Sugary Sweet Sunglasses

This weekend we ventured out to The Sugar Shack– the best place in Ithaca to grab an icy treat. Not only do they have delicious shaved ice, the shack itself is insanely colorful! We thought it was the ideal place to show off our new round of sunglasses in the store, as well as some beach ready vintage wears.

This 1980s crop top sweatshirt comes straight from “WIPE OUT BEACH U.S.A.”,  and looks best when paired with bold rimmed shades and a rad attitude.

This romper falls right in line with the 80s surfer vibe. The insanity of the neon can barely be captured in a photo, it really glows! Any of our club-master styled glasses complete this stand-out look.

Who says you can only wear one pair? All models shown in this frame come in at least three alternative color options, all currently on the floor.

Petrune

Channel your inner 1970s grandma with these rose colored specs– they’re massive and entirely too much fun to wear.

While these sunglasses have seen this blog before, we think they pair well with this 60s cut knit dress. The stripes are unexpectedly flattering, and the weight of the fabric is great for cooler summer nights.

Even the pups agree– the shades here at Petrune are perfectly tasteful for summer! As always, our sunglasses run at $15 per pair, or two for $25.

Special thanks to photographer Angelina Castillo and the ladies of The Sugar Shack.

New Shoes!

Thursday, May 13th, 2010

We have lots of fantastic vintage shoes, but we all know the pain of finding a perfect pair of vintage shoes that aren’t your size! Luckily, we have lots of fabulous new Spring shoes in the store, in many sizes. Check out these beauties from Seychelles and Jeffrey Campbell.

Prom, formal, wedding, big date…

green dress

We have plenty of great party dresses at the moment, both vintage and brand new, like this jade green strapless dress from French Connection. We like it with bold gold accessories, like our oversized heart locket, and this green and gold beaded necklace from Jan Michaels. For the guys we have lots of vintage tuxedos, which are much cooler than anything you can rent, as well as tuxedo accessories like cummerbunds, bow ties and studs. The vintage inventory is always changing, so if you check it out regularly, you’ll probably get lucky.

A little preview of the Petrune party dresses for spring, made by “One Swell Gal” designer Natasha Keller, in our upstairs studio. This strapless number features a black cotton sateen bodice with boning for shape, with a patterned cotton skirt. So cute.
