It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Fall





 
As much as I love summer and all of its beer-soaked, sundress, food-cooked-on-the-grill glory, there is something quite comforting about fall. It's getting to be that time again where we go back to school, get back to reality, and bundle up with a cozy sweater and a latte. It's beginning to look a bit like fall at the La Poubelle Vintage HQ with some seasonal transition pieces trickling into the shop. Here are some of my favorites. [All images are linked]

Vintage Bunnies













Ok, so we all know that Playboy magazine is increasingly misogynistic and degrading but there's still some lingering allure for me about Playboy Bunnies from the '60s. Right? The outfits! The hair! The winged eyeliner! Don't you wish you could be a fly on the dressing room wall at one of the original Playboy Clubs? After digging through lots of old Bunny photos, I cam across this Playboy Club Bunny Manual from 1960. A few fun tidbits: Bunnies got paid just $1.25 per hour for photo shoots, were expected to look "Bunny perfect" while at work, and weren't allowed to date or socialize with club members. Serious business, being a Bunny!
