    It's impossible to pick just one favorite from Karen's shop, but any dress with a curvy hourglass shape steals my heart. Like the "Vintage 1950s LILAC SMOKE Party Dress."

    Reply

  36. The Vintage 1950's Blue Daisy Lace dress is absolutely gorgeous. That is most beautiful colored blue I have ever seen! Also the Vintage 1950's Harvest Gold Dress, perfect autumn color. Plus I just adore paisley patterns :P I've always loved small earth vintage.

  61. It was really, really hard to decide between the red plaid dress, the aqua petal dress, and the 1950s woven oxford pumps. But I think I have to go with the pumps as "thing I will buy even if I don't win."

  161. oh wow. too bad so many of the things I liked are so large in the bust area. the curse of a small chest (even though I don't mind it, i just wish it were easier to find things in my size!)

  180. I just love the Jazz Kids smock top! As an artist, I am drawn to smocks for that nostalgia of my first experiences with art. I would not want to paint in this top though! It is so precious, I wouldn't want to ruin it!

  199. I love Karen's shop and most of the stuff in it! I'd say for me it's a tie between the silver mod slingback shoes and the 1960s ROSETTE Cookie Dress.

  202. I lovedddddd "Vintage 1950s LEMON CHIFFON Blouse L". It's a pop of color that I usually wouldn't wear in my wardrobe because I alwaysssss opt for neutrals like tans or greys or blacks and browns. It can be worn with shorts or jeans, during all seasons by itself or with a blazer and aaaa <3

  210. I am so happy to have been introduced to this shop! I love the Persian patchwork shift dress, and the nautical sailor's jacket as far as practicality, and pieces i would wear very often. All of the dresses are pretty much amazing, and I love the variety of vintage tops — particularly since paisley and ascots are two of my favorite details on clothing! I'll definitely be shopping here in the future.

    And I have a blog on which I can be contacted, as well as the email jmsahmaunt@gmail.com
