My View: August Instagram Round-Up

My day job is in the lingerie industry and we got to go to the Lingerie Francaise Exhibition during market week. I instagramed a few pics from the exibit, including this 1952 Lejaby Overwire. I am really on the hunt for a vintage overwire for my vintage lingerie collection. 

Summer in NYC is filled with outdoor movies in the parks. I was lucky to catch The Women afterwork one night with friends.  If you haven't seen this, do! It stars Joan Crawford, Norma Shearer and Rosalind Russell. The fashion show scene is to die for! 

Treated myself to some new shoes. I love these! Miranda from Re-Mix. 

ps. They come in green, too! 

I've worked in Union Square for the past 3 years and I love the weekly greenmarket there. We moved our office to Chelsea recently so I snapped some lovely pics from the market on my last day in the neighborhood.

Let's keep Instagram, ya know, instant! Follow me @BobbinBombshell to see these snaps and more in real time!

On My Wishlist: Retro Red Shoes

I love red shoes year round but with Valentine's Day fast approaching they seem very appropriate. I was delighted when I discovered Trashy Diva and their amazing retro shoe collection with a ton of shoes from Re-Mix Vintage as well as other makers. Here are 3 of my favorite red shoes from Trashy Diva that would be added to my Wists at the bottom of this page but there is some kind of blocker on that site not allowing my add button to work. Anyway, if anyone wants to send me a R.A.O.K, I'm a size 10!

From top to bottom:

Re-Mix 'Coco' Single Eyelet High Heel Oxford. Very 1920's! My sister and I call this style "Nun Shoes". I don't know why. I guess they remind us of the shoes the sister's wore when we'd visit our Great Aunt at the Convent in Quebec. I've had several versions of these shoes in my time, these have great vintage details.

Re-mix "Vera Cruz" Tooled Leather Ankle Strap Platform. I've never been a big fan of tooled leather (except when I was a child in the 70's and I coveted my much older sister's brown tooled leather purse) but in red these platforms are smokin'!

Nana 50's Style Satin Heels. These are so Marilyn and so perfect for Valentine's Day. Pair these with your favorite wiggle dress and go! Wallet friendly too.
