As the holidays approach and we all get out and socialize, don't forget to spread the seasonal love with a bottle of vino and a fun and easy way to take credit for bringing it.  These wine cards have style for miles and are made by an amazingly talented friend of mine. :)  I love the wineocards™!

50 Ways to Get Yourself Tied...Oh I mean....50 Ways to Tie a Scarf.

Back in the late 80's I worked the accessory counter at what at the time was the "dream of all dreams" retail department store.  We were required to wear a scarf EVERYDAY.  They didnt seem to care how we wore it or where we wore it...just that we had one on and that the drop of a hat, we could demonstrate for the "scarf and accessory challenged" at least 50 Ways to Tie a Scarf.  We had a book we sold to them for $1.00 in case they needed guidance or ideas in the future.

So...as a result, I developed a passion for scarves.  

Scarves are glamorous.

These days, scarves can be found for a steal at yard sales, thrift shops, flea markets.  Some people bring trucks of them to sell.  Real treasures.  I just have them dry cleaned or hand wash and hang dry then lightly iron and you are good to go!

In case you need to be inspired or in place of the book I could have sold you in 1988, here are ideas from some of the beautiful starlets who have "style for miles" and know how to make a woman in a scarf look mysterious, sexy, darling, and daring.

 

Look for scarves to hit the shop at Ginger and Tonic Vintage very soon. 

Ive got loads of beauties for you! XOXO

                                                         

I want my life to be like an 80's movie.

Speedracer: Trixie's demon on wheels.

Check out Speed Racer - Episodes 1-11

Keeping the theme I have going with cars and dreamy vintage superheros, we have the perfect combination of speed, class, and DANGER in Speedracer.  Although at times, he was a little bossy...I have to say...shouting his demands at the reliable and "always there for him" Trixie PLUS making her run all the time!

BUT, regardless...I always had a crush on Speedracer. It seemed quite suiting that during my Manic Panicked "WildFire"  dyed to the max red bob hair days I was nicknamed Trixie.

I think there is a little Trixie in all of us.  

Brave, Loyal, and really hot looking in a helmet.

I will always love the music, animation, outfits, cars and gadgets in Speedracer.  If you havent watched some of the vintage Speedracer out there.    XOXO
