So we try to encourage our customers to give us input to for us to make our site better and one recommendation we received was to add mannequins shots of our clothing. Well we listened, and if you have been anywhere near our Coming Soon Section on the website you will see this happening! …

I placed my moms wedding & graduation pictures in here and she was such a hotty ! She also made her wedding dress ! It is really a beautiful dress and the train was removable. She could have been a movie star ... I miss you mom , tomorrow Would have been her birthday. xo…

There are many new color combinations. Like this "Black Stitch Bullet Bra and Lacette" with red lace and stitch detals. From Secrets In Lace. The Coquette Girdle is a 15 inch Open Bottom Girdle with a nylon lace front panel for gentle firming figure persuasion It also has circling bands to control your waist, hips and back; it has 6 metal garter clasps at a fixed length.  I love their stuff but it can be expensive I have found…

1940′s make-up – Eyebrows

” Today a generous eyebrow is considered smart. Unless you want to accent a pretty nose, pluck your eyebrows clean at the inside end for the distance of about 1/8 of an inch. And from this point, begin to shape the natural arch. Now that the eyebrows are cleaned, the next step is to accent ! There is a technique for each type of face. Choose the one for your face type and see how pretty your eyes can really be! ”…

  We all need a little more kink in our lives, and some of us need something to ruffle some feathers, then look no further than the new Deadly Dames Kinky Ruffles skirt.

  You might ask yourself, what makes this skirt "SO special for me to spend some of my hard earned money on it?" Well like every Deadly Dames piece you will have a fantastic fit…

 I like my eyebrows well enough, so it wasn’t until I saw this photo of Miss Polly Rae that I’ve ever felt inadequate about them. Look at how lovely her makeup is! This is essentially the look I like to wear, just done oh-so perfectly! And those brows, swoon!  I found the kit that is fool proof ! Its by "Two Faced" and it has everything that you could need. It was my first time I ever "DID" my brows. I love it…

  Being a vintage gal is a pretty demanding kind of thing. Curling and styling your hair, the anything-but-natural makeup, hunting out rare vintage styles and sometimes wearing clothes that are 80 years old, not to mention the ordeals of garters, stockings, high heels, corsets, jewelery, hats – there’s a lot involved!

Now imagine, that on top of all that, you weren’t only going to style your hair, do your makeup, and wear uber-feminine vintage style clothing, but you were going to do…

If it were not for the stars aligning perfectly in my favour I am not sure I would have looked further into this special edition PUG Heidi dress. As I am a collector of Heidi’s and my preferred retail shop being Rowena’s, you guessed it. This would be my lucky dress <3

Word was out that PUG released an Exclusive Heidi dress in a decadent Red Floral print.  The catch was that there are only 2 retail shops in the world that have been stocked and are selling this heavenly…

….. Squirrel!

I have been waiting all summer for the opportunity to get my hands on the Squirrel Netti Print and was getting worries the opportunity may miss me by as the warm weather season in my area is quickly changing and snow is fast approaching here for us.



I really was enamoured by the print and the super cute Squirrels when I first saw a picture of this dress on the PUG site. As I am a reformed all black wearer I do still lean to and favour anything that…

Hi PUGsters!

Just curious if anyone else is going to the Dita von Teese show on Halloween here in NYC! I'll be attending (wanted to wear tie me up in fetish folly but it's sold out sigh....so just wearing it in black :D) and thought there is no way I'm the ONLY one who is. So anyone else? Maybe we can all do a mini PUG meetup with drinks beforehand (or after depending on whether folks are going to the 11pm or 7pm show. I'm 7pm since I have work the next day)!

I'm happy to announce that Halloween Pinup Girl and Leopard Print pillows are now available at sabbiespursesandmore.com! Vintage Halloween honeys ala Gil Elvgren style all dressed up for trick-or-treat. The perfect touch for your…

I feel passionately about this, so I had to write.. sorry it's so long! :-)

DO YOU WANT TO BE A GOOD PERSON?

Ask yourself this, are you a good person? Do you think you are a good person? Do you act like a good person?

Would a good person say or do something to someone else that will harm them, simply based on how they look and not by what they do?

We all think we are good - but we're human and we fuck up from time to time. It's unavoidable and it…

Yup, there's only 186 more days to go until Viva Las Vegas and I couldn't be more excited. Now that Fan Expo's out of the way I can start saving my penny's for the big event. I've never been to Vegas before, my husband tells me it really is something you have to take in for yourself and judging from everything else I've ever read it really is. :)



All of the videos…

So last week I had an absolutely amazing time taking pictures of my latest PUG order to use with my review, and I couldn't be happier with how the pictures turned out. My husband and I have been trying in-between work and the rest of life's responsibilities to learn as many tips and tricks to really taking amazing pictures, and even though we already knew this as every grown adult really should, everything we've learned has only made it more clear and reinforced the fact that a…

Hi Ladies

I watched a video today that featured Amy Poehler in "Ask Amy". She talked about loving yourself for what your body has and not focusing on what it can't have. It was pretty fantastic [watch here] and got me thinking about my own body issues.



I've been consistently overweight since I was about nine years old. It was impossible to find kids/teen clothes in the typical stores that my friends would shop at. I had to shop in the…

New post up, but not on fashion: a remembrance of Sept 11. You can read it here: VintageGirlShopsAModernWorld.

XOXO Jenn =)

I recently fell in love with the pinup era and have decided to enter in my first pinup contest. Its at a local vintage motor car expo.. Im nervous for many reasons... One.. Ive never been to one or know what to expect. Two.. I just turned 46 and am afraid Im going to be to old compared to the other contestants... Any advise? I think I am going to wear a remake of a vintage sailor romper... Very cute (or should I keep it more classic?)

There’s a lot to be said for a great go-to evening dress. If you have worked all day and are trying to find the energy to go out, the last thing you need is to put on a dress and feel...well...nothing! You need something that is going to make your heart beat a little faster, something that you put on, look in the mirror and say “My word, don’t I look ravishing tonight!”

YOU NEED…
