Ebay Weekender
It's soon time to bare the legs. A wonderful selection of vintage skirts awaits. We are too young to remember, but there was once a time when baring any part of a leg was considered scandalous!

Now For Something Different....
I thought I would try a little something different. In the vein of an auction, every Monday I will offer an item from my store and allow everyone to bid on it. Similar to a silent auction or ebay, the item will be listed with full description and the highest bidder at the end of 6 days will be the winner. All items will have a starting bid, some may have a reserve price. This is an experiment, one I hope will work!
Let your friends know!
Send your bids to bids@somelikeitvintage.com.
Starting bid: $5.99USD
Current bid: $40.00
Shipping cost: $5.00 to Canada & USA. $9 everywhere else.

Happy Birthday Canada!
It's July 1st, and here in Canada we are celebrating Canada Day. This is Canada's national day and a statutory holiday where we celebrate the anniversary of July 1, 1867. On that day, Canada was united as a single country, that contained only 4 provinces at the time. We now have 10 provinces and 3 territories and there are celebrations across the nation today. One of the greatest countries in the world, HAPPY BIRTHDAY CANADA!
Let's celebrate with ebay red!

Classic Black & White
My favorite color combination is black and white. Some argue that these are not official 'colors'. True, they are not on the color wheel...but there is something so eye catching with a great outfit in black & white. Striking. Classic. Strong.

ADRIAN: Letty Lynton & Joan Crawford
I've always been fascinated by the stir this dress caused in 1932. Designed by Adrian and worn by Joan Crawford in the movie Letty Lynton, it is a wide shouldered, white organdy dress with ruffled sleeves, extended shoulders and nipped in at the waist. It was so popular that Macy's department store in New York sold over half a million copies of this dress. 2009 marks the 50th anniversary of Mr. Adrian Adolph Greenburg's death.
There have been many re-incarnations of this dress, usually worn by a movie starlett in a period piece warbling under a peach tree. But none I feel can wear it as Ms. Crawford. In this movie still she is crying on a ship as Silent Night plays because there are no messages for her for Christmas. The white dress in the moonlight against the art deco background of the ship is breathtaking - and could only be accomplished in black and white.
I have always wanted to see this movie and could never find it. Just recently I learned that Letty Lynton is not available for sale or broadcast due to legal entanglements that have lasted for decades. Apparently the movie infringed upon the play Dishonored Lady.
Designer Edith Head called this dress, "the single most important influence on fashion in film history". Some of Adrian's most stunning creations are in this film and I hope to be able to see it one day.

Winter? What Winter?!
I think I'm in complete denial now. In order to make it through another 2 months (8 weeks, 60 days, 1440 hours, 86 400 minutes...you get the idea) of winter, I must imagine Spring is here...NOW.
Here is some inspiration found on ebay.
