We are Loving Vintage Rompers!



It goes without saying that vintage is really hot right now. So hot in fact that celebs are wearing it, to the Cannes Film Festival no less. Rachel Bilson wore this incredible tuxedo style vintage romper. We have this darling one available in our esty shop right now.

A. Smile Gelati Overalls, The Holy Grail of 80's Vintage!

Here at Fashion Redemption we have happened upon a coveted pair of lavender A. Smile Gelati overalls.

Quoting the website "In the 80's":
When it was popular: 1981-1984
Description: Available in every color of the pastel rainbow, these candy-coated cotton overalls featured flimsy string ties at the top instead of the standard heavy-duty suspenders. The logo was an inverted triangle sewn onto the center back and sported an iced-cream cone with the words A. Smile on top and Gelati below. The only girls who could pull this look off were the snotty cheerleaders or drill-team members -- anyone over 120 pounds looked like a pastel dairy farmer. Pale pink was the most popular color at my high school.
A. Smile Gelati overalls are like the Holy Grail of vintage 80's clothes. They are so difficult to find and there aren't any images of them available online, we've searched and searched. We finally came across this lavender pair and we snatched them up.

Inspiration: Crop Tops from TOPSHOP


We love the UK based brand Topshop. It's been a favorite store of ours for years and it finally made it's way to NYC about a year ago.

Their style is very fashion forward and always a step ahead. We loved this latest look from their Style Notes.

We have recreated a similar look with our "Cherry Pop Crop" now available in our Etsy store.









Make it vintage! Don't just buy something everyone else has already seen or already has. Shop Vintage!

One fine day



Let's start at the very beginning, it's a very good place to start! Once upon a time there was a very cute kitty who was loved soooo much by her loving human. One day in "Senior Art Crafts" class the human decided to reproduce in the most artistic of fashions her "kitty kitty". Working in fabric paints and glitters the masterpiece was born...."Peek-a-boo Kitty!" Close to perfection, because fabric arts are only so precise. The wonder will wow you and mesmerize you. One cannot break away once your eyes have been transfixed by the power of "Kitty Kitty"! The day that "Peek-a-boo Kitty" will come home to reside in your presence will undoubtedly be one of the most amazing days of your life. Make today the day that "Kitty Kitty" comes home!

Soon to be available in our Etsy Store - www.fashionredemption.etsy.com
