Staff Top Pick!

Yesterday we introduced all of you to the owner and founder of Shoppalu, Janice. We learned a little bit about her, her favourite inspirations, and why she loves vintage clothing. However, to gain a little bit more insight, what would Janice consider her favourite piece from the website currently? Here is what she chose:

This is the Carly Denim Studded Dress. A great reworked vintage denim dress that has been given some flare with studded detailing along the collar that helps give it some edge. This piece looks great belted, with heels or even with just a cute pair of sandals on a summer day. This dress can also be worn on a colder winter day pairing wit with a cute pair of nylons, boots and some vintage accessories.
This dress is extremely versatile and definitely a great vintage find that is perfect for today’s modern girl.

DIY Lace Pocket Shorts!

This lovely springtime weather here in New York means the return of shorts to my wardrobe! I’ve chosen my favorite pair of coral high-waisted shorts to decorate. Lace is a wardrobe essential for me, and I wanted to bring a little bit of that into my favorite pair of shorts.

Pulling off the sequin look lies in doing it right. Either you go all out - as this Hervé Leger would tempt you to do - or - it’s all in the details. Sequins can make a neutral outfit pop so add a sequin collar, or rock a piece like our sequin detail keyhole tank top.

Transitioning to Spring/Summer rock a colour block clutch or a sequin bralette under your favourite tee.
