Green with envy, but healthy envy of course, it’s what’s in this Spring and Summer 2013. I have found a variety of green vintage dresses from different decades and are now available at our Sweet Vintage Lady Shop on Etsy. From purses, to day dresses and more, we have something unique for every gal out there. Here is a glimpse of some of our green collection:

Sweaters, sweaters and more sweaters. We can’t get enough of them especially in the Spring and Fall/Autumn seasons. I love sweaters especially those oversized ones… they just make me feel so cozy. During my vintage hunting I have come across many beautiful sweaters and they are now available at our Sweet Vintage Lady online shop on Etsy.

Here is a sexy 70′s sequined pullover with lots of glam to show off. Find it here etsy.com/listing/113883589

Christmas in Central Florida

sweetvintagelady — Mon, 10 Dec 2012 03:33:16 +0000

Christmas in Central Florida… let me tell you that here Santa always has a blast because he can wear shorts and tacky shirts. Today our highest temperature was 80 degrees Fahrenheit (26 Celsius). We rarely need to wear a coat down here. Floridian girls get really excited when it goes down into the 70s and start wearing their Winter boots.

Christmas season is the best time of the year to visit our favorite mouse, Mickey, at Disney World, right here in Central Florida.

You will find Flamingos decorating some Christmas trees especially in many beach towns. Here is one I found on Etsy from the Ce Crafts Shop.

We even have a small town called Christmas. We can celebrate the season all year round!

Winter season may be very different in Florida from most areas in the United States but we still celebrate the Christmas season with the same spirit of joy. We welcome anyone who wants to escape from the cold snow. Wanna come?

A perfect gift for my husband

sweetvintagelady — Sun, 09 Dec 2012 02:29:39 +0000

A perfect gift for my husband. Is there such a thing? For that matter, is there such a thing as a perfect husband that needs a perfect gift? We will never agree on this issue if we debate it but let me tell you, it is so much fun to shop for a handmade item on Etsy. By the way, I do have the perfect husband.

Here are a few of the unique gifts I found while browsing Etsy today. Does your husband grill? I stumbled upon an adorable apron by the Yellow Bug Boutique. Who said that science and cooking can’t work together?

Here is a cute t-shirt for that hard working husband of yours. You can find it at Screaming into Pillows on Etsy.

What about a Man Cave sign for him? I found this one at Craft Creations Etsy.

I hope you find what you’re looking for for that special hubby of yours. Merry Christmas and happy holidays!

Spring in December

Spring in December? It looks like it at our Sweet Vintage Lady Shop. I know it is cold in many parts of the United States but here in Central Florida we are still enjoying warm temperatures. In fact, I’ve been going out in my shorts for the last two weeks. This weather inspired me to add some Spring/Summer dresses to our Etsy store. I know our friends in Australia will really appreciate them. Here is a glimpse:

Mad Men Fashion

sweetvintagelady — Sat, 03 Nov 2012 18:20:43 +0000

Mad Men season 5 dresses from amctv.com

Mad Men fashion is so gorgeous. I enjoy admiring the outfits used in the AMC series. Women dressed so glamorously back in the 1960′s. I just read that for Season 6 they will be heading to Hawaii. Vintage Hawaiian dresses are the best so I can’t wait to see what’s in store for the new episodes. I want to share with you a video I found on the official AMC website where Janie Bryant talks about the wardrobe they design and the process of getting the right look for the women in the show.

At our Sweet Vintage Lady Store we have some Mad Men fashion available. We just listed on Etsy a classic wiggle dress, a slouchy cocktail dress and a beautiful Borella black coat. These vintage pieces are from the 1950′s to early 1960′s period and are so Mad Men. Here is a glimpse at some of the items. You can find these and more unique vintage fashion at our online shop located at etsy.com/sweetvintagelady

Introducing Emma

sweetvintagelady — Fri, 05 Oct 2012 03:16:38 +0000

Introducing Emma! Our newest model is here. We are so excited to give our Sweet Vintage Lady Store a new look with beautiful Emma. She is just a cutie and we want everyone to learn more about her. Here is a short and informal interview we conducted (we really do know she’s not real):

Emma

What are your measurements?

32-25-35. I am a 6 feet tall. Can you believe that? My height only gives me trouble when I’m trying to find a dancing partner to do the Salsa.

Where were you born?

I was born in Puerto Rico so I have some Caribbean flavor. I am a mix of many ethnic backgrounds. That’s why I have this olive skin tone.

What is your favorite fashion decade?

I love, love the 80′s. It is such a cool decade. Spandex, neon, big hair and shoulder pads… and the teen movies OMG!!! I do like my flat ironed straight hair now though.

How did you get into vintage fashion modeling?

I was in San Francisco and was recruited to come to Florida by a small agency. I am glad to be in Central Florida now as the weather is warmer here (but humidity is killing my hair). I am looking forward to visiting Disney to see Mickey.

What do you like most about your job?

I truly enjoy bringing a great visual of how clothes would look on potential customers. I feel that I can help tons of friends to shop for unique vintage fashion. That is what makes my job so special. Plus I get to try on tons of clothes.

When you are not modeling what do you do?

I enjoy the beach (Florida is the perfect place for me), reading (I am hooked to my iPad), and traveling. I also love to go thrifting to find amazing clothes for me.

Do you have any additional thoughts to share?

I am so excited to be the new face of Sweet Vintage Lady Shop on Etsy. I can’t wait to model all the amazing pieces they have. Please visit our online Shop located at etsy.com/shop/Sweetvintangelady XOXO, Emma

Welcome Emma to our Sweet Vintage Lady Shop!
