Holiday Gift Guide: The Vintage Enthusiast

Since the holidays are right around the corner, I wanted to put together a gift guide for people like me (and the many I know and love).  Here's lots of fun gift ideas, both vintage and vintage inspired, that's perfect for any budget!

The Vintage Studio

1. 50's Novelty Circle Skirt
2. 60's Floral Dress
3. 60's Leopard Print Coat
4. 80's Victor Costa Dress
5. 50's Fruit Print Skirt

The Vintage Studio has no shortage of vintage goodies from many different eras.  There's nothing like getting a one of a kind piece!  I'm quite enamored with the 50's section, I just wish I had about 50 more proms to attend so I could buy them all!

Geronimo Vintage

1. 60's Lanz Dress

2. 50's Sundress

3. 50's Mexican Full Circle Skirt

4. 50's Alix Of Miami Dress

5. Blue 50's Dress

Geronimo has no shortage of novelty prints, which means I'm in vintage heaven!  That tartan dress is calling my name, isn't it the perfect holiday dress?

Target

1. Two Door Accent Table

2. Tripod Floor Lamp

3. Rockwell Accent Chair

4. Safavieh Bedford Sunburst

5. Mid Century Modern Coffee Table

Not going to lie, this is basically my living room wish list.  Can you believe this is all from Target?!  I love the simplistic nature to vintage/vintage inspired furniture.  Less is always more (unless we're looking in my closet)!

Erstwilder

1. Deck The Halls Wreath Brooch

2. Ginger The Christmas Cookie Brooch

3. A Change In The Wind Brooch

4. Tis The Season Christmas Tree Brooch

5. Shake, Rattle and Roll Brooch

Erstwilder has their Christmas brooch game on point!  I love the gingerbread man (I wear him all the time) and I'm hoping to collect all their holiday inspired brooches so I can add them to my ever growing brooch board.

Pinup Girl Clothing

1. Jailbird Top In Black

2. Sparkle In The Sun Sunglasses

3. Veronica Dress

4. Proto Leather Pumps

5. Chevron Purse

The Veronica dress is now back in stock, which means it would be perfect for those upcoming holiday parties!  I'm also loving the solid color Jailbird tops, I'm trying my hardest not to purchase them all...

I have yet to finish Christmas shopping, but I know exactly what I need to get.  Have you finished?  What's still on your list?

Virtual Christmas Party

It's the most wonderful time of the year which means we have another Girl Squad Style post for you!  We wanted to do things a little fancier this time, so Sammi, Amanda, Katie, and I put on some of our favorite dresses and pinned on our cutest holiday brooches from Deer Arrow.  Since we can't be together during the holidays, we're getting dolled up like we would for a virtual Christmas party!

Black and Tan

I'm gearing up for quite a busy month (aren't we all?) which includes hosting a Christmas party this weekend, taking a mini vacation, figuring out what to do for my birthday, and getting all of Bianca's birthday plans worked out.  I thrive off of high stress situations like these, probably because I know the outcome will be memorable in the end.  I'm most excited about Bianca's Disneyland birthday trip.  I've already made special reservations and locked down some matching custom skirts for the occasion.  We all know the outfit is a very important part of this day!

Rocket

I'm so proud of Bianca, this little lady was fighting a cold and still managed to give me a few smiles in our matching outfits!  Much like her mommy, she loves getting dressed up, especially if it involves a "pretty dress".  These matching Jivin' skirts from Lil' Lou Lou are quickly becoming a favorite, because there's nothing better than wearing a kitschy novelty print!

Blue December

I enjoy "winterizing" my vintage/vintage inspired wardrobe, probably because it doesn't take more than an added layer to be fully prepared here in California.  I have quite the collection of cardigans, which get lots of use this time of year.  This blue toile Bernie Dexter dress has always been a favorite and I was more than excited to style it for this time of year.  Some people think light blue/pastels are only for spring, but when put this outfit together my mind immediately thought, "ice queen".  I consider that a compliment!
