Fabulous Forties Floral Hats

So, grab your hats girls and we'll do lunch. I can't get over how wearable these darling forties hats are, especially with the cute hairstyles we have today. Bring your purse to the auction,  hold up your paddle and Bid!

WWll Summer Wedges

Okay, who's ready to Jitterbug? Look at these shoes! I love them. Try a carved Chinese village to lighten your step or wearing a red V for victory (whatever your victory might be). If you attend the sale you can bid your way to victory and walk out with these incredible shoes!

4 Piece Ladie's Kimono from Japan, 1870

This kimono set is Wonderful! It belongs in an important collection (yours), but I must admit I'd absolutely love to wear this Kimono ensemble at least once before I put it into my collection. Then again, why not leave all options open. But you'll need to be at the sale to even have options.

1920's Gold Lame Opera Coat


Fashionable ladies of the 20's would wear these luscious printed gold lame coats when they were off to the opera. Fashionable ladies of our decade should be seen wearing them out for a chic look as well ( there are at least four coming up at the sale). So think 1920's fun in 2010 and have a glamourous time on the town! You'll most certainly be the talk of it!

Rare ELIZABETH HAWES 1930'S Dress & Jacket

This dress is a fabulous example of the famous ELIZABETH HAWES couture for the everyday woman of the 1930's. If you watch the video you'll be able to learn all about her from Karen herself. This dress will of course be offered at the N.Y.C auction. So be prepared to bid, so you don't lose out on an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of owning your own piece of American Couture history.
