Like Val and I, Madeleine Kirsch has had struggles in her life - along with just about everyone else in this world. However; she didn’t just sit back and take it. She stood up and opened one of the most successful vintage stores and has embarked upon a journey to expand her love of vintage and design. All of the clothes at C. Madeleine’s are stunning; they have wonderful shapes and certainly give us that sense of fantasy that Madeleine strives to reach. She imagines it, and it seems to come true!

Here are my fanciful picks out of Madeleine’s clothes and accessories from www.shop.cmadelines.com.

This Carolina is stunning and you just can’t get better than an original Carolina Herrera 1980’s silk dress.

This black cotton dress is simple, yet so chic with its overlay of carwash flaps!

This 1980’s cocktail dress with a large ruffled detail on the right shoulder seems very Carrie Bradshaw to me!

This trench by fabulous designer Bill Blass is so 70’s chic!

This Brocade evening clutch from the 50’s is classy, but with its dose of pattern it can dress up any outfit!

If you’re going to splurge on a designer bag you might as well get one that’s never going to go out of style like this 1980’s Dior!
