Toast to Tosca--throwback thursday!!

So I've temporarily abandoned this blog--I started back up with school and I was trying to finish all the cataloging for the shop so I've just been busy busy. Anyway, I had a fun idea for this blog that would be a great way to tribute my shop to the owner of all these clothes!! I have these boards at my house that were made for the lady(Tosca) that passed away who's clothing I'm selling and on these boards are pictures taken of her in specific items that I'm selling. So as a little twist to throwback Thursday I'm going to share some ultra throwbacks! =) Not only will this be fun, but it will also help authenticate a few of the items in my shop as Vintage and give my customers a glimpse at the wonderful woman who took such great care of these pieces they are receiving.

Throwback Thursday #1

To find dress go to: https://www.etsy.com/listing/103546832/early-70s-vintage-one-arm-ruffled-black

What is amazing is that the slip she is wearing with the dress in that picture she kept on the hanger with the dress I have the dress and the slip for sale together as one item. =)

**DISCOUNT!! For my first shift of seasons I am offering a coupon code on ALL ITEMS in my shop Use code: STAYWARM05 for 5% off any purchase!!! **

The Mule: Power Symbol or Fashion Faux Pas?

Reaching as far back as Ancient Rome the shoe we refer to as Mules carried a status symbol. Due to extreme impracticality you can imagine only those living lavish, luxurious life styles could wear them. In fact, in Ancient Rome only the three highest elected officials were allowed to wear mules (at the time flat, closed toed, backless). Talk about exclusive. Not until the 18th century would Mules appear in the fashion world. They maintained their status symbol thanks to their impractical design, attracting wealthy women. Somewhere along the line mules lost their status symbol when prostitutes began wearings them. However, like many trends they were bound to make a comeback. Who better to set a trend than the iconic Marilyn Monroe. She brought mules to their height in the 1950's. The past 60 years mules have come and gone. Now they're back! We've seen them throughout the year, but they're entering fall with a pointed toe and new colors. Are you a fan of the mule?
