I realize that this window is a bit of a stretch in the colour compatibility department. I guess I’m just feeling wild and risky this week! Or, it’s that I just had to showcase these beauties before they find new homes and leave us behind. I’m totally head over heels in love with the Oscar on the right! The feather and tulle hem is so feminine and it reminds me of  that robin egg blue Chanel confection that we had back in 2014. The Prada in the centre isn’t too bad either…

We didn’t quite know what to call this colour…… Ice blue, steel blue, slate blue or periwinkle blue? We decided to settle on powder blue, as it’s soft with a hint of grey. The Prada dress on the left is one of ten incredibly beautiful dresses that we received in this week. We hope to feature them all for you  in the window before they sell. There are some really exquisite pieces from houses like Chanel, Oscar and Valli just to name a few. Pop in soon for a peek!

When black’s not right, why not navy? The non-neutral but yet neutral shade… Check out the crazy Walk Away Factor™ on that dress to the right. Its button up racerback is stunningly chic, especially forward for it’s time considering that it’s from the 1970’s. Perfectly flirty and guaranteed to drop jaws!

L~Contemporary french silk dress with hand beading, size 10-12.

C~Prada cotton print dress, size 4-6. Sold

R~Rodrigues 1970’s silk chiffon dress with fab back, size 2. Worn with a 1960’s crystal and poured glass necklace.

Now that sweater weather is gone you probably need to up your coat game. Or, if you’re like us, you may have developed somewhat of a coat/jacket habit. We feel we have graduated out of the shoe addiction phase (maybe?) and have moved forward responsibly onto crisp weather attire. Perhaps shoes are the gateway drug of the fashion world and now we’re onto the harder stuff? Who knows, we don’t want to question it! We just want to feel the comfortingly warm effects it has on our bodies and the compliments from passerbys. Need to fuel your wants and/or needs? Please see below↓

We’re fully stocked with lots of sparkly tops and skirts to help you complete your holiday party look(s). Enter the room in a luxe purple & gold combo to dazzle them this season. Fun fact;  since ancient times Tyrian purple (also known as royal purple, imperial purple or imperial dye) is a purple-red dye, which is extracted from sea snails. It was first produced by the ancient Phoenicians as early as 1570 BC. It took as many as 250,000 mollusks to yield just one ounce of usable dye. Clothes made from the dye were exorbitantly expensive—a pound of purple wool cost more than most people earned in a year—so they naturally became a status symbol of the rich and powerful. The struggle was real for poor purple lovers. Fast forward to the 1850’s~scientist (and snail hugger) William Perkin stumbled upon inventing the first synthetic dye, that being purple. The masses could now indulge in wearing the once unachievable colour and the snails rejoiced anointing Perkin their King.
