During World War II, materials were scarce, and fashion was minimal. Many outfits were made with rayon, one material that was not on a war quota. In 1947, Christian Dior gained world wide famed by introducing the "New Look", a silhouette with a tiny bodice, belt, and a large A-lined petticoated skirt. It was flirt, feminine, and above all, a return to opulent glamour!

The shop celebrates this special time in history:

now all available in the shop!

2 year anniversary

May 16th was my 2 year anniversary with my sweetie! It just keeps getting better. His parents took us out along with my parents to Five Restaurant at St. John's Inn, where we had our Rehearsal Dinner. It was such a lovely night, and we even toured the chapel that we were married in. I loved showing our son where we were married! It is crazy how quickly life can change in just two short years; I can't wait to see what's in store!
