I'm SO inspired by 60's fashion..it's so much fun to explore and think of ways to merge classic pieces with modern to make them yours.

Keep it classic but add a fun fabric.

Go BOLD!

Adding a pair of funky heels to a simple dress or some denim will MAKE an outfit..

Fall Trend Alert: Inspiration from the fall issue of Harper's Bazaar

The tuxedo for women is so in this fall and you can keep it feminine with this amazing Nicole Studio wide-legged pant suit.

Metallics are so hot right now...

Just added to the Swift collection, the perfect cocktail dress! Black with nude underslip and the entire dress is hand beaded...its absolutely gorgeous!

Very similar to the new Hugo Boss collection but, a fraction of the cost.

And of course, it wouldn't be Fall without Halloween! Are you ready?? Swift has just added 3 racks of amazing one-of-a-kind vintage costumes to the store, here are just a few!

SWIFT HAS BEEN SAVED!!!

I'm proud to announce that the little boutique with the hot pink door that we've all loved for the last 8 years, is here to stay..

Most of you have probably seen my face in the shop at one point but I'd like to officially

introduce myself... I'm Jessica and I've been a customer of Swift since the beginning. For all you Swift fans out there, I'm happy to announce that I'm one of the proud new owners that have the honor of continuing the legacy of amazing vintage in Burbank.

Edie and I will be the two new faces @ Swift and we want you all to know our philosophy is, If it aint' broke, don't fix it! Things will remain the same, but we have added a few of our own vintage gems to the collection.

We will be open for business this Friday so stop by and say hi! We look forward to another 8+ years of business, fun, and friends.

XOXO

Trend Spotting-Neon

noreply@blogger.com (Swift) — Wed, 25 Jul 2012 18:00:00 +0000

                         It's been no surprise that the biggest fashion trend to hit 2012 is NEON.
         Hold it-before you think the 80s are back, this look can transform your wardrobe into a chic
       minimalistic look all the way to mod perfection. Pull yourself away from the traditional boho
                        summer outfit and get inspired by the lush colors of a botanical garden.

                                   One of the ways to wear neon this season is color blocking.
      This style pulls away from accessories and focuses on the pops of color that create your outfit.
              It's a fun way to mix and match different colors while being figure slimming friendly.
                When color blocking you can also throw in a neutral color to balance your look out.

                              Another way to add neons into your outfit is with an accessory.
                            Since trends come and go this approach can help you save money
         while still keeping you in the fashion loop. Check out how this fashionista incorporated the
             trend with her vintage dress. See how easy it is to add the trend into your wardrobe!

Nylon Magazine also shows you ways to rock neons for the fall season.
I love the juxtaposition of a neon and a plaid.

At Swift we have shades of electric hues ready to pair with your vintage finds.
Heart Purse also available in pink for $39 and Cutout Cuff in various colors and styles for $12.

These statement making heels! Don't be fooled by the heel, these platforms are comfortable.
Available in different sizes for $34.95

                                                   Which colors will you try this season?
                                                  How will you add them into your closet?

How To Mix Prints

noreply@blogger.com (Swift) — Wed, 18 Jul 2012 18:00:00 +0000

For this look I wanted to pull together a resort wear outfit. I was inspired by my knit striped bralet.

When mixing prints, I recommend taking one article of clothing and building your outfit off from it.

This will help blend the different prints and keep your outfit looking consistent and stylish.

I chose this bralet because it's super cute and trendy for the season. I love it's 1960s retro look.

The varying stripe colors make it easy to find a different printed bottom.

I went with these polka dot pants because they're a comfy blousy fit, perfect for summer weather.
The navy and nude colors pair well with the similar striped shades of the bralet.
*If you're new to mixing prints, I suggest you stick to pairing prints with similar neutral colors.

               When mixing prints, my only rule is to use only two different prints per outfit.
                   This is to help prevent my outfit from looking like a jumbled hot mess.
            This time I couldn't help but break it. I just love these floral printed cork wedges!

                          Of course to complete my resort wear look, I needed a floppy summer hat.
                       The rust color and style really helps bring the prints and overall look together.
                                                      It just screams take me on a vaca!

                                                                So there you have it!
                                                       Mixing prints is as easy as 1-2-3!
                                                  Now get in that closet and start mixing!

                         Polka dot pants and floral wedges are from Swift Boutique and Sewing Studio
                                           Located at 3216 West Magnolia Blvd. in Burbank, Ca

How to girl's night for $10-Parisian movie night

noreply@blogger.com (Swift) — Wed, 06 Jun 2012 21:00:00 +0000

For less than $10 a girl, these quick mid-week soirees are cheap, easy, and fantastique!
Everyone brings a little something.

Flowers from Fresh n Easy store and I mixed in some Mexican Sage from my yard.The best chocolate truffles are from Trader Joes. Look for a dark red triangular box and be sure to defrost them. Very addicting!

My favorite get-togethers are the casual movie nights I throw together with my girlfriends. These simple soirées make the middle of the week bearable and rejuvenate me until the weekend arrives. It's super easy for busy work weeks and busy moms too. Try one this week.

Creme fraiche(Fresh and Easy Markets) and strawberries halved

3 easy steps:
1. Buy French inspired treats
2. Click on a French favorite on Netflix
3. Enjoy and catch up!
Voila

Croissants & macaroons (Trader Joe's)
