Re-Mix Melody
The other day I popped into one of my favorite vintage shops, Hollywood Babylon. I hadn’t been in in awhile, and peeked about to see what was new and I ended up coming home with a skirt and a pair of shoes. The shoes I had been drooling over for ages, but they were pricey. Heck, they were by Re-Mix, so of course they were! But Bridget had marked them down, since it was her last pair, and they just happened to be my size. So I took ’em home.
Re-Mix has gotten a name for itself by creating period perfect shoes that have become favorites for vintage lovers and swing dancers alike since they are dead-ringers for vintage shoes from the 1920s through the 1940s, but since they are new, they come in every size! Since a common problem regarding vintage shoes is that they are often tiny. Even finding a size 7 is difficult! What is super swell about these is that they are all leather – inner, outer and sole! So they’ll last me a good long while.
Now that I actually own a pair, I kind of only want to own Re-Mix shoes…Patrick said if I want, he’ll buy me two pairs a year…one for my birthday and one for Christmas. I certainly have my eye on the tooled leather ones!

Oh my god, I love everything about this outfit! You look amazing. That yellow and grey combo with your hair is so gorgeous. I need more skirts like that in my life! 😛 x
Great colors, love the length of the sweater, everything is gorgeous…
Absolutely amazing. I love the shoes, the colors, everything!
You match so perfectly! It’s totally delightful, plus this colour combo looks so excellent with your lovely hair!
I also love Remix shoes!!!! They are pricey but I own 3 pairs for years and i can stil wear them, their quality are really good! I will return to their shop in LA next March for sure!
Size is really a big problem with vintage shoes, I have browse all ebay auctions yesterday for 40’s-50’s shoes and none was in my size: 7.5M…
Gorgeous! And go beautifully with your outfit!
Those colours are so gorgeous on you, I am so envious of how fabulous you red haired girls look in mustard!!! This whole outfit reminds me of The Edge of Love, though it’s probably that mustard sweater in particular 😛
Love your shoes… in fact I love your whole outfit. That colour combination is one of my favourites!
This outfit is PERFECT! length of the skirt and sweater, colour combo, little chain brooch, shoes, everything. Just gorgeous, good work!
What a tremendously lovely, autumn perfect outfit. You look stunning, gorgeous gal, positively stunning!
(And have only further bolstered my burning desire to find a mustard hued lightweight cardi in my size and price range – a hunt that’s been unsuccessful for months now.)
