Ever since my early days of blogging My Vintage Vogue, an archive of popular fashion displaying photographs, models and designers from the 1920s to the 1960s, has been one of my favourite websites. It is always so inspiring. I love all the looks because they are incredibly pretty, classy, feminine and dressy; I adore the soft pastel colours, the beautiful flowers, stripes and polka dots, the bold statement colours and of course the red lipstick. The collection is extensive and very impressive; it's a rather fitting and beautiful tribute to previous decades. I constantly wish I could dress up like this every single day. As I'm sure you all know, my favourite decade of vintage fashion is the 1950s primarily because I love the shape of the dresses, so I thought I'd make that the subject of this post. The sailor dress in particularly stands out to me because I've always wanted a sailor dress; I can just never find the right one. I like to think that my own style has a vintage element to it,; I thought it was the ultimate compliment when I once was asked whether this was a genuine vintage dress, but I do constantly wish I could find more ways to make my style increasingly vintage. I definitely recommend checking out this site.

I love how ladylike the dresses and clothes were from this era, they really played to a woman's figure with modesty, great inspiration!
We share a love for Fifties fashion. After a lifetime of longing, I found a few dresses reminiscent of that era and they give me great pleasure. I hope you do, too.
I definitely will check out the website. I haves Vintage Vogue Pinterest board and would love to see this :)Thanks!
oh gosh, so much inspiration here. i am longing for all of these dresses!

crunchy cheese me
SO pretty! I love dresses from the 50s as well, for the full skirts. I'd love sailor dress too but I'm not sure if I could pull it off without looking too kitsch!
That lacy cap sleeve 1950s inspired mint lace dress from Portmans in your 31 Oct. 2011 Outfit post is gorgeous! I like a lot of the vintage dresses pictured above too. I would imagine that you must love the look of a lot of the dresses that Jennie of Frocktasia and Vix of Vintage Vixen put up for sale. It must be hard getting by on a very tight budget with the taste and fashionista inclinations you have, though Vix and Jenny are pretty amazing at it... then again, they put an incredible amount of time and work into it. I love vintage looks. I think my favourite out of the ones above might be the red and green floral print dress in the fifth photo (on the left, third row down) but I think your lacy mint dress from Portman's is even prettier.
Love the hair style then. I wonder did they use a lot of hair gel? Hahaha.
I love everything vintage...
and this vintage post of your is fabulous I truly enjoyed my visit here.
I love the 50's. It was such a great era for fashion! I love these images so much. So gorgeous.
You're soo great, we're following you back now !
Let's keep in touch ;)

Oh wow these dresses are all so elegant, love them. It must have been amazing to live in the 50's with a wardrobe like that. The red dotted one is my absolute favourite :) Nice blog you have! X
Imogen, thank you so much for visiting my blog, so glad you did as I came across your wonderful blog. I love the 50's, if there is a time period I wanna live in it would be the 1950'. Great photographs. Following you now via GFC :-)

Oh man, what neat pictures!
I really would like to do what you said--get some more vintage pieces. I don't think I'd do well with a mostly vintage wardrobe, but I would really like to have a few neat little vintage pieces in my wardrobe just to spice itup.
This is the era I wish I grew up in. So many gorgeous dresses but the red polka dot has to be my favourite. Gorgeous pictures and wonderful post.

All of these dresses are totally stunning - and I can certainly see you rocking each and every one of them. I really like the black one with the red roses. So pretty! Reminds me of Dolce & Gabbana.

Your style definitely has a vintage feel to it, and I can see why you gravitate towards the silhouette of the 50's:) Great inspo pics:)
The silhouettes of the fifties make me swoon!
Such great inspiration! I think long gloves need to come back into style- they're just so elegant and beautiful.
Sincerely,
Sabrina
