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

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...)

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
