Happy Canada Day!

Enjoy your day as you wish...with loved ones and kitty cats (who are also loved ones)

Tattered Rose is closed for Canada Day but we are back to our regular hours on Thursday (11-4)

What to wear when it's raining.......

Today's a different day (from yesterday), all gloomy, overcast and damp...a very Gothic day.

I just look at this as "permission" to wear my black clothing and not look totally weird. Wearing black in summer is not always understood by people who prefer colourful and light clothing during the summer.

Luckily, for those of us who love wearing dark colours, like black and grey and darker black and charcoal....a day like this is perfect♥

Shades of Pink...the Softness of a Rose

Tattered Rose has some of the softest & prettiest shades of pink clothing around......just waiting for you to remember how feminine the colour PINK is.....but not in a girly, candy pink sort of way nor implying any lack of strength.

It's just a pretty colour to wear and incorporate into your existing wardrobe. Think of the combinations: pink & denim (jeans)...pink & brown....pink & grey....pink & black....pink & cream....pink & white....pink & taupe....pink & red....pink & blue. It really IS so versatile & lovely ♥

The Grunge-y World of Tattered Rose

In my life, heart & soul, the grunge look of the early 90's has never been far away. I was dressing that way long before I ever heard the word "grunge" and I have been in love with the idea of it ever since.

You don't have to be head-to-toe grunge....a little goes a long way: such as a pair of combat boots worn with a maxi dress & sweater coat.....or a plaid shirt worn a lace scarf and your fav pair of tattered jeans.

Grunge lives at Tattered Rose for those who see the possibilities♥

JUNE BRIDE

The GHOST BRIDE of Marie Antoinette is hanging out in Tattered Rose' window.......she's not scary.
She's really quite pretty in her ivory lace and tattered jeans.

Lace Shrugs & Roses

Look at what the fairies left in the trees for you to wear....a sweet rose print cami top and lace shrug......oh my♥

BAROQUE Romance

Coming this Fall to Tattered Rose:  BAROQUE Romance

♥Shop Local in Edmonton♥

Edmonton is such a diverse city with lots of choices when it comes to shopping......from West Edmonton Mall to all of the little boutiques found in so many nooks and crannies throughout the city, including Tattered Rose.
It's what makes the shopping in our city so interesting....many have said it is even better than Calgary.
Please try to shop local and not give your dollars to online stores that are somewhere else in the world. I know that once in a while, it is unavoidable....like when you can't sleep because your husband is snoring at 3:00 am and there are no local stores open to shop at.....
But aside from those instances, if you make it your goal to get out and see your city, support your local shops and markets, it will mean that we can continue to be as diverse and beautifully charming as we can be.
Let's make Calgary jealous.......in a friendly-rivalry-sort-of-way.

Love,
Tattered Rose

Corsets and Bustiers and Crinolines....Oh My!

The clothing we sell at Tattered Rose is romantic in a way that is both urban and nostalgic........we kinda like it that way and we hope you will too♥

Enamoured with Lace

The lace throw on the bed in our spare room has captured the attention of our cats....one by one, they have taken turns lying on the antique lace throw atop the bed.......why, I don't know, but
they are Tattered Rose cats, that's for sure!
