Mad Men Collection at Banana Republic

Did somebody say Mad Men? Just who doesn't love the famous hit tv show Mad Men?! I can now finally catch up with all the seasons on Netflix and I'm loving every minute of it!! But if the Mad Men franchise put their name on everything I'm sure I'll buy it up, so when I was flipping through my mom's Oprah magazine and noticed an ad for Banana Republic's Mad Men collection I was soo thrilled!
Finally!! This  is what the world needs less drabby modern and more classic chic!! Don't get me wrong I like a fair share of modern things and clothing and I love to see what's new with the latest designers, but when the fashion world brings back retro, oh you know I'm celebrating!! I personally don't shop at BR, but they do have great well made clothes for a decent price.. I just can't afford it. But believe me if I had some cash I'd definitely go down to the Banana Republic and buy some of this cute stuff up! Oh and it's not just for the ladies, boys grab that skinny tie and slim suit and look fabulous!
I thank the tv gods for a show like Mad Men because everyday it makes the world of today seem like 1960!


I'm loving the advertisements!

They've broken it down just for you!

I think I might like the mens clothing more than the womens?

Two favorite looks from the collection

GlamourPuss

Last month I went to my Uncle's 50th Birthday Celebration held at his wife's family owned restaurant. It was a semi formal event, I'm guessing cocktail but I really pulled out all the stops! Going all out into vintage glamour mode!! I think this has to be the most glamourous I've ever been? I didn't even look this good when I attended prom! Wearing a dead stock (with tags intact) 1960's vintage evening gown that I scored for $5 at the thrift store, 1950's vintage fur cover up that was a family giveaway, vintage handbag $3 from the thrift store, designer heels $5 from the thrift store, and don't forget perfectly painted lips and nails!
Enjoy the pics! 
It's not easy being a GlamourPuss, but someone has to do it! haha

Voila!

Strike a pose, haha ( man my face looks ridiculous)! Parking Lot High Fashion!

No pictures please!

Everyone has a sweet, funny, extra loveable crazy Tia in their family! This is mine, my Tia Margarita! We love a lot of the same things, like the 40's and Dancing! So I took her out on the dance floor, for some Glen Miller! (I just decided, in the future I want to be my family's crazy Tia!)

Towards the end of the night I was falling apart on the dance floor!

Sequins, beading and chiffon! Oh my!

Who's that classy dame?

"What the..."

Say hello to East LA's classiest hyna!! 
(This has got to be one of my most favorite pictures ever!)

Sometimes being this glamourous can make any well composed girl, cranky!


-mucho love
