We had an antique store close recently and I "rescued" it, trying to find where it belongs. If anyone should recognize this lady, please let me know. Thank you.
I regret to say that I got some amazing vintage finds, but I won't have time to show you guys and photograph them for a couple weeks. However, I do want to give you some hints as to what I found, starting today with some amazing 1910s eye candy! (Hint.... 1910s.... I have something from the 1910s to show you...) I adore 1910s fashion. It's feminine and luxurious, and the details often worked in are unique. I also love the silhouette. Depending on the "fashion-forwardness" of the wearer, it was often slightly looser and more comfortable than earlier trends as fashion moved toward the 20s silhouette. However, many garments are still anchored at the natural waist, something I particularly prefer for myself. Also, I love big hats and big hair. Of which the 1910s had a lot. The 1910s seem to be all about luxury and drama! Don't you just adore the outfits of the women in the photos?! Incredible. So lush! And where can I get a robe like this?!?!

No doubt that several of these vintage hairstyles for women from the 1910s could be adapted for use today, and would look as elegantly stylish as ever. Take a look!

Edward Linley Sambourne, an Edwardian cartoonist for Punch and keen amateur photographer, left a legacy that accurately records 1906 womens fashion, but provokes very mixed feelings, for me at least. His archive of thousands of photographs of everyday women captured in candid shots on the streets, beaches and on public transport are amazing as…

Lily Elsie, 1910s. Her skirt is absolutely gorgeous.
To some the 1910's is considered the beginning of modern fashion. Hems above the ankle... soft and fluid lines... Orientalism... harem pants and turbans... kimonos... hobble skirts... corsets to support, not constrict... lampshade tunics... the beginning of Chanel. What crazy decade in fashion was this? The 1910's!

The teenager and the high school girl, from ages 12 to 20, was at a crossroads in life and fashion. No longer suitable wearing the knee length ruffled dresses she wore as a young girl, nor ready for the maturity of women's clothing, she found herself somewhere in between.

TGIFRIDAY FASHION FACT! Several of you have asked me to talk about the history of hobble skirts. It's not surprising, since it is such a controversial garment, even shocking to a modern eye. It see…
