Etsy and a Movie - (500) Days of Summer
Marc Webb, the director of (500) Days of Summer, told the film's costume designer (Hope Hanafin) that he wanted Summer's color to be blue - & he wanted her to be the only character wearing it. So - if you watch the movie, you will see that Summer (Zooey Deschanel) irresistibly flits about Tom's (Joseph Gordon-Levitt's) life in a variety of very vintage-y costumes in shades of that particular color (& a side note - I love that if you zoom in on this picture, you can see a big ol' bandaid on her knee).
Today, I've put together a bunch of vintage Etsy finds, that would fit in quite well with the rest of Summer's clothing (if she really existed)....
starting in upper-left corner, moving clockwise - Old Age / Margaret Pearl Vintage / The Pudding Store Vintage / yolk vintage / Vonlenska Vintage
BeckyDrolen Vintage / marie's vintage / thrush / The Greedy Seagull / Vonlenska Vintage
El Ritmo Retro / greatest friend / dear golden / Advintagous / marie's vintage
allen company inc / Ainslie Wood Co. / Sally Jane Vintage / El Ritmo Retro
(p.s. It's too bad that the movie & Joseph Gordon-Levitt didn't win at the Golden Globes. I did indeed laugh my way through The Hangover, & Robert Downey Jr. is grand... but The Hangover just wasn't as good a movie as (500) Days of Summer, and I wasn't totally mad for Sherlock Holmes. The end!)

Cute post! I never noticed that she was only wearing blue throughout the movie. I'll have to watch it again!
I love this post! That was a cute movie! And I reaaally loved the clothes in it!
This is such an awesome post. I haven't seen the movie yet, but I've been wanting too. Hopefully, it'll arrive via Netflix soon.
i love the movie (i just bought it too!) and the clothes! i'm working on my summer finn wardrobe right now. ;) you've found lots of pretty blue things!
you know, I didn't even notice the blue throughout the movie! I did notice some of her blue outfits, but I seem to miss the obvious...and I (obviously) finally watched the movie...I'm not a huge fan of Zooey D (sorry; I'm a hater), but JGL was amaaaaaazing...and I agree, he should have won...sad face...
Lovely post and I am absolutely in love with your blog! Every single post makes me happy :)
I love that movie, very sweet and feel good and teaches us a thing or two about 'love'.
Aww, this post makes me so happy! I, too, never noticed she was the only character in blue throughout, but now I'll have to pay closer attention on my next watch. (Which will be soon! DVD arriving any day - yay!)
Great finds as always! I'm sure if Summer were real, she'd be all over your picks. :D
