NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION: GO BOTTOM LESS

Maybe we should change the title of this post, but regretably, if one trend emerged in 2007, it was a flash of the crotch. Seriously, is there a tween star who didn't show the world her private parts? Well, this posting is for you...for the stars who got DUIs (albeit DUIs issued to underage drivers!); the stars who went to rehab and rehabbed again and again; the stars who got pregnant and had a guessing game as to whom their baby's daddy was; but really it's about the stars who managed to exit every taxi, town car, limo, SUV, and Prius, and managed to show us where the sun don't shine and how often they see their bikini waxer. We thank you stars of tomorrow. Who from this batch of supreme talent will be the next Marilyn Monroe, Rita Hayworth, or Grace Kelly?

If we seem a bit sarcastic, a bit too dry, and bit bitter, forgive us. May the three tops below remind you of glamour. If you want to end up in US Magazine, simply where the Yves Saint Laurent, Valentino, or Versace with no bottoms and no panties. Britney Spears this is for you, sweet spirit!
Yves Saint Laurent black velvet tunic with jeweled cuffs. SOLD
Valentino Boutique late 70s scoop tunic with emroidered Roman God motif in cashmere. Jeweled on both front and back, as well as sleeves. Modern 4 -6 SOLD
Gianni Versace iconic late 1980s fetish bondage bodysuit with criss cross leather straps with jeweled buckles. Marked size 40. Modern 4 - 6 SOLD

CHARMING CHANEL

This will be one of our last blog entrees of 2007. We feel the beginning of a tear forming, but we promise to be strong.

Here are some great Chanel vintage 80s/early 1990s "charming" options that will never go out of style, always be collectible, and probably be on your nightstand every night since these are the type of jewels that one wears EVERY day!

TOTALLY CUTE KELLY!

This Hermes gold 25 cm Swift Leather Kelly has never been used. Brand new and in the box from 2006 (J Stamp) with gold hardware. It's as if you bought it from Hermes, where the bag retails for around $4850. You will pay around the same price for it at Decades, but who knows where you can find this particular bag at Hermes these days following Christmas. Plus, if you don't live in the State of California, we can ship it out of state or out of the country and save you tax (around $400).

Since we get so many blog requests from out of the country, please note YES, we ship Globally, but we have several security measures to protect us from mail order fraud. All clients who pay with a credit card are required to send us copies of the back and front of the card along with a letter authorizing Decades to charge the appropriate amount for their purchase. We only ship to the billing address associated with your credit card and may request that you send us a copy of your latest credit card statement showing your billing address clearly on the statement. We know it's a lot of work, but we are worth it and we don't want anyone unscrupulous to steal the identity of any of our beloved Decades clients! You can also pay with a wire transfer, too :)

Hermes 25 cm Swift Leather mini kelly in gold 2006, J stamp UNUSED SOLD

MIDNIGHT BLUE CHANEL

Certainly you know of our obsession with all things in midnight blue. It's one of the great alternatives to dependable black, but with a little relief. This Chanel Boutique by Karl Lagerfeld evening gown from the late 1980s features thick straps, a pleated bodice with a wonderful blouson waist. We love the "Cowl"-effect of the back and how the skirt (check out the flat pockets on the hips) gatherers to a fishtail illusion at the knee and a sensible slit. This is a very accommodating and flattering dress, too. If you are the type who always is drawn to black, may we suggest a detour to midnight blue.
Chanel Boutique midnight blue silk evening dress c late 1980s marked size 38. Modern size 6 to 8 SOLD

HERVE LEGER COUTURE

We decided to post this Herve Leger Couture iconic bandage dress back to front, but it wasn't intentional, to be perfectly honest! There are no mistakes in life, so we have realized that the shoulder line is so fantastic that it almost gets a highlight by looking at the dress from the back. But the front is amazing (dig the zig zag bandage detail) and the side profile is pretty incredible, too. This dress is the Couture label and was retailed at Bergdorf Goodman in the late 1980s or very early 1990s...at the height of Herve Leger's moment. Now that Leger is having yet another moment, 18 years later, we hope one of our blog readers will be thrilled to have an original in a fantastic shade of very light powdered rose.

Herve Leger Couture powdered rose iconic bandage dress, marked size S. SOLD

ALAIA FOR RIGHT NOW

We've been posting a lot of Herve Leger in the last few months, but here is an Alaia dress that is perfection to wear on a sexy Saturday night. One percent wool with ribbed sleeves and mini detail and a versatile zip-up the front...there's something about a zipper that is always very "kiss and tell." Great with tights and high boots. So many ways to wear this dress and it will keep you warm and sizzlin' "hot"!

Alaia 80s black wool long sleeve ribbed mini dress with zip front. Marked size L, it stretches, but fits more like a modern 4 - 6 SOLD
