The temperatures are rising high enough for many to abandon all sense of fashion and jump right into the shorts and t-shirt look. Here are some great picks for tops and dresses that can keep you looking hot while feeling cool during these simmering summer months.
Tank Tops
The key to a cool tank top is to pick breathable fabric that is also washable. Dreamy Designer Sweet Pea’s signature nylon mesh is a great choice for summer. Like this 4 Tiered Ruffled Ruffle Tank in rain (blue).

This tank if full of flirty fashionable details but is soft and comfortable enough you will feel free and easy in it. This tank is perfect for an outdoor bbq or even a a hot day at the park.
One of Vintage Fringe’s newest arrivals is also a perfect pick for a hot summer day. Collective Concept’s trendy Racerback Flared Tunic Top is a great example of California style summer clothing. First this nuetral color is both trendy and smart for hot summer days. This tank is loose but has so many flattering details like the beaded straps, tunic length, and racerback. Wear this tank anywhere this summer and you will stay cool and oh so stylish.

Short Sleeve Tops
Splendid no doubt had hot summer days in mind when designing it’s Navy Slub Shadow Stripe Waist Tie Top.

The wide sleeves and signature jersey slub fabric makes this short sleeve top a great choice on a hot day. I also love how Splendid infamously makes a clean and modern statement with color choices that are both flattering and classic. Pair this top with khaki bermuda shorts or denim capris… the options truly are limitless.
Designer Dresses
On those scorching summer days summer dresses are the coolest choice to make.
I love love this Modal Jersey V Neck dress also designed by Splendid

You can feel cool and trendy in this adorable jersey dress in blueberry (light purple). This dress has a flattering empire waist, is machine washable, and is the perfect length for a cool summer dress.
From tanks to tees and even dresses, being hot is no excuse for not being fashionably adorable. Don’t miss Vintage Fringe’s Summer Steal’s Sale where you can get 30% off everything until July 28th.

I have always been a fan of Sweet Pea Clothing, the light weight chic designs are perfect for summer. Vintage Fringe has some great fashionable items from them and I just have to share them. First, is this perfect for every body type little black Wrap Dress. I love the faux wrap design, and the deep v neck is elongating and therefore flattering. Black is the perfect backdrop for all types of bright and bold summer accessories, go nuts with shoes, bags, bangles, necklaces and this dress can look different every time you wear it!

Ok, so this next top has two things that the dress above has as well, a faux wrap and a v-neck. When something works, stick with it! The Surplice with Flower Top is ultra flattering and the flower detail is oh so cute! The would be perfect with jeans, skirts, shorts, just about anything and again the basic color is a great bast for fun and funky accessories.

The last top I want to highlight has a very cute print and with gathered sides, is again ultra flattering. The Combo Lined Gathered Top by Sweet Pea has a black under layer, with a white layer on top. I love the loose sleeves, perfect for warmer weather.

Alright ladies, we all know that they economy hasn’t been doing so well lately and that money needs to stretch even further then it did before. I love the high quality, designer clothing that Vintage Fringe has, but I love even more the awesome sales on those clothes found in the outletsection. A great way to save even more money on clothes is to buy things for next season, or winter now, as they will usually be largely discounted. Vintage Fringe Outlet as a bunch of cute things like sweaters and long sleeves that will be great for fall and winter at crazy prices, snatch then up now! Here are a few outlet items that would be great for right now:
Variegated Stripe Loose Jersey Dress / Top by Splendid
This Variegated Stripe Losse Dress/Top by Splendidis great for summer going with anything from bermuda shorts, white jeans, or a swim cover up. The lightweight, high quality cotton, striking color combination, and deep v in front and back all make this top ideal for warmer weather.
Boyfriend Stripe LS Buttonup Top by Splendid
Although this Boyfriend Stripe LS Buttonup Top by Splendid is styled for cooler weather in the picture above, it would work just as beautifully for summer. It is ultra sheer and therefore perfect for over a cute cami or once again even over a swimsuit.
Dolman Sleeve Hoop Top by Sweet Pea By Staci Frati
Lastly, this Dolman Sleeve Hoop Top by Sweet Pea By Staci Frati is such a sweet print and I love that it is darker in color so that it is not too sweet. This light weight top would be perfect for summer days and nights. Don’t let being on a budget stop you from being super chic and your best self!

