Win a Vintage Bob Mackie Dress on Sammy Davis Vintage

A couple months ago my favorite vintage blogger and friend, Sammy Davis, gave me a call to see if I'd be interested in working with her and Bob Mackie. My answer: Uh...YES! Sammy and Bob Mackie were teaming up to give away an amazing 1980's dress from the legendary designer. Not only did I get to see the amazing piece up close and take the photos, but I also got to check out their NYC headquarters.



This dress has amazing sequin flowers on the shoulders and the bust is a corset style. Sammy looked like a Greek (or Roman?) goddess in this dress. People were actually stopping us in Bryant Park due to the beauty of the gown. Some even thought she was getting married! Oh the people in New York City...you gotta love them!




Be sure to stop by Sammy Davis Vintage to read more about the rules to enter the contest, watch a video Sammy made about the dress, and learn a little more history about Bob Mackie, the dress, and Bryant Park. 

Good luck to everyone that enters!!!


Homecoming Dresses at DressFirst

August is practically here, which means for my younger readers that means the start of school is right around the corner. And when school starts, you know what you will be thinking of...homecoming! I wanted to let you all know that I found an amazing site that has the best collection of homecoming dresses that I have ever seen. What I love most about the dresses on DressFirst are the variety of colors that they come in and sizes that they have available. There really is something for everyone!

Here are some of my favorite dresses in their collection that I think would make anyone the star of their homecoming dance.

There is something very romantic about this flowing chiffon dress. It will make anyone look like a superstar.

This tulle and sequin dress screams homecoming to me! Bright and bold...and full of fun. This is a dress that the girl who is the life of the party will most definitely be wearing.

Can we say pretty??? This dress has amazing beading detail and will make anyone feel like a princess.

I could totally see myself in this stunning satin dress. It's very simple, yet classic. It's definitely a dress you could look back on wearing and not cringe. So chic!

Aren't these dresses just fabulous? Which DressFirst homecoming dresses are your favorite?


Look of the Day- Sweet & Sassy

Two of my favorite colors have to be black and pink. I swear most of my wardrobe is black. You can make all the jokes about New Yorkers and their dark garb, but it really is just so much more practical. But how can you make a full black wardrobe a little more interesting? Adding pops of color, like the hot pink shown below, really gives that extra punch that makes an outfit special.
