Shopping Is An Affair To Remember

By Jaynie Van Roe, 13 February, 2009, No Comment

Today’s shopping film quote is, “Winter must be cold for those with no warm memories,” from An Affair to Remember (1957)

Whether or not you have warm memories, whether or not the winter is being kind where you are right now (as it is here), the cold weather will still be hear for a while, so let’s look at a few fabulous vintage coats and jackets.

What woman doesn’t want to wrap herself in a black velvet cape?

If you have pretty party frocks, you’re going to need the proper outerwear to cover it up — just until you get inside the party, I promise! This vintage Hattie Carnegie Blue Silk Princess Coat is so gorgeous that if you don’t have pretty vintage party dresses, you’ll get some, just for the excuse to wear this coat.
