sequins and piercings.

Despite being a madwoman on a sewing spree today, I wasn't able to get a second for an outfit shot. So I ended up rampaging through my old photographs from last winter and viola! Though most 80's sequin dresses tent to be either mother-in-law long or RuPaul's next sexy showcase, I instantly fell in love with this sequined mini. Not only does it have a unique deco-inspired sequins, its also a relaxed tent shape because honestly when you just want to dance and not worried about your ladies popping out...it's a dream come true.

And dammit...I'm insanely temped to get my snakebites done again. I loved mine to death but parted because they were incorrectly pierced and still hurt like hell after 1.5 years. But the debate is should I prove that one can be 20-something and rock 'em or should I leave 'em for the Hot Topic tots?

As I had posted before, I'm a true Kubanskaya Russian at heart when it comes to seasons. I'm obsessed with rain. Seattle may actually become our next home simply because of the cold rainy climate. But due to V's pleading that I don't always dress like a displaced Russian or a high school goth, I forced myself to throw one something that definitely has more definition of spring than any other preferred item in my closet. 

As a child, my Mama had always collected dishes of all sorts. Czech, Chinese, Russian...you name it. I've just always been fascinated with the delicate print and design of antique dishware, simply because I've always been a klutz and well that says it all. I fell in love with this dress instantly because of the delicate detail print and sheer sleeves. Ended up pairing it with a thrifted sunhat, nude tights and beige platforms. For a "psychological" goth, this was quite a venture that I'm glad I tried on.

spring fever.

though i prefer the dark and gloomy overcast of winter, there's just something about spring. whether its the thick cloud of chokingly thick pollen, the nonstop chirping of dateless birdies, the cellulite playing peek-a-boo with my shorter hemlines or perhaps the daily battle at the pharmacy line over alcohol or allergy pills. needless to say alcohol wins. but so can you. 

we've added tons more inventory to RED SQUARE VINTAGE that'll make anyone ready for this spring. with everything from wild ethnic designs, intricate embroidery, insane floral prints, summery babydolls and the classic black cocktail minis.  better yet - we've also included a wide variety of sizes from the enviously thin to the curvy gals (like myself) and every doll in between. remember all dresses start UNDER $20!
