Still Summer

Seasons change - we know they do...sometimes we even wish they would just get on with it already.  Just when the heatwave had us all crying "when", thankfully things have backed off a little, and the weather can take a backseat in this ride we call life in the Capital City.

 Summer's still with us & we love it best when is comes to style -  the livin' is easy & color is everywhere...even if there's a little less green than we'd like.  Now, as Mom used to say - get back outside and play!

Decadence - recycled belt cuffs

A little Decadence is a good thing - especially when it comes to accessorizing with these stand-out leather cuffs.  Andrew Kingsbury's 'Decadence' line is sturdily constructed of recycled belts and leather scraps.  Great for girls and guys, we have a great selection of styles and sizes. $13. to $32.00

Acanthus Hoodies in July

Even though there is a heat wave everywhere I am still getting requests for hoodies. So here they are! I reprinted the Indian hoodie and then printed a couple of new ones. The first is an eco-fleece hoodie with the snake design in red.  The second is a new hoodie style, the burnout fleece zip hoodie from Alternative Apparel.  This hoodie features our spaceman design.

Everything is available at Vitae Design Collective and on Etsy, www.acanthusapparel.etsy.com.
