ch-ch-changes

 

as regulars already know, we've had a birth in the c&c family. and this change has resulted in some shuffling of routines and schedules. after a lot of thought, we have decided that effective march 1, 2012, 

we will be closed on tuesdays

this is probably a temporary change, and we will surely update on blog, facebook, and yelp if/when needed.

 

thanks so much for your support!

happy NEW year

we hope everyone had a happy holiday season! we have spent the first days of this new year working on the shop and planning future improvements :)  just in the past week, we have rearranged sections, added loads of fresh-from-estates midcentury hats and purses (with more to come), and priced a new batch of one-of-a-kind rings.

midcentury delights are now up front!

purses on top, with vintage patterns and fabric available in the drawers below

cheers to a lovely 2012!

ferragam-oh!

 an estate sale last week brought a whole closet full of ferragamos to the shop.

 some are simple while others boast delightful details--but all of them are classic!

 they are all marked 8 narrow or 8.5 narrow, which could translate to anywhere from a 7 to 8.5 narrow depending on the shoe.

come find your italian cinderella slipper!

and the winner is...

and the winner of our first monthly show-us-your-style drawing is...Lance!

Lance and his friends Leslie and Kemba actually came into our shop for the first time this month while they were travelling through town for work. Kerry told them about our contest and they sent us great photos they took during an impromptu photo shoot in their hotel room!
We look forward to their next visit, when Lance can spend his $25 gift certificate.

since we conceived the contest as a way of thanking our local regulars--and because we are still celebrating two years of crimson & clover!--we decided to do another drawing for a runner up who will receive a $15 gift certificate. and that winner is Nicole!  the photo above was her entry, but you have no doubt noticed her rad personal style around town or featured on local blogs like street style sacramento.

thanks to all those who entered! and please do enter again during december to be part of this month's drawing.

xo, c&c

did you enter our contest yet? (and other notes...)

gabi entered our contest, wearing skirt, belt and purse from c&c

 

there are still a few more days to get in on our november drawing for a $25 gift certificate. just post a pic of yourself wearing an outfit featuring something you got at c&c on our facebook page to enter....

this saturday, support local businesses and knock out some of that holiday shopping around town. stick it to the man and shop tax-free all day at c&c (i.e. we'll pay your tax and leave a little extra change in your wallet for more important things...)

did you catch this lil feature on kara at the stay fancy free blog?

this week we had the pleasure of meeting yvonne and her friend, june, who brought to the shop much of yvonne's wardrobe from the 1950s-1970s. she was hoping that we might be able to find good homes for her old clothes....we think we can make that possible ;)

photos above feature just a few pieces. more to come, along with offerings from our other Fall/Winter stash.

happy October.  xo, c&c

and kerry makes three

just realized we never properly announced that our c&c family has grown with the addition of our friend kerry. 

 that's right, we stole her away from her job and made her join our circus :) 

p.s. and lil 'chop makes four!

whether the thermometer is cooperating or not, Fall has arrived. the bathing suits have been put in storage for the season in order to make room for other goodies.  as promised, we have begun to unleash the Fall/Winter pieces we have been storing for months. above are photos of just some of the new stock put out in the last week.  and there's so much more to come....

vintage & vines

wish we had remembered to take more pictures, but here is just a tiny peek at what was the first annual Vintage and Vines event at Oak Farm Vineyards in Lodi, Ca

it was a sweet little evening of fashion, local wines, and fresh appetizers.

 Sacramento was well-represented by three local boutiques (ours plus Vintage YSJ and Fringe) and a trio of bloggers (hey girls!). we had the pleasure of seeing a few of our regular shoppers and made many new friends, too.

the event is going annual, so we will keep you posted when another rolls around.

thank you to our lovely customer cheryl and Oak Farm Vineyards for inviting us to be a part of event!
