Vintage 60s Anne Fogarty Velvet Wiggle Dress

 Love this velvet wiggle dress by Anne Fogarty, her dresses are highly collectible. The brand came back a few years ago with a new launch and her original designs, I'm not too sure if they are still in business.

    This dress has just been listed on my Ebay collection at  Graveyard_999 today. Check it out by clicking the first photo. I marked it down due to condition, it has a small hole and mark on the back of skirt.Still a lovely dress.

A Mini Gold Rush From My Vintage Collection

Here comes a mini gold rush of summer slip-ons from my collection. These sandals will be on my website very soon and showcase on Instagram under vintagegal7.



First, my favorite pair of sandals that are from Hawaii. This pair is by Kamehameha from the 60s.

Kamehameha in Hawaiian means " The One Set Apart" , which comes to mind when you think of these sandals, they are very unique.











They are fashioned in gold and silver with bead work meant to resemble shells or sea-life. There's even a cork block heel.


The second pair of sandals are from the 80s. Very Viva Las Vegas, perfect cocktail sandals to lounge by the pool. These sandals have a small  black wedge with gold trim and the its accented with faux leather flowers.

The third pair of sandals are from the mid 90s by Bruno Magli Couture, they are gold slip ons mules with a square toe, intricate gold weave and an curved block heel. These are sexy cocktails sandals ,so Italian. Check out that cool heel!

My last pair I will be listing is a sweet pair of 1960s Asian hostess slip-ons . They are done in gold
brocade with fancy bead work of red and pink flowers and a red padded cushion insole.



All are in good vintage condition, but with flaws. These Bruno Magli's will need some touch ups on the gold weave. The 60s Kamehameha has bead loss ,but very wearable.  The Asian slip- ons have been crushed on the side of the toe,possibly how they were from stored. The brocade is thick, so just add a small shoe horn or newspaper to store them properly .Lastly the lounge sandals have some scruffs on the leather and normal wear.

These would be perfect for resale.


Thanks for checking out my collection.

Have a great day!

B. O. R. N. to Style FYI show, but its on Hulu too!

B.O.R.N. 's owner Jonathan Bodrick what gorgeous clothes he wears on his new show. He mixes and matches what appeals to him, he's a fashion genius . I can't wait for more shows. Cheers Jonathan !
    Love  this gown!
 I'm so excited for this show! I hope we see many more episodes. The owner and his crew are fabulous and such fun to watch.  The music is  outstanding, the owner has such good taste. I want everything is his shop!!!!  Here's a sample of Born To Style, Borrowed, Old, Refurbish and New their style mantra ..... gosh I love it!


  I don't have cable, but I do have Hulu on my computer, there's only one episode on Hulu , so you better watch it quick.  Most episodes can be found on the FYI channel website. Unfortunately as I said before I don't have cable, so the older shows are blocked, rats. I'm glad I watched the first episode before it was deleted off of Hulu. Anyhow, enjoy this show,I know I will.
