With the passing of Chinese New Year, it is officially the Year of the Dragon! Our window is decked out to match, complete with a genuine Hong-Kong made dragon-dancer. Our dragon dancer, made for 3 people, is truly a piece of art, and we’re so excited to share it!

The year of the Dragon signifies a time of good luck, and plentiful wheat and poultry. Thus, we at Petrune hope your year is filled with good fortune and good food!

Beautiful details.

Beautiful colors.

Vintage sleepwear is one of the most incredible things. The detail put into nightgowns and lingerie back when they were primarily handmade never ceases to amaze me, and the silks and satins don’t hurt much either.

For our most recent window, we’re displaying some dreamy vintage boudoir looks, as well as saucy vintage-inspired lingerie. Take a gander. Some detail shots (worth seeing, trust me) after the jump!

There’s no better companion during the winter months than a quality wool coat, or a luxurious cashmere sweater. Here, Alex Cunningham and Angelina Castillo photograph several wool pieces that could become a staple of your winter wardrobe.

Starting with an (I think) essential element to any woman’s wardrobe, the gigantic cozy sweater. It doubles as a blanket for lazy evenings on the couch, but you can also dress it up with a belt and boots for a night out! This one is a wool blend, for added comfort.

Halfway between your favorite blazer and your favorite flannel button-up, this brightly-colored wool jacket is an easy (and warm!) way to spice up jeans and a t-shirt.

More essential winter wools for both men and women after the jump!
