Nothing Says "Breast Cancer Awareness" Like A Crochet Boob Cupcake

Honestly, I don't know why, but Crocheted Little Things makes them and is giving one away in her contest.

Forget Whatever It Is That You're Thinking About Bowling Shirts

I'd take up bowling if I could find a sexy stunning vintage bowling blouse like this heavyweight red satin blouse, manufactured by Powers Athletic Wear in the mid-to-late 1940s!

As the seller, Tiddleywink, notes, this vintage blouse is similar to that worn by the woman at left of this photo from LIFE Magazine.

Fashion Passion For Cashin

 If you were wondering why last year's Bonni Cashin Collection from Coach looked so mod, the designer also worked for the cashmere manufacturer Ballantyne of Peebles (click here for the rest of the exhibit). Oh, and also check out the Bonnie Cashin Coach time line.

"M" Is For Marilyn, Moda, & Moaning

We all know the story of Marilyn Monroe, how her name was created to make her the Mmmmm Girl, well now you can officially add Moda, a brand of DiLiddo & Perego, to the list of things to moan over -- or perhaps even things to moan upon. (Click the photos for much larger images -- to see all the details!)

Beautiful hand painted furniture for your Mmmm Girl Boudoir!

More info on the Marilyn Collection available at Imagine Living -- which carries Moda too!

PS If Marilyn isn't your design scheme, how about these other Moda "Prince" chairs?

Ye Gods! I Want This Vintage Silver Tortolani Bracelet

Maybe I should have said "My Stars!" I want this bracelet because the figures depict all 12 signs of the zodiac -- but since astrology oft includes the gods, I guess the post title is close enough.

 Made by Tortolani in the 50s or 60s, this is a stunning piece of vintage costume jewelry! As the seller says, this 2-inch wide bracelet is "not for the shy or demure." Further proof that I should have it *wink*
