Loving THIS today


My Favorite thing today ... The print on this Tori Richard swimsuit simply makes me smile ! The bust has that wonderful shaped pleating that makes for a perky pair .
Vintage swimsuits are just so much more flattering and sexy. Every other body on the beach is showing enough crack and cleavage to keep the creeps leering for days , but a classy chick can look great ,have fun , relax and simply BE cooler than any other babe on land or at sea.

My favorite Item in the shop right NOW....


This pretty number reminds me of home in many ways, it recalls my fathers proud family who worked in the citrus crops and packing houses of the central valley . I remember the drive to grandmas house in Woodlake California was always surrounded on either side by the endless citrus orchards. Grandpa had a few trees in the back yard , I still think of him when I see them .
I still look forward every year to the winter crop of juicy oranges .
This watercolor print modernistic purse is as sweet as any orange i've ever had! Circa 50s to early 60s its roomy - another thing I love/need in my vintage bags .

Got the Midcentury bug ? Dig this site ...

Lushpad.com is a buy sell etc. site for Midcentury home decor and furniture. The site just looks so inviting, clean, and easy to explore. Looks like they are kinda new so there isn't a ton of stuff on there- but if i were you i'd get in on the groundfloor ! http://www.lushpad.com/

The El Rancho Tropicana hotel resort was a sprawling complex here in Santa Rosa - sadly bulldozed int he mid 90s to be replaced by a Target, best buy , costco old navy, Trader Joes etc... What used to be a place of architectural interest , with multiple cocktail lounges, pools and restaurants is now a carbon copy of every other town you've ever been to. Sigh...

One of those now forgotten bars was the Bamboo Room , a polynesian themed bar, that I dearly wish was still here. I need somewhere to wear all my Hawaiian Dresses !Even though its winter, Hawaiian dresses never go off season at Skirt Chaser Vintage or Senorita Hollywood.com in fact here is our newest offering , hopefully your hometown still has a polynesian pop bar, or you have a home Tiki bar ( a real vintage one not the kind bought at the Longs or Home depot - cringe !!)




















Yours truly was lucky enough to pick up a 50s hawaiian Sarong for myself this week . Its a sarong style with pineapples and little fishies and I found it at Decades on Haight street . I was happy to see that their prices are much more resonable than I remember , but they still have an amazing selection of mostly pre 70s vintage, so you dont have to dig through a bunch of 80s like many vintage shops these days !
Update: this pretty blouse is now sold...
We HEART this pretty rayon 40s blouse .we think this is perfect for your Valentines day outfit , and what better way to celebrate love - or looking for love? (In my opinion , the fun part !) .
its a silky rayon - maybe silk , but I am so over doing burn tests on everything . Its a roomy XL so curvy sweethearts take note !
Available at our shop Skirt Chaser Vintage Santa Rosa Ca...

Keep your Hoo-Ha Cozy this winter


I share a wall with a Bikini Waxer , took me a while to understand the shrieks, the squeals and the spontaneous singing .Now I know it's all in the pursuit pre-pubescent splendor. So in honor of you Brazilian babes , who endure a moment of pain for a couple of weeks of smoothness , I present the thrilling hoo-ha cozy dress .

Curve hugging wool , accented by a swirl of fluffy fur that orbits the hips and bottom . Sure to keep your fur free zone toasty this winter.

In all seriousness , it is a HOT little dress - and not to be missed this season.
