Etsy Shop of the Week: RetroFolie

By -
I went to the Renaissance Festival last weekend. This is only the second year I've gone, and it's great fun. I've been slowly assembling costume pieces. I'm just beginning to learn to sew, and I'm not made of money so my costume is all clearance clothing I try to assembly to work for the time. We've gone on Pirate weekend both times so that's helped me fit in better. What I would really like is a corset. I'm pretty picky and haven't found one that's perfect yet, but these corsets from RetroFolie on Etsy make me want to forget my list of requirements and time period desires in favor of one of these art-inspired beauties:
Alfons Mucha Corset, $290
Alfons Mucha Corset, $290
Each corset is it's own work of art.
Byzantine Mosaic Corset, $290
Byzantine Mosaic Corset, $290
They run around $250 to $350.
Birth of Venus Corset, $270
Birth of Venus Corset, $270
Custom corsets are also available.
Alfons Mucha Corset, $290

RetroFolie's website has a ton of information about the corsets and corset care.

Oh, Becca! I totally miss the Ren Fest. I went for years when we lived in metro Detroit. So jealous!


Those corsets are simply lovely.

Glad you had a good time!

Also, I am dying to know what you, Becca, and you, Jael have been wearing lately.

I always wanted to sneak a peak at what Jael was wearing when I would occasionally see her at work. Then I kind of avoided her because I didn't want her to think that I was some weirdo, stalking her. That was a genuine concern of mine.

Today, I am boring, wearing a button-down, navy blue shirt and some torn-up army-green pants. But my toenails are red, because Wednesday was my birthday.

I'll try to post some stuff to our fb page. I've been sick and working 50 hours weeks, so mostly it's jeans, heels, and a boxy blouse.

I'm sorry to hear that. I'm sure you wear your boxy blouse and jeans well.

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at ...

Dramatic Makeup

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
