I've turned out to be Daddy's little girl at heart My dad has always been my biggest supporter. He pushes me to be "A Cut Above" as we call it and I love that. It taught me the value of hard work at a young age. My dad has earned my respect and trust and I hope I have earned his in return.
In honor of my dad here are some of my favorite trends from the 1950s (his birth decade)
When I think of 1950s the first thing I see is Grease. However, poodle skirts really aren't my thing so I'm going to stick to the dress trends of the 1950s (full skirts, sheath and sack dresses)

hey doll,
what a sweet blog!
i la la love those dresses - gosh, the second one, the ivory & gold and seafoam with polkadots are to die for! im in love haha,
q. im closer with my dad too. we get along better & its more fun to chat with him about anything. i think mom's are generally closer with their boys and dad's with their daughters. but maybe thats different if you're an only child
Those dresses are so pretty; I'd be happy to wear any of them.
I used to feel closer to my dad, but as I've gotten older I think I relate better to my mom.
What great picks-very lovely!!
I am a big fan of vintage fashion and those vintage inspired dresses are awesome.
I absolutely love that white summer dress with the belt. Great post!
im close to both my parents.
probably my dad more.
the 1950s is my favourite era.
i wish i lived then
i adore milkbars
i was ecstatic when i went to johnny rockets - an authentic 1950s milkbar like in happy days.
I love those dresses!!!! The shape of it is awesome!
that blue and gold dress is lovely! and id say I'm closer to my mother, but not very close. I like to kinda keep to myself, funny words for a blogger, but its true.
air, i love that second dress especially. but i would wear anyone of them.
as you probably know, i'm close with my mommy and i tell her everything. and i'm almost equally as close with my dad.
i'm off to new york, so i'll see you when i come back, ok?
cute vintage-y dresses:)
i'm close to both my parents. on certain issues one is better than the other to talk to. My mom helps me with my creative pursuits & boy issues.
My dad helps me with my business ventures and loves shopping with me:)
xoxo
Cute dresses...and I can relate to the mother and daughter fights :)

The 2nd dress is adorable and very Audrey Hepburn-like.I love her!
Cute blog!
Hey great writing, beautiful dresses!
LOVE all these dresses (especially the ones with belts). I've added you to my blogroll!
Love the dresses, all 50s fashion appeals to me with huge skirts and tiny waists. I am closest with my mum, we even go shopping together, which is always great fun!
Such lovely dresses!
I think I'm more closer with my mom...
xx
Such beautiful dresses!
I love all of those dresses, I now have major urges to shop!
I used to be a Daddy's girl, but over the past couple of years my Mum and I's relationship has strengthened immensly whilst my father has grown somewhat indifferent to me. I do miss our relationship, I mean, we get on...but it's not the same.
Sorry to ramble! Your post got me thinking =)
those dresses are lovely!!..
I'm closer to my mom ..she's like my bestfriend....I miss her very much ...:(
Oh this is wonderful. I share a birthday with Audrey Hepburn. I love the black with red buttons and pipeing.
Great blog! Beautiful dresses!
Hi Arielle,
Thanks for popping by my blog. Isn't that amazing, I feel lucky to have my birthday. I would like to ad you to my blogs I love if you want to exchange links.
All the best,
Jacqueline
i love the black and red dress - very rockabilly!
i would have to say i am closer to my mum, but that doesn't mean that we don't argue just as much!!

the first dress is amazing
Fantastic vintage finds!
I love the 3 rd one!!
a kis!!!
Lovel dresses! And thank you for the comment on my blog.
Lovely dresses!
I am the exact same. Me and my dad are so much alike.
Those dresses are amazing, I'll take one of each.
P.S. Thank you so much for your amazing comments.
oh man air!
racking up the comments! kudos
I loove dearly all the dresses on the curly metal holder things and I have to say my dad is def the parent I'm closer with
Those are pretty vintage-look dresses.
About your relationship with your mom . . . things get difficult, and the fighting begins, but she loves you no matter what. I know a girl who is very close with her dad, and that will never change. I think it's great to be close to at least one of your parents; imagine if you weren't close with either one? I wasn't.
great blog! i really like the navy vintage dress.. fabulous!

aww this is such a sweet idea! does your dad read this blog? if yes i bet he would be so flatted! oh and i like the 4th dress its very pretty, the 50s had a great look.
Some really interesting dresses.
And I don't think it is possible for a mother and daughter not to fight.
pretty dresses. and come to think of it, i miss watching gilmore girls!
Hi Arielle, I've added you to my blogs I love. I'm in love with the vintage site....(black dresswith red accents) Thanks for posting this.
Jacqueline
Very nice dresses. I love vintage and vintage inspired.
I have a good relationship with both my parents now. But my mother and I used to have really terrible fights. Looking back it is b/c we're very alike (stubborn and opinionated) and also b/c my father was deployed to Iraq (or some other place we weren't allowed to know about) most of the time. High stress=high emotions=BIG fights.
Oh, and as for eBay, I do have a lot of luck with them. Just read the descriptions closely and pay attention to seller feedback. The biggest disappoints have just been illfit or smelling of smoke.
Hey Arielle,
Saw your comment on Lisa's blog and decided to drop by. :) I work at Glamour in online editorial. If you ever have any q's about the internship process and so on, feel free to ask!
Gorgeous dresses!
I love all of these dresses! So pretty and special.
