Shai has impeccable style. She knows what she likes, comes in and puts it all together. I only see this pretty girl once in a while, mainly because she doesn't trust herself around all these pieces! High compliment girl! Thank you.... ( wool tam $12, victorian blouse $24, wool overall dress $42)
If your gonna look like a package of scotch tape this is the way to do it. I found these two pieces and knew it would take a specail person to pull it off! (Plaid ruffle blouse $24 and matching belt $15)

Collecther Private Label: Dress of the Week

Before you get your hopes up. This piece is already sold. Now. I know you are like what are you showing me for then ! Dag! But have no fear this wrap dress will be made all spring and summer long in new colors and fabrics. So build a whole damn wardrobe if you want. I gotchu! (collecther signature wrap $72)

Spring Tip of the Week: Jumpers.

Jumpers are comfortable and sexy. They also say spring/summer. Add a scarf and a pump to tap into sexy Sandy from Grease. Add oversized accessories and make this look your own. For us busty gals a capsleeved v-neck version works well for us... Dont be afraid to show off those legs this summer and enjoy shorter versions of this style....

collecther man!

Yes its true... collecther man will be available this spring... and my male vintage expert has just begun approving some of the amazing pieces I have found.... We will have ties (as you can see) blazers, button downs and host of other great items plus accessories... We will keep you posted....

customer corner

The lovely Simone stopped by with a fashion week emergency... Luckily she was able to find something fabulous including this beautiful hand dyed scarf ($15)
Look! Kristy is helping and sharing!!!! Faye a first timer to collecther and long time friend of kristy actually arrived a 1/2 an hour earlier than her to scope out the spot before kristy arrived....

collecther private label

Whenever I get the opportunity to sew... I'm always excited and sad at the same time... This dress (collecther private label) wasn't even in the window a good 5 minutes before it was sold! Exciting yes! Sad because I can only make but so much. Thanks to small production this style and a few others will be the first of many in my private collection for spring.... I'll keep you posted!

Spring Tip of the Week: The Tortoise and the Cheetah

This spring please dont be afraid to rock a patterned tight with peep toe heels, especially t-strapped... herribone, animal print, fishnet, even colored opaque tights are quite cute... A combination of patterns are great fun to dress up a solid color scheme... These tortoise shell pumps with the cheetah print tights are classy, sexy, and fun....

I want to look this good when I'm pregnant! Shaenna looks radiant...(fuscia cowl neck dress $60 collecther private label)

Tams and Bows

The girls look great... If you a style adventurer, dont be afraid to try this combination. Wife Beaters or off the shoulder tops and blouses really work well with this combination

Classic Style Twisted

Krista chose black and blue as her pallete. This cardigan over the cowl neck blouse with dk denim high waisted jeans is a great era clash... Classic and funky are made very functional... This evening clutch works with the mix quite well.

Spring Tip of the Week

Trenches are super important this spring
especially
a-line trenches.... There is something to be said about the sexy newscaster look... or
the Parisian
Black Panther look
Kristy is rockin!
