It’s that time of year again when the seasons start to change and you start looking for the perfect pieces for Fall and Winter. Overall, every good winter wardrobe should include at least a few of the following pieces to be trendy this season. This winter some of the big trends include: cropped sweaters, long cardigans, tunic length tops or dresses, and leggings. Here are a few of our favorite pieces at Vintage Fringe for great clothes for winter.
The Aspen Motorcycle Sweater by one of our favorite designers Velvet by Graham and Spencer is absolutely one of our must haves this winter. This cropped sweater features an off center zipper and zippered pockets. We love the button detail at the shoulder and the wide collar with a zipper from top to bottom. The cropped sweater look is totally in this season and we love it as it is such a modern feminine look. We love pairing this top with a longer shirt underneath as contrasting shirt lengths are another great trend this season.
In the long cardigan category we love wearing both buttoned cardigans and loose cardigans. One of our favorites is the Rayon Slub Jersey Cardigan by Splendid. We love love love the fabric their rayon slub jersey feels absolutely luxurious and we love the flowing look of the cardigan in front. For alternate looks we sometimes even knot the cardigan at the waist for a more fitted look.
One of our favorite tunic length dresses is the Retro Boatneck dress by Sweet Pea by Stacy Frati. We love the vintage pattern in vibrant colors and the tie around the waist that can tie in front or in back. This dress is so versatile that it works year round with or without leggings. With a boatneck neckline, this tunic is distinctive and a great addition to any wardrobe this season.
As for leggings, many people have avoided the trend, waiting to see how much staying power leggings had, but it is safe to say that this winter they are here to stay. This season you’re even seeing denim leggings. Leggings are a must have this winter and pair well with ballet flats or boots. Our stylists recommend having a few pairs of leggings in staple colors like Black, Grey and then mix in other colors according to your color preferences. We are always on the look out for navy and brown leggings too although they are more splurge colors than staples. At Vintage Fringe, we’re partial to the Swoosie leggings from Velvet by Graham and Spencer currently available in both Grey and Black.
All of these winter clothes pair very well with boots which of course will be all the rage this winter. You’ll see a lot of the knee high length boots this winter which will be the perfect complement to those cropped sweaters or tunic length dresses with or without leggings. You can be sure that each of these pieces is modern, but is not going to be a fad for only one season, which in the current economy makes sprucing up your wardrobe with these pieces far more economical.

For fall fashion 2010 take a cue from mother nature and wear more gray. Gray is a fabulous color and looks good on most skin types{if you get it in the right tone!} and it is a great base for all your colorful fall coats, scarfs, and jewelry! Check out the gorgeous Serlina Boatneck Long Sleeve Top by Velvet. The boatneck is totally chic and made from 100% cotton, which means it’s machine washable, love that!

The Solna Sleeveless Top by Velvet by Graham and Spenceris stunning. The draped, sweeping neckline is so sweet and feminine. I think this top would be perfect for day or night, casual or dressy, its versatile cut would be perfect for just about any occasion.

If sweater and cardigans are more your style, try rocking a layered look with the Victoria Cardigan by Ella Moss. You just have to see the ultra cute details that wrap all the way around the back of this cardigan. This would be the perfect light sweater for early fall or a great piece for warmer layering for winter.

So what do you think?? Is gray going to be a new staple color for your fall and winter fashion??

Fall and winter fashion are all about layers for me, and what is better staple piece and layering item them leggings?? Leggings are so great because they can be worn in a million different ways to make a million different looks. I love leggings tucked into boots, or worn with booties and a tunic length top. Velvet by Graham and Spencer, who are known for their ultra soft and comfortable fabrics have a fabulous pair of knit leggings, the Swoosie. {Wouldn’t love to know where that name came from??} They are the perfect pair to start your looks with, available in dark grey or black.

