The dog days of summer are upon us and things at the shop have been decidedly dull. We sensitive Portlanders are not used to such soaring temperatures. When the thermostat reaches the triple digits we tend to hide under rocks or head to the river. So what that really means is the good stuff at Xtabay is starting to pile up. I mean just look at the fantastic array of vintage treasures I just posted!
So I am humbly asking that you come down to our air-conditioned vintage oasis and try some of these lovelies on.  We love nothing more than dressing you up. Don't you have a wedding or something to go to?
