To find a dress of this era, in a reasonable size (36" Chest, 27" Waist and 44" Hips), with a floral wax tiara and in such great condition is a rarity!
Allyn Scura has a mind boggling selection of vintage eyewear. They sell antique, vintage and custom frames.
I compared their prices to those of a leading hip optical store in Portland and found that Allyn Scura frames are about a quarter of their price.
Something to remember when buying vintage frames on-line or anywhere for that matter, is that a lot of opticans don't want to deal with vintage frames because they are more fragile than new frames. So it is important to know of someone who has experince working with vintage frames. On Allyn Scura's website they have an "Optican Network Page" which lists opticans who are willing to work with vintage frames.
Allyn Scura participates in several shows a month in California and they will be coming to Oregon in July to the Palmer Wirf's Antique Show at the Portland Expo Center.
This amazing peacock patterned shoe and purse set is on sale over at Vintage Martini. They are having a blow-out sale, most items are 20-30% off.
