christmas couture

wow how did it get to be midnight already? hi all!  it’s been a long full day and i’m about to shut it down but wanted to post a couple illustrations i came across just now that i thought you’d enjoy.

i’m a sucker for vintage everything so when i fell over these old ads and  illustrations at hprint, i got a little lost. (ok, a lot). take a look at one of the links if you dare (read: have an extra millisecond)

the good news is you can actually buy them so if you do fall in love you can put it on your wish list.

of course this is the tip of the very tall iceberg

the holidays were so glam

(if not a little insipid)

but for the most part, they were exquisitely represented, the sentiment, the sweetness

aside from the fashion, there’s also a ton of clever covers, perfume and jewelry ads from old french mags like la parisienne and le sourire.
