If you've been following me for a while, perhaps you remember this "songstress style" post, in which I obsessed over waxed poetic about the phenomenal style of one Mrs. Tracee Mae Miller, member of the amazing band Blanche!
Well, through that post I was able to connect with the sweet, generous and just plain lovely Corina Rose who sent me a box of Tracee Mae's clothes!! It seems she once was able to get to a garage sale at the Miller's home in Detroit, where she snapped up a bunch of Tracee Mae's garments. She's now passed a few on to me, and I couldn't be more thrilled! THANK YOU Miss Coco, I'm gonna wear these dresses 'til they're in rags, I love them so. I'm sending her a little thank you card and a couple of treats this week that I hope she'll enjoy! ♥♥♥
A sneak peak at the goods:
Corina Rose has a dandy blog of her own that, if your tastes run similar to mine, you'll be sure to enjoy. This gal has an amazing eye for style and aesthetic stuff, superb musical tastes, and she bears an awfully close resemblance to the 1959 Barbie doll! In short, she and her blog are fabulous so go forth and check it out if you haven't already.
I miraculously have this belt that matches this darling 1980s-does-1940s frock perfectly, haha! Clearly we were meant to be ;-)
Whaaaaa! That's soooo freakin' cool. Love it! I LOVE the black and white accessories with this special frock, too. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteamazing dress, love it
ReplyDeleteby the way, I'm just falling completely in love with Blanche. I hadn't heard of them til you! My husband is a MAJOR Blue Rodeo fan--I'm a Neko Case addict. Blanche fits our musical tastes perfectly. Have you heard of the Sadies? Some parallels there, too. Anyway, thanks for introducing me to some great music, gal!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely gift!!
