1950s Cruisin'
The cruise ship company, Crystal Cruises has put together a 1950s themed cruise. Aptly named 'Style Cruise', you can sail the Mediterranean for 12 days dressed in vintage and learning about fashion history.
Stylist and costume designer Anna Wycoff and designer Gayle Davis will present a colorful look at the evolution of European fashion and cinema costuming, offering advice on personal styles....so you can perfect your vintage look!
The cruise will have a fashion show, seminars, and afternoon tea specifically in the 1950s theme.
This is a vintage fashionista's dream! I've never been on a cruise, but when I'm ready to sail I will be looking for something like this one.
Let's get dressed for cruisin'...wouldn't this be fun!

Vintage Esther
Remember Esther Williams? The queen of MGM pool parties? Well, since summer has arrived that means bathing suit season is also here. There has been a noticeable turn back to Esther style swimsuits - more fabric and more covered. If you are looking for a string bikini, you won't find it here! Again, it's a call to buying a more classic and subtle piece for your summer wardrobe. Something that will last a few years and adjust to possible weight changes. What woman doesn't love that?
I love these swimsuits. They are classic styles and I think incredibly sexy, fitting a variety of body types. A very athletic look I think. Esther was an incredibly fit woman in her day and those suits made her look like a triathlete. She did not need any 'sports performance enhancers'.
Now I just need to find a vintage bathing cap and I'm ready for the next pool party.
