Feature Friday- Dorothy Days features Vintage Divine

Hello everyone :)

Today I am featuring another amazing shop for my 'Feature Friday'. The shop I am featuring this week is called

which is run by sisters Rachel and Alli :). They have lived in Phoenix, Arizona for 9 years but were originally from Portland, Oregon. They say that, while they miss the quirky town of Portland, they love the heat of Arizona! They sell mostly dresses but have also been dabbling in accessories and their store is so beautiful!

They say that they have both loved vintage from a young age (when it wasn't yet super cool!) and that by having the Etsy shop to sell vintage has kept them really close as sisters. As they put it .... " We are having WAY too much fun with our shop!". It is lovely to find a shop that not only has such beautiful items but also is run by people who really love what they are doing and are having a ball doing it! They say that as sisters they are very different and have very different styles which combined creats a great ensemble and keeps things interesting. Their dream is to someday take their online business and develop it so one day they can have a physical locations for their shop.


Here are some of my favourite items from their shop :) Please be sure to stop by and have a browse through some of their amazing vintage clothing collection :)

The Dorothy Days X

Dorothy Days features....a double whammy feature!

Hello everyone :),

Thanks to everyone who left me a comment on my vintage nails feature :) and to everyone who stopped by my blog, facebook page, shop and twitter this week. This week I am very excited as a close family friend of mine shall be getting married this weekend! The last few days has been a whirlwind of flower arranging, dashes to the dry cleaners and sorting out all the last minute things that seem to crop up!! I shall be taking lots of photographs and shall share some of them on my blog later in the week. My more observant readers will notice that I have updated my social media links on the right hand side so you can now visit my shop, twitter page and facebook page in just one click. Really pleased with how they look :) and proud of myself that I managed to code them!

Today is Friday so that means it is Feature Friday. This week I am featuring two very different shops. First up is ....

which is run by Laura from Ohio. Laura sells lots of vintage pretties but my favourite has to be her beautiful vintage shoes which she sells. I thought this week that we would go shoe crazy and feature some lovely vintage shoes as if you are anything like me you will have a bit of a shoe addiction!!!

To kick things off we have these beautiful rock star red shoes! They are great and could either be dressed up or down.

These shoes are totally different from the ones above. These are low healed and much smarter with a little burst of colour. Check them out here

I also love these little shoes which would be perfect for lazing around on the beach or in the garden this summer Take a look here

The second shop I am featuring is 

which is run by Jena Miller Divine. Jena is based in California (oh how that makes me jealous!!) and bakes the most delicious looking biscuits, brownies and other sweet things. As she says " You want yummy goodness? I'm your girl!"

 

 Mmmmmm!!! How delicious do these mint chocolate truffles look?!

These Organic Lavender shortbread biscuits also look amazing

Or how about this amazing Raspberry and chocolate chip loaf. Looks delicious and you could even pretend that it was one you had made earlier!

Thank you for reading about my features this week and I hope that you shall take a little look around their shops, they both have some lovely items and what more could a girl want !? Shoes AND delicious biscuits in one feature!!!

Vintage film to start the day

Woke up this morning to England being cold, wet and miserable! It is pouring with rain and looking like it is going to be this way the whole day.

I felt I needed a little bit of cheering up so have been watching this beautiful video on 1950's fashion with rare archive footage. The film shows creations from top designers at the time including Coco Chanel and Christian Dior. Some of the dresses are absolutely beautiful and so glamourous. I wish I had a few of these in my wardrobe!!

Hope you enjoy,
The Dorothy Days
