The Mod Look for Everyone

Friday, July 31st, 2009

The Mod look from the 60′s seems to be inspiration on runways everywhere. Sweet Pea is just one of many designers who is turning the classic mod look into a modern style and here at Vintage Fringe we have found many mod patterns and cuts that can be a great addition to any one’s personal style.  After all, new vintage style clothing is what Vintage Fringe is all about.

Sweet Pea Mod Retro Tunic

So what do we at vintage fringe recommend to turn your mod on? First we love this Mod Retro Tunic from Sweet Pea. Pair this bold and colorful Rupert patterned tunic with leggings, chunky jewelry, and a darkly lined eye and you’ll capture the look of the modern mod.  If sleeveless isn’t your thing I adore another variation on this fabulous look, at Vintage Fringe we also love Sweet Pea’s Retro Boatneck Dress also in the Rupert pattern.

This dress is a bit longer than the tunic and would look great with high boots, leggings, or even dark colored tights.   Both looks are fun and flirty and will keep you fresh and modern this fall.  To find designer dresses for fall just visit us at Vintage Fringe.

Here at Vintage fringe we have so many different ruffle tops and dresses to choose from.  The classic example is our La Befana Ruffle Halter TankLa Befana chooses the classic Halter top cut to really accentuate the ruffle detail making the top classy and flattering.  La Befana added one more classic signature to this top–an adorable tie in the back.

Sweet Pea Tops are Always on Top of Fashion

Sunday, May 3rd, 2009

Sweet Pea by Stacy Frati is always on top of fashion and this season’s tops here at Vintage Fringe are no exception!  A perfect example is Sweet Pea’s Belted Ruffle Top.  This top is a classic example of Sweet Pea’s patterned shirts that are feminine and soft.  This shirt also combines some of this season’s hottest fashion trends with its ruffle neckline and accent belt.  Best of all the belt is patterned on one side and contrasted in pink on the other, so you can pull off two completely different looks with one shirt.

Best of all this shirt’s navy and ivory pattern is perfect for spring!  Another trendy top / dress by Sweet Pea that we absolutely love is the Tie Short Dress.  This Tie Short dress features Sweet Pea Clothing’s famous Joplin brown and pink pattern with a solid brown panel along the front.  This dress is fabulous with leggings, and the side ties allows for a perfect and fashionable fit.

These two looks are perfect illustrations of why Sweet Pea Tops and Sweet Pea Dresses are so feminine and these feminine details combined with comfortable, wearable fabrics are always in fashion!

Sweet Pea Clothing Vintage Style

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

We’ve mentioned how much we love Sweet Pea Clothing’s patterns, but today we wanted to rave about one that we think is a great modern twist on a vintage style trend.  When we saw this dot pattern by Sweet Pea it reminded us of a pattern found less frequently today…the polka dot pattern.  We really like polka dots and while they can sometimes be overdone, we wish we saw them more often in modern styles.

Sweet Pea Dot Pattern Hoop Dolman Top

Sweet Pea Dot Pattern Hoop Dolman Top

This Sweet Pea dot pattern is unique with its different size dots on vines or branches in either a black, white, lime green and purple color scheme or in a navy, white, red and pink color scheme.  We love the contrasting colors and in particular love the line green mixed in with the purple and white.  Shown to the left in the Sweet Pea Hoop Dolman top, this style features lime green lining that you can see peeking out at the bottom. Don’t miss this pattern in Sweet Pea’s long sleeve drawstring empire waist top too.

If these colors aren’t your cup of tea, check out Sweet Pea’s long sleeve combo cuff crewneck in the same pattern in the blue / red color scheme.

Wild about Sweet Pea

Monday, November 10th, 2008

We are wild about Sweet Pea at Vintage Fringe and now with one of their latest prints in this fashionable hoodie, you can be too.  We love the pattern.

