KJL FOR TIMELESS STYLE

This necklace is Kenneth Jay Lane, but with a twist! It's stamped KJL for Avon. We've had variations of the same necklace, including one that is featured in the current issue of In Style magazine. (The necklace has sold but we have included a picture of it for your reference).

This is a perfect early 70s glam-a-zon necklace in fun primary colored glass encased in gold metal trim and linked by a gilt chain. It's very Decades. It's very YOU!

Below please find the KJL for Avon necklace that is now SOLD, but is featured in the current issue of In Style

NORMAN, IS THAT YOU?

One of our favorite pieces of iconic 20th Century American fashion are the legendary Norman Norell mermaid dresses that were famously designed in the 50s and 60s. We all remember the dynamic midnight blue Normal Norell halter mermaid that Marilyn Monroe wore which simply oozed sex-appeal. The Norell mermaid is quintessential American evening attire. Light as a feather as the pailettes are pain-stacking to apply with a careful hand sewn technique to the silk jersey base. This strapless version is in a delicious forest green and comes with a gift with purchase: a useful coordinating cardigan that you can mix with other pieces in your wardrobe.

Jump into Yves Saint Laurent!

Calling all Elite Petite Cadets! Decades supports our troops in Yves Saint Laurent, of course! Forgive the rather dismal photos, but our anonymous super model (all models at Decades are super, of course) only had moments to spare and seeking a slim and petite wonder woman to showcase these two Yves Saint Laurent jumpsuits required precise moments, albeit, with dismal lighting.



Most blog readers are very aware of the Yves Saint Laurent oeuvre so we hope you can identify the iconic "Le Smoking" in a black wool jumpsuit format with satin lapel. For those ready to take flight, the grey flannel YSL Variation jumpsuit is perfect for skydiving adventures from you G550 this holiday season. All candidates for these two jumpsuits should be under 5'2" with slim hips. We don't use the term Elite Petite casually!

Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche "Le Smoking" jumpsuit. SOLD
