A lovely friend gave me these earrings on Sunday and I received a wonderful surprise parcel from the fabulous Christina this morning, the perfect antidote to a miserably wet week day.
One of her friends used to do PR for the designer Warren Noronha and Christina had never got around to wearing this amazing dress. By freaky coincidence, when I googled his name I discovered he had Goan parents.

We've yet to meet but she's definately got my size sussed.
Behold more treats:
A beautiful card, a vintage cotton nightdress which I'll wear as a dress, Breakfast at Tiffany's (as I've never seen it) and a stunning silk dress which I'll show off another day.

The dress looks totally fabulous on you, I knew it would. I didn't pay that for it. It came in a bundle from the PR. How mental that Warren has Goan parents - I never knew that!
You will make that nightdress look brilliant as a dress. Can't wait to see what you do with the silk one and what you think of the film. Call you tomorrow. Love you xx
PS. Off to visit Bella's blog, it's sounds great! And she obviously has marvellous taste.
Congratulations on your feature at the Citizen Rosebud! And what a stunning photo of you there!
ReplyDeleteI was talking about you in a comment on Bella's January No Man's Land feminism in fashion blogging post. It was a long comment, but I noted about you,
"One blogger who popped right into mind as not obviously feminist but certainly feminist-friendly is The Vintage Vixen. I mean, she's lean, longhaired, sexy, dresses daringly, sensuously, and to flatter her form, but it's always been to please herself. She cooks and shops -- to please herself, and her partner cooks and shops too, to please himself."
That dress fits you perfectly!
ReplyDeleteYou make that dress look amazing Vix and I ADORE the earrings! Thanks for the heads up - I'm heading over to play with the grown ups!
ReplyDeleteSarah xxx

Oh I only watched Breakfast At Tiffany's for the first time last year and that was only cos it was a special showing at my fave cinema. It's good but I find Audrey a little too perfect. George Peppard is bloody gorgeous in it though.
ReplyDeleteThat dress genuinely looks as if it was made for you. Christina has such a knack of picking the perfect things!
Oooooh what a lovely gem of a dress - it shows off your stunning figure and my oh my the EARRINGS!!!! I'm getting goosebumps right now:). I was going through some of your recent posts and have to say your trip to Goa must have been just what the dr ordered - you are looking so stunning beautiful - you could cut diamonds on those amaaaaaaaazing cheekbones!! xo
ReplyDeleteThat dress is stunning and such a perfect fit on you. I adore Breakfast at Tiffanys, I may say it is one of my favourite films xxx
ReplyDeleteDamm, I've still got 3 months to go til I can proudly add my name to the over-40s blogger list. Will check it out now though. xx
ReplyDeleteThe dress fits like a pair of gloves. And those green earrings, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh so fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI am glad to know that it is Christmas in your home everyday. I am not at all surprised.
Much love and besos my dear Vix.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
That dress is beautiful and looks stunning on you xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Vix for your comment on my blog.
ReplyDeleteThat dress definitely suits you, lovely x
That dress could have been made for you - she's certainly got an eye. Particularly love it against the backdrop of those curtains - lovely to see someone who embraces colour!
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy Breakfast at Tiffany's...I was determined to like it because it was the favourite film of a man I once loved - but I can safely say it stands alone! xx
Isn't blogland just a wonderful place where you meet the best, most creative and most generous people?? :P :) Love it all, and just proves my theory that every single thing can and will look good at you Vix!
ReplyDeleteThe dress is gorgeous! Breakfast at Tiffany's is one of my favourite movies, and Christina is such a doll.
