In like a lion… out like a lamb??

Written by ogo on . Posted in Cozy Chic Sweaters

Spring may be just around the corner, but winter is hitting hard, yet again.  Perhaps a late in the season, special sweater, will perk up your spirits and your cold weather wardrobe.  This latest bunch of OgoVintage sweaters has been listed at the OgoVintage etsy shop and the OgoVintage ebay store.  The grouping includes a Sonia Rykiel velour top with gold button detail, an Oleg Cassini Knit Couture pullover with a lion imprint and suede trim, an elaborately beaded and sequined “Cleopatra” collar knit tunic, Lilly, Malo, M.A.G., and more.  Now is not the time to let your glamour guard down… the long, hard winter is nearly at the end.

The devil is in the detail

Perhaps the silk chiffon has a faint metallic gold topstitch that adds movement and gloss to the dress.  The handpainted silk textile of another turns a dress into a work of art the closer you get.  The intricacy of a raffia hand crochet clearly appears at a distance and up close.

The Romance of Lace

Written by ogo on . Posted in Romantic & Seductive

There is a reason why many women choose wedding gowns made of lace.  The glorious Duchess of Cambridge had her friend Sarah Burton, for Alexander McQueen, create a wedding gown covered in lace, perhaps inspired by the lace wedding gown worn by Grace Kelly.  Lace adds instant femininity, on the romantic side in white or pale colors, and on the seductive side when done in black or a jewel tone.  Here are a few OgoVintage lace treasures, with the caption linked to the Etsy shop and the ebay store items available at the OgoVintage ebay store.
