New Arrivals

Just some new arrivals for Summer, I love all these great 40s and 50s dresses. Each one is the perfect thing to wear to a wedding, a picnic or date with your newest crush. These are all a 28 to 29 inch waist so they're a wearable modern size too!

Father's Day

Father's Day is this Sunday and Dan and I are heading to a BBQ at my dad's lake house. I'm excited because it's been a couple of years since I saw my dad on Father's Day weekend.

In the shop we have a handful of cute cards for your dad and even some kitschy vintage ones! There are also handmade wallets, beard balm, art prints, ties and tie clips that would all make great gifts for dear old dad. Come by this week and take a look!

Vintage Inpiration: Alexey Brodovitch

 

A little Monday inspiration by photographer and art director Alexey Brodovich. Sometimes you just need some gorgeous magazine covers and fanciful behind-the-scenes ballet photos to get you through the day. Time at the shop has been flying by lately, I can't believe we're approaching our one year anniversary in the brick and mortar location. Today I'm following the lead of that last Harper's Bazaar cover, putting on some red lipstick and sunglasses and taking it easy.

Meg Hunt Window Installation

 

I'm definitely starting to feel spoiled over here with all the beautiful window displays we've had in the shop. I guess it's a good thing that this is the last one (for a while at least) so I can get use to doing some of my own again! Meg Hunt installed her window on Tuesday and all the colors and intricate paper cutting turned out gorgeous.

Meg created a giant Firebird out of cut and painted paper. He's a wonderful companion to the peach and orange dress she chose to go with him. She also has lots of her cards, notebooks and prints for sale this month in the shop in addition to her limited edition lavender sachets in cotton fabric designed by Meg!

We're having a First Friday party for Meg, as we do for all our artists. It's tomorrow, Friday June 7th from 5-9pm at the shop. Here's the facebook invite with more info. Our buddies at Captured by Porches will be supplying the beer and I have some wonderful new dresses, including more Velvet Bird fox dresses, in the shop that you can check out while you socialize. I hope to see you there!
