Mother's Day Gift Ideas from Tattered Rose

Just a few (of the many) gift ideas Tattered Rose has for Mother's Day.....coming up soon (May 14th)

Our new honey-almond soap and a crystal brooch or pretty lace scarf would make a lovely gift for Mom. That and spending time with her. ♥

Grunge Nouveau

Many of you may recall the period of the early 1990's called "Grunge". Although grunge originated as a music & style movement in Seattle in the early 90's, it was Marc Jacobs' 1993 collection that made it famous & fabulous, in my humble opinion.

He sent models down the runway in long floral print dresses worn as dusters over jeans and mixed with plaids and other patterns & elements that had never been shown together quite that way before.

The thing that I fell in love with most was the juxtaposition of the combat block heel boots worn with maxi floral print dusters and dresses. That pairing seemed to bring a playful note to the often feminine dresses....the mix of pretty with rugged that has always captured my heart & imagination.

It was the way I dressed when I lived in the country with my family.....my own style that mixed farmgirl with boyfriend, only there was no such thing back then (in the dark ages) I just wanted to dress differently from the rest so for me to wear work boots with a long dress and long johns was the norm. It got attention from many of my friends who laughed at me but then who copied my style the next year. By then, I had changed things up a bit because I really had to be different. Middle children often have to find their own way of being noticed and for me, it was the clothes I wore and my sense of humour.

Fast forward to the 1990's when it was an epiphany of sorts....more like Déjà vu (already seen) because THIS was my style before I ever heard of grunge or Marc Jacobs or Nirvana (the band) It was a welcome home kind of feeling that I embraced then and have worn some version of ever since. It is my vibe and I share this with some of our customers who love to dress this way, even if they don't call it "grunge" it is definitely romantic.

Elements of Grunge are present in Tattered Rose and it seems that this way of dressing is "back" in fashion. Boots like the ones shown here (available at Tattered Rose) when worn with a ruffled floral & lace maxi dresses, skirts or dusters evoke the spirit of a rebel....one who always prefers to follow her own path.

So for those of you who love the style of romantic, grunge, gypsy, Victorian farmgirl....Tattered Rose has you covered. We are calling this style "Grunge Nouveau" because it is a modified version of the grunge style of the past....meant to suit our customers of today.

Distressed Denim is Always the Best

We are lovin' this dark, distressed denim jacket we got in for Spring. It is just the right colour and the distressing gives it that loved, lived in denim look we all want....like you've had it for years and it has stories to tell if it could talk. Thank goodness it can't!

Best worn with bottoms.

Tattered Rose is featuring our home decor in a new way....and we now have an antique bed in the store to help us!

Our bed this month features a colour palette of black, grey & blue. It has a very Romantic-Gothic-Victorian-Dickens look about it, we think....like a lot of our clothing!

We also have our beloved honey-almond soap coming very soon...in luxurious bars of pure heavenly aroma.
