Isn't she a beaut?


Vintage 1960s cocktail party dress, with a self fabric belt, 
ruffled hem, nipped waist, back zipper and matching ruffled shawl. 
From Miss Elliette California.


I love the three tone greens: moss, celery and sage.


The ruffles are outrageous. I love this dress, so I decided to give her
a little special feature!

Also, I'm having a sale!

SALE: 20% off the entire shop w/ coupon code BIRTHDAY

a guest model + new equipment


So, I got a new camera! It's pretty great, and although I'm still learning, I wanted to share some of my first pictures with you! I'm very lucky that my friend and fellow vintage-enthusiast, Kater, was willing to be my guest model for this shoot. She looks amazing in everything, and for this shoot, we did mostly hats and jewelry so that I could work on my macro and portrait shots.








 Grabbed a little extra sunshine for this black hat since the satin was only a few 
shades darker than her brown locks.



(I've been nagging her to give us an eyeliner tutorial.)



All of these items will be in the shop shortly! Thanks to the lovely Kaitlin of AllThisHappiness for being the prettiest model around! She's wearing a vintage dress from her personal collection, her nail polish is June (a true coral) from Chanel, and her lips are Niagara by Nars. Stunning!

Mad Men Casting Call Finalists: Andrea wearing jessjamesjake!






I just received a convo from a long time customer letting me know 
that she's a top 10 finalist for the Mad Men Casting Call!!

 Guess what else? She's wearing a vintage sweater she bought from my shop! 

Andrea (pictured above) is the 3rd finalist here.
Also, the Mad Men blog surrounding the casting call has more updates!

The voting round is over, and the Mad Men walk-on role 
will go to one of these finalists! I must admit, it'd be awesome to have the winner 
say they got part of their winning outfit at jessjamesjake!



The original transaction: 1950's Saffron Sweater, http://bit.ly/bEQVSW 

Much like the sweater below, on Christina Hendricks:

Mad Men styles in my vintage shop!
