so how do you like the new header Patty designed? if you look closely you can see some paper dolls. when Patty first showed me her inspiration, i knew i had to make a post about vintage paper dolls ♥
i don’t know about you, but i have played with lots of paper dolls when i was growing up. too bad i lost them all along the way =( the first set is probably the closest to what i played with when i was little, deep-set eyes and way too skinny lol.
how cool? paper dolls with fashion from the 19th century. so much lace, so girly, so vintage ♥
30s comic strip Blondie!
Betsy McCall has tons of retro paper dolls from the 50s!

much love for the lady-like clothes from the 60s, she even has a male companion ♥
how adorable are these hats? you can download the following two sets and print them out here: vintage paper dolls (pdf file)
BRUCE LEE paper doll (or should i say paper hero?)!! need i say more? click on the images to find the printable files. i already printed out a set myself =P
i don’t have a whole lot of bags, shoes, and accessories. when i find something that i love, i stick with it (probably also because i’m poor and have a tiny closet lol). so what i do most of the time, is i mix & match with what i already have. sometimes that really doesn’t sit right with the people around me. because they see me with the same stuff ALL THE TIME. so while we were taking these pictures, patty got frustrated and decided that i had to use her new Rebecca Minkoff morning after clutch mini in the shoot (what a demanding stylish and loving friend =P). so here it is, the oh-so-popular Rebecca Minkoff MAC mini! while i still prefer vintage purses, i can definitely appreciate this clutch for its classic shape and stylish chain strap. it goes quite well with my pocket shirt for a laid-back look, no?
it’s no news that i’m a big fan of vintage and vintage inspired items, but this is my very first vintage inspired dress in RED! i don’t usually like the color red but i fell in love when i saw this on Stephie’s Shop. i knew right then i had to have it. maybe its the beautiful floral print? i can’t really explain it, but i’m glad i got to wear this before summer goes away for good ♥
