Stars of "The Artist" welcome you

Well, what did you all think about this year's Academy Awards?  I personally loved the return of Billy Crystal.  As usual, there were plenty of gorgeous gowns to admire.  The beauty of the vintage venue was the perfect backdrop for this event:

With 6 of the 9 nominated films set in the past, it's no wonder that vintage inspirations were everywhere.  I loved the 1930's era candy girls who went down the aisles handing out popcorn to the audience members.  Sigh...another Oscars come and gone. I'm already looking forward to next year.

Suze, Where Do You Get Your Jackets?

Jackets. Jackets. Jackets. Some days I feel like Suze Orman and all her jackets. Known for her extensive collection of blazers, she has had some great ones over the years, and some not so great ones. There was even an SNL skit poking fun at Suze's outwear.

I too love jackets, preferring the well tailored, and proper fitted ones to the boyfriend blazer style (that I wore in the 80s in high school!).

Well Suze, you should be buying vintage! Today's find is a stunning vintage Gianni Versace red leather jacket with cream satin lining. Tailored with just enough slouch to wear with jeans. A piece unto its own, very little else is needed. Perfect Versace. Now available at Rice and Beans Vintage.
