vintage

I don't see vintage as a new style. I just prefer wearing vintage in the fall. Where I live there's hardly any change of seasons. It's mostly summer. I live on a very tropical island. Very hot and hardly cold. An island called Bali. Bali is an Indonesian island located in the westernmost end of the Lesser Sunda Islands, lying between Java to the west and Lombok to the east.
There's many shops and stuff on the side of seminyak road. But usually there's traffic and when I go there to shop, there's hardly any parking spaces to park the car. Tourists are usually the ones shopping. Because like their hotels are really close by so all they do is like walk a few blocks.
I'm a huge fan of vintage clothes and such. I mean, I'll accept anything vintage for Christmas or my birthday.
It's so cool how it's 2010 and people wear outfits and clothes from the 1950s. I mean, I hope in 2020 people will still be wearing vintage. If it's not out of style.



 The Grace Kelly
I found out that Grace Kelly was an actress. She was an American actress. I saw photos of her on google and she was very pretty. She died at the age of 52, 14 September 1982. I found this at http://fashionart.onsugar.com/tag/vintag . 
This is from the Cabaret Collection, link http://www.cabaretvintage.com/ 
I don't really know why this photo was called "The Grace Kelly". Maybe because of the style??? 
Anyway, it's very simple and perfect for a bride who wants to dress vintage
Perfect because it's strapless. Completely white head to toe except for the golden necklace that is being worn. An updo hair would suit the most with this dress. I can imagine having the hair down. It depends. If your hair is very short, then it might suit the dress. A bronze bowed coloured heel gives the dress a kind of glow. It's probably another thing that stands out when you see the photo. I recommend using a bronze coloured heel instead of white. White makes the outfit very pale whilst bronze or gold really shows a beauty with the dress.

 


A necklace like this would probably nice to match the outifit. But if if you don't want anything heavy or to bazar then the one in the photo is preferable.






























These dresses don't seem very vintage but you can't create a sort of vintage look with these dresses.

With the black dress, just put on round shades. The ones with the round lenses. Black ones would be the best to put on because it matches the colour of the dress, but if you want the glasses to look very bold, the glasses on the left would be good too.


I went to google and also found some really good matching bags that would suit the glasses and the dress. But I'm only going to put up one of them. 
This bag is very cute and its not to bazar. You can take it to a park or while your shopping and no ones going to be like "What the heck??". It's perfect! Black is probably the best but if you think there are other colours that would do well then feel free to comment and tell me.




































Let's get a bit more exciting now. I went to Vogue.com an awesome collection. These are from the Oscar De La Renta Pre-Fall 2011 Collection. I find some of them very vintage whilst some other are just something I'd keep in my wardrobe. 

1. I really like this one. When I see this umm.. outifit (?) it makes me think of business wear. The large ppink bow really stands out amongst the black and white speck material. I think below the jacket, is like a black shirt or probably a blouse. A blouse would probably be the best underneath the jacket.

2. This caught my eye from the minute I saw it. It's gorgeous and it pretty much shows my personality. I mean, I'm usually not the kind of girl who would wear a pretty strapless dress to a winter formal or prom. For prom, I'd probably wear this with a pair of '60s patent shoes and the round shades I showed earlier. But black ones. For winter I'd probably wear the dress with a furry black jacket like the one you see below.


3. A red cocktail dress : I've always wanted a dress like that. I've been searching but I never find it. It's so pretty and I must say, this has to go into my wardrobe. It just has to. And the belt? Gor-geous. 

4. Okay. This is like my style. It's not vintage. I just wanted to post it up. I mean, this outfit with boots? or even ankle boots? WOWWWW!! 

Ok. This is all I have to show. I hope you like this blog entry/post.

Chanel Iman

Chanel Iman is like one of my favourite models. She's awesome. I don't know why she's my most favourite. It's probably because when I saw her on TV. And she's like verrrryyy pretty. I don't know much about her. All I know is that she's best known for her work for Victoria's Secret.
Here's like a few pictures of her:





Proenza Schouler

"I loved how designers Jack and Lazaro brought back the '80s, but with a modern twist."

Marc Jacobs
"To walk for Marc Jacobs was a huge honor. His show was such a massive production that I was a little nervous. Marc is one of my favorite designers."













There's a few models I know. 
Tyra Banks
Chanel Iman
Kate Moss
I know right? I suck. I mean, I don't even know lots of designers.
I probably only know:
Alexander Mcqueen
Roberto Cavalli
Yep........ So I'm going to do everything it takes to become either a model, or a designer. I probably go for modelling but at the same time I would want to open my own line. Anyway.
