Ooby Dooby ... Not only a song but a great fashion statement.

I'm liking this Ooby Dooby Top. Get ready for summer fun with the Ooby Dooby Top! Charming checkers and sweet stripes are simply irresistible! Black and white print is like a 50's movie! Bustier-style top is lightly padded at bust with pleated ruffle trim. Black satin bow sits center front. Adjustable spaghetti straps are completely detachable for a strapless look. Invisible side zipper. Stretchy, smocked panel at back. Fully lined. Small measures 11" down center back. 30" bust (relaxed). 100% Cotton.

Pair it with this adorable Black Mountain Skirt by Obey. This wax coated black denim skirt is slick to the touch and ultra form fitting. Includes silver studs at the waistband, front slit pockets and two back pockets. Fastens with an exposed center back zipper.

I personally, like this grey skirt with a red stripe. Skip like you just got out for recess in the BB Dakota by Jack Achava Skirt. Playful grey-woven twill skirt sports cherry red contrast stitching at the waistband and darling pleats front and back. In front, a full length exposed zipper is trimmed in bright red for a fun color accent! Belt loops at waist. Side seam pockets.

These are all available at Lulu's.com. Another great vintage shop.

Sin in Linen Sheets Make it Easy to Be a Pinup in Bed

If you love the feel of nice clean cotton sheets you will love the Sin in Linen line.  We offer a nice selection of their line which includes: Sheets, Duvets, Shower Curtains, Comforters and more. 

Check it out yourself:   To the left, the Pink Sheet Leopard Set.  A twist to classic leopard print, this pink version is super sassy and purrrfect on silky sateen 100% cotton for Sheets, Duvet Covers and Pillowcases.

 My favorite:   "Wish You Were Here," which although they are not rockabilly, (but Alternative) ... always reminds me of Pink Floyd.  Second to that Peter Cetera's song "Wishing you Were Here," but enough of that : )   This pin-up inspired print is titled "Wish You Were Here" to reflect on times when handwritten postcards were mailed to loved ones. No need for stamps, these postcard pinups deliver just the right message every time. Their provocative poses are proof that you should take a picture-it will last longer.  The sheets are pretty comfy:  300 Thread Count, 100% Cotton Sateen .

True Fifties Style Dresses You'll Love in Our Shop

New vintage clothes that you will just love in our shop.  I love these fabulous styles.  We have the Bluebelle; Custom made classic style dress from a 1957 pattern.   Lovely full flared skirt. Fastens with a zipper at the back. Available with 3/4 or short length sleeves. Dress is mid to lower calf length.

And my favorite ... "Grace," reminds me so much of Grace Kelley's style with the cute little jacket.  This 1957 reproduction dress has a full flared skirt which is fully lined with a petticoat ruffle at the hem of the lining. The shoulder straps from the low scooped back extend around to the front to form the eye catching halter style neckline. The length is mid calf but can be changed to suit your preferences.

Beyonce' is Rockin' the Retro Vibe Too ....



Looks familiar ... like a Betty Page burlesque act.

BeyoncĂ© dresses up like a naughty '50s housewife in the video for "Why Don't You Love Me", a bonus cut penned by her sister Solange from the re-released version of her "I Am...Sasha Fierce" album.

BeyoncĂ© cries, drinks and chain smokes her way through this one, sporting sexy, Bettie Page-inspired looks. The video begins with her character, the aptly-titled "B.B. Homemaker," reading a car manual and performing a greasy tuneup while rocking Daisy Dukes and red stilettos.  Keep watching and you'll see her scrub the floors, take a bath, do windows and even garden.

Seems Beyonce' is liking retro too.
