Spring Styling with Petrune

Style

Sure its still freezing in Ithaca, but with the upcoming spring breaks for both Cornell and IC, we can’t help dreaming of warmer weather.

We’ve recently received new shipments of spring-ready dresses, like this stunner from Tulle. At only $40, it’s a total steal! Lauren paired this dress with 1960s red cat-eye sunglasses, a red woven purse from the 1970s and red pumps from the 1980s.

We’ve also been busy searching for one of our favorite vintage staples for spring: 1950s sundresses. This sherbet-striped number hits right above the knee, perfect for edging into spring and summer. It’s shown with AJ Morgan sunglasses, one of our new One Swell Gal printed totes, and a collection of vintage bakelite bangles.

For rainy days, we suggest one of our new Tulle raincoats ($85). Isn’t the lining beautiful? We love how it looks with a 1970s crochet knit top, BB Dakota leggings and 1970s Gucci flats.

For a more casual look that will still keep away the spring chill, we’ve paired a green 1970s sweater dress with a classic light washed Levi’s jean jacket.

We love the idea of longer skirts for spring, and this 1940s mid-calf, pleated beauty is the perfect example. Here its shown with an Alternative Apparel lightweight distressed blouse (on sale for $40!), a square 1950s tapestry clutch, and auburn leather 1980s pumps.

1940's Velvet and Tulle Gown
A lovely lady visited the shop this week with a pile of dresses from “When I was a young girl.” She still looked like a young girl to me, but, she said she no longer had occasion to wear these beauties. “Yes, I had wonderful times in these gowns, but nobody dresses up anymore.” It’s nice to be reminded of what people used to wear to a party. This dress is a celebration in its self.

Gettin’ on cozy time…

Week 2: The Commons

Uncategorized

This week we put our best foot forward with a stunning fall-inspired Pucci skirt in tones of brown and pink.

The Commons is treating us well as we start to settle into our new home; the paint is drying, we’re getting to know our neighbors, and Petrune is meeting new people every day who just can’t say enough about her. Oh the ego!

In other exciting news, this week we premiered one of our new clothing lines from Tulle: wool coats, knit tops and sweater dresses in a variety of sizes and colors compliment our expanded vintage collection. You must see for yourself…
