Shop Talk: BUtterfield E3

The original glamour girl did it with class, style and gumption!  Before Audrey there was Elizabeth, and she was – in all her spellbinding glory – ravishing to say the least.  Who wore the House of Dior’s infamous “New Look” better than the late Ms or Mrs. Taylor (depending on the season)?  The full circle skirts, cinched waist, undeniably erect bust and rounded shoulders were Taylor’s signature shape well beyond the 40’s and 50’s.  Here at The Vutique we draw inspiration from Ms. Taylor’s celebrated curves, and have curated a sustainable collection of 3 appetizingly timeless dresses to honor her irrevocable elegance.

The two-tone black and emerald dress sets the tone for Taylor’s coveted journey into Hollywood.  Its sculpted bodice dips into a single chevron pattern followed by a burst of zealous color.  For extra pizzazz, sport this 1940’s cut dress with a simple black belt – you’ll be well primed for any occasion.  The 50’s represented the steady peak of Taylor’s talent as a true Hollywood starlet.  Taunting sophistication was in, and drab was out.  Such a dichotomy is seen in our butterfly sleeve, floral printed dress.  Who said 1950’s fashion was limited to the 1950’s alone – I’m sure Ms. Taylor would have to disagree.  Lastly is the multicolored shirtwaist polka dotted dress, our rendition of Taylor’s “apple pie” allure.  Our triple berry pie dress, with a hint of rhubarb marks Taylor’s iconic days of the 60’s – sweet, yet tart!

“Smokey Jula’s Cafe”

Saucy blue note tones are swimming through The Vutique thanks to jazz crooner, Ms. Julie Olson.  We prepared a slinky black number for Ms. Olsen’s rhythmic debut at Tula’s jazz café.  The scene was reminiscent of the 90’s Broadway musical, “Smokey Joe’s Café” with Ms. Olson’s spiced voice, the debonair sophistication of her redefined LBD and the classic 1930’s ambiance of the lounge.

As Ms. Jula sauntered through the misty room, her voice filling every cleft, her dress followed, moving with the sway of her hips and the beat of the band.  It truly was an evening to remember with ‘Smokey Jula’s café.’

Shop Talk: Color Me Vu

Crime pays, at least at The Vutique it does and we’ve been caught red handed with some of your all time favorite fall colors.

Black is the “film noir” of vintage: it’s mysteriously mischievous, tirelessly getting the job done no matter the season – the non color of classic!  The virginal innocence associated with white has been overshadowed by its “good girl gone bad” counter part but we still love it.  White is a refreshing hue in fashion, its stark essence is almost homicidal when worn correctly, Ms Monroe did it best!  Last, but definitely not least is the sensual sophistication of red.  Bloody Mary’s, vampy crimson lipstick and the LRD (little red dress) – hello – glamour at its finest is always in red, question is are you bold enough to wear it?

Signal every siren in some of falls reprehensible colors at The Vutique!

The Vu Convertible

Now I know what you may be thinking, “is that the same piece in all 3 of the pictures?”  Yes it is, hints “The Vu Convertible!”  The chiffon, multi-purpose scarf is a creation from our in house designer and may I add it goes beyond the role of your simple scarf.  Convert your TVC (The Vu Convertible) depending on your mood; below the TVC is worn as a chic caplet, halter top and shawl, but the possibilities span much further.  With temperatures hitting the high 80’s it’s refreshing to have something stylish and light weight to throw on to help complete your look.  Did I mention it’s available in a variety of colors and prints, oh my!
