Shop Update: 1980s Summer

These super cute summer pieces have all hit the shop over the past week or so. As I mentioned in my last blog post, I'm on a major eighties kick at the moment so this update has plenty of pretty 80s dresses to choose from. As usual, click on the links to shop the listings over on Etsy.

Shop Update: Mademoiselle Coco and Pretty Purses

I hope you enjoy this round-up of new pieces that recently hit the shop... A sweet selection of clothing and accessories in classic shades of red, gold, black and brown. I've been on a bit of an eighties kick in the shop... And that's set to continue for a while as I'm currently adding a collection of 80s summer dresses... The 1980s might be responsible for some power dressing fashion crimes but I'm a big fan of the era's old-timey romantic fashions and 80s-does-50s + 80s-does-40s styles. After the ongoing eighties crop, I've got some 20s, 40s and 50s pieces squirreled away so if you like your vintage pre-60s, stay tuned!
