In addition to the selection on our Etsy site, we also have a collection on the store floor waiting for a wonderful home, and great party!

This year, we decided that we’d like nothing more than to pair patterns with patterns, and bright colors with more patterns. What fun is subtlety when the weather is warm? Here you’ll see some of our favorite new and vintage items from the store, styled by Petrune’s team of fashionistas, and modeled by Julianne Schaeffer at the Ithaca Farmer’s Market.

Look forward to some more shots after this weekend. We’re going back out on the town with many fun looks to photograph for you on Sunday!

Here’s some of our favorite looks we found out on the street at SXSW this year. Fashionable ladies abound, as usual at an international music festival, but we were also excited to see so many men with individual refined style! Lookin’ good, guys!

Maxi dresses and skirts were a trend everywhere we looked. We especially like how this gal "toughened up" the flowing look with those combat boots!

Burnt-orange shorts and a vintage hawaiian shirt to match the warm southern air. Surprisingly (and awesomely), florals were quite common at SXSW.

So much more after the jump!

Love this supersaturation! Beautiful color blocking and a vintage bag.

We were thrilled to see suspenders making a bit of a comeback too! With a vintage Champion tank and classic "greaser" hairstyle, this was one of our favorite looks.

While not vintage, this hand-knit dress is too unique to not feature!

One of Petrune's own, worn with style by Jon! More of the fun subtle florals worn by men.

Practical and stylish accessories on a warm spring day. Vintage hat and new cute sunnies!

Miranda, a Petrune alumnae and very stylish person! Sometimes it dosen't have to be more complicated than a white shirt-dress and killer shoes.

This lime-colored maxi-dress caught our eye from accross a crowded room. You might say it was love at first sight? The little pop of contrast from the violet shoes is perfection.

The abstract pattern peeking out from beneath his motorcycle jacket is a lovely touch.

Fun tights!

Orange leather short-alls. Need we say more? Steampunk glasses are the cherry on top.

One of our favorite shots from the festival. Everyone just looking incredible!

This year’s Chili Fest was a blast, as always. With awesome street style and delicious chili at every turn, what more could we possibly want?

Speaking of Kool Aid, a close third to Candy and Love in the scheme of holiday greatness is the color! We put together a red and pink Valentines window a couple days ago, inspired by some delightfully snazzy 70′s romance comics. With our display dressed to impress and our sexiest vintage-inspired lingerie out on the front table… can someone please give us chocolate now?

Hot pink 60′s Bonnie Cashin Leather Rain Coat! Love!

Mary Green silk high waist knickers for you or your sweetheart!

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 after the jump!

Starting with an 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!

This shirt is a great transitional piece, ideal both for winter nights under a coat, and summer nights in front of a campfire. It’s draping is super-flattering on everyone, as are the colors.

Need a new warm sweater for those cold evenings cheering on Big Red? Look no further!

There is, of course, a more luxurious side to wool. Get your Gatsby on in this wool/angora blend double breasted coat… and maybe a brightly colored beret to modernize the look?

A shirt for a mountain man. Though it was a balmy 31 degrees when we were out taking photos, Alex professed that he was getting a little warm in this thick-knit fawn colored shirt. Truly a companion for the most bitter colds.

A brightly colored sweater that hits near your natural waist is a valuable part of any wardrobe. This red one with a detailed neckline is great because works when worn with either a skirt or pants!

Lastly, this (heavy as all get-out) olive wool military coat. It’s already charmed a few folks when we posted it on our Facebook recently, and we can’t blame them!

We were especially excited when she totally pulled of a couple pairs of leather 80′s pants. We’ve been waiting for someone to come along with the cojones to rock those! Jenna and her sister modeled a number of super sassy red, black, and white themed looks, calling to mind our beloved White Stripes. And really, when the White Stripes are even tangentially involved, there’s no way to deny the awesome factor.

Here’s a few of our fave looks, but be sure to check out her blog for two posts of Petrune goodness!

We were thrilled when they approached us to create a photo spread for their magazine! After a fun shoot with Lucy, some of the folks from HiFashion, and some very patient and cooperative models, they got some beautiful images.

Check out their full magazine here!

Keeping with the theme of “beautiful clothes that starve off crushing seasonal depression,” Bethany put together some outfits displaying the wonderful intersection of Comfort and Color.