I don’t know about the rest of you, but is supposed to hit the 90′s this weekend, so I am still very much into summer clothes. Especially summer clothes that will transition into fall and winter outfits. Enter the Lace Trim Stripe Tank by Collective Concepts, it is obviously perfect for summer just by itself. But imagine it with a coordinating color long sleeve shirt underneath it for fall, and a cropped leather jacket on top for winter, so chic!

Another great piece for layering, is an open cardigan. I love to wear an open cardigan with leggings, because then I can wear a shorter shirt and the open cardigan is long enough to cover my behind. The Cotton Bamboo Cardigan by Splendid is great because is has short sleeves, making it perfect for layering and lasting though all the seasons.

So enjoy the weather where ever you are and whatever it is and remember layering pieces are perfect now and perfect later. It all starts with the perfect pair of leggings!

September fashion is a bridge from the light weight and loose clothes of summer to the structured heavy weights of fall and I for one am having a hard time coping with the fact that it is indeed September and summer is ending. To help me{and you!} feel better about the situation, I have found some truly beautiful pieces that are a little bit summer and a little bit fall. Which makes them perfect for right now!
Solna Sleeveless Top by Velvet by Graham and Spencer.
First is this lovely feminine Solna Sleeveless Top by Velvet by Graham and Spencer. I am loving the neckline, the super soft and drapey material and this perfect for all gray/purple color. The detail really draws the eyes up to your face, and highlights the collarbone.
Marni Cowlneck Pocket Dress by Velvet by Graham and Spencer.
Isn’t this Marni Cowlneck Pocket Dress by Velvet by Graham and Spencerjust perfect for September?? I love the dressy and casual blend that it gives, not to mention the very forgiving cut. {For those of us that maybe enjoyed summer a bit too much!}
Cold Shoulder Top by Sweet Pea.
Lastly, I love the water color pattern{so right now!} and slit sleeve detail on the Cold Shoulder Top by Sweet Pea. These are perfect early fall colors and the flattering loose cut is great with leggings, shorts, or jeans. Go out and enjoy what last few moments of summer you can, but don’t forget to arm yourself with fall fashion from Vintage Fringe !

This Collective Concepts racerback flared tunic tank has been one of my favorite pieces this summer. It is so easy to glam up with cute shoes and basic leggings and I always feel like a million bucks when it wear it. Accessorizing is easy with this racer-back tank because it has the adorable black and silver beaded straps. While this tank designed by Collective Concepts usually sells for $55.00 this week only at Vintage Fringe it is on sale for $33.00.
La Befana Navy Tie Tank
I love love love this La Befana Tank (I personally own it in polka dot also on sale this week at Vintage Fringe). I wear it with a cute cap sleeve or a long sleeve shirt underneath. The tie on the side adds the perfect detail that makes this top a one-of -kind top to add to your wardrobe. I can wear this to work or at home and it is always adorable and flattering.

Laurie B. Rumba Puff Sleeve Sweater
Knit designer and visionary Laurie B. is known for her high quality high fashion knitwear and this Laurie B. Rumba puff sleeve sweater wrap is probably my favorite design of hers. This sweater snaps in the front for a completely separate look or it unsnaps to become the adorable wrap that is perfect for fall and early winter. This sweater is also full of surprising details like the adorable pockets and puff sleeves. This is also a super soft lightweight knit that can give you warmth but won’t overheat you. It really is perfect for any season. A knit wrap like this can easily sell for around $200, but this week only at Vintage Fringe this puff sleeve cardigan is only $99.

