Atomic Swag

Ciao everyone, or I should say ''Howdy'' today! ;)

I'm sure you've heard of Atomic Swag, a California based company that designs and sells the best retro and vintage reproduction T-shirts ever!

What, you haven't visited this shop yet?? Well hop on your horses and giddy up over there (www.atomicswag.com)! Atomic Swag tees are sellin' like hotcakes and it's no surprise; not only are these T-shirts printed with a variety of beautiful vintage designs that'll take you back to the fifties, they're also made the old fashioned way. Made out of 100% cotton, these tees are pre-shrunk and super soft. The nostalgic images are drawn with water based inks so rest assured that the illustrations ain't going nowhere. My cowboy's staying put!

Here I am wearing one of Atomic Swag's top selling tees:

 the Texas State Souvenir Ladies Tee. Isn't it so much fun??

My rockin' mamma, SaucySiciliana, who always wants to appear on my blog, is wearing Atomic Swag's Long Beach Road Race Ladies Tee. She's wearing a size Medium and as you can see below it's a little looser than the size Small I'm wearing, but my mama likes her shirts more relaxed so we're two happy gals.

So many people were eyeing our shirts as we were walking around. Not only because you don't see many cowboys in Italy but because the colors and the designs of these tees are so attractive!

Here I am with a couple of Italian stallions ;)

Ciao a tutti! Le bellissime magliette che mia madre -deve sempre impicciarsi!! :)- ed io sfoggiamo in queste foto sono di Atomic Swag, una marca Californiana specializzata in T-shirt retrò, con stampe mooolto vintage. Queste tees stanno andando a ruba ed il perché è ovvio. Le magliette di Atomic Swag non sono solo retrò, sono fatte pure in manierà retrò! 100% cotone, pre-ristretti e l'inchiostro usato è a base di acqua, quindi le immagini non sbiadiscono. E che immagini! In questo negozio troverete altre magliette divertenti con immagini nostalgiche di ragazze pin up, dal Nevada alle Hawaii. Offrono anche magliette per uomini e bambini e il servizio è davvero impeccabile. Tre aggettivi per descrivere le tees di Atomic Swag: retròissimi, accativantissimi e morbidissimi. 

Grazie alla spedizione in tutto il mondo, adesso un po' del vecchio West e la California Long Beach sono arrivati in Italia :)

*************************************************

If I had to choose three adjectives to describe Atomic Swag Tees, I'd say: so retro, so eye-catching and so soft. So is an adverb, right?? My mom and I just love the fun, old school prints, the excellent quality and the flattering cut of these tees. 

You'll find many other playful, vintage style, Americana T-shirts at Atomic Swag, including images of pin-up girls, Davy Crockett, wild cats and much more. It's like a dream shop for vintage lovers! Tees for men and kids are available too and to top it off, Atomic Swag's staff is so friendly and sweet. Thanks to worldwide shipping, a bit of ol' Texas and Long Beach California has come to Italy :) 

Stay tuned for new designs by keeping your eyes glued to Atomic Swag's site!

A New Vintage Dress

Original source here

I found the below dress (ca. 1960s) at a flea market in Rome. I wasn't looking for anything and wasn't even planning on going to the flea market. Yet the moment I laid eyes on it, I knew it was there for me! I guess that's when something beautiful appears in your life.... when you least expect it! 

******************************************************

Ho trovato questo vestito vintage anni '60 al mercatino dell'usato a Roma. Non cercavo niente di particolare quel giorno e neanche avevo pianificato di andare a questo mercatino. Eppure quando ho visto il vestito, sapevo che era mio. E' così che la vita ti mette davanti una cosa bellissima...chi non cerca, trova! 

Me with my mama. She's my best 'vintage' accessory!!! Don't worry, she approves this label! <3

***********************************

Mia mamma è il mio accessorio 'vintage' preferito in assoluto!!! ;))

Isn't the print cute? There's a girl on a yacht, baskets, binoculars... a very summery motif!

So, what is something you found unexpectedly, that had your name written all over it?? It could be an object, food, a job or even a person! :)

******************************************************

Allora, qual'è una cosa che avete trovato, inaspettatamente, che il destino vi ha portato?? Potrebbe essere un oggetto, cibo, lavoro oppure anche una persona! ;)

Buon Weekend~

Did somebody say milkshake?

Just say the word 'milkshake' and I'll come running! My mother uses this trick to get me out of the house. It works without fail. 

   *****************************************

Dite la parola 'milkshake' (ovvero frappè) e io ci sarò in un lampo! Mia madre usa questo trucco per farmi uscire di casa e funziona benissimo.

I (unwillingly) let my mother have a sip of my milkshake. She runs a blog too, here!

Anyone seen the movie Pleasantville ? :)

What's your favorite milkshake? I like vanilla, chocolate-peanut butter, oreo....oh, I like 'em all!
                                       **********************
Qual'è il vostro frappè preferito? A me piace alla vaniglia, al cioccolato e burro d'arachidi...tutti i gusti insomma.

Non c'è niente di meglio di trascorrere tempo con il mio pupo, Rocky. Voi che siete amanti degli animali capirete! :)

Mad Men Inspired Secretary Outfit

I am a Mad Men afictionado. This American TV series is set in the 1960s at an advertising agency and the clothes the characters wear are out of this world!  Do you watch the show?

I watch it for the clothes, the music....and Don Draper. <--Click on his name to see a picture of Don preparing a martini.
                                                
                                           ****************
Sono una grande fan di Mad Men. Questa serie TV Americana è ambientata negli anni '60 in un agenzia pubblicitaria e i vestiti che indossano i personaggi sono fa-vo-lo-si. Voi seguite questa serie? 
Io la guardo per gli abiti, la musica....e Don Draper.

What do you think, do I look like Peggy Olson??
