When you think of the women that epitomise the spirit and vitality of vintage fashion, Elizabeth Taylor, Sophia Loren and Audrey Hepburn are certainly at the top of an illustrious list. Vintage has come back with a welcomed bang, with the beautiful, timeless style of the 40s, 50s and 60s captivating the imagination of the high street, designers and the appreciators of anything cool.
At this year's highly anticipated Goodwood Revival it wasn't just be the motor cars that received an admiring glance. As well as the circuit staff sporting an authentic look, thousands of spectators made the effort this year, so it wasn't a surprise to see an abundance of women wearing 1950s cocktail dresses and 1960s pleat dresses. The effervescent crowd at this year's Goodwood made it feel more like a movie set, as opposed to a racing track.
The West Sussex-based motor circuit opened its gates on September 1948 and provided the setting for Britain's first post-war motor race venue. Exactly 50 years later to the day, the 9th Duke's grandson, the current Earl of March, re-enacted the opening of the track with Goodwood Revival, and has since seen the biggest names and cars feature on the famous circuit.
To ensure that the masses achieved the perfect, original vintage, Natasha Bailie Vintage Clothing prescribed advice, tips and styles that helped vintage revellers take Goodwood 2009 by storm. Natasha Bailie has been at the forefront of vintage for many years, and has been an ardent Goodwood fan just as long, so when it came to 'getting the look', Natasha was certainly on the right track!
1) The "Vontrapp" Prom Dress incorporates the classic vintage look and is handmade by Brighton designer Amy Phipps. An original 1950s floral fabric has been used to create this beautiful summer dazzler. "This is the perfect dress for idyllic summer strolls and will nestle approvingly into any wedding party," says Natasha. A dress that speaks a thousand words, and all of them good!
2) This 1950s Prom Dress exudes sophistication and charm, and would be the ideal dress to meet that gorgeous man, dine with friends, or even meet the mother-in-law! "This is the perfect Betty dress. Although it's rather prim and proper, it will still make you feel sexy and elegant," says Natasha. This dress will most certainly turn heads on the day.
3) This original 1950s Betty Barclay Prom Dress screams quality and authenticity. The brocade fabric is a clear indication that this dress was once worn by someone with status, and the adorable chiffon layered collar is equal in sophistication. "This is one of my favourite dresses from this period. Quite simply if you wear this dress you will light up any party!" Natasha says. Let's hope they have sufficient fire exits then.
4) This original 1950s Cocktail Dress with its rare black and gold brocade finish is the true definition of glamour. If you happen to be attending a red carpet event in the near future then this is the dress for you. "This is the perfect prom dress for any Betty, and I for one would happily wear it! Natasha says. N.B: This dress would also look fantastic even if your name's not Betty!
Goodwood Revival 2009 has always possessed the history to justify the hype surrounding it, but this year the organisers wanted everyone to make even more of a vintage effort - and with Natasha's passionate vintage styling advice, it's been achieved.

As you gear up for the biggest party of the year, you're definitely going to want to look your best. So what's hot this year in prom jewelry trends? And what are some great pieces that are affordable and stylish? Well, we're here to tell you all that and more…
If you really want to make an entrance at prom, then you've got to have the right jewelry to compliment your gown. Rhinestones are hot, hot, hot this year, with many options to choose from. A necklace is a great place to start putting together your look. Of course, this will depend on the neckline of your dress. If you have a strapless dress, then you'll have no problem pulling the necklace of your choice.
Pendant necklaces can be basic or can incorporate fun charms such as bowties or horse shoes (think Carrie Bradshaw on Sex and the City). If you're looking for something a little more fashion forward, wear an asymmetrical enamel number with an oversized flower to one side. CZ jewelry by the yard can do a great job at picking up the sparkle in your dress, whereas a layered necklace brings attention to your decoration and can be an elegant addition to a simple dress. If you're looking for a little color in your necklace, then try incorporating chunky brightly colored stones with a cascade of rhinestones.
Prom jewelry doesn't always have to sparkle. If you have a busy dress, for example, you may want to choose accessories that compliment, but don't compete with your ensemble. For an alternative look, you can wear chunky necklaces made of semi-precious stones such as turquoise or quartz. Or, try candy colored beads in bright colors such as raspberry or emerald green. Worn with confidence, you're sure to end up on the list of "Best Dressed".
Whatever you choose, your prom jewelry should be fun, fashionable and fit for a queen.
With the coming of the 2010 prom season, more and more girls are hunting the latest prom trends and fashions. They don’t want to miss the golden opportunity to become focus of the prom just because their prom dresses are no longer trendy and fashionable. However, facing such a stunning selection of prom dresses to choose from, it can be difficult to figure out what prom dresses are in style and what dresses are last year’s trends. Here is a guide to some of the hottest prom dress styles.
1. Open Backs. It is a better choice to wear open back prom dress s if you want to be daring on the last night of your high school years. You can find designer looks with a swooping back or straps across your back. But you need to make sure that it follows all of your school’s prom dress rules as well as approval from your parents. Anyway, it is an important evening in your life that is attended by your parents and teachers.
2. Short-Length Prom Dress s. Over the last few years, short prom dresses have grown in popularity and that is no exception for 2009 styles. Instead of a long dress, consider a short prom dress which will show off your fabulous legs and shoes.
3. Bold, Colorful Prints Prom dress s do not have to be a single color with beading or bows like the often were years ago. Prints are extremely popular this year, especially prints that are colorful and bold. Go to the prom dress markets, you can find tons of styles in stunning fabrics combing lines, floral designs, or even animal prints. This is not the year to be subtle with color. Choose any color without worrying about whether it is traditional or not, go for it just because you like.
4. White and Black Options. Even though bold bright colors are popular this year, all black or all white prom dress s are always the classic styles to wear. Usually, the all black or white prom dresses should be accessorized with jewelry in any bright colors such as sunset orange and neon green.
5. Beading Prom Dress s. While in 2007 and 2008 prom dress s with sequins were extremely popular, this year the beading gets above the sequins. Beading on the prom dresses add a little sparkle to the dress s and even create a print using the different color of beads. Of your budget is tight, you can buy a prom dress with little beads on the top parts instead buying an all–over beading prom dress ..
I just introduce some of the prom dress s that are popular this year. Though it is important to follow the new trends when choosing prom dresses, as a rule of thumb, if you like the dress and it fits your body well, wear it and enjoy it. That will make you more confident on the prom if you are satisfied with your own style.
