last waltz

i apologize for things being a little off center in the post below. typepad has been SEVERELY trying my patience lately; when i get the time i'll be moving to another platform. if you have questions about any of these items, get in touch!

happy summertime, friends! cute new things in store from victoria, bc based floating gold iceburg:
the roundneck top in eyelet, with some subtle screenprinting on the cowl neck:            

the lone star top is one of my favorites. i love the subtle screenprinting details (the dark leaves) and the neck shape. these tops come in a range of different pretty prints.

 the roundneck puff sleeve top with  flower detail at the neck:

this dress is from new york based sublet clothing. it's 100% organic cotton, and so flattering! this always comes in a light olive green with black contrast ribbon below the bustline.

i've got lots of lovely new jewelry in as well! emily baker of clever castle was kind enough to make last waltz some one of a kind pieces using her usual round car parts, as well as pyrite (fool's gold) leather, and shell.

next up are pieces from portland's alisha alderman; brightly colored enamel on metal. all of these pieces come in other colors:

the ginkgo necklace:

the triple heart necklace:

the single star necklace (star earrings are also available)

and finally, fabric and metal pieces from chicago's cursive design:

ok! now a few announcements:

saturday, JULY 5th is a big day. from noon - 6pm is our summer sidewalk sale. i'll have lots of vintage, all $10 and under, plus new clothing up to 70% off, not to mention accessories and other goodies on sale. i'll also have some homeade warm weather treats to share.

stick around that evening from 6pm - 9pm for the opening party for the last waltz july art show, new paintings by irene wood.

   

this little number is from seattle's own prairie underground, in 100% organic cotton-hemp. it also comes in a dark, eggplant-y purple. i love the exposed zipper detail. hubba hubba!

the funnel neck dress, also in organic cotton, also in black.

the sundial shirt-dress is my favorite from prairie underground. perfect for summer (which will happen eventually, right?) with great contrast stitch detailing.

 

the sweetheart wrap dress from emily katz, made for summer in hand-dyed organic hemp-cotton (also comes in lavender).

kate organics is new to last waltz, but they're already a favorite. the movie star dress in organic cotton gauze is classic, and it also comes in a vibrant tomato red. the button detail at the back is my favorite.

adorable silk-blend short-shorts from LA designer dawn sharp can be dressed up or down.

also from dawn sharp, a mini-skirt and crop top in the same dove grey silk blend. love the back of the top!

and last from dawn sharp, a mini tank dress with low back and black lace crossover.

from brooklyn's mociun, hand-printed tank and neckerchief, paired with a vintage skirt. (i also have some really cute hand-screened oversized totes from mociun).

i almost forgot! i have more prairie underground organic ruched leggings in stock, in grey and black.

and the ballet tee (available in pink, cream, black and dusty lavener), paired here with a vintage high waisted skirt.
