A Dose of Summer Vintage!

As we mentioned earlier, we totally fell in LOVE with all of our latest vintage finds! It's always bittersweet to see fantastic pieces leave us, but we are happy to see these one of a kind dresses go to good homes/owners. Check out some of the latest and greatest...

Jessie is totally ready for brunching, lunching, and more this summer with a light and bright vintage sundress. Once she found one, she was hooked...


What a lucky fly girl?! Jessie couldn't pass up this FABULOUS favorite of ours! Certain to last her a long time and receive many compliments along the way.


This Van Gogh print dress has been admired by many fly girls! Perfect for summer days and nights.


Another ideal pick for any summer occasion! Bright and Fun : )


We know Julie loves our vintage picks - now she has added one of our faves to her own collection!


Black is great anytime... and with the sweet rose accent, this fly girl will surely make a statement!

Come see us soon to see our other awesome summer vintage pieces - you don't want to miss out! And remember, if you already own one of our vintage items, we'd love for you to send us a picture if we don't already have one (thevelvetfly@gmail.com).

More GREAT vintage!!!

Okay ladies, as promised.... here are some more shots of these OUTSTANDING one of a kind vintage pieces we have in the store and that are going QUICKLY!

Starting from the top: This beautiful linen embroidered dress that was in our window was bought yesterday by this super cute FLY girl you see photographed wearing it! What a great summer dress for any occasion!

Next, a small taste of these awesome vintage belts we have in stock in red, aqua, purple and tan! They are great accent pieces for any dress and look great over a cardigan paired with a tank. At first, we only had 4 in the store and they all went within ONE WEEK! I was able to get more for all you FLY girls who requested them, and for those of you who emailed me after you bought one and wanted another one! Get them while they are still here~ They are only $48 and because they are elastic, fit a variety of sizes and make a great gift!

The next couple of photos are of one of our favorite FLY girls, Jen! Jen fell in love with about 3 vintage dresses and had to make a couple of tough decisions...with a little help from her friend Brooke! She looks amazing in everything (must be tough) but especially in this vintage Hawaiian dress and this super vintage plaid dress (which was my personal fav). Which one would YOU have picked for her?

Our last 3 shots are currently starring in our window! We just could not resist the combination of vintage aprons over vintage slips, so feminine! Also this great vintage checkered apron over a denim skirt! Our last picture is one of my favorite vintage dresses! I picture this dress being worn to a beautiful baby shower this summer! It is just so sweet!

So come in and check out the great selection of vintage we have, it won't last long~ Oh, and BTW.... Jen went home with the plaid dress! :)
See you soon!

Fly Girls LOVE Vintage

Fly girls LOVE vintage, yes they do! Look at how GREAT these ladies look in their one-of-a-kind vintage pieces! Katie looks like this great late 1940's Polka-dot Navy dress was made for her! Updated with a red accent belt and she will be the envy of any event she attends! .... and check out how amazing Stevie looks in this 1950's Garden Frock! Stunning! Without a doubt nobody else owns a dress like this one, so feminine! Not to mention, this great early 1940's Lace dress on Julie! C'mon, have you EVER seen anything like that anywhere else? So elegant!

Beth and I have been VERY busy the past 3 weeks collecting and hunting for GREAT VINTAGE PIECES that are currently in the store and ladies, let me tell you..... it's among the BEST VINTAGE COLLECTION we have had for Spring and Summer since we've opened! So, if you have an important event to attend this summer and want to be the belle of the ball.... come in and check out these fabulous dresses before they are gone! Remember, we only have ONE of each! (That includes jewelry and clutches too!)

I promise, next week I will post some photos of these great pieces! Oh, and if you've been in the store and purchased a VINTAGE dress and we didn't get to photograph you in it, please email us a picture of you in it so we can post it on our blog! (email: thevelvetfly@gmail.com)

Happy Memorial Day weekend FLY girls!