Don’t worry I am not talking about swimsuits just yet {prepare yourselves, the time is coming soon} but rather the cute things we wear on top of swimsuits. Since it isn’t quite full blown summer just yet any swim outing will probably require some sort of cover up and depending on the type of gal you are you might always require a swim cover up so lets look at some fashionable, versatile, and comfortable options.
Ok, first we have the full coverage of a maxi dress, which is super flattering for most body types. I love this Ella Moss Hollie Racerback Maxi Dress because it is casual enough for the beach yet elegant enough for a night out. I love pieces that can work for lots of occasions and this dress surly does that. Imagine it with aviator sunglasses, beaded gladiator sandals and a bright yellow bag-cute!
If you want something that shows a little more leg, try this ultra cute Sweet Pea Sleeveless Empire Waist Dress. Again the empire waist is a flattering cut that hides imperfections, and can easily transition from beach to going out. This dress can completely change looks with different accessories.
Sweet Pea Tunic U Neck Top
For those of you that are daring enough to show a bit more leg, I love this Sweet Pea Tunic U Neck Top, perfect for throwing on over white jeans right after a fun day at the beach. The bold black and white print is classy yet youthful.
So what is your cover up style? Less is more? Or more is more?

The sun is shinning and tank tops are out in full force. Unless you have been living under a rock, you probably notices how many a celebrity have been showing some very toned arms lately. Buff or toned arms are the thing right now and to show off all that hard work tank tops are everywhere. First, lets get a little arm inspiration and then I will show you some darling tanks to showcase your own arms! Jessica Biel showing off her fabulous arms.
Jessica Biel = ripped arms
I am loving the berry color and ruffle detail{which is super hot right now} of this Sweet Pea by Staci Frati 4 Tiered Ruffle Tank. It is a very versatile top, which as you know I am all about anything that goes easily from errand running to date night.

If you are looking for a very casual, very typical California style, check out this Kelisha Long Tank Top by Velvet. Yes, it is very basic, but the extra length makes it perfect with skinny jeans and think of the accessorizing possibilities. Gladiator sandals, and over sized hobo bag and long necklace would be oh so chic!

If ruffles or basic aren’t your thing, go check out Vintage Fringe to see some more cute tank top options. Now go do some push ups and show off those fab arms of yours!

In fashion, color, pattern, and texture are all a part of the current trend and this spring we are seeing more and more pattern. Some big, some small, but pattern and lots of it. There is anything from floral, to the newer watery effect dresses that many celebrities have recently been spotted wearing. If you are someone who sticks to the basic solids, now is the time to dip your toe into the fun world of pattern. Something that is not too scary to try is black and white pattern, I really like the leafy almost damask print of this Belted Ruffle Top from Sweet Peaby Staci Frati. Just having pattern on top draws the eye up to your face and the flattering built in belt really creates or accentuates curves.

If you are feeling a bit more bold, try an all over pattern. This Chapel Dress by Velvet has a gorgeous pattern that isn’t too overwhelming and comes in two different color combinations that are both flattering, either black and white or red and white.
Chapel Dress by Velvet
No matter what your pattern style may be, remember my number one rule: if you aren’t comfortable and confidant in what you are wearing, it won’t look good. So make choices that work for you and not the model in the picture. Now tell me, are you an all over pattern the more the merry type of gal, or a small hits of pattern here and there type of gal?? Me, it depends on my mood!

- Retro Boatneck dress by Sweet Pea
Warmer weather means more light and breezy fashions and what better way to stay cool and stay chic then in a cute little dress. Dresses are so easy to just pull on and go and with so many different styles, there is something that flatters everyone. I also love how dresses can so easily go form day to night with a simple change of accessories, perfect for the over scheduled fashionista on the go! The Retro Boatneck dress by Sweet Pea pictured above is perfect for work or an evening out, and the bright color and pattern perfect for this warmer weather.
Modal Jersey V Neck Dress by Splendid
I love the fit of this Modal Jersey V Neck Dress by Splendid, it is oh so soft and comfy. Anything that feels like I am in my pajamas but I really look chic, I am a fan of! Again this dress’s basic cut makes it an easy option for either day or night. I love how it is styled for day above, but could also see it with high heels and a leather bomber for a summer date night. Also, because it is a solid print, don’t be afraid to layer on the jewelry-necklaces, bracelets, and earrings galore! If these gorgeous gams aren’t quite your style, no worries Vintage Fringe is sure to have something that you’ll love.

