We think our new champagne window is just as effervescent  and sweet as the French beverage. We’ve come upon this conclusion after studying the reactions of passersby on the sidewalk. It’s all math really…. Pedestrian speed x fashion stimuli / dopamine increase = goodness.

Happy Chinese New Year everyone! Over the years we’ve come across some incredibly embroidered Chinese textiles and are always in awe of their fine embroidery. This week’s window features two jackets that are great examples of this. The one in the middle would have been worn by a bride on her special day. We know this because of the phoenix and dragon on it which symbolizes the wife and husband. We date it to around the 1950’s. Guessing by the hundreds of hours of hand stitching on it, this jacket would have belonged to a very affluent lady. Click pic to zoom in on this one of a kind gem!!

This post is brought to you by the 1960’s. It was a decade of big cars, smoking while pregnant and one income families. While those times are long gone some great things have survived, like these LBD’s. Forever classic, they truly transcend time. ‘Fashion fades, only style remains the same.’~Coco Chanel.

Since you’re probably already done decorating your tree by now, why not decorate yourself with one of these sequin and paillette encrusted numbers? Centre beauty is non-other than Oscar, who is accompanied by two 1960’s shift dresses.

What do you get when you mix gold with silver? A precious sandwich? Healthy stock ownership? We think it’s more of a ultra lux look.  You really can’t go wrong if you throw on all of your metal with one of these dresses. It’s fool proof.  Centre and righty are both Oscar.
