Mad about Mad Men FASHION

Okay, I admit it.  I am a Mad Men-oholic.  Mad Men is, of course, the superb AMC series about the lives of men (and women) who work at an ad agency in the 1960's.  It not only is wonderfully written, the set and costume design are like vintage eye candy! For some fabulous reading on how this stylish show has inspired a retro revolution in fashion, check out these sites........

Swimsuit Shopping

It's almost here....swimsuit season!  I always have the worst time finding the right suit for my mommy body! Last summer's "tank and skort" swimsuit really didn't work for me.  So, I've been searching brick and mortar and online shops desperately looking for a swimsuit that will camouflage my belly....without making me look like I'm trying to camouflage my belly!  I found some really cute suits at ModCloth.  Here's a pic of one that I thought might work for me........I like that it has a vintage look ( I LOVE vintage clothing, furniture, junk, etc!).

Be sure to check out their other swimsuits too. Loads of cute bikinis and one pieces! 


Have fun swimsuit shopping! (Never thought I would utter that little phrase....)

Window Shopping

I LOVE to window shop....preferably online while I'm still in my p.j.'s...and sipping coffee, of course!  I love handmade and vintage items.  One of my favorite sites for these items is Etsy.  I love the look and ease of the site.  If you are looking for unique items for yourself or to give as gifts....this is the place to go!  It's also a great place for crafty or vintage savvy mommies to start their own business.  I opened up a shop on there in the fall of 2008 and have had a lot of fun with it!  Creating the storefront and listing items is so simple.  Etsy also is quite supportive of its' sellers and has created forums and other areas on the site where shop owners can gather advice on how to run their shop, how to market, etc.  GREAT site all around!
