Exciting News at Couture Allure!

FREE IMAGES
You may have noticed that the Couture Allure website and this blog have been quiet lately.  There's a very good reason for that.  I have been working very hard over the last couple of months opening 3 retail spaces where you can now buy vintage and vintage-inspired clothing, accessories and jewelry from Couture Allure live and in person!  It's been a lot of work, but I am thrilled with the results.

This is the Couture Allure space at Antiques & Uniques in Ozona, FL.  Here, you'll find vintage from the 1930s - 1970s mixed with a few modern pieces that have a bohemian vibe.  


Vintage hats, scarves, jewelry handbags, shoes and home textiles round out the mix, along with some select vintage furniture finds.

Couture Allure goes tropical at House to Home in Clearwater, FL.  Here you'll find vintage clothing and accessories in brighter prints and colors, as well as smaller furniture pieces with a true Floridian flair.

In this space, you'll find lots of 1960s - 70s clothing mixed with vintage-inspired pieces that have that beachy, patio party style.

For the fun and funky, shop my space in Patina Retro and Modern, opening soon on Main St. in Dunedin, FL.  Here's a sneak peek at some of the vintage sparkle and shine you'll find there, along with vintage lingerie and accessories.  This is where you'll see vintage from the 1950s - 80s to add a little spice and glam to your style.

If you are visiting the Gulf Coast of Florida, I hope you'll stop in to see my retail shops. The website will be back in full swing in September with loads of fabulous vintage finds for fall and winter.  I promise!

Introducing the New Couture Allure Website!

My web designer and I have been working on a Couture Allure website update all summer and it is finally live and ready for prime time!

In addition to larger pictures and easier to read descriptions, one of my favorite improvements is the ability for you to narrow down the search results within the site.  On the old site, you could search by size or era, but not both.  Now you can narrow your search within a collection to a particular size AND era!  So if you want to see the selection of vintage evening dresses in a size small from the 1950s, you can do it!

Even better?  The site is now completely optimized for use on your tablet or smart phone to make shopping even easier for you.  Now if you see something new on the site while you are out and about, you can purchase it on the go with ease and complete security.

I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback on the new site.  And please let me know if you run into any issues while perusing the new set-up so we can address those right away.  Thank you and enjoy the new Couture Allure.....Where Vintage Happens!
