Put on something vintage at Puttin’ on the Ritz

Every vintage-clothing connoisseur goes through the same weary task of rifling through racks at vintage stores in hopes of finding that one little upscale gem that’s been overlooked. This treasure hunt can be frustrating and (pun intended) wearing. Look no further, my friends. Puttin’ on the Ritz in Snider Plaza specializes in vintage collections up to a hundred years old including 20th century wedding dresses and even some classic designer labels from collections of decades passed. This is no second hand store of hand-me-downs, Puttin’ on the Ritz brings you vintage shopping at its finest. While the vintage designer clothing can cost into the thousands, you can still find some good buys in the $20 and up range to give your wardrobe a nod to those fashion trends that keep resurfacing through the test of time.

Betty Cupcake’s Sweet Spin on Fashion

Mother and daughter team Evelyn and Jacque Silverman grew up in a household with five unique women, which gives them an edge on what women really want when it coPicture 6mes to clothes. They dreamed up Betty Cupcake, a Snider Plaza boutique that caters to women from their 20’s all the way to their 60’s(!), with style that crosses boundaries, time, and generations.

With hard to find designers like Whitney Eve (designed by MTV reality star Whitney Port,) and unique jewelry pieces that will spark instant conversation, Betty Cupcake is anything but typical. Owner Jacque will make recommendations that almost always are a perfect fit and garner major compliments from friends and foes alike, so don’t be afraid to ask for her advice. Browse the shabby chic shop and find wardrobe staples that both you and your mother will love. But don’t feel like you have to share, there’s enough here to fill everyone’s closet.
