Vintage Finds of the Week: Stockings

I love vintage stockings, the boxes, the seams, etc. As you know I am selling my collection as I have sadly realized that I am too tall for many vintage styles. While I have to rely on repro stockings to wear, I can't help but search every now and then for the real deal. Oh how I wish they'd fit! Here are my finds for the week.

Vintage Brown Fishnet Seamless Stockings- $8.00- Jonscreations

Vintage Pair of Vassarette Brown Nylons in a Beautiful Pink Satin Box.-$6.00 -Yummy Sailor

Le Bas Christian Dior Vintage 60's in box un worn with labels 2 pair- $25.00 -Basement Safari

Vintage Hosiery Stocking in Original Box STUNNING STEMS Two Pairs-$4.00- joanne44

Newly Listed: Femme Fatale Vintage

As I promised, I am selling my vintage fishnet collection. Here are 4 pairs (2 ivory, 2 black) that are unworn as I realized I am just too tall for vintage hosiery. My vintage loss is your gain! This collection has been listed in my eBay store, auction style starting at $.99! This auction lasts one week and will end next Wednesday night! Don't delay.

Christmas Stockings and Boots; My Glamorous Holiday

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! I had a lovely and glamorous time. I absolutely love the Faryl Robin black leather knee high boots my sweetie gave me! Thanks babe!

Here I am dressed up for a Christmas party that was a blast! I am wearing my vintage 1960's wiggle LBD with the matching bolero jacket lined with blue flowers. The necklace is from Angel Court that I got at the Bust Craftacular earlier this month. My red suede shoes are one of my favorite pairs from Marc Fisher. And of course that's one of my feather headbands in my hair. The stockings I got years ago at Marshalls and I can't remember what brand they are. I originally was so excited to wear a pair of vintage seamed black fishnets from my vintage stocking collection that I haven't had a chance to wear yet. Unfortunately, with my height, 5'10", they were way to short and didn't reach my garters. Ugh! So I picked these instead, which are lovely. I have sadly realized that my gams are too long for my vintage stockings. My vintage loss could be your gain. I will be selling my unworn stockings very soon. So all of you lucky petites stay posted!!

And finally here I am in my cherry print bikini (not my best photo but whatev!) at Le Parker Meridien hotel pool! My sweetie and I decided on a "staycation" or "holistay" and spent Christmas Eve at a fab hotel a subway ride away. The penthouse pool overlooking Central Park was amazing and we had a blast!

So far my holiday season has been glamorous! I hope yours has been too.

xoxo and Happy Holidays!

Vintage Item of the Week; Fishnet Stockings!

My current vintage obsession is stockings, especially fishnets. Nothing says bombshell more! I own several pairs that I love to wear on nights out on the town held up with vintage garter belts. A recent find was a black pair that have a tighter netting on one side than the other creating a line down the front and back of the leg. Rare indeed!

Now as much as I would love to, I can't keep all my finds for myself. I have several pairs for sale in my Brooklyn boutique, Ouvrez La Porte. Some may also appear soon in my Etsy store, The Smashing Darling. We'll see how generous I am!