I might be jumping the gun a bit to already be blogging about tank tops, but the weather is so beautiful today, I am feeling the need to feature some adorable designer tanks designed by Sweet Pea. Sweet Pea’s vivid patterns are a signature look at any time of the year but especially spring/summer these bold colors will help any gal stand out- in the best kind of way.
Sleeveless Front Tie Top by Sweet Pea
This Sleeveless Front Tie Top is adorable and the cut is really flattering on everyone. I also really love this print- it is a dark navy background. The neck ties make it fully adjustable and allows you to decide how to adjust the neckline. As always this top is in Sweet Pea’s trademark mesh-nylon.
This solid blue 4-Tier Ruffle Tank by Sweet Pea is favorite of mine. While sweet pea mostly designs bold prints, this tank comes in solid blue (rain) or fuschia (cranapple). I love how the 4-tiered ruffles makes this tank simple but trendy and feminine. This tank is a perfect to stand alone piece but also looks great paired with a cardigan (see below).

Laurie ‘B.’s Puffsleeve Cardigan Sweater is one of my must have cardigans. And I love the look of Sweet Pea’s Tank with it. Find great designer tanks from Sweet Pea and other designers at Vintage Fringe!!

Everyone wants to look fashionable, or their best no matter what the climate, and even in a tough economy you can update your look for spring with just a few pieces. This spring, as usual, we are being hit with loads of trends and fads, i suggest picking a few that work for you, your lifestyle, your body type and going with those. The three trends that I am loving are prints and over-sized florals, sleeves, and black and white. First the prints and over-sized florals, what a fun eye-popping trend. Go bold here and remember to not go too over the top, keeping accessories simple can help avoid that. This Sleeveless Front Tie Tank Top by Sweet Pea is perfect for spring and perfect for this trend. Imagine a boyfriend blazer on top of it for the office and then let is stand alone for a night out-love that!

Next is sleeves, most people tend to think that warmer weather means less sleeves, but this year you will find lots of options that offer chic coverage. Sleeves are oh so flattering, especially the flouncy versions found this spring. A great option to try this trend is the Keelin Squareneck Lace Top by Velvet.{bonus, it just happen to be in a print, two trends for the price of one!}

Lastly is the stark contrast of black and white. I love this trend because it is so versatile and easy to incorporate in any wardrobe. Bold color accessories look great with black and white and stripes, patterns, shirts, dresses, sweaters and more can all be done in this trend. I am loving this
Gable Stripe Cardigan by
Laurie B.The bold black an white stripes are right on and the exposed zipper adds a bit of edge, not to mention that the cut is ultra flattering.

Spring is such a fun time of year, the fabulous weather, and more sunshine are wonderful and they are even more wonderful when enjoyed in these chic clothes! Head on over to Vintage Fringe for all these looks and more!

Sweet Pea's Sleeveless Front Tie Tank
Life is sweet for Sweet Pea’s designer and brainchild Stacy Frati. This Miami based designer launched her first mesh top over 10 years ago because she felt “there was a void in the market for something very beautiful that could just be a day-into-night style blouse.” Few knew then that Staci’s nylon mesh line she titled “Sweet Pea” would become a landmark of feminine vintage-inspired clothing that could “fly by night”.
It's easy to go from day to night in this short sleeve v-neck by Sweet Pea
At Vintage Fringe we love how Sweet Pea designs can be worn not only in the boardroom with a suit but also on the beach with sandals. Sweet Pea has also crafted its own niche with very feminine and flirty prints and designs that also have that Miami-inspired bohemian vibe as well. The center of Sweet Pea’s trademark look is the nylon mesh fabric that transcends seasons as well as easily slipping from day to night. At Vintage Fringe we love Sweet Pea for it’s bold colors and vibrant prints. Pick your Sweet Pea designs at Vintage Fringe and get in gear for spring.
