Some of our hems are available in a local store, Blend Fashion, in Pleasant Grove, UT. They have Effie's Dessert, Neenie's Cup of Tea in Chammomile, and also Damsel in Distress in Blush. Vintage Hem slips are a great addition to their inventory which caters toward the modesty minded customer, One of my favorite lines they carry is Undertease designed by Suzie Broadbent. Get hot tips on the trends by visiting the Blend blog. For all of you that love to shop online you can also browse their shopper friendly website which features several affordable style options.
The store, Blend Fashions. was created from the ideas of two dynamic women.

Shellie Slade, co-founder of modbod, wanted to have a clothing line that her girls would be able to wear. "It's so difficult to find dresses and clothes for my daughters that are not revealing" So in 2004 ModBod was created and evolved from their MiniMod line, to their ModBod line and now into more trendy fashionable clothes for the modern body.

Amanda Behrbom, creator of Blend Fashions, was tired of finding the same fashions in Utah. So after partnering up with Undertease and Shellie she decided to bring the two companies together and create a new trend. Only in our modern store, Blend Fashions, will you find ModBod and Undertease in the same place. "I wanted women to fall in love with our unique styles that you can easily layer with our modbod's or our Undertease shirts." With our modbod fashion line nothing is over $75 dollars and for those looking for a higher line of clothing we will have our boutique side of our Undertease fashion line. We are so excited for this new combination of companies and can't wait for you to experience it yourself!

VH Featured Boutique, Hip Chic

The featured Hip Chic Boutique is located in Historic Camp Bowie Mercantile and has a manager with an eye for detail. During the design process of Hip Chic boutique, Chris hand picked paint colors, fabric swatches, and display fixtures to create the perfect atmosphere for her customer. During market she was carrying around her color board and samples. I can tell from her excitement that her passion will carryover into her customer service making a visit to her store feel like you are meeting up with an old friend.

That feeling was created by the boutique being brought into existence by a pair of friends. Her and her longtime friend Brenda have successfully created a romantic store for the refined shopper. Texas women love to layer and are very elegant in their apparel. These two friends below Brenda & Chris have a lot to offer shoppers at Hip Chic Boutique.
The store carries several of our Vintage Hems including Effie's Dessert in Dark Biscotti and Lady Vanilla and also our customer favorite, Have a Ball in all black. You can view more of the product lines that they carry by visiting their website at Hip Chic Boutique. The store is located amidst a mecca of 200 shops offering antiques, jewelry, fashion, and decor. I hope you bring a good shopping buddy if you decide to visit. I would pack a snack because it sounds like you will be in there for a long time!!!

Clothed Much

Congrats to the winner of a Vintage Hem slip on the Eliza Magazine Blog giveaway. Eliza announced the lucky blogger on their blog and she is a local, Elaine H. from Salt Lake City. She won an all black, Have A Ball tulle slip. Elaine writes about her penchant for fashion on her blog titled Clothed Much. Elaine even has a fashion illustration depicting her; you can see how cute it is above.

The Gals at Vintage Hem love love love Eliza Mag because it highlights today's hot fashions in an uplifting and artful way that celebrates womanhood. It is classic style full of fresh sass. Here is a preview Editor Summer Bellessa gave about their newest issue highlighting travel:

Open the matte pages of our travel issue and embark on an intercontinental experience. We start in lovely Paris with fashion stories “French Kiss” and “Ooh La La” and a much needed “Chocoholics’ Guide.” Then we soak up the British style in “Hello London.” Head east and you will discover our travel picks for Jordan. Keep going to learn about Eastern medicine.

Then jet set to Nigeria, previous home of actress Hope Olaide Wilson; Oppegård, Norway is home to singer Sissy Wish; see “Russia with Love” for beauty inspiration; and in Peru see how “Micro-Loans can Save the World.”

Plasticland, VH Featured Boutique

So What is Plasticland?
by Jordan & Rebecca, Owners

The first thing we are always asked is, "How did you come up with the name?" Naming the company "Plasticland" was our little tongue-in-cheek way of poking fun at the fashion world and all that it encompasses – from Fake Breasts, to Barbie Dolls, to Paris Hilton, and so on... there is always something in fashion that is so ridiculous and plastic. The name reminds us that Fashion is all just in fun and that we should never take ourselves too seriously :)

We (Rebecca Nyhus & Jordan Berry) started Plasticland back in 2002 as an alternative to the super trendy, cookie-cutter fashions found at the mall. Both of us being artists, we craved a much more unique selection of products that would allow us to express our own individual style. Influenced by a love for music, art, black & white movies, comics & cartoons, all things Japanese, and almost anything from the 50's - Plasticland was born in San Diego, California, in the vibrant uptown Hillcrest district - the perfect match for an alternative fashion boutique. In 2005, the lure of the internet got to us, and we made the decision to close our beloved boutique. A sad day for sure, but we were very excited to focus solely on the new frontier of online business! So we packed our bags and left California, heading east for the great state of Texas.

With our new digs polished and prepped, we were able to expand our site from a fashion boutique, to a lifestyle boutique - adding home decor and gift items to our ever growing catalog of retro, punk, mod, rockabilly, gothic, urban, and Japanese street inspired fashions. We are also looking forward to future expansion through an exclusive line of products that we are designing just for our site – coming soon! Though business has grown enormously since we started, we have kept the company small and continue to run it ourselves to ensure a more personal experience for our customers. We hope you enjoy our website, and have the best possible online experience at ShopPlasticland.com! If for any reason you don't, please don't hesitate to tell us, we promise we will always do our best to make our customers happy.

Plasticland carries our Have a Ball tulle slip in all black.