Sweet Pea Clothing

A great twist on the ever-popular, but almost overdone animal prints, this bold Sweet Pea pattern takes a bold, but new approach with splashes of pink and gold along with the black and ivory.  With contrasting black trim at the bust creating a drawstring empire waist giving it that added feminine style.  And we can’t forget the hoodie, a fabulous Sweet Pea detail the interior of the hoodie is in contrasting solid black.

You’ll love the hoodie, the drawstring empire waist, and the v neck.  All of these things give us a number of reasons to love Sweet Pea brand clothing and the distinctive styles and patterns that keep us coming back for more!

This Sweet Pea top typifies the mission of Vintage Fringe to find feminine, trendy, vintage style designer clothing that is loaded with details and certainly not like every other top you’ll find at those chain stores.

Sweet Pea Apparel vs. AlixK – You decide

Thursday, November 6th, 2008

When we saw this picture of Grace Kelly wearing this elegant patterned top, at first it reminded us of a Sweet Pea topSweet Pea Apparel is an amazing designer and we love their vintage style.    In particular we love the unique prints that make their tops so distinctive and the combination of unique styles that make all of Sweet Pea’s tops look non-traditional, but elegant at the same time.

Then as we looked at this picture a little longer we thought it also reminded us of an AlixK top.  With AlixK’s signature handmade embroidery on each of its tops in patterns similar to that seen on Grace’s top, we couldn’t help but draw a comparison.

When we wrote this entry we were torn as to which designer clothing item this reminded us of more.  Sweet Pea or AlixK?  And we couldn’t pick just one.  So in honor of the democratic country in which we live, we decided we would leave it up to the popular vote and let you decide.

Either way, we are pleased that at a minimum this Grace Kelly top just serves to remind us that much of Vintage Style truly is timeless.

Vintage Style with Boots

Nothing complements vintage style better than boots.  It’s that time of year where boots become a wardrobe staple.  While we don’t yet sell boots at Vintage Fringe, we do have several tops that would be fabulous with boots.  Starting with The Frock from Laurie B., we love this tunic length sweater that can also be a dress if you have that perfect body.

Available in Bark (Taupe) and Plum (Aubergine) both of these tops would be great with your basic black or brown boots.  Boots will absolutely rock this sweater.

Another bootworthy top/dress is the Orange and Black Empire Waist dress by Sweet Pea.  This dress can really be worn almost any time of year, but for fall/winter this dress would be absolutely perfect with boots.

The empire waist gives it that added level of femininity and with boots and the vivid colors and pattern, this dress is sure to make a bold statement.

Another perfect combination with boots are any of our Long Sleeve Crew Tunic length tops by Zooey.

They have a great, long length and would look ultra hip and stylish with boots.  This top is available as shown in Grey (Dungeon), Brown (Ebony), Navy Blue (Midnight), Black, Magnolia (Yellow) and of course White.

Let’s be honest, each of these tops will help give you a unique look as they are, but we think they would be fabulous with boots too.

Sweet Pea’s Vintage Style

Thursday, October 9th, 2008

Vintage style is one of our central focuses at Vintage Fringe.  We try to find vintage style clothing when we search for designers and then within their lines.  Today two of our favorite vintage style tops are from Sweet Pea whose awesome tops are all extremely comfortable and made in such adorable styles.  Their patterns are all completely unique from month to month.   The first top that we think embodies that ultimate vintage style is the Multi-Color Bohemian Tunic top.  We love the variety of colors, the empire waist and the contrasting brown trim.

Another great vintage style top features a scarf tie around the neck.  We love the bright blue pattern and the unique style.  Again this is by Sweet Pea by Stacy Frati.

Both of these tops are so versatile!  They are both perfect to wear with that cute skirt to work, hip enough to be worn out for a night out, and casual enough to wear just about anywhere with jeans.  The best part about vintage style clothing is the ability to create that truly unique look and make it fashionable today.   Sweet Pea’s patterns and styles frequently create that vintage look and added distinction.  Made from a nylon mesh fabric it is amazingly comfortable and wearable.  Create your vintage style today while supplies last!
