favorite shop friday: liza rietz

Liza Rietz designs and makes clothes. Her designs are so fresh and unique and yet so classically familiar.

I like knowing I can be the 1920s flapper (the ultimate modern woman) that I always wanted to be...

I like that I can be pretty and ruffly and feminine (like every modern woman wants to be, deep down inside)...

And I love that I can wear a gorgeous hat!

Why don't modern people wear hats anymore like they use to? Well, we can all start wearing them again because how can we resist Liza's "cloche"(French for "bell-shaped") hats? They will make our heads so much better looking!

If you're lucky enough to live in the Portland area you can visit her studio and shop in person: http://www.lizarietz.com/. Or if you're unlucky like me then you can buy them at http://lizarietz.etsy.com/.
