Exciting news from the Vintage Contessa family!

We’ve launched a brand NEW show called #LivingtheAuthenticLife Podcast. This show covers everything you’ve been asking us for – interesting stylish personalities sharing authentic journeys of commitment, connection and authenticity. Please continue to join me, live on Thursdays at 10am on Facebook and available across all platforms, as my husband/business partner and I connect with tastemakers to share their unique stories that led them to answer the question, “How do I know it’s real?”

“Get you a woman who can do it all” - @dollyparton 👏🏻💯 In honor of the country legend’s #75thbirthday today we are jumping in on the #dollypartonchallenge 📸 From the karaoke inducing #Jolene to capturing our work week sentiments in her feminist anthem “9 to 5,” #DollyParton has been a musical powerhouse for over five decades ✨ But her sound is not the only thing that has been incredibly influential — her #signaturelook of big hair, giant hoops, and sequined outfits, has given her #styleicon status from the get-go 💅🏻 And even 50 years after her debut album, #Dolly is still inspiring us in music, #fashion, and beyond 💯 Happy birthday to the woman who funded a vaccine, gave us a book, a Christmas special, and an album...all during a pandemic 🙏🏼 🎉

Happy #DitchNewYearsResolutionsDay! 👏🏻 Ahhh New Year’s Resolutions. They’re a great opportunity to really set ourselves up for some magnificent failures and disappointments, amirite? Well, who says life can’t be a walk on the beach? 🏖 Those resolutions had a good 2 weeks, but there comes a time when you just have to acknowledge that some New Year’s Resolutions were unreasonable and unrealistic...like no shopping in the new year? Puh-leeze. 🛍

Nothing makes a #saturyay like happening upon some #slimaarons #styleinspo ✨ The #photographer's iconic images of "attractive people doing attractive things" defined an era and offered an irresistible vision of stylish decadence. From the 1950s to the 1980s, Slim Aarons roamed the world on assignment and inspired #fashiongirls everywhere, stopping at #luxurious enclaves to document the private lives of the rich and privileged 📸 Cut to 2021, where the #SlimAaronsStyle ideal lives on 🙌🏻 Such a celebration of wanderlust has a bittersweet appeal in lockdown, but Aarons, who was previously a war photographer, had no qualms about celebrating fun & what the #worldofleisure should look like 🥂 He once said, “What the hell did we fight in the war for if it wasn’t to make the world a better place to live in and occasionally enjoy?” 💯

Everything is better in pink 🌸 No matter the context, there’s no denying that #pink has a certain charm✨ There are few things in the world that can strike the balance between #fierce and gentle, but the #colorpink does, making it an eye catching addition to any #outfit 💯 Recently, a steady mix of #salmon, #blush, #bubblegum, and #babypink #accessories have been popping up in #handbagcollections from Paris to NYC. The saccharine #hue has gone viral—and for good reason—according to #colortherapy expert @ConsciousConstance, #pink has a special mood-boosting quality, she describes as the #color that “opens you up to self-love.” 💗 And hey, I can personally attest to the smile-inducing effects of a pink #chanelbag 👛

Looking back at all the stuff we were excited to wear in 2020, it’s safe to say we really didn't expect to be spending the year in loungewear 🙇🏼‍♀️ But, for 2021, we've adopted a new attitude: We're back into our #fashionforward ways (even if there's nowhere to go) and we are having fun with our #style again✨ When it comes to #trends, we're aiming for items that are statement-making, while at the same time #classic and #seasonless for ultimate flexibility 💯 With this in mind, one #styletip we’ll be carrying into 2021 — combining beautifully muted tones of creams and nude that can be #dressed up or down for any occasion...or non-occasion...because we are done needing an event invite to look our most #fabulous 💅🏻
