Vintage 365: Wonderfully fun pin-up art pizza platter serves up oodles of vintage style

✯ Day 56 of Vintage 365 ✯

Being married to a fella who was born and raised in Italy, it's a safe bet to say that pizza is common item on the menu at our casa - not of course that I'm complaining, this decidedly scrumptious Mediterranean classic is one of my favourite foods of all time! (Though the Italian mister giggles a little when I order mine with pineapple, adding "We'd never include that back home", as he proceeds to ask for a bite of my pie.)

It's not every day that I encounter an old school style item devoted to pizza, let alone one that includes an immensely pretty piece of pin-up art and the timeless phrase "That's amour" on it, so the moment I saw this awesome Rockabilly Tattoo Ceramic Pizza Platter over at Plasticland, I knew at once that I needed to blog about (and add this stellar serving dish to my vintage wish list!).

This is one of those terrifically fun kitchenware pieces that doesn't take itself to seriously. It's all about looking good and serving (literally!) a very handy purpose: dishing up your favourite pizza in pure vintage tattoo art meets glamorous pin-up girl style.

Measuring 13.5 inches in diameter and retailing for $37.00, this fantastically cool pizza serving platter is sure to be as big a hit in your house as it would be in mine - even if you aren't hitched to one of Italy's native sons! :)

Vintage 365: Awesome sailor tattoo art flats from Plasticland

✯ Day 9 of Vintage 365 ✯

While the chilly, snow speckled world outside many of our doors right now calls for the mandatory wearing of boots or other heavy-duty footwear while facing the elements, there's something wonderfully upbeat (and reminiscent of warmer seasons) about slipping on a pair of ultra cute shoes as soon as you get indoors. Flats fit this bill perfectly. They can literally be tossed into a purse and totted with you to the office, school, a friend's house, on an airplane - wherever you're headed.

The cheerful pair above is a new addition to Plasticland's inventory (where they’re available for $43.00) and one that really caught my eye. I love the fact that these lively shoes are both versatile (thanks to the their mostly white and black palette and classic shape), yet also bursting with vintage (and rockabilly) charm thanks to the sailor inspired tattoo art (of precious little birds) near the back heels.

I could see these awesome nautical style flats (which are vegan friendly and available in standard ladies whole sizes) working with everything from vintage jeans and plaid shirts in the winter to navy, black or red wiggle dresses in the summer - and am sure they would help brighten even the dreariest, snowiest of January days! :)
