The House Of Hearts Vintage Fashion

Well I do not feel  the need to introduce myself since Alley Kat did such a great job! But here is a bit about me, my name is Crystal and I am the women  behind The House Of Hearts.  I started selling vintage clothing after some encouragement from my boyfriend Paul and not feeling full satisfied working full time P.R. for a web development company. So The House of Hearts was created!

I do a weekly blog called Vintage Fashion Friday’s where I pick a theme that has inspired me through out the week and find great vintage pieces from many different Etsy Shops.  You can check out my blog here.

So without any further ado I present the Funky Fabrics Edition of what is usual Vintage Fashion Friday’s (but who doesn’t like Friday treats a little early right?)

My fashion is very influenced by the 80’s maybe because I grew up in the 80’s and I still have this connection with the fashion. This amazing piece can be found at Alley Kats Store. This item is what inspired this theme. I love the color pallet of the 80’s and the patch work of this fabric is amazing!

I have been itching to go somewhere warm as it is starting to become cooler and cooler here in Montreal. This great 60’s Blue Vintage dress made in Hawaii makes me think of sitting on the beach drinking Mai Tai’s… Mmmm. This great piece can be found at Plumm.

This abstract floral and paisleys patterned 60’s Maxi Dress with Palazzo Pants reminds me of a style my mother wore as I was growing up (but she was a very classy lady and usually only wore simple patterns and solid colors). This great find along with others can be found at Flannery Crane.

This simple but funky 60’s bright yellow mini with orange lily pattern makes me want to put a put on a pair of brown knee high boots and go go-go dancing! This sassy little number can be found at Thrush.

This is such a 70’s Pave de Paris Orange Mosaic Cut Out Long Gown is so unique one picture does not do it justice (please click on the image to see the sides as they are cut out!) From it’s orange and yellow tones, square mosaic patter print to criss-cross pattern cut outs at the mid drift.  This unique is fit for royalty and can be found at  Regal Vintage.

I love this blouse for it’s shape and color pallet of teal, mauve, lavender and brown with moths and butterflies pattern.  If it’s the office or a day out shopping this blouse is beautiful anyway you look at it! Found at Jess James Jake.

This skirt is my favorite with it’s great pattern of paisley, floral and feather patch work in navy, red, fuchsia and golds.  I feel as though this pattern is a very good representation of me as a person. All over the board but when put all together it works well together. This great skirt can be found at my shop The House Of Hearts.

Thank you for looking at my funky fabric finds this week and a special thank you to Kat of Alley Kat’s for asking me to be a contributor.  Check out all the great shops listed above for more amazing vintage finds!
