Updates & Instagram Round-Up: January 2013

Hello everyone! Like many of you, we have been busy with life, getting our Etsy business off the ground, and working to make this blog better. We are anxious to put some new items we've acquired on the shop.  We'll post some sneak-peeks soon!

 

A tutorial is in the works, so please vote on our new poll underneath the Etsy heart!

 

And to show we are still alive--here are a few Instagram snapshots so far this year.

An Outfit from the 40's

Although I love the 60's groovy scene, my love for the 40's has never diminished! This is my first authentic 1940s dress. We used Vintage Vogue 2787.

 

 

When working with the pattern, I made a few slight modifications. The gathering on the shoulder was a little excessive and I had to trim the piece to make it less bulky. I believe the pattern requires shoulder pads so I also made the shoulders narrower.

 



 

 

I also shortened the hem to a more flattering length for me which is right under the knee. I really like this length because it makes your legs look longer with out showing your knee.

 



 

Dress: made by me

Gloves: Thrifted

Bag: Gift from Estate Sale

(Viv's) Shoes: Natural Comfort (Overstock)

 

Thanks for reading!

GIVE-AWAY & INSTAGRAM

Today is Monday the 26th, the last day to enter the Tangee lipstick give-away!

If you didn't get to enter, don't worry! Since we know you all have been busy, we are extending the give-away until this weekend to make sure everyone is able to enter!
 

 

So the new deadline is

December 3rd @ Midnight.

To enter is simple-all you need to do is follow the blog publicly (if you're not already) and post this give-away on some sort of social network (Facebook, Twitter, Blog, etc.) then in a comment (on the original post) put a link of where you posted it!

 

 

 

We've also been busy with give-aways, Etsy and now we're on Instagram!

Sharing things that you won't see on the blog, we'll post pictures of our adventures- food, hot spots of California and any vintage inspirations along the way.

 

Our username: brentwoodlanevintage

 

Have a great week everyone!

 

Always,

Viv, Viola  & Vera





Classic California

I really enjoy looking at Viv's photos, she's actually a pretty good photographer! These are shots off her Instagram that capture classic California. They are all taken off her iphone.
Enjoy!

Sincerely, Vera
