I love scarves because they are so versatile for an easy, vintage inspired old hollywood look. Especially the new ones we just got in! http://shop.catslikeus.com/search?q=sash They are long enough you can wear them as belts, neck scarves and hair scarves. Here's a quick picture guide that works for long or short hair to get your creative juices going... Wrap the scarf around the top of your head to underneath your hair at the nape of your neck, and tie in a knot, letting the tails hang in the back.   Here's a version the same idea. Wrap the scarf around...

We are very excited as we've restocked all our plain circle skirts in pink, red, black and (the not so plain) black & white polka dot. While I was restocking the sales floor with these awesomely versatile skirts, it got me thinking of all the customization options. With a little imagination, some fabric glue or machine/hand sewing, you can really make the circle you've always wanted (and at a great price too, plain color circle skirts are $38!!!), it's just that simple! Since the skirt is a perfect circle, you can lay the skirt flat out and evenly space the design...

Between her running from photo shoot to photo shoot, launching her new hair flower retro accessory line "Hair Affair by Kelvis", planning her wedding, and her exclusive Retro Lovely Magazine model edition, she has little time but squeezed us in for an interview and we couldn’t be happier. Learn more about this Western New York native and you’re sure to fall in love with her just like we did! Let’s start at the beginning…What made you start modeling Kelvis? What do you like the most about it? The least? People have always said to me, "You should model."... but I never...

What are you wearing tonight? If you love the dance world as much as I do, you’ve probably come to learn that the experience truly becomes complete when donning a fabulous outfit. I first stepped into a dimly lit club filled with swing dancers longer ago than I care to admit and there has been no turning back. I was swept into a new culture of reviving dance moves from the 30s, 40s and 50s faster than you can say “Shim-Sham” and hand in hand with the dances came the incredible urge to dress the part. At first I was...

"Color is my day-long obsession, joy and torment." ~Claude Monet    We often feel the same way as Monet, especially when it comes to our wardrobe... Why do we wear the colors that we do?

With all the styles and colors that have come and gone and come back again, there are a lot to choose from....

It's the perfect accessory...

Hello Ladies and Gents… Well mostly the Gents, the name is Jonny Pomade and I’m here to review.....well…Pomade. I would first like to say that I’m a Pomade Addict. I’ve been using the stuff for years and there’s no end in sight. For those who do not know what pomade is.. ..Wikipedia describes it as a “Waxy and Greasy substance used to style hair”. I’ll admit that’s a fairly dead on description. Pomade can be used to shape a persons hair into many different styles, most commonly the Pompadour.  I recently had the pleasure to try out two different water-based...
