Vintage Inspired Fall Prints and Tami Bloom

My dear-dear friend TAMI BLOOM gave me the cutest print coat this summer. The two-tone silhouette print (similar design to the below dress) is in the ‘of the moment’ grey and a very muted ballet pink. The silhouette print is also a vintage inspired design which I absolutely love! I wore my chic coat to a wedding this summer and I’m planning on wearing it this fall with jeans and trousers too. Prints are usually associated with Spring/Summer collections so it’s refreshing to find so many prints in the new styles this fall. Check out the below vintage inspired prints I recently found online. Oh, and thanks again Tami for not only being the best friend a girl could have, but for being the trendsetter that you are! Love ya gorgeous!


This KARTA print bubble dress is too cool in a darkest brown/yellow combo. I love the retro 50's cowl neckline that ties at the side. Available at standardstyle.com


This GRAHAM and SPENCER print top is perfection in the new neutral combo of navy and pale gray. The trapeze shape with bubble hem ups the style quotient. Available at RonHerman.com

I l-o-v-e the above SEE by Chloe blouses. The styles are sweet and innocent but the funky prints remind me of vintage tablecloths and cafe curtains...which adds to the fun. Available at: standardstyle.com


Pair this Pinball Tunic from LaROK with a skinny pant and heels and you’re ready for an evening out. If you’re in a sassy mood you can wear it off the shoulder as well. Available at shopbop.com

The Alto Print Top by Trina Turk is a sheer silk blouse with puffed short sleeves and button closure at the bust. The teal color looks great on just about every skin tone. 100% silk. Available at standardstyle.com



This sexy tie-neck sleeveless blouse by MILLY looks dramatic in this black/white plum combo don't you think? Available at: RonHerman.com


This Cecilia cami by J. CREW is so striking in this paisley print silk charmeuse. This halter style is so flattering, so flaunt those shoulders, baby!
Here's another option ladies, are any of you crafty and have just the basics of sewing skills down? Better yet, do you have a stash or small piece of vintage fabric stashed somewhere? Then make your own groovy top! I have the below pattern by HOTPATTERNS.COM because I just have to show off some of my favorite vintage fabrics (I just need to find the time to sew)! Oh, and you just can't beat the price!
