(Shoo)'s Gone Vintage!

(Shoo) Madison has gone vintage! We are now featuring a vintage collection in our newly re-modeled basement, featuring tons of fun cardigans, sweater dresses, and jackets for winter. Stop in and check it out!

Maria channels her inner fashionista in this brown tweed jacket and gold knee-length dress. We love that this jacket can be dressed-up or dressed-down, an essential piece for any woman's closet this season. (Shoo) has a wide selection of jackets in our new vintage collection, both for outdoor use or business wear.

Above, Maria gets cozy in this belted sweater dress, paired with our Frances shoe by Miss L-Fire. This stylish piece, with a 1980's feel, is great paired with funky tights this winter or statement heels for a night out.

Maria shows off another unique piece here, in this 1970's tennis-style dress. Slip on this dress and you're ready to channel your inner 70's housewife. We love this piece with low heels for a lunch date or an afternoon stroll through downtown.

Undoubtedly a favorite, this vintage piece is sure to be a head turner. The embroidered top brings color and flair to the dress, while the bow makes it flirty and cute. We also love this dress with a great pair of tights in the winter or worn by itself on warmer summer days.

Mad, for Mad Men Inspired Shoes

The popular TV show Mad Men has taken viewers back to the 1960's advertising world in New York. The (shoo) world has been influenced by the show's aesthetic. AMC describes the series as, " sexy, stylized, and provacative," and our latest arrivals are just that!

Above, Pat channels his inner Don Draper wearing these throw-back oxfords. John Fluevog CBC is a classic brown leather oxford, but the aqua laces give these shoes a modern twist that will surely turn heads at the office or while walking down State Street.


The classic oxford look continues with J Shoes Duel. Toe cap detailing. Charcoal leather. Only one word comes to mind: sleek.


And now onto the ladies . . .


Starting on the left we have Mollie Johnson by John Fluevog, Frances by Miss L-Fire, and Flourish by J Shoes


In the photo above, Jen wears Flourish by J-Shoes. This sexy black leather pump features button detailing and a combination of patent and matte leather finishes. Whereas Mad Men has all the drama in the office, our Mad Men insipred shoes, including Flourish, ensure that all the drama is on your feet instead.
Lauren wears Frances, by Miss L Fire. This spectator inspired pump has black and white leather and an amazingly adorable removable bow clip that allows you to change up the look of the shoe. Wear the shoe clip during the day for a lady-like and professional look; then, remove the clip to transform the shoe into a sexy pump for a post-work cocktail.

Finally, Jen shows off John Fluevog's Mollie Johnson. This vintage, Mad Men inspired lace-up mary-jane pump is perfect for channeling your inner Betty, Peggy, or favorite pin-up girl.
