Vintage Glam

Posted on 22:24 by kumar
m- Ok time to boast. This is my beautiful family and I love them dearly. I had the most amazing opportunity to get a sneak peek at my grandmother's closet while I was in town for Christmas and what I found was really something special. My grandmother (Boobah for those keeping tabs at home), was, and still is, a fashion icon of her time. To our favor, she has archived many of her pieces from the past. Naturally, we kept it in the family and Boobah graced my cousin and sister with some of these unique vintage pieces to re-live some of the best decades fashion has had to offer. 
Hold this thought...
The detail on this dress was out of this world. Gold and orange detail make this beautiful gown even more elegant and of course Payton's fiery hair completes the look. 
Boobah's powder room was a perfect place for a shoot. 
Vintage earrings always seem to have a unique shape, different from earrings today and these cool square beauties are a great touch. 
Boobah's Florence + the Machine dress. Completely obsessed with this. The DETAIL. The lace. I can't even...
Thank you Boobah for beautiful clothes and beautiful genes. We'll take it!
We really couldn't pass up an old tub with legs...naturally, we jumped right in. Boobah has furs for days in her collection and we will be photographing them more in the near future for sure.
It is really hard to capture all of the elements of this dress, expecially the significant weight of the garment but this shot showcases some of the absolutely phenomenal details. This is truly an amazing gown.
Mary Rose Bell, a classy lady indeed.

Bathtub full of fur?....couldn't resist. Feel free to judge.

Because we're obsessed.
