Lots of shiny, red, gold and green things!

This week I’m talking about the dreaded C word. It is a word I can’t deal with (at all). The word? Christmas.

So why am I talking about CHRISTMAS when November hasn’t even hit yet? Partially because there is nothing worse than that awful disorganised feeling in those last few weeks running up to Christmas when you start to think to yourself, I’VE GOT NOTHING TO WEAR FOR CHRISTMAS.

That’s why my Christmas suitable listing are starting early, lots of glitzy frocks and Christmas suitable presents. Over the next couple of weeks there will be many glitzy handbags to come from my mum’s collection and mine.

View all of the current listings here

This little bag came from my collection. Needs a little bit of work on the Lucite to get it back to its absolute best, but a very sweet bag nonetheless. Bid for it here

This one is an original 50s deadstock handbag, it is in almost perfect condition, and has one of the best EVER clasps to it. Bid for it here.

This is one of the most superbly perfect wiggle dresses EVER. Made by John Selby from a deep red brocade. A definite mad-men esque number. Bid for it here.

This little jacket would be an excellent cover up with any vintage dress. I think this dates to the 30s. Made from amazing brocade fabric. Bid for it here.

This little dress is from the 80s but its design is pure 50s in style. Bid for it here.

If you are feeling supa dupa generous (and want to buy someone an extra special christmas pres bob) I also have two FAB-U-LOUS vintage 70s Louis Vuitton suitcases listed too. They have fabulous provenance which is detailed in the listings. Bid for the smaller one here, and the larger one here

Or, if you are like me and wear summer clothes all year round (chuck on a cardigan and tights and I’ll just wear the exact same clothes I was wearing in July). Bid for it here.

Glasses galore

Posted in Uncategorized by liztregenza

Buying glasses can be a tricky game to say the least. What frame shape suits your face is often the first problem! After many years traipsing round after my mother in various opticians I know this only too well.

The problem with opticians on the high street often tends to be the price. Last week mother dearest tried on one of THE nicest pairs of Tom Ford glasses I have seen in a long time. A larger version of the cats eye shape of glasses. But, the frames were priced at a whopping £225. A little bit of research on the internet found the same pair of glasses for just a fraction of the price from Smartbuyglassses. Here, the same pair of Tom ford glasses were just £141.95

These glasses are one of my undeniable favourites on the market at the moment. I just love the fact they have a little bit of a retro look to them, yet are very modern too. What is great is the way in which they cater to a number of different glasses styles (like your glasses thick? Check. Need glasses that are thick enough at the sides to conceal your lenses? Check. Like the cats eye shape? Check)

They come in a number of differentcolours. Black, Tortoiseshell and a two tone frame too.

After perusing a little longer on the site I cam across some more fabulous glasses this time from Prada.

I adore the different colours on the inside and outside of these Prada glasses.

Also come in lots of other colours!!!

And, even better if you are looking for some great sunglasses there is a wide selection on the site too. Especially if you are off on a nice little ski trip this winter!

This ace pair come from Bolle.

A lovely 60s lace dress

Posted in Uncategorized by liztregenza

Outfit post time! I haven’t done one of these in sooooo long, mostly because I couldn’t find anywhere to take relatively ok full length pics in my Grandparents house (where I’m living at the moment).

Last night when I went out I wore one of my all time favourite dresses. I’ve had this little black lace dress for about 4 and a half years. It was one of the first piece of really high quality vintage I ever purchased. The dress is by Ricci Michaels, a label I’ve never found out that much about but they did advertise in Vogue! I purchased this dress from Hope and Harlequin in Brighton. The dress was actually worn for the original owners engagement party in 1961!
