Goodbye Winter Blues

It has been a very cold and snowy winter so I am so happy its officially March !  Spring is right around the corner.... ok it doesn't actually warm up until May but hopefully the weather stays in the 0-5 degrees. This is an outfit I wore yesterday to walk around Niagara On The Lake. I am wearing a blue 1930s coat that has some beautiful oversized grey fur on the collar. I know you can't see it from these photos but underneath I am wearing a 1940s Grey wool skirt, a white blouse and a teal knit sweater. For shoes I am wearing  blue heels from Memery.  For my purse I grabbed a leather 1930s clutch.... which wouldn't be my first choice but the only blue clutch I have was a completely different shade, and my other options were brown or black. I don't wear grey very often so I don't have a grey clutch. And to top it off I am wearing a late 30s/early 40s blur hat with silver accents. Let me know what you think of this look. Is it warming up where you are or not yet?? 

Summer "Memery"

[Gifted] Summer is coming to a close and I finally got my dream summer shoes. I have been eyeing the Cream Marie shoes from Memery for years. They are made of leather and the quality is incredible. They are the perfect style and shade for 1930s outfits. As soon as they arrived in the mail I knew I had to wear.  I paired the shoes with a cream 1930s dress that has a light blue bow at the front. The dress also has a matching cream hat with a tiny bow. It was the perfect outfit for the end of the summer, with its slight nautical vibes, but in cream tones signalling the end of summer. 

1920s Escape

[Gifted] The most beautiful 1920s inspired dress !  The House Of Foxy has done it again, this is the limited edition Nellie Dress !  I can't wait to wear this through the fall. It's in a medium blue shade with cream leaves and a cream tie detail. I paired it with a vintage early 1930s cloche hat,  that happens to be the exact same colour as the cream details on the dress. I also happened to have cream shoes in the same tone that worked perfectly! Don't you just love it when that happens! 

La Vie En Fleurs

About a month ago I posted a blog post talking all about the beautiful scents from Bienaimé  (Link here)  I was so obsessed with the products that I had to buy a bottle of perfume. After debating back and forth I decided to go with La Vie En Fleurs. Its a beautiful feminine scent that was originally created by Robert Bienaimé in 1935, it was one of the original scents that was created in the first year of the house of Bienaimé. Starting with the outside, it comes in the iconic cylinder Bienaimé box, it's pink with a red trim. Of course the glass bottle is stunning!  It has a gold art deco seashell lid, which I was shocked had so much weight to it, its very high quality. The perfume is beautiful of course, it's light and floraly but also has a bit of powder to it. It's the perfect daytime fragrance. It smells like how I imagine a woman in the 1930s smells like while getting ready at her vanity, big fluffy powder puff and all. 

Since I was already placing an order, I also got their perfume sampler to test out some of the other scents. It comes with 5 perfume samplers, all enclosed in a gorgeous striped pouch (amazing to store things in your purse after!). I've been so obsessed with La Vie En Fleurs that I haven't dug into the other fragrances yet!  But It's the weekend so I might just test them out.... and who know maybe I'll add another perfume to my collection. 

Red Suede In The Sun

[Gifted] Hello! I'm starting to pull out my summer hats and I am so excited !  I recently got all of these pieces (featured in my latest haul- you can watch it here! ) this is a 1930s reproduction dress, probably from the 2010s twee era, but I think it's pretty accurate and works perfectly for 1930s looks. It has small red, yellow and green flowers. I paired it with a 1930s straw hat that has a brick coloured velvet trim, and long bow dangling on the back. For shoes I am wearing American Duchess shoes, these are the Melrose shoes in brick red suede, they are part of the On The Avenue Collection. They are made of leather and have the most incredible brick coloured suede. It's funny because the brick actually matches perfectly to the red velvet trim on the hat... almost 100 years apart and they match perfectly ! To finish the look off I added this 1930s/1940s red grape dress clip which I think is the perfect addition to the outfit! I've been getting into dress clips lately so I'm slowly adding them to my jewellery collection. Let me know what you guys think in the comments below!
