Winter Fashion │ Spring Fashion

Much like the rest of the fashion world, I tend to work with items in seasons about 4-6 months ahead.

I realize I've been (constantly) lamenting the lack of cool weather and rain -- and now that we finally have it, I'm focused on Spring items ... and Winter hasn't even begun.

Never fear. I have a perennial love for sweaters and wool and leather and denim, so that will never go away. Even in the middle of summer. My shop is perpetually "winter" stocked, so let that make you happy. And me happy, too!

This gorgeous 1950s cowichan (style) cardigan is coming to the shop soon. While I had intended it to be in today, the zipper needs some work (an overhaul. i.e. new zipper) which is unfortunate. But, once it is fixed and working, it'll be in the shop immediately.

And as for the Spring things, well, if I'm not listing sweaters and denim, I'm listing silks, linens and dresses!

This stack has linen and silk and lots of comfy, soft blouses

and shirts that you will want as soon as the temps begin to rise again. For us here in NorCal, that could be as early as February. But, hopefully not! I want sweater weather for as long as possible.

So, recap: I stock sweaters year round. Have no fear. And Spring will be here in three-ish months, so linens and silk and soft, flowy blouses are in the shop, ladies. As well as dresses ... naturally.

Guys, I'm always looking out for you, too. Short sleeve 80s polos and plaids, along with one-of- a-kind tshirts and denim, it's all there my good friends. It's all there for Spring.

Meanwhile, I've got tons of guys sweaters, plaid flannels and Pendleton plaid shirts available, along with usa made 501 jeans and jackets. Visit today! ◄ And see what I've got.

Happy December, all of you. Happy Wintering. ♥

Perennial Vintage Turns Ten

Winter Sweaters in the Shop It's hard to believe for me, but on November 30th, 2010 I began my foray into the world of Etsy vintage. A lot has changed since then. And I don't mean just in the world. I mean in Etsy itself. When I opened shop a decade ago, there were so few sellers compared to now, and things sold much faster because there was such little competition. But competition is good. It makes us more creative and promotes grit: both of which are necessary for growth and success. And I have to say, this has been THE MOST creative, fun, rewarding, and exciting work I've ever had. I took a hobby and learned to make a little profit from it on the side. Even though this is a business for me now, selling vintage is still my hobby. While it's nice to monetarily benefit from it, it isn't the only reason I do it. The reason I sell vintage is simple: I love vintage. I want to preserve it, research it, wear it, love it, talk about it, and naturally, I want to sell i

How to Jazz up your Wardrobe with Vintage Pieces

Do you like wearing vintage clothing? Or are you still trying to figure out if it’s right for you? Short answer: If you like vintage, you should wear it! It doesn’t matter your age, and it doesn’t matter what kinds of vintage you like, vintage is for everyone. Having sold vintage exclusively for over ten years now, vintage clothing and accessories are a huge part of my life. I’ve integrated them into my wardrobe for daily use: whether the entire outfit is true vintage (meaning every piece I’m wearing is legitimately old), or if the whole outfit is new except for the vintage belt I wanted to sport! But I get asked a lot by folks how to add vintage into their wardrobes and I thought I’d write about it. It’s really not a difficult endeavor to accomplish. It comes down to figuring out what you already wear, and switching out the new for the old. Here are a few very simple ways to add that perfect vintage piece into your wardrobe that doesn’t cost a fortune and makes you feel as unique as
