Velvet Brand Clothing Piree Top

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

Velvet Brand Clothing consistently incorporates simple feminine details in many of their fabulous tops and the Piree top is no exception.  This amazing top features a wide V neck with an empire waist.  Nothing novel about that, but we love the feminine rouching detail around the bust on this top and around the side seams around the body of the top.  Part of Velvet by Graham and Spencer’s Gauzy Whisper collection, we love the soft, cotton fabric and the fact that it is machine washable!  These tops are also perfect because they won’t break the budget.  At $75 this top is an economical addition to your spring wardrobe.  With 3/4 length sleeves this top is also perfect for those warm spring days.  We also love the colors available at Vintage Fringe in Bracken (Green), Magnolia (Purple as shown), and Black.

Our priority at Vintage Fringe is finding tops like the Piree top from great designers like Velvet Brand Clothing, Sweet Pea, Ella Moss and Splendid who all consistently manage to find amazing fabrics and patterns and weave them into great styles and designs with feminine details.  In the current economic environment, there is nothing better than finding a versatile top like the Piree from Velvet by Graham and Spencer that looks great with jeans or under a blazer to the office.   Velvet’s feminine style clothing certainly fits the bill with practical, easy to wear fabrics, great colors, versatile styles with feminine touches that make every outfit feel amazing while looking stylish and distinctive.

Feminine Style Ella Moss Dresses

Wednesday, February 4th, 2009

We love Ella Moss and especially their designer dresses!  They perpetually embody such great feminine style and are always fashion forward.  This season one of the pervasive fashion trends has been the resurgence of purple and different variations of the color.

Ella Moss’ Kiki Front Tie Dress is a great example of this feminine style and absolutely beautiful in the Slate (Smokey Purple) color.   This elegant dress made of lace complete with lace straps and gathered lace around the v neck.  We also love the subtle ruffle at the bottom of the dress.

Ella Moss left no detail uncovered and includes a silk tie bow in the front in a matching Slate color too.  We love the Slate color!  It is such a great way to wear this season’s popular purple color as it isn’t that old Jack Nicholson “Joker” purple.  It isn’t over the top like that shade of purple.  Yet it isn’t as muted as your basic  grey either.  Completely stunning and completely distinctive, which is classic Ella Moss!

Women’s Fashion Trends

Monday, January 26th, 2009

We’re always on the look out for fabulous fashion trends in women’s clothing and this season one such trend is ruffles.  We love the feminine touch and particularly love the use of ruffles in the Ruffle Bib Top by Zooey Clothing.  The ruffle bib top features a series of 4 columns of ruffles around the “bib” area of the top.  The top features a 4 button Henley collar in the middle of the ruffle columns.

Like most of Zooey’s tops, the Ruffle Bib Top is made of supima cotton so it is ultra soft and we love this top not just because of the feminine style touch with the ruffles, but also because of the versatility.  It is great with jeans, but we also love to rock it with a cute skirt and boots.   The sleeves are 3/4 sleeves so it is also great practically year round as well!  It’s machine washable and super comfortable.  The waist flares out a bit so it is best to wear it loose.  It is also long–another fashion trend that we love.   This is certainly one of our favorite pieces from Zooey by Alice Heller as it strikes the perfect balance with comfort and wearability and still incorporates feminine touches and adds that extra piece of “fringe”.  Available in Mouse (Grey), Black, Midnight (Navy), and White.

Velvet Clothing Inaugural Style

Wednesday, January 21st, 2009

It’s no secret that we love Velvet Clothing and think their brand is right at the top of the list in terms of creating feminine style tops that are fashionable and comfortable all in one.  In light of the the recent Inauguration and as a tribute to a fashion color trend that Michelle Obama made popular with her Inaugural outfit we want to highlight a top by Velvet Clothing that we currently carry in the Lemongrass color.

Velvet’s Coley turtleneck top is perfect for this time of year as it is still too chilly to wear basic short sleeve tops, but the elbow length sleeve gives enough coverage to keep you temperate if you wear this under a blazer or jacket and yet if you have to take that top layer off, it still keeps much of your arm covered.  It is a turtleneck, but not a tight one; it features a raw edge at the top, so it is looser than most turtlenecks and should just lay naturally.

This Velvet by Graham and Spencer top is perfect for the in-between seasons when it isn’t warm enough to wear short sleeves and tanks alone, but yet not cold enough to warrant a heavy sweater.  Part of Velvet’s Gauzy Whisper collection this season, this light weight top is available at Vintage Fringe in Lemongrass as shown here as well as Cherrywood (Red), Sprig (Light Brown), and Brimstone (Grey).  We love the lemongrass color because it is so sunny and unique.  In addition, it is great for contrasting under  black, grey and even navy.   The Coley turtleneck is machine washable and the jersey fabric is super soft and so comfortable to wear!

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

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.
