Summer! We're Free!

Bonjour, mes amies!

Summer is finally coming on and we are ready to take it on! Bathing suits, hot sandals, and sexy dresses will be flying out of our closets. Can you tell we are total hot weather and sun people? Well, Nadia is finally out of school for the time being and I can come out of deep-winter hibernation, (I don't do well with snow,) so you will be seeing a lot more going on with La Caravane Bohème. In fact, Nadia's already gotten down and changed up our shop banner and avatar. They are fabulous and I can't get over how perfect they are for us!


Of course, the ubiquitous blue cart is still a part of our banner. We can never get rid of it. It embodies just what our shop and lifestyle means- taking something old and turning it into a funky, modern piece. After some extensive discussion, we have decided that dear old blue cart is here to stay. So if you happen to spy a funky wooden cart in a strange color, you know we're somewhere close by!

Some other exciting news, since we tend to get way too excited about little things: Since our shop opened, items have literally been flying out the door. We've sent that romantic pink tulle and glitter confection of a dress all the way to Sweden and the gorgeous blue 60's evening gown (seen right) found its way to Spain. Someone in Florida is prancing around in our fur collar swing coat while a dear Georgian is showing off her figure in our 70's secretary dress. I wish I could pull up the destinations of where all our wonderful items went, but this post would go on forever. We're just so happy to know that our gorgeous vintage garments have found new, loving homes.

Which begs the question, how long will that item you've been eyeing be in the shop? Hmm, I guess if you don't hurry and snatch that precious piece up, someone else might give her a good home. Summer is coming indeed and we do have some lovely skirts and dresses waiting to help cool you off in a hot summer breeze!

So, enjoy the upcoming warm days, sip some lemonade, and always, always be true to yourself and express your vintage modern side! Happy Vintaging!

Beatrice and Nadia
