Style Inspiration: Summer Whites


Love the pompadour hairstyle and the even higher waisted shorts than the first image! Look at her leather braided sandals and freshly manicured toes!

Jane Birkin in an embroidered peasant blouse. 


Erin Fetherston always looks so angelic, especially here in a pleated white dress and cardigan. Love how she toughened up the look with black tights and leather boots! Image Source: Street Peeper Blog

I LOVE vintage swimsuits! The low cut bottoms and ruching across the body is ultra flattering, though it helps if you're Marilyn Monroe of course! 


This look is my absolute favourite! I remember seeing this image on Garance Dore's Blog. I Love the rolled up sleeves and soft grey scarf. What is it about denim and white? It just looks so fresh and effortless!



Here's a good roundup of white vintage clothing currently for sale on Etsy...

Make mine Sasparilly!


Nothing like Calamity Jane songs and some chocolate pretzels to help me get through a night of cleaning. If you haven't seen this 1953 musical, you must- it's Day-lightful! One of my childhood favourites :)

Vintage Sailor Styles

How charming are these summer sailor styles from Vintage McCalls Magazine and Ladies Home Journal? 

I don't think I will ever tire of this look. The crisp white is perfect for hot summer days, stripes add a playful/youthful feel and a touch of red brightens it all up!



Most of the clothing and accessories featured below are vintage pieces from various vintage shops on Etsy.com. For more details just follow the link below each image:
