Summer Blues

I have to admit, this week I've been thinking of moving to southern California. I'm tired of sitting in this beautiful store surrounded by the loveliest summer confections while the rain and hail beat down. It's dark out, everyones' allergies are driving them mad and frankly I myself am starting to get a little DOWN. Maybe these 50's summer beauties will cheer everyone up. The silk chiffon dress with the blue roses is a "Mt. Mort" original and is so pretty I could cry. Look at the draping on the back and the long french blue sash. Just to prove that there is a God, check out the blue "Kim's" cardigan in the EXACT same shade of blue that came into the shop a few days later from an ENTIRELY different source. They match perfectly. I have paired it with the crisp 50's cotton sundress by R&K and think they look divine together.
Just so the blues don't get you feeling too down I tossed in a picture of a pair of Henry Waters springolaters with a matching purse in sunkist orange. The perfect contrast to the blue and a gentle reminder that the hot days of summer are only a month--or two away.

Shoes Of Consequence



I recently aquired a huge collection of vintage heels made by Henry Waters, Shoes of Consequence. The woman who had owned them had a voracious appetite for pumps and could not be satisfied until she had every shade, tint, print and texture in her collection. I almost drowned in a sea of shoes in her hall closet. I looked like a crazed moron stuffing them into my jumbo Ikea bag. Her name was Jerry, and Jerry had not one but 14 pairs of lavender springolaters, all in very slight variation of one another. She had at least 20 pairs of gold shoe's... but I know-- who doesn't?  Jerry was my kind of gal. She loved beauty and surrounded herself with glamorous things. A lot of Jerry's favorite things will be on sale at Xtabay over the next couple weeks. Come by and feast your eyes.
