A Vignette of Vignettes

pronounced [vin-yets]

By literary definition, a vignette is a short impressionistic scene that focuses on one moment or gives an effective impression about a character, an idea, or a setting, and sometimes an object. However, a vignette applies to far more than a novel; it is a definition that stretches into many realms of creativity. Whether literature, architecture, or fashion-related, a vignette gives just enough information for the mind to then fill in the blanks, thereby using one's own creativity to imagine the larger whole.

In fashion, it is the individual elements - the shoe, the necklace, the skirt, etc. - that make up the whole, or the entire outfit. Our own sense of style offers a glimpse of our personality to everyone we encounter. Although it may be just a small snapshot of who we truly are, what we wear speaks volumes. 

At Vignettes, we are devoted to helping you give your own impressions by offering an incredible collection of clothing, jewelry, and accessories. We also offer a unique array of home accents, furnishings, and gifts that allow you to incorporate your personality into your own decor.

Your selections not only allow you to expand your wardrobe and decorate your home, but also play a part in creating your own “vignette.” The way you pick prints, pair patterns, and add accessories offers a snapshot of who you are and what influences your style. At Vignettes, we carry shelves stocked with the perfect pieces to mix and match to mold your own stylish and inspired image.

A vignette isn’t just about what you have in your closet or home, but also how you style those items. Our work at Vignettes goes beyond the racks and register. With this brand new blog, we want to help you add individual touches to your personal “picture.” Through posts on fashion and lifestyle tips, tricks, and trends, we hope to not only offer you a vignette of Vignettes, but to give you the tools to design your own. Stay tuned- you won’t want to miss a moment!

à bientôt... see you soon!
