Deighton Cup 2017

is fast approaching in Vancouver, and we will be there! Not as vendors, but as attendees! Yay!! Always a good idea to mix business with pleasure ;) This event is technically a horse race, but c'maaaan... we all know it's more about the fashion! Here are some looks that we recommend:

Matched Sets

The "Cry to Me" skirt, and "Hula Love" crop top can be found here: http://www.happyyellowdress.com/shop-online/cry-to-me-t75tk They are inspired by vintage and retro styles of the 40's 5o's and 60's and named after the songs by Elvis Presley, and Solomon Burke. The Top buttons up the back, which adds an extra special bit of detail for an event very much focussed on fashion. Now all we need to finish the look is a hat! We like http://hivemindmillinery.com/

Classic Vintage

The Lana Dress, named after the Roy Orbison song, is the perfect vintage inspired look for the deighton cup

The "Lana" dress is an updated version of classic vintage, and can be found here: http://www.happyyellowdress.com/shop-online/lana-yellow-floral This midi length dress is perfect if you're going for that classy look.

Modern Vintage

This wrap dress can be found here: http://www.happyyellowdress.com/shop-online/viola-m It is perfect for the hot summer weather we will (hopefully) be seeing for the Deighton Cup. It is a flowy light rayon, and wraps around the waist to fit almost any body shape! It's fashion for all at happyyellowdress.com

Well that concludes our suggested looks for the Deighton Cup! Mark it on your calendars! July 22nd at the Hastings Racecourse in Vancouver. Tickets can be purchased at http://deightoncup.com/tickets/ and make sure to buy your pretty dress before it's too late!!!

We are obsessed with these vintage style shoes! The easiest way to make a modern summer outfit look vintage, is to throw on a pair of these babies! Shouldn't be too difficult to find a pair, because they are making a HUGE comeback right now. These were made popular in the 1940's by Lauren Bacall in the film Key Largo.

Espadrilles date back to the 14th century in the Pyrenees mountain region between France and Spain, commonly known as the Basque region, (Which apparently boasts the most beautiful humans in the world). They were originally worn by both men, and women, which was also the case in the 40's/50's as you can see in the photo below.

Although they are super popular for women right now, you mark my words: by summer 2017 the men will be wearing these things, like curly mustachios in the 2010's!!

Humphrey Bogart wearing espadrilles. I'm sure the dog would be too if it were up to him.
