The Slow Era

08/26/2026

Modeling clothes in my backyard without the help of others reminded me of how far I’ve come. For years, this was my norm and a regular part of my hustle. Now, it’s already been a year and a half since opening my storefront. This was a good reminder that it’s just as important to reflect on the journey.

I hope you’ll also take a moment to reflect on all the things that led you to this point. It’s easy to keep chasing the next big thing, forgetting that you’re in a place you once dreamed of being. Remember all of the sweat and tears. All that you’ve overcome to get to THIS point, where you are RIGHT NOW in the present moment. It’s just as important to celebrate your strides and small wins as it is to dream big. They remind us how capable we are and help us create the next moment.✨

Anyway, here are some dresses,skirts, and a sequin jacket coming online this week in sizes Large-2X from the 1940s-1990s.

Keep an eye for on our stories for direct links. Shipping or store pick-up always available at checkout. Each one is already available in-store if you’re ready to snag❤️

Love you,
Xo Malena
