Drew Barrymore's Thrifty Find

Drew Barrymore's $25 Red Carpet Hit

Talk about mixing high and low fashion! What did the adorable Drew Barrymore choose to wear to host the Nylon

magazine/Express party this week in Los Angeles?   

This gorgeous $25 metallic-printed 3/4-sleeve shift dress
from a thrift store paired with $760 Yves Saint Laurent "Tribute" pumps, of course! I love the 1960's vibe she's got going on; the psychedelic print, the cut, and the  pumped-up voluminous feel of her hair is a total win.

It's so refreshing to see someone mix it up and have fun
with fashion. Just last month she made an appearance in an Oscar de la Renta runway dress--a far cry, financially, from an Austin, TX thrift-store find.

Don't you love it when vintage Drew -- the irreverent, quirky, girl power praising, throw-a-daisy-in-her-hair Drew that we all idolized in the 90's--steps out on the red carpet?"

Go Drew!

Big Eyed Beauties

I ran across these beauties at an antique store yesterday.

They were $3 each and I fell in love with them instantly.

I don't have a use for them now, but I have the perfect spot for them in the future!

I know that's ridiculous, but who cares.

Aren't they adorable?

What had me completely sold was when I turned around the one on the left 

and saw the name of the little girl: Emma.

Incase you didn't know, my name is Madalyn Emma.

And you all know I have a thing for names.

AND she has black hair!
We were meant.

At first glance, I didn't even notice the buck teeth. 

Luke pointed it out. And to be completely honest,

I still don't know if I am 100% sold that they are in fact buck teeth.

Still super cute.

If you notice, the artist is Soulet.
I did a little research and couldn't come up with much.
There was only one listing on Ebay for Soulet's prints,
 and only a couple on Etsy.

I did come across a lady's website with some more information on the
big eyed children art movement in the 60's and 70's. Considered kitschy, but
I am a lover of all things kitsch, so naturally I'd be drawn to these precious things.
Jodi has put together a fantastic list of other artists like Soulet,
 but I'm pretty sure Soulet is my fave. Like I need another collection.

So I will now be on the hunt for precious Soulet prints when I'm thrifting.
I have a fabulous project in mind later on (and I mean later on) down the road
that will include these little treasuries.

Great find!

If you ever come across some more, or have information on Soulet let me know! odelmavintage@gmail.com
