Go Green for Spring

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

Whether it’s chartreuse, jade, emerald, or lime, green seems to be my favorite color for spring.

Velvet's Martha Boatneck Tunic Dress is Perfect for Spring

This tunic dress designed by Velvet is a great choice for spring. Pair it with legging, jeans or wear it as a dress and you have an adorable look for spring.  This green color also pairs perfectly with blue, denim, red, or yellow so don’t be afraid to spotlight more than one color this spring.

This long sleeve top made of the softest supima cotton  is so versatile you can really pair it with anything.  I love to wear it buttoned down with a cami underneath.  I love how Splendid designed this top with a layering effect that makes this shirt unique from any other long sleeve shirt you have in your closet.

I wear  this tank by itself with jeans, or layer it with a cardigan and it is perfect for a day of running errands or a night out!  The pattern features a great mix of navy, lilac, light blue, and fuschia colors.  The great colors combined with the length of this tank always looks hot with a set of dark jeans or even leggings.  Find this tank and others from Sweet Pea or our other great designers now at Vintage Fringe.

Splendid Roses

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

Splendid Brand clothing is known for their fabulous fabrics, but also for their hip, stylish patterns.  One of our favorite patterns is the black rose pattern featured on this ivy green empire waist v neck top.  Such patterns are yet another great tribute to vintage styles.  This pattern is more subdued than the aforementioned twist on the animal print by Sweet Pea, but for that feminine, stylish look, you can’t go wrong with this classic top by Splendid Brand Clothing.   Speaking of patterns, what is more feminine than roses?

We love the additional feminine touches Splendid adds including the contrasting pattern on the v neck, the cuffs, and the hem.  Nothing is more feminine than an empire waist.   We like the fitted look created in this top, a slight contrast from many modern empire waist tops with looser fits.  The black rose print combined with the ivy green color also creates a distinctive contrast.  Green is currently such a popular color this season as are good patterns.   Last, but certainly not least, this top is extremely comfortable and we love the length of this top.  Depending on your body type, this type typically falls below the hips.

In short, we love the feminine pattern, the style and the color another fabulous piece by Splendid!

Empire Waist Tops

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

Empire Waist tops are very popular this upcoming winter.  We’re seeing lots of empire waists that are long creating a modern twist on the tunic style tops. We think this style of top is a mainstay of creating a vintage style look.

One of our favorites at Vintage Fringe is the Vevina top from Velvet by Graham and Spencer.  We love the empire waist, the length, and the buttons used for accents on the sleeves and neckline.  It has a fitted bohemian style top that gives you that sophisticated, yet casual look.  This top is currently available in white, brown (mushroom), pink, and black.

Another great empire waist style top at Vintage Fringe is the Discharge top by AlixK.  The AlixK line features a distinctive fabric with a silk cotton blend and unique hand made embroidery on every top.

They also pay so much attention to the details on the tops with each shirt featuring things like gathered turtlenecks or darts on the bodice.  What we love about the Discharge is the empire waist and design currently available in Black with Grey embroidery and Brown and Lighter Brown  embroidery.  We also have it in Ivory with ivory embroidery that will be available for sale next week.  We hate struggling with some turtlenecks in getting them to stay in the right place.  We love the gathered turtleneck that just falls in place on its own.  You’ll also love the gathered cuffs on the sleeves giving this top another added feminine detail.

These are just a few of our favorite empire waist pieces currently available at Vintage Fringe.
