Fall Trend Report

Tuesday, September 7th, 2010

Now that we’ve had a couple of chilly days sprinkled into this heat wave, it’s time to start thinking about fall wardrobes. Lucky for us, fashion is cyclical, so you can bet that if it’s on the runways, it’s at Petrune. Check out a couple of our versions of fall runway trends.

Check out Petrune customer Barbara in her 60s best! She found this floral stunner at Petrune to wear in the Mad Men casting call by Banana Republic for AMC. Be sure to give her your vote before September 17th!

Also, stop by the store to see our new Mad Men themed window!

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.
