Sinatra Chic

Out of 50,000 suggested faces to place on a United States Postage stamp each year, only 20 are selected. This year, on the 10 year anniversary of FRANK SINATRA’S death, the USPS issued a stamp honoring Ol’ Blue Eyes. His children, Nancy, Tina and Frank Jr., were on hand for the reveal yesterday….

You can’t talk about Sinatra without talking about style!

1) Show your favorite Rat Pack look in your inventory

I have the coolest pair of Mid Century Mixed Metals on Sterling Cuff links



2) Favorite Sinatra song?

My treasured memories of dancing with my dad to Sinatra songs, the one that reminds me of those days 'It Was A Very Good Year.'

Im not a smoker but Dad smoked Lucky Strikes

I found this video on Lucky Strikes with a young Sinatra at www.archive.org




3) Favorite Rat Pack member? Blue Eyes of course!

4) Best Sinatra “era”? The 60s is my favorite era and when Sinatra was his sexiest so it would be Rat Pack suave



5) Favorite Sinatra wife?

Gorgeous, sexy, stylish Ava Gardner, this photo is my computer's desktop background :)



6) Been to Vegas, how many times and best Vegas story

Too many to keep track of, but always in Vegas to see my favorite band Widespread Panic

The fashion magazines are predicting that prints will be hot for summer…large florals, bold brush strokes, graphic designs.

Lets talk prints!

Q. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PRINT IN YOUR INVENTORY?

Because Im a child of the 60s and in honor of Albert Hofmann

this Mr. Dino is one of the many psychedelic prints I have in my collection



Im also fond of this Stan Hicks Hawaiian shirt



And this oriental-ish hippie dress with contrast lime bell sleeves



Q. WHAT IS YOUR DEFINITION OF NOVELTY PRINT?

For me a novelty print is one that is fun, whimsical, the print stands out on its own with not much other background 'noise'

like this unusual Shaheen seahorse pinafore MAXI dress also in my inventory





Q. MOST AMAZING NOVELTY PRINT YOU’VE EVER SEEN?

One of the most fun print dresses I ever sold was this WILD CHILD 60's Tori Richard Maxi Dress. Note how the flowers break off as they seem to float up to the top



Leave it to Tori Richard to design such an outstanding pop effect of the era.

Q. SIZE MATTERS….WHEN WEARING PRINTS, DO YOU PREFER BIG OR SMALL?

Um, Medium :)

Q. Personal Choice, COLOR OR BLACK AND WHITE?

I love black and white but do wear color on occasion.
