Well, have no fear, we've got a crash course on how to...

As I sit here sipping my morning coffee it's hard to think of basking in the warm summer sun while lounging next to the pool with a tiki drink in hand, because it's January and I live on the snowy East Coast. Before I lament about the cold, ice and snow some more, there is hope! My beacon of hope is the Luau on the Lake in Lake George, NY that I will be attending in June. I booked my hotel room and now I'm on the hunt for some new garb to adorn myself while I get my tiki on....

What makes you think about getting a new dress? Well there are many occasions to wear a dress if you don’t wear one everyday. There’s always weddings, showers, graduations, recitals, reunions, vacations, dances, fancy dinners, fundraisers, cocktail parties, funerals and birthday parties just to name a few. The advantage to wearing a dress to these events is that you don’t have to find two things to match; it’s one piece you can wear that looks stylish and sharp. Also, dresses can be very cool to wear in hot climates, are great for layering, and offer comfort that constricting clothing like...

Hi everyone, I’m Julie Ann, the gal you see in the pictures on the Cats Like Us website and on the postcards in the red dress. I never intended to be the model for Cats Like Us. Afterall, I’ve never modeled as you can probably tell. People have told me I’m very photogenic and back when I was 15 years old JCPenney approached my mom and they wanted to know if I would model for their catalog. My mom asked me if I was interested and I said “no”. I guess if I had said “yes” my life would be...

We just made our yearly mecca to Las Vegas for the always fun Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekender, and I finally had a moment to sit down to blog about our trip. Since VIVA is basically a work trip for us, this should be pretty short, but our trip always seems to be punctuated with a usual amount of fun random happenings. Part tourguide, part behind-the-scenes, this blog post looks to illustrate just SOME of the fun to be had at VIVA! Wednesday On our first day we made our mandatory trip to the Charleston Antique Mall. We've been there...

A few months ago I did a in-store seminar titles, Retro Fits For YOU and the idea of the seminar was to help women find some body positivity and give guidance on how to find the proper fit for retro style clothing. Size is a sensitve subject with most women, we are surrounded by a world that is either telling us we're too fat or were too thin. We are confused by shopping either online or in a physical store, because of things like vanity sizing or labels like, 'misses', 'juniors', 'plus size', etc. We are taught to try and...

  I've been decking our halls with balls of kitsch-mas, fa-la-la, hahaha!!! I have to admit I'm not a holiday fanatic, I think I have been hardened by working retail for over 15 years and my birthday is December 19th...but that's another story. I am not a grinch, yet I am certainly not clamoring to listen to Christmas music when the date strikes November 29th. You won't see me stringing up lights and belting out carols in the streets, but I will share some merriment (*cough wine cough*) with you anytime!  (I may have gone a little crazy with the glue...

Here is the second half of our trip to the New England Shale-Up! 2015. I think the sign posted (above) pretty much explains that it is a party! Saturday Sept 26 Up-and-at-'em, all ready to vend at 9am! We vended at the car show this year and gave away a $50 gift certificate and crinoline from Malco Modes. A big THANK YOU to everyone that stopped by the booth, both new and old customers. I didn't have time to walk around the car show, but I did snap a photo of the car that was in front of our booth....