All fall and winter your neck was covered with adorable scarfs or turtlenecks. Now that it’s springtime, it is time to decorate your neck with a little bling vintage style. Double strand necklaces are the perfect fashion statement for you neck- especially with a boat-neck style top. To go purely vintage check out Chanel’s clear crystal sautoir.
Chanel's Vintage Extra Long Clear Crystal Sautoir
While this vintage piece is exquisite some of us may not have the $1,495 dollars to spend. If that is the case maybe you will like my interpretation of this necklace. Retailing for a very reasonable $30 dollars.
Jewelry Designer Rosanne Follman's Double Strand Charm Necklace
Vintage Fringe exclusively is selling jewelry designer Rosanne Follman’s double strand charm necklace. I love the use of soft green mother of pearl shells along with silver charms to create a beautiful vintage inspired, but very fashion forward piece. The length of this necklace is 24 inches, it is a copper chai with a toggle clasp.
I would pair this necklace with Velvet’s Daree Wide Sleeve Boatneck Top in Milk (ivory)
Daree Wide Sleeve Boatneck Top
I think the mother of pearl green shells with silver would pair perfectly this with boatneck top designed by Velvet by Graham and Spencer. What do you think? What would you pair this necklace with?

This Wednesday Irish or not so Irish it’s probably in your best interest to wear green. I am still trying to decide just how festive I want to look for a St. Patty’s day party this weekend. Just in case anyone else is still trying to pick your outfit out. Below are some of my favorites to choose from.
Laurie B. Emmy Cardigan Sweater in Kelly Green
This Cardigan Sweater is designed by Laurie B. and is the sweater I receive the most compliments on. I love how it snaps at the neck and then slits open for a cardigan feel. The pocket detail and long length makes this sweater so comfortable and easy to wear. I always pair this sweater with the Zooey long sleeve crew neck in white. Considering this sweater is now in the outlet- it’s a steal of a deal. Maybe the luck of the Irish.
The other shirt I am considering for St. Patrick’s day is this Victoria Front Tie Top designed by Ella Moss.
Ella Moss Victoria Front Tie Top
There are so many details I love about this top. First I love the ruffles at the neck line and the cuffs. This flirty top is made of Ella Moss’s modal fabric which is super durable and the ultimate in comfort.
Some of you celebrating St. Patrick’s Day may want to dress it up. For a dressy night on the town I would suggest the Aggie V Neck Ruffle Dress.
Aggie V Neck Ruffle Dress by Ella Moss
This empire waist dress is so adorable and so unique you will definitely stand out as the best dressed in the crowd. I love how fun and playful yet flattering the stripes are on this dress. St. Patty’s Day or not you will be sure to gave good luck the night you wear this dress. For any other St. Patrick’s day inspirations just visit VintageFringe.com and search by color. Happy St. Patrick’s Day!!!

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.
Splendid's 1x1 buttonup long sleeve shirt
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.
Splendid's Baby Fleece Hoodie
Also designed by Splendid this Tie Waist Hoodie is perfect for spring and summer. Featuring an empire waist and a hoodie this top/dress is great to style for any occasion.
Daree Widesleeved Boatneck by Velvet
This boatneck top is one of my favorite tops in my closet right now. I love how Velvet found the perfect shade of green that looks great with every color. Seen here accesorized with a yellow belt, I wear this top with a red belt,dark jeans, and red shoes. I have often worn this shirt with a long sleeve underneath and it still looks adorable.

Sunshine, blue skies, flowers, and spring dresses! Welcome to March! With warmer weather on the horizon, I am drawn to cute little dresses that just be thrown on. These dresses look good with boots, cardigans, or over a swimsuit whatever your weather might be. This Splendid Modal Jersey V Neckdress is perfect for spring and is very versatile, belts, necklaces, sweaters, jackets, boots and sandals can all change this dress and make it a work horse for your closet.

I think most women are always searching for the perfect little black dress and this Ella Moss Abigail Ruffle Front V Neck Dress totally fits the bill. It has gorgeous details, an ultra flattering cut, and the ‘of the moment’ ruffle-love it all!

One other dress that I love, is this Velvet by Graham and Spencer Olka 3/4 Sleeve Dress. The neutral brown color would look great with a pop of color accessories like pink, blue, or maybe even some animal print! Another great spring versatile dress that can be ‘winterized’ with boots and a jacket, or ‘summerized’ with sandals and sunglasses!
