Some Thoughts About Colour....from Tattered Rose & Company




To colour or not to colour......for some of us, that is not a choice we make...it is just who we are.

For some of us, wearing colour is like holding a big sign that says "Look at me!" and our innermost wallflower just can't handle attention like that. 

We'd rather walk around as if in anonymity, doing the things we have to do with hardly a ripple in our cool, dark waters. We know who we are and we don't need to be the centre of attention all the time.

For others, wearing colour is like breathing...it's just a part of who they are. They walk fearless in this world, boldly facing what ever comes their way. Colour makes them happy.

They do not shy away from the limelight and sometimes they even wear the colour lime....but usually, it is red or yellow because, let's face it: This world would be pretty dull if all we ever saw was shades of black & grey.
 
Except, of course for those of us who only WEAR black and grey! We love our shady little world of dark colours.

So wear your colours or non-colours....be true to yourself and never let anyone dull your sparkle or put a damper on your darkness.

With love,

From Tattered Rose
The people who bring you choices: colours and non-colours.

Exploring the World Around Us

This Saturday, October 22nd, Tattered Rose is doing something completely different. 

The store WILL NOT BE OPEN but we will instead have a mini pop-up store (along with some other vendors) at the above location in St. Albert.


We look forward to meeting some new customers and perhaps seeing a few familiar faces if you can make it.

About Us

Don't let the name fool you....we are NOT a tattoo shop, nor a consignment or vintage shop (although we DO have the odd vintage piece)

Tattered Rose is an eclectic boutique that cannot be defined by one term or word. We have many one-of-a-kind designs that can only be found in Tattered Rose (designed and made by the owner). But we also have bridal and grad wear, casual clothing, jewellery, sweaters, tulle skirts, accessories, jersey clothing, and so much more.

It really has to be seen in person to see what we mean when we say "it's different" but the clothing isn't always tattered....only when it has to be.

Do you like Helena Bonham Carter's style?

This is going to be one exciting fall at Tattered Rose!

We kick things off with a dynamic photo shoot this weekend. Our model is a beautiful young red-haired woman who will be wearing outfits designed just for her & the shoot! Colours & styles befitting a fairy-tale princess but totally wearable in the real world....hard to describe so you'll just have to come and see for yourself. 

These one-of-a-kind designs will be available (to purchase) at Tattered Rose next week. We're talking Paris couture-inspired clothing...like nothing you will find anywhere else (in Edmonton) because they are our own exclusive designs.

After that, let's see, shall we?

Woo-hoo!
