RETRO GLAM







RETRO  GLAM




"Getting Ready" took on a whole new meaning in the 50's. We wanted to look like our favorite movie stars everyday and respectfully took the time to do so. Lipstick didn't have 1,000 shades to choose from. Sweats were not an option to wear while grocery shopping and wearing our grandmother's jewelry and coats were chic"~ lisa
























"I often wonder if every fashion style has been created and we are only continuing to merge stereotypical designs together for a new look. Or NOT" ? ~ lisa




"Post World War II introduced easy-care fabrics. Teens became wage earners allowing their disposable income one of the underlying forces of fashion trends; keeping the interest of designers and the future of the ongoing billion dollar industry.

Glamour never looks back...
unless we design in retrospect" ~ lisa

INDIAN SUMMERS remind me of our family cabin in the mountains where everything felt like summer but looked like FALL. 
The river was ice cold but the sun was always shining. Still in my mind I can smell nearby fireplaces burning mid afternoon bringing comfort to those who stopped to see the smoke drifting thru the trees; the certain way the shadows fell on the falling leaves and on the mailbox up the road while fascinated by the colored print scarves my aunt used to wear in her hair.



It's as if nature keeps its eye on me as I will forever believe in this time of year and what sweet memories it always seems to bring.
