We’ll be celebrating 4 years of Roulette Vintage with a Party on Sunday, August 2nd!    1-4 PM

This year’s party theme is Tropical Island!  So get your outfit ready!  We’ll have prizes for the best ones.  Wear anything that makes you think of island breezes, Hawaii, the Caribbean, Pirates, Sailors, parrots, palm trees…fruit.
Or just come as you are and get your tropicon with some tropical punch!

We’ll also have some snacks, Island Punch, Games and more!  Hope to see you there!

Thanks so much to all of you who have supported us, we think you’re great!

Thanks so much to everyone who came out to our Anniversary Party!  It was a lot of fun.  I can’t really decide which I enjoyed more: seeing all the smiling faces or watching everyone dance in the cake walk…
The fashion was definitely something!  So many great outfits!

And the winners are:
Most awesome Roulette Vintage outfit goes to Kat!   She wore a great 70’s mini halter dress and matching eyelet gloves.

Best outfit you made yourself goes to Erika, who actually brought a mannequin with another outfit she made.  She wore a really cute vest and skirt with contrast stitching.  We can’t wait to see what she comes up with next!

And the Most wonderful Vintage outfit (not from Roulette) was a tight race, but one lady stood out among the rest.
Jane Welsh!  She not only had on a great 50’s dress, but she also had a blue hat with a feather, and fishnet gloves to match her stockings!  Absolutely lovely!
And we had a runner-up too good to pass up: Miranda rocked a gorgeous 60’s teal floral cocktail dress with a huge flashy cocktail ring.
Our judges, Jessica and Michelle, were great, we gave them group hugs for being so awesome!  There were so many more wonderful outfits!  Make sure you go to our Flickr site to check some of them out.
And thanks again to everyone for all the support!  We wouldn’t have made it 3 years without y’all.

Love,
Kara and Rebecca
