Bonjour Wishpot users! Isn’t it amazing that there is a place where we can ORGANIZE our wishes and wants!? I’ve always been the girl walking around with wish lists, magazine clippings and catalog tear outs of the things I want, so imagine my overwhelming joy when I found out there was a site where I could keep track of all the lovelies I’m dying to add to my wardrobe.
I’m big on the 1950’s in both wardrobe and home décor. It just seems to fit my personality. We’ve all been getting a healthy dose of the look from out favorite Mad Men heroine, Betty Draper. If you are curious on how to find this sort of look, whether it’s the true vintage pieces or modern interpretations, here are a few items and sites that might suit your fancy.
I’ve found that Etsy is a pretty good place for true vintage pieces such as these:
If you are not a big fan of 50 year old clothes, you can either keep your eyes out in your regular stores for ‘50s silhouette’s or head over to ModCloth, where vintage inspired pieces are in abundance. Like this:
The ‘50’s silhouette is almost universally flattering, which explains it’s longevity in the fashion world. Take it from me, a boyish figured type, a small waisted dress and a full skirt works wonders for a girl!
Also almost as universally flattering is the pencil skirt. Pencil skirts aren’t just for those who have to wear suits everyday either. Finding a pencil skirt in cotton, wool or any colorful material can spice up your wardrobe and add some sex appeal to a boring office outfit! A skirt like this one from J.Crew would work wonders for you, and can be found at a multitude of price ranges!
Take it from me, they called them the “Fabulous 50’s” for a reason!
Come visit me at krameymartin where I share not only tips on personal style, but tidbits about my life, decorating, books, movies and more!
Thank you Kramey!

We have a fun new profile feature to tell you about! We have partnered with Wishpot.com - a free social shopping service that makes it easy to save and share interesting things you find in stores and online - to provide an animated, graphical wish list widget for your Swap-bot profile page. The widget is a fun (and totally optional) way to add a little spice to your profile page while letting your partners know a little more about you.
Wishpot is a free website that allows you to easily create wish lists, registries, or collections of cool things you find online. You can learn more about using Wishpothere. Once you have created a Wishpot account, you can add a graphical wish list to your Swap-bot profile page.
To add the Wishpot widget to your profile, click on the “Edit Profile” option either on your profile page or in the drop down under the Profile link at the top of all Swap-bot pages. On the Profile Edit page you will now find a “Add-ons” link. Click there to find the Wishpot widget option. Below is a screen shot of what you will see on the Add-ons screen:
You must authorize Swap-bot to access your Wishpot account by logging into Wishpot.com via the ” authorize Swap-bot to add a Wishpot” link. You will then be re-directed back to Swap-bot to select which of your wish lists you would like to share on your Swap-bot profile page. You could share you general wish list just for fun, or you could create a special swap-specific wish list just for use on Swap-bot. Wishpot allows you to create multiple different lists and make them private or public as you choose. However, the list and items you display on Swap-bot must be marked as public in order for your widget to work.
Here is what my Wishpot wish list widget looks like:
View my wish list on Wishpot
Once activated, your Wishpot widget will be automatically placed at the very bottom of the text section of your profile page, just above your ratings. Your widget will update automatically any time you add a new item to your Wishpot list. (Wishpot makes it super-easy to add items to your lists with their browser bar button.) You can remove your widget at any time by going back to the Add-ons page in the Profile Edit screen and clicking on the “Deauthorize Wishpot and remove widget from profile” link. Because this is a brand new feature, there may still be a few kinks to work out. Let me know if you have any trouble or questions. In the future we hope to add more widget options that integrate your favorite online services with your Swap-bot account.
Do you like sending and receiving snail mail? Do you like writing letters, making crafts, or putting together fun packages? You should try swapping! Swap-bot is a online service that organizes group swaps and a community of creative individuals. Swap-bot takes the hassle out of participating in group swaps by organizing all of the participant information and doing all of the partner assignments. On Swap-bot, you can host swaps, join swaps, and chat with other swappers from all over the world. Give it a try!
Welcome Swap-bot! Now you can share your Swap-bot stuff on Wishpot!
